1/🧵 We do need to talk more about the illegality and lawlessness of the Cass Review. Hilary Cass cited Anne Wæhre's then-unpublished “study” via “personal communication”. It was later published at doi:10.1007/s00787-024-02508-5 and doi:10.1111/apa.17530, and the papers have now been retracted.

Raise your children to see people of all sexes/genders as equally human, equally capable, equally worthy of respect and consideration , equally entitled to navigate society, equally closer in essence than apart, or reap the fruits of the enforced divisions you've sowed.

One thing that drives me up a wall is the widespread belief (often from weird ass self-declared postcolonialists) that ternaries of gender are more progressive than binaries. Both can be conduits of oppression. Sometimes a binary still has an implicitly othered ternary, too!

Terminology suggestion - "cisarchy" for rule by cis people , with cis supremacists being described as cisarchists. @taliabhatt.itch.io

Whole new meaning to "steamed clams"

It is actually kind of surreal that I haven't had a single , close, cishet male friend since 2011.

You could put Platner's quote here in the middle square of Sexual Predator Quote Bingo and it would still work just as well as a free square because of how ubiquitously they all say that. Fucking hell. Like STFU and fuck off, bro.

This is a really important flipside to the "can you fuck her then she's a trans woman" thing - trans men's bodies are often framed through the lens of it being a "shame" or a "waste" if they are considered attractive by heterosexual standards. Gross all the way down either way.

OK, I want to talk to the incompetent fuckwits that served as lawyers here. Failure of ASAB to capture transition-linked biology is trivial to establish for anyone that has more than two functioning brain cells. "Sex is at birth, trans people change gender sweaty, sex=/=gender UwU" - like STFU.

Obligatory 4th of July reminder that one of the key factors driving the US war of independence was getting hella pissy that they couldn't accelerate their hostile takeover of Indigenous people's lands without express approval of the British crown following the Royal Proclamation of 1763.

Diddly Dave must be taking the piss. The pushback against him came from several cis women, me, and a couple of cis men.

In both cases I think it speaks to a certain comfort most people from the majority stakeholder political constituency have where politics is a service model and so long as their service isn't really disrupted they think everything is fine.

People often write histories of social revolution and backlash/oppression with the narrative that the revolution went too far and after the people demanded too much freedom, someone needed to get things back under control. This is not true, or it's only true from the perspective of elite authority

fascinating - it is always a specific kind of cishet guy caping for transmisogynistic bathroom policies.

Make a transphobe cry today by pointing out that trans men are classified male and trans women are classified female by biomedical scientific convention. I might have broken this one's brain because they descended into a full on meltdown screaming "BaSic BiOlOGy" "BASIC BIOLOGY!!!!111!!!" at me.

Random epiphany.

Latest canard re: TMA/TME is that it is "bioessentialist" (assuming 'cause transfemininity is defined by being assigned (or coercively-reassigned) AMAB). By this logic, transness itself, defined by incongruence regarding ASAB, would also be bioessentialist, but funny how that isn't a problem.

Vital analysis of how the EHRC have misled global human rights regulators and parliament about the nature of criticisms of the UK and the EHRC from the UN independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity.

A majority of endocrinologists may possibly be woefully unequipped to handle HRT for trans patients in the US. www.endocrinepractice.org/article/S153... (Study from 2016). Half sampled at a major endocrinology conference hadn't even read the Endocrine Society's clinical practise guidelines.

Aaaand this is why letting the cis run around with a really decontextualised understanding of sex/gender distinctions was always an atrocious idea.

This would have been obvious to anybody who tried to make sense of the techbro ancap neofeudalist sorts such as Yarvin and their endorsement of Trumpism - erosion of nation-states as trustworthy is a means towards fostering the collapse of nation states per se, creating a vacuum for exploitation.

The reinterpretation of intersectionality to treat marginalisations as additive when modelling multiple marginalised groups drives me up the wall. Crenshaw's original point was the exact opposite - that MM groups' experiences can't be reduced to distinct individual marginalisations. You see ...

Older piece , but I am probably going to restart writing on Inanna's Razor soon. www.inannasrazor.com/2022/06/hand... .This piece is statement on trans solidarity across geographies and a case for it superseding ethnic/cultural/racial commonalities with cis people in the same geographies.

"our stories"? Takes chutzpah to ignore your culture of othering, excluding and oppressing Indian trans women, denying us womanhood, forcing us into a third class with legal inferiority? Or are you going to selectively absolve yourself by invoking your second-generation status this time?

transresistancenetwork.wordpress.com tcpipeline.org www.sqshbook.org/resources/qi... Start donating, cis people. This is on you, so fucking fix it.

These people are not even trying. These clowns just erased trans women altogether in the pursuit of including all trans people that were AFAB , on a day where transmisogyny specifically was legitimised in US laws.

I wish cis feminists would learn to perma-shut-the-fuck-up about trans people in the global south. Sexual abuse of trans girls and women, especially as minors, far far outstrips incidence for cis counterparts. As a survivor of multiple SAs, including by cis women, I can't stand these sentient turds.

The map is not the territory. Data > abstractions (linguistic or not). Any map that misrepresents the territory is objectively worse from an empirical standpoint than one that better represents it. Incredibly basic fundamentals that somehow evade the grasp of the US's top legal minds smh.

The worst thing is - there are three different sex/gender dichotomies. Cissexuals always equivocate between them & then deny the reality that transition alters renders sex assigned at birth an inaccurate representation of our biology. Said equivocation is baked into feminist epistemology.

Y'all, boosting my bestie's fundraiser again. She got medicated and was able to have a job for a while but she lost it after a PTSD-associated breakdown. I'm helping as much as I can but can't after this month (am sole provider for me + spouse too). www.gofundme.com/f/please-hel...

How do you end up with academic panels consisting of a cis woman and two trans men pontificating about transfemininity? www.kadjiamin.com/videos/v/mat...

Re: this - said uni admins are completely unaware of base rate fallacy. Even a model with a 1% false positive rate can result in way more false positives than true ones when true positives are rare in the population.

www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t... well worth a read

There's some BS about how "cis lesbians support us more than we support ourselves" or something on socials again. Just saying the sample size was so small that the difference in the % with a net positive view is statistically not significant.

Unbelievably lucky I managed to get the hell out of the UK before my egg cracked. Beyond tired of these reprehensible oppressive wankers.

Doing this the day before recess, to make sure there is as little scrutiny as possible for their campaign of hatred. I cannot overstate how much anyone connected to the Labour party is my enemy.

Academic paper that documents significant biases against trans women that survive workplace sexual harassment. Transmisogynistic beliefs predict the denial of sexual violence that trans women face more strongly - www.researchgate.net/publication/...

As a brown, visible transfem, it was fascinating getting lectured about "inherent harm" in wanting to pass for cis (for safety) & the supposed racism in "passing culture" by a self-appointed (AFAB enby, white) spokesperson for visibly trans racialised people. Unreal levels of cringe.

hell yeah - transphobic democratic chud from North Carolina, who did a huge amount of damage, lost his primary. I hope all his toilet paper turns insta-wet for the rest of his miserable life. www.erininthemorning.com/p/anti-trans...

#TransMutualAid #DisabilityMutualAid #UrgentMutualAid - chosen family is in danger of not making rent this month. She just finally got medication supports in place + got car fixed. Any shares + small contributions invaluable. I can't help her again yet for a bit www.gofundme.com/f/please-hel...

Help my bestie out, y'all , she finally got medical help and got her car fixed, she just needs a bit more help so she can make it through to the end of April unscathed. It'll be a month before I can help her again.

Found out Iceland's ex-minister for children is a child rapist that had a child from a victim (& forced him to pay child support). Must have been her "AMAB socialisation" </sarcasm>. The urge to attribute moral purity to AFABness drives me up a wall as a survivor of a public SA by a cis woman.

I chipped in a little to this mutual aid fund supporting frontline organisers in Minnesota. The US is not my country, but I value international solidarity, and I really want to see all the justified rage being turned into material support. Mutual aid is solid praxis, y'all - help these people.

For those who want to support the Minnesota general strike

The world is so incredibly bleak these days. Sending much love to the besieged people of Minnesota today resisting ever worsening fascism.

My professional experience in cancer research is heavily based on stats, machine learning and data science. I am looking to network with other trans people with similar skillsets that want to work on community-driven stats & data science to counter this etc www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

When I say I'm a radical transfeminist, I mean that I believe that transmisogyny qua transmisogyny is a distinct oppressive hierarchy impossible to deconstruct in a cis-dominated liberatory framework. The idea that trans women are less exploitable than cis women is both false & dangerous.

Hi, I guess. I'm transfem & an academic cancer researcher. Politics are heavily leftist & radical transfeminist. I withdrew from everywhere due to trauma from being SA'd a few years ago, but I'm slowly sticking my head out again 'cause community matters & I've isolated myself long enough.
