I'm a disabled refugee saving up for gender-affirming surgery. It's scheduled for July, and as of this moment, I'm 2.8k short of my goal. Any donation is appreciated 🙏 gofund.me/2a80c1fec

It feels like the United States has the most solipsistic culture imaginable, with a populace unable to parse global events through any lens other than how they are personally affected.

What do lesbian separatists from the 70s and Sheila Jeffreys have in common with Tumblr? Can we end patriarchy by adopting the Ancient Roman view of sex? And how can you live the most lesbian life possible? Tune in to our latest Patreon exclusive to find out!

someone else go check if i did good, i can't listen to recordings of my own voice without catching fire

It's a great episode. Again, Cracked Ivory is excellent for people like me; bimbos who should know more about trans history and academia.

This episode is out now wherever you listen to podcasts!

ICYMI 🧵

Wanting trans people to cease to exist in public yet continue to exist as a sexually available underclass is the default transphobic position.

I have 3k left to raise on my GFM until June 18th. The overall goal is over halfway there, and it would suck to get stuck close to the end. Please help out if you can, it would mean a lot gofund.me/48e9f91bd

Watching the new philosophy tube and getting slammed with the memory of Norway's gender clinic just straight up objecting to the wording of a conversion therapy ban because they said, mask-off, that it would interfere with their diagnostic methods

We need more awareness of orgs that sound like they're a Serious Scientific Outfit while secretly being a collection of Christian fundies cranking out junk science and 'studies' with ass methodology to legitimise their ideological agenda. That's about as pure epistemic vandalism as it gets.

...also worth mentioning that "skepticaltherapist" who first proposed of "transgender social contagion" turned out to be Lisa Marchiano, now a prominent anti-trans activist (advisor to SEGM, Genspect, & the Gender Exploratory Therapy Association): juliaserano.medium.com/did-lisa-mar...

...now, 10 years later, there are over a dozen studies contradicting the “social contagion/rapid onset gender dysphoria” hypothesis – I link to all of them in this recent essay (no paywall): on Medium: juliaserano.medium.com/lies-damned-... & Substack: juliaserano.substack.com/p/lies-damne...

precisely 10 years ago today, the concept of "transgender social contagion" was first invented on the now infamous anti-trans parent website 4thWaveNow. a full timeline of how the concept spread (not unlike a "social contagion") can be found here: juliaserano.blogspot.com/2019/02/orig...

Anti-feminism is the collective cultural temper tantrum at the temerity of women who ask if we can be more than exploitable sex objects.

New Philosophy Tube just dropped on Nebula ⭐️ A complete history of conversion therapy from 1849-now, including an exposè of groups trying to keep it legal in Britain and enforce it on the NHS with the apparent blessing of Health Secretary Wes Streeting nebula.tv/videos/philo...

Get 'em while they're hot

The work continues, but maybe slower.

Having pioneered the "Actually, you just don't get it" approach to medicine with trans people, the NHS is excited to roll this out to every other cohort it can't be bothered dealing with.

The UK is not run by the fucking "adults in the room" it's operated by a regime of abusers and sadists and cranks who prioritise ideology and cruelty and a harshly punitive, conformist worldview over the literal functioning of their rotten, inbred, class-obsessed nonce-worshipping society.

Patients were forced to go private at great personal cost because NHS assessments for ADHD have waitlists up to 8 years long. And now, despite having those diagnoses, GPs are just refusing to give people meds they need for a diagnosis they have because... fuck you, that's why. Cool!

But also the modern trend of a 'wellness' that would rather see people die of 'natural causes' than live with biotechnological interventions meant to prolong and improve our lives cannot tell the difference between body fascism and bodily autonomy.

The most nonsensical thing about this is that the Christofascist, Nationalist projects being decried oppose transition access and universal healthcare. Calling HRT or surgery a part of a eugenical system when the system tries to gatekeep and deny it to trans people is exactly backwards.

Online queers stop rewriting "Transsexual Empire" in pseudoprogressive language challenge

The experts who said "this person has no qualifications to work in this field" have said old people have been misled about the realities of trans healthcare by social media

1) expert? In what? 2) online whisper networks have always been the best source of information about transition and life in transition, ms. "What's a peer review"

I don't give a fuck what the woman with blood on her hands as a result of the policies she pushed thinks

Oh okay I hit the gross part where the book is like "women leave college and spend more time around men and as they get older have more opposite-sex encounters, this is proof of sexual fluidity and nothing else." -100/10 eat barbed wire

300+ pages on "women who have fluid sexualities are sexually fluid. cite my book"

The like bizarre thing about this book is that it lays out its thesis as "women's sexuality is more fluid than we understand" and then in the very beginning is like, "I can divide my group into two: women who only experience same-sex attraction, and those who don't". So like. What.

Happy Porcelain Friday everyone. Only 7 more days until Bloodstained Porcelain comes out. Oh wow that is really close, so close you can almost taste the porcelain. If your interested in a story with Doll TF and bloody murder, why no preorder at: chimeratallulah.itch.io/bloodstained...

Really making the subtext text

You know I genuinely don't understand why a lot of people seem to think that depicting trans women as "gender-ambiguous" or "effeminate males who long to be seen as Real Women but can't" is like, "breaking stereotypes". That's the dominant narrative on trans women. It's what most people think.

Early access! Today Talia, Emma, and @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social have gathered to apologize for the lesbian sins they've committed before they were born: the politics of Michigan Women's Festival. Tune in to find out why time is a flat circle!

yea sorry, but this paragraph is also shit, because it reduces “the ruling class” to “capitalists”, and omitting what chomsky himself said about the abuse of women. this is not only about capitalism, it is also about patriarchy. chomsky wasn’t just seduced by the ruling class, he is a man.

I actually wrote this as an erotically-charged moment in "Estro Junkies" btw

NEW STUDY! @juliahusar.bsky.social and I have a grant to build trans health and wellbeing tech, and we need input from other trans women and transfems to make sure it serves us all well. This is research BY transfems FOR transfems and we're inviting y'all to be part of it. Also, we're paying!

dropped a @dolphindiaries.bsky.social link in a campaign email to cite how detrans people share some of the challenges and needs that trans people have, largely imposed by the anti-trans regime

very excited to have my response included in the latest Boston Review forum against Democratic moderation! here it is, my best argument for why Dems shouldn't "moderate" on transgender rights & LGBTQ issues more generally (as they are inextricably linked): www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

Help Emma, she is cool and deserves many things including gender-affirming care

i fly out for revision in 8 days and could really use the help to get me through the 2-3 week recovery afterwards <3

"transition regret blah blah" okay well my actual regret is missing out on living as myself for 15 years. if i wasn't put in conversion therapy and met NB lesbians sooner, maybe i could've had those years, but womp womp
