no

if you hear hillary cass saying that the evidence in youth gender medicine is borderline nonexistent and it sounds to you like she's walking back the findings of the cass report, there are two explanations:

she's a snake oil grifter and this is proof positive that gender souls are real and kids should be on drugs all the time because who has time for clinical studies when bluesky users are coaching each other into suicidality completely unprompted

you didn't read the cass report

like trust me it's good for your own mental health to treat gendies as if you know they know they don't actually believe any of it

Dramatic maybe but the fact that so many people on the left think that men can get pregnant makes me so depressed like where tf did we go wrong

the secret is they don't actually think that, they just know they're supposed to say they do

the bigger issue is that modern politics is driven by the desire to pwn your opponents rather than actually do anything, and "men can get pregnant actually" is just one step down the line of a bunch of kneejerk escalations ("being gay is ok" "god says being gay is gross" "literally who cares what the bible says" "but marriage is for making families" "men can get pregnant") and you can clearly see where each side lost the plot in favor of dunking on the other team (one side earlier than the other)

so yeah when people say "men can get pregnant" they don't actually mean "men can get pregnant," they mean "i wanna piss off my conservative uncle before he ruins thanksgiving again"

It’s really difficult to discuss anything to do with “trans” when the trans community can’t even agree on what “trans” is.

Some people will say that trans is when somebody suffers from gender dysphoria. Others will say that gender dysphoria isn’t required. Both parties will call each other transphobic for their position.

Some will say that trans is whenever you identify as a gender other than what you were born as. Some say that the trans label should be reserved for those who’ve medically transitioned and should not just be based on identity. Both parties will call each other transphobic for their position.

Then you ask them to define what “gender” is, and everyone will have a different answer. Most of these answers will be steeped in sexist stereotypes. Many answers will contradict others.

How can we discuss this topic and base laws around it, when nobody can even agree on who and what we’re talking about in the first place?

It's not an ideology that I was born in the wrong fucking body. Stop disrespecting your friends if you genuinely care about them

Objectively, physically, it’s impossible to be “born in the wrong body”. You are your body. It takes having a metaphysical belief system to claim that “you” exist in a nebulous realm somewhere outside and apart from your body, and that this splintered and disembodied “you” was put in the wrong one— as if it’s a vessel, as if you can even apply the concept of “incorrect” to it. Saying your body is “the wrong one” implies that “you” could have been born as a different body and still be “you” at all. If that had happened, it would be somebody else who was born, not you. Your brain and mind are physical parts of your body. If you swapped the body, there goes “you”.

No matter how you look at it, it’s an ideology and a spiritual belief system.

trans rights activists screaming at gay people "the leopards will eat your face" "they came for us first, they'll come for you next" "we're the canary in the coal mine"

hey dumbfucks have u forgotten about the last few hundred years where homosexuals have been beaten, raped, tortured, and murdered for being homosexual?

remember this little thing called the 1980s AIDS crisis that killed an entire generation of gay men because it was seen as "gay cancer" and governments across the globe didnt give a fuck til straight ppl started dying from it?

does "conversion therapy" and "corrective rape" ring a bell?

what about gays and lesbians having their own triangle during the holocaust?

do countries where homosexuality still carries a prison sentence not count? what about the seven countries where homosexuality carries a literal death sentence? how about same-sex marriage being illegal in 51% of all countries worldwide? or engaging in "homosexual activity" being illegal in 31% of all countries? or conversion therapy being legal in 81% of all countries?

did you know that gender-affirming care is only banned in 7% of all countries? did you know that some countries with homosexuality bans still provide gender-affirming care and/or allow people to legally change their gender?

but sure, trans people are the first group to ever experience oppression, including but not limited to: not being able to jerk off in the women's bathroom anymore. homophobia did not exist until 2016, when hatred for homos was created as a side effect of transphobia.

shut the fuck uuuuuup you entitled egomaniacal narcissists.

Assuming you're from the US, do you ever feel politically homeless? Democrats as a party seem to be increasingly pro-trans (Biden saying there are at least three genders etc), Republicans are solidly anti-trans but uhh... The Horrors.

Just wondering how you vote, if you do.

i wouldn't quite say politically homeless, like yes both sides have picked trans stuff as a wedge issue (and blamed the other side for using it as a wedge issue) but i'm certainly not gonna start voting republican any time soon over it. like there's a little more to it than "dems are pro-trans, gop is anti-trans" - dems aren't staunchly pro-trans, they're just broadly pro-the current thing. like with your example, yeah the president can say there are three genders, but you can get anyone on the left to go along with any framing of trans identity if you talk long enough. and this has come with material consequence, but nothing irreversible on a policy level (and no one arrested over trans critical tweets) so i don't think it's a lost cause yet

the republicans funny enough are the side that actually treats trans identity as a coherent concept. their concept isn't really grounded in reality and is obviously used as a scare tactic, but it's much less hazily defined than how the dems frame it, and that's how it gets dangerous. like they view trans as super double gay and push legislation accordingly (this is where you get the "they're gonna go after the gays after they wipe out the transes" nonsense from people whose history education began with the obama administration) and that causes real harm

like the nuance is in recognizing how being anti-trans is different from just not taking trans seriously as a concept (which is where i am), and that's much closer to the left's guiding principle of "yeah whatever let them express themselves however they want" than to the right's "electroshock therapy for everyone"

Just to be clear here, if you are TME and you are fantasizing about being TMA because we're "so transgressive", stop that line of thought. TMA folks die for those transgressions, and even those of us who don't die of it are punished to the point of extreme trauma for it. You can fantasize about it because you can, from outside, view the benefits of transgression without experiencing the negative consequences of it. It is EXTREMELY offensive to be painted as "so lucky" for something which has left me afraid to exist freely. It's like if you saw me complaining about my disability and said "Wow, you're so lucky that you have a disability, I'd love for people to fawn over me!", not only are you ignoring the massive negatives, but you're assuming a positive that doesnt really exist. So fuck off

[dapperprincess]

Just to be clear here, if you are male and you are fantasizing about being a woman because we're "so transgressive", stop that line of thought. Female folks die for those transgressions, and even those of us who don't die of it are punished to the point of extreme trauma for it. You can fantasize about it because you can, from outside, view the benefits of transgression without experiencing the negative consequences of it. It is EXTREMELY offensive to be painted as "so lucky" for something which has left me afraid to exist freely.

terfs are genuinely so stupid i don't know if i've ever seen another group of people so happy to flaunt anti-intellectualism and flagrant misinformation and pseudoscience except for, you know, racists and misogynists. it's almost as if there's huge overlap in those ideologies...... hmm i wonder why that could be

[lovelycranium]

These posts are always so… vague. What kind of "misinformation", what kind of "pseudoscience"? Just sit there and guess. Imagine you've never heard the word "terf" and you come across this post. You can't even discuss with the person what you disagree on. Because they just threw at you "You're just like misogynists!!" and you just stand there with your "'woman' isn't a feeling and there is no 'female souls'"🧍‍♀️that's our "pseudoscience". people go into funny stuff like astrology, palmistry even think the earth is flat.... and we occupy such a niche - we think women are biology. what strange women we are

[marmorada]

anyway let’s all frolick in my “biological sex denial” tag and have fun looking at the real pseudoscience and anti-intellectualism at play here

[harrypotterfuryroad]

to be fair to that guy, i think he's making a pretty obvious joke when he suggests women are treated with any actual kindness at all. cue laugh track

i mean that’s the fundamental concept behind transmaxxing and he mentions being heavily invested in 4chan culture (where that originated) so i think it’s at least safe to not be super charitable here
