Transformation 66% Complete @ftwerewolf - Tumblr Blog

Transphobes on Twitter have started the tag #TransMenAreNotWomen.

No, that’s not a typo.

when you’re so transphobic you support trans people by accident but you don’t know enough about transness to course correct and it’s too late anyway

I won’t not reblog this. Mateo is a personal friend of mine and this needs more attention than it’s been getting. He was dragged out of the room by his collar, the police wouldn’t let him use his wheelchair.

Mateo will not be silenced, and he will not be erased.

Listen. Read. Educate yourselves. If you are unaware, fix that. Do not be complicit in the societal and legal oppression of transgender Americans.

Why you shouldn’t donate to Trans Lifeline

Ever since the Presidential Election results came in, there’s been post after post of people spreading around the phone number for a supposed suicide hotline for trans people, called Trans Lifeline.

What people don’t know is that this “hotline” is a huge scam meant to fund the founders’ personal lives, and that the hotline barely answers their calls, if ever.

A twitter was made a while back to cover the small, almost nonexistent amount of operators on the line, but it is now inoperable because the founders found out and shut down the source of the twitter bot’s information, because how dare someone provide the truth.

The founder, who is also trans, frequently posts pictures of her weapons, and even showed up at someone’s house because she didn’t agree with what they had to say about her hotline and her “friends”, then proceeded to make vague physical threats at them on FB. As a mentally ill person, she seems unfit to be handling such a lifeline that barely answers their calls in the first place.

She also spends the organization’s money frivolously, going from one state to the next for who knows what.

Here’s their 2015 annual report.

And here’s a claim that 6,000 hours of volunteer work equals up to $197,000. This is incredibly inflated.

THEY ARE ALSO NOT ACCREDITED BY THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF SUICIDOLOGY AND REFUSE TO CALL MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN THE EVENT OF A SUICIDE IN PROGRESS. THIS MEANS THEY WILL NOT CALL 911 IF SOMEONE ON THE LINE IS FUCKING DYING.

Only about 19% of incoming calls were being answered. This is a suicide prevention non-profit where they are only answering less than 19% of calls as of December of last year. When someone does get through, according to this report, they are talking to someone who has only received TWO FUCKING HOURS OF TRAINING.

They train people for two hours, only answer 19% of calls and when that 19% do get through, the policy does not follow the AAS crisis standard with regard to emergency personnel.

Here is a link to their IRS exempt form.

The 2015 submission indicates income of $129,922 and total assets of $22,255 so their income was about 47% more than budgeted. The 2016 budget is far more interesting given they are expecting $200,000 worth of grants. The travel bill is also surprising for a non profit, I realise there is a need to engage potential donors but there comes a point where the figure is just ridiculous and it would appear that that point is about a third of that budgeted total. I see the director of operations “in kind” contributions have been reduced from $80,000 to receiving an actual salary of $28,800 and she is bringing in a personal assistant for herself.

There could be a fucking body count and nobody would know.

I have a friend who called them once, had her call dropped 4 times, only to get a really bored-sounding operator on the other end, then she was yelled at BY THE OPERATOR for using the term ‘dude’. SHE WAS SUICIDAL AT THE TIME. YOU DO NOT YELL AT SUICIDAL PEOPLE:

On a final note, they are perpetuating the lie that 8 trans people died on the night of the election results.

At the Trans Lifeline we were devastated to hear that eight people — many of whom were teens — died by suicide last night after election results announced that Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. We are reaching out to the families to offer support and condolences. Trans people are among many people who are mourning today. We know that communities of color, muslims, immigrants, and many other groups are feeling the betrayal, sadness, and fear that comes with living in a country where a majority of people voted for a leader who hates you. It is personal. It is tragic. But it is not the end. Trans Lifeline has received over 350 calls from trans people in crisis, including many suicidal people. Our trans-identified operators are working hard to offer support, guidance, and hope through this difficult time. We’ve answered a staggering 115 calls in 24 hours, demonstrating that we are here for each other. It may feel right now as though hate won out, but we know that love is more powerful. Even though many in the trans community are giving everything they have to support each other, we have a long way to go to meet the need of trans people in crisis. We need to hire additional staff to train, support, and lead our volunteers. If we can raise 100K this month, then we can hire three full-time staff people to do this life-saving work. Please give now if you can. If you are trans, we say to you — Keep fighting. We love you. If you are not trans, we say to you — Stand with us. We love you too, and we need you to show up for us. We need staunch allies, real confidants, supportive lovers, close friends, affirming faith leaders, and compassionate strangers. We need to support one another now more than ever. Remember, together we save lives!

Save your time (and your life) and call the national suicide hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

You can also call the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386, and their donation information is here.

Protect trans lives. Don’t fall for a scam that exploits potentially suicidal trans teenagers and young adults. Give to actual charities and hotlines.

This is… wow terrible many states have their own crisis hotlines as well. So if you search for crisis hotline + your state you should be able to find one as well that is more reputable

Dr. Baudewijntje Kreukel defends conversion therapy and the transphobic autogynephilia theory.

Florence Ashley says this about the international organization for transgender health electing a transphobic person, Dr. Baudewijntje Kreukel, to the position of treasurer of WPATH.

WPATH, the largest and most well-recognized professional organization on transgender health, elected someone as treasurer who argued that the Standards of Care should reverse its opposition to trans conversion therapy when it comes to consenting adults.

That same Dr. Kreukels who argued just two years ago that practitioners should revive the now-defunct notion of autogynephilia and transvestic fetishism. In other words, she thinks there is a place in our psychological world for the view that queer trans women are misguided heterosexual men who are trans primarily because of their sexual attraction to the image of themselves as women.

I thought that, too, had been laid to rest by the tireless work of Julia Serano, Talie Mae Bettcher, and Charles Moser. Two theorists, one scientist, criticizing the theory from panoptical angles.

SIGN THIS PETITION NOW AND TELL WPATH THAT PEOPLE WHO REDUCE TRANSGENDER IDENTITIES TO SEXUAL PERVERSIONS HAVE NO PLACE IN TRANGENDER HEALTH CARE!

marlboro-trans

You heard it here first folks!! Females are females regardless of whether or not they have ovaries, so trans women are women regardless of their lack them. Well said :)

shitposts-n-shenanigans

You played yourself like a damn fiddle, fool

moonsofavalon

i love watching terfs run circles around their own logic:

“you need ovaries to be a wombyn!!!”

transman: guess who got that shit removed I’m a Real Boy™ now

“nO not like that you still have a uterus that makes you female!!!”

ciswoman who’s had a complete hysterectomy: guess i’m not a woman then

“tHAT”S NOT WHAT I MEANT if you have a vagina/vulva you’re female!!!”

transwoman who’s had bottom surgery: oooh i’ve got one of those does that mean i’m a Real Girl™ now??”

“NO YOU DON’T HAVE OVARIES OR A UTERUS”

literally everyone except terfs: *squints*

If you have xx chromosomes you are a woman, if you have xy you are male. You can’t change them either. Thank you for my insightful commentary about how dumb that original woman is to now make a real argument that cannot have any weird loopholes.

A better way to explain the fake argument is, if you at one point in your life had a uterus and ovaries, you are a woman, if you at one point in your life a penis, you are male.

If you can debunk this without saying I’m transphobic, please, do it. I don’t want to spread around false information. Thank you and have a wonderful day ;)

Boy do I have some news for you about how common having a chromosomal difference is. Btw have you ever had your chromosomes checked? I bet not. (Also there are 6 chromosome types. Not 2 :* )

Boy do I have news for you, I was talking about sex cromosomes. Which, there are only two of. Proof?

I see your Answers.com link and raise you Actual Recent Scientific Literature that explains the 6 viable sex karyotypes.

http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1258/jrsm.2008.080086

https://www.joshuakennon.com/the-six-common-biological-sexes-in-humans/

https://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2015/02/24/sex-biology-redefined-genes-dont-indicate-binary-sexes/

Modern scientific consensus is that biological sex is a combination of a variety of genetic traits, many of which are ruled by early environmental factors in how they express.

The numbers of RECORDED abnormalities are fairly limited, but even if the statistics are accurate, if anomalies were only 0.6%, out of 7.6 billion people on the planet, there’d be over 45 million that are not within the binary paradigm.

What do you suggest we do with them?

I recently went off on a friend of my sister’s because they tried to pull some shit like this.

This person is neither a vet, nor has veterans for family.

I explained that it has to do with heritage, and if they wanted to ACTUALLY HELP OUT VETERANS , tell the government to stop cutting vet programs and make more jobs and public places accessible for the disabled.

I said, that people like them just want to say shit, but never actually DO anything. Which is the very irony of trying to call the first pride “a parade”. It was a goddamn protest from the people who were beaten, arrested, and murdered for being who they were. It was a war within their own communities.

I remarked that he probably never met anyone personally from those times as she was born in the 2000s. But also because of the government defunding research in the AIDS program in hopes of a goddamn genocide.

“Papai” needed to do a little more shutting the fuck up, and STANDING the fuck up for injustices they saw, instead of trying to take the hard earned ones from people who have and still are fighting for their basic human rights.

I am just getting sick to death of people trying to TAKE AWAY from others when there’s plenty of goddamn room for us all.

Lastly, there comment doesn’t seem to take into account there are vets and those in active duty who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or queer who celebrate pride. She didn’t seem to understand this concept when I brought it up to her, so I tried rearranging it: Complaining about the existence of pride month because you wanted support for vets, wouldn’t make sense to vets who are LGBTQ.

Like… If she wants something done, there is a way without taking from other cultures.
