It becomes a huge game of punching down when you're reacting to the validity of people's lives who are already some of the most traumatized, vulnerable populations of the world.

Trans people have existed since the beginning of human history and they will long outlive any social movements to destroy them.

I hate that so many think that transness is something offensive towards ones worldview, and that their confusion will be met with malice, what a terrible lie that's been thrust on people's worldviews, whittling down entire groups of people into one possible mindset.

Most trans people I know are very tired, if someone gets upset over not being gendered correctly that doesn't mean that the "ideology" is aggressive. Most of us shy away from standing up for ourselves, a lot of us are scared and in the closet, only the most visible of us are the biggest targets and what a sad world. It takes having to unpack your ****, for years, and some of us are luckier than others to realize it younger in life. What a world that as soon as you start understanding yourself, the convergence of your traumas in the world, what you mean to yourself, how you've longed for the world to see you and you know in your heart, that the world starts telling you that you're wrong, that you're a freak, that you deserve death you unnatural heathen.

It's a tale as old as whenever they started queer-bashing that they began to dehumanize trans people as people that were less than that, undeserving of life itself. And after having figured out their **** no less, people making up these narratives for us, most people that think all these things about the "trans agenda" or whatever have never talked to a trans person.

I know surely these words might fall on deaf ears, and that I'm in for intellectual retaliation having even said them, but know that nothing I said was in malice or hatred for your person. In fact me saying this makes me even further a target, not just to you but to the entire world that sees people like me as something to step on. My government has multiple targets on my head and I'm scared as I am hopeful for social change. I'm realizing the extents and intersections of my transness and the world wants me to die because I understand that.

A lot of people are purely, jealous of the freedom of person that presents them. A lot of these lawmakers would loveee to be fruity and shed their fragile masculinity, but they make these laws because they want to control what they're scared to let themselves have. I'd say this is true for the general populace as well. I know plenty of cis men who hang out with trans people and are shining examples of men that are comfortable in their gender and sexuality, they might explore a bit past that, but consider themselves men nonetheless. The men I am referring to are ones that would grumble and gripe walking past visibly queer people. Psychologically, the traits you hate most in others are ones you surely have within yourself.

“manufactured victimhood” jesus christ. You do understand that the US government is threatening to ban hormone therapy for adults in several states, and that trans people, particularly post-op ones, being cut off from that causes them to suffer menopausal effects, osteoporosis and severe mental distress. Trans prisoners are already being forcibly detransitioned and intentionally placed in prisons where they are overwhelmingly subjected to physical and sexual violence. Trans women are four times as likely to be the victims of violent crime than cis women. The US just eliminated the LGBT youth suicide hotline. Though given the fact that you make fun of the higher suicide rate among trans people I’m sure you don’t give a ****.

I distinctly remember hearing of a "trans genocide" being in full swing maybe about a decade ago, under a Trudeau govt. In the words of one of my favorite scenes from Die Hard 3, "Hey, just relax mate, maybe you'll live through this."

I googled this and the top symptom listed is "irregular periods"... Is that a major problem for MTFs?

I suspect this means men are being placed in male prisons?

It means that they are being cut off from their HRT, the health effects of which we’ve already established. And this. https://www.pushblack.us/news/how-v-...prison-culture

Sounds very unpleasant stuff. And yet, what is gained by calling it "menopausal effects"?

Unless google deceives me, "Menopause is when periods stop for good."

In what sense can periods stop having never started?

As in, symptoms common to those in menopause. Obviously not all of the symptoms menopausal cis women suffer are relevant to trans women. I used “menopausal symptoms” as shorthand for stuff like this:

Let's speculate on why the word referring to menstruation is the very word that trans activists use to refer to symptoms afflicting the bodies of biological men, for whom menstruation is a biological impossibility.

Sounds a bit aspirational, wouldn't you say? Shaping reality through language and all that?

Who says we never link to Pink News on Rishi Sunak says 'a man is a man and a woman is a woman'

We asked Labour’s 59 LGBTQ+ MPs if they think trans women are women – just four replied saying yes

I'm sorry, Marie. I'll try harder to entertain you.
