Besides anything else, "people who don't need it can't access it either!" is the most "nyeh-nyeh", "I'm not hitting you!" type of insufferably smug rules-lawyering possible.

"The law, in all its majesty, forbids rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges"-ass reasoning. Crenshaw and MacKinnon have written about this at length in the context of intersectionality and refusing to recognise the vulnerability of multiply-marginalised populations, too.

The Gender-Conservative movement cloaked itself in the language and thinnest veneer of feminism to legitimise transphobic politics. Now the institutions vilifying and marginalising trans people in the name of "protecting women" are shamelessly targeting reproductive autonomy as well (as expected.)

"After being held in isolation for about five days. Rodríguez was forced to strip naked in a shower while an officer "poured some kind of chemical liquid on her head, which seemed to be something used to clean floors and burned her eyes,” the filing read."

this is what ppl miss when they say bathroom laws are "unenforceable." the right has realized that it can deputize ordinary civilians to enforce them. even if formal punishment of trans ppl proves impractical, lawmakers will still consider the increase in sexual harassment of trans ppl a win

legit i can’t fathom modding a subreddit called r/MtF and just being M that’s insane. the only reason i can imagine for why a man in that role wouldn’t step down is actively wanting to hold power over trannies. fucking disgusting

You couldn’t make this stuff up. Transphobia and hypocrisy from Labour, turning schools into conversion therapy centres.

We warned you that Davies, Falkner et al hate other women. Transmisogyny is a subset of misogyny and people who hate trans women will hate other kinds of women too. In this particular case it's women younger than them, who they want to force pregnancy on. Bunch of Aunt Lydias.

It doesn't get any less sad finding out someone you used to respect uses claude or gpt

As a person who went through adolescence and into young adulthood as a boy- who was always encouraged to speak my mind- I was not prepared for how, as a girl, even the most basic enforcement of a personal boundary will get you called a bitch.

*GOOSE CHASING THESE BIGOTS* WHO COMMITS THE OTHER 3/4

if you're trans you owe it to yourself to learn how your hormones work instead of blindly trusting cis medical professionals

If you don't see the problem with forcing this man to carry an F for female on his driver's license then I don't know what to tell you

also, if your community is anti-DIY that probably correlates pretty well with being pro-rape, what with the belief or hatred of bodily autonomy and all

i do not trust a single fucking person who takes a staunch anti-DIY stance. that shit glows so fucking bright

THE CASS REVIEW MAINLY EVALUATED BIGOT BELIEFS INCLUDING THE IDEA THAT SUPPORT FOR TRANS YOUTH IE USE OF BLOCKERS 'SEALED THE DEAL' ON A TRANSGENDER IDENTITY AND THAT "80% WOULD DESIST" IF LEFT ALONE THROUGH PUBERTY. Cass didn't find evidence to support this despite desperately trying.

Thinking about how Trump posted this last March, it was a 5 minute story in the media, Democrats ignored it, and just one year later trans people's papers are being invalidated, we're segregated from vast parts of society, and we're being tortured and experimented on in prisons.

Labour: Compulsory conversion therapy for trans kids Lying about HAVING to follow SC misjudgment when they could change it anytime Introducing new court rules that caused the abuse of Dr Beth Upton Covering-up a huge increase in suicides of trans kids A puberty-blocker ban that harms children

"you don't need hrt to be trans" okay but I do need HRT to live comfortably in a body that isn't constantly betraying itself

Cass, who the Starmer government insist on prioritising over the entire medical field of trans medicine, keeps insisting that a trans inclusive ban on conversion therapy would ban the therapy she favours. It's not going to happen under Starmer.

Okay, class! Who can identify whether this is stupidity or maliciousness? Show of hands! Ah, yes, you at the back. What’s that? The intention is irrelevant when the result is the same? Gold star!

Sexual assault is a normalised part of male homosociality, and sexually charged violence against the least masculine or lowest status people in all-male groups and spaces is part of how men teach each other to uphold rape culture.

‘Gender critical’ transphobes, Ex-EHRC Chair Kishwer Falkner, and Sharron Davies both hate other people having bodily autonomy - They’re now trying to stop people getting abortion pills by post! So much for pretending to care about women & girls! 🤷🏼‍♀️😖

I'm truly sick of how people keep responding to the endless airtime given to the male grievance movement with "We should give them even more of our attention and focus" instead of, say, talking about its impact on WOMEN.

I cannot begin to express how mindlessly stupid this article is, with unfortunate amounts of trans people dancing along with it. They seek to undermine one of the best feminist parts of German organising because they feel it doesn't centre men enough in women's spaces. Yes really.

This is so accurate

turns out that cis women going on tour to say that they have no agency and are unable consent to their own healthcare is appealing to the epstein class

7. Worse, this precedent reaches far beyond Medicaid. If states may constitutionally “encourage citizens to appreciate their sex,” what stops ID marker bans, drag bans, clothing bans or even forced conversion therapy to "appreciate their sex?" The opinion offers no limiting principle.

6. The court’s logic is hypocritical: it says the ban applies equally to everyone, even though only trans people seek this care for gender dysphoria. As Sotomayor noted in Skrmetti, that is like banning interracial marriage for everyone and calling it equal treatment.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit. An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans. It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I wish people would understand that I didn’t transition to deconstruct the binary, I didn’t transition to abolish gender, I transitioned to be a woman

fell for it again award recipients

Labour: "The UK is putting women and girls at the heart of everything that we do." Also Labour: "protect abusive men who push women to suicide"

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride. Mainstream media: nothing Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes. Mainstream media: nothing. This is what extreme media bias looks like.

You can just be a tomboy or a feminine man update:

"encourage citizens to appreciate their sex" sounds both incredibly dystopian and like a euphemism for encouraging masturbation

There’s something about the constant stream of anti-trans news designed to psychically harm us being about our access to HRT and surgeries, and then when we freak out online about it, having ostensible trans people show up to remind us “not every trans person transitions” that feels fake as hell

Idk man seeing a huge trans account, whose content is mostly scaremongering about anti trans stuff which legitimately exclusively deals with HRT access, post a “reclaiming transsexuality is a facet of transmedicalism right wing brain worms” probably broke me

Why do so many people automatically equate being non-binary with not going on HRT do yall not see the actual enbyphobia in that

If HRT is not effective then why have thousands of trans people significantly benefited from it (myself included)?

This is precisely what makes british bigotry so utterly vile and insidious. In Britain they will torture and kill you, all while reminding you that they are doing it for your benefit. To protect you from harm.

The media took trans dignity without listening to a single trans person The Supreme Court took trans rights without listening to a single trans person Labour and the NHS took trans healthcare without listening to a single trans person

What, really, is happening is an attack on trans existence led by those in NHS England who Kemi Badenoch told us she appointed for their "gender critical" views, with Wes Streeting waiving it through because he lacks the desire to take on the Far / Right press his politically reliant on.

If you've been paying any attention you knew this was coming and you know where it's going. Don't despair, don't panic, get prepared. If you're reading this you already know about DIY and probably take that knowledge for granted. A lot of people still don't know about it and you can help them.

I love how they looked at trans people who believe HRT should be freely available to everyone, and trans people who believe HRT should only be available to straight trans people who knew from an early age, and said “these two things are the same”

Trans genocide is about the genocide of trans people, actually.

I am transsexual because I changed my sex, simple as that, and it isn’t “respectability politics” either like cis people are offended by the idea that I change sex and would rather I call myself transgender and still claim to be a biologically male woman
