it is genuinely concerning to me how many people on this website don't think hating on trans men is transphobic.
they'll say "omg look at these whiney transandrocunt theyfab birthday boys" and get surprised when you tell them that that's transphobic
Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone
every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...
i made a separate post about this but actually there are plenty of people cough white people who care about animals more than they ever do human people . not what i'm talking about make your own post
Imagine you're the head of the center for treating Boneitis in your country. There are many observational studies that show Bone Unhurting Juice helps with Boneitis, but you only hand out Bone Unhurting Juice after a screening process where you deprive the patients of calcium.
You then publish research.
Your research, performed exclusively within your jurisdiction, claims that patients receiving Bone Unhurting Juice still suffer from osteoporosis, have many different health issues associated with calcium deprivation, and your conclusion is that you've revealed a flaw in Bone Unhurting Juice research.
Except… You're the one giving the patients osteoporosis.
You are accepted as a leading voice of reason by the Association for Concerned Parents of Boneitis Fakers. Countries condemned for their treatment of Boneitis patients flock to your research.
The research where you admit that your approach to Boneitis treatment is giving patients osteoporosis.
There continues to be no evidence to suggest that calcium deprivation does ANYTHING to benefit Boneitis patients. You make the calcium deprivation more intense because of your publications.
Mengele comparisons are not just appropriate at this point, they are necessary. You should not be in the position of authority that you have, because you are actively harming your patients.
Actual Boneitis experts in your country who offer Boneitis treatment without calcium deprivation get shut down because you say they're being irresponsible.
You keep shitting out more and more self-incriminating research.
Opinion piece writers call your critics "extreme" and "lacking nuance."
Your critics are rightly pointing out that you are a hack elevated to the position of an unaccountable petty tyrant held to no standards, allowed to scrutinize others from a position of unearned authority.
Most of your critics are your patients.
You should resign. You do not.
This makes you evil.
This post is about the gatekeeping model of trans healthcare.
The government mandates that bonitis patients get regular and burdensome X-rays to check on their bones. The resulting statistics show that those treated for bonitis have massivly elevated rate of recorded bone diseases and injury.
You suggest that bone unhurting juice is the culprit despite knowing about surveillance bias and that your ideological allies are giving them osteoporosis.
You publish the data in a paper with an overtly deceptive title and hand it to right wing grifters and demagogues to use to further abuse your research subjects.
This is a level of acedemic malpractice would not look out of place in 19th century medacine
You should lose your license and your research position. you do not
this makes you and the system evil
This reblog is about Riittakerttu Kaltiala specifically
One reblog = one "In a just world Riittakerttu Kaltiala would be facing criminal charges for human rights violations, so it's extremely lenient that all we're asking is that she's removed from her position of power over vulnerable patients."

Project 2025 outright calls on conservatives to fund and manufacture more “studies” on the “negative” effects of trans-affirming care.
guess we need to be circulating this psa again. This Is A Fucking Trap. Do Not Participate.
The “spiritually Isr**li” meme caught on with white people and neoliberals because it obscures the actual truth that Isr**l is spiritually and materially Amerikan in every way
one last point whenever people pretend that criticizing israel or even fully praying for its complete collapse are antisemitic that could only be true if you genuinely believe zionists' actions would be perfectly acceptable if they were any other religious or ethnic group which no one on earth would believe and zionists know how ridiculous it is once you strip it down to that stop giving them the time of day and just let them bark at nothing because that's all they'll ever do just like every other supremacist ideology that came and went before them
"i would kill a pedophile to protect my child" ok but would you teach your child how to say no? even to adults? even to adults you like? would you teach your child the words "penis" and "vulva" and then use them? would you let them ask questions about their body? would you answer them honestly? would you learn how to cope with your feelings when you talk about human bodies, so they don't feel ashamed? would you set a positive example for how you talk about your body? would you tell your child they don't have to hug or kiss anyone? would you tell your family the same? would you stand by them when they refuse to hug someone? even someone you know has never done anything to hurt them? would you let your child avoid food they don't like? would you let you child avoid people they don't like? would you believe them? would you sit in the discomfort of not knowing all the answers and not take it out on them? would you love your child the same if someone did hurt them? would you make them feel valued just as they are? would you let them talk to doctors or nurses in private? would you let them express their feelings? would you show interest in their life? would you let your child say no to you? would you help your child feel safe coming to you when they make a mistake? would you apologize to your child? would you believe them? would you put aside your anger to focus on what would make your child feel safe and loved? would you put your ego aside for your child? would you take your child's concerns seriously? would you listen to your child? would you believe them?
I would both do all those things AND kill a pedo to protect my child, if I had to.
Yesss
i'm gonna add this comment by @papercrane:
"Maya angelou's family killed a pedophile that raped her, and that just traumatized her more. "I thought that I had caused the man’s death, because I had spoken his name. That was my seven-and-a-half-year logic. So I stopped talking for five years." Read I know why the caged bird sings."
and here is my comment:
the fantasy of killing a pedophile to defend your child is... an escape from reality. as with all fantasies where a single act of violence stands for a lifetime of effortful care. it lets us off the hook for the day to day labor of actually protecting the human beings around us. it gives us an excuse to look away from what abuse actually looks like.
it allows us to ignore that setting boundaries is a daily practice. it allows us to ignore the subtle ways in which we punish children for having boundaries. it allows us not to think about things we can do, the effort we can put in, in smaller repeated ways, to be kind and caring. to be safe to talk to.
it is a grand gesture that, were you to actually go through with it, would neither prevent the harm that you fear nor help your child to heal from it. it is an idea with no bearing on reality for 99.99% of people, while rape and abuse are a reality for a large fraction of people.
it is not useful to imagine killing a pedophile. it is not useful to claim you would kill a pedophile. it wouldn't be useful to actually attempt to kill a pedophile in almost any situation.
it is useful to think about how you can help your child know they can get help. they can say no. they can tell adults to stop. they deserve to be comfortable. they deserve to be informed.
the entire point of the post is that your child will not be saved by your imagined wrath. the entire point is that your day to day actions, and your attitude towards children as people, are more impactful to your child's well-being. far more realistic. more important.
not least because your child doesn't need you to be wrathful. they need your love. they need care. they need attention.
meanwhile, the public performance of wanting to kill child abusers doesn't do anything to child abusers. most child abusers believe they are doing the right thing for their children.
saying you want to kill abusers doesn't signal anything good to children, either. as others have said, it makes children more afraid to speak up and ask for help. that might be their mom, their coach, their troop leader. it gives those abusers leverage; the children cannot tell if they want things to be stable.
and it makes it harder for adults to BELIEVE children, too! because if their child was really abused, then they've staked their honor on committing that violence, even if it was against their brother or spouse or grandpa or pastor or neighbor or their other kid's favorite babysitter. and if they don't want to do that, well... then they must decide whether they believe completely their child, or whether their child's boundaries must really be respected, or... if maybe it's impossible to know.
how many abuse survivors have tried to disclose, only to be told that so-and-so wouldn't do that, or they didn't mean it, because so-and-so loves you and we all like so-and-so. this dichotomy goes both ways, psychologically. if a child abuser is entirely evil and has to be killed, then someone who's not entirely evil and i don't want to kill can't be a child abuser. this must be something else. there must be a mistake.
you can not adequately protect your children from abuse if you hold on to this idea. i am telling you. your insistence that killing pedophiles will protect your children is holding you back. it is not useful. it is not cute to talk about how much you want to do a single act of violence to abusers as if that would ever be enough to outrun the culture of abuse and the dehumanization of children in our society. you cannot cling to this like a talisman that would ward off any harm your children may come to. you cannot escape reality by telling yourself you'd be a total badass and kill that bad guy dead. this is not helpful.
I'm sorry but this is fucking insane are yall serious???
I'm sorry what is actually the fuck wrong with the UK
I think a really really funny idea to pop up in this recent anti-trans hysteria is the idea that someone needs consent to use a public restroom. like so many cis transmisogynists throw around "we don't consent to transgenders using our bathrooms" as if the act of a transgender woman pissing, literally in the privacy of a stall, is tantamount to a violation of someone's body. it's genuinely so beyond ridiculous it boggles the mind. i didn't consent to you pissing in a place where I can't even see you doing it.
they use that word deliberately because it evokes imagery of sexual assault tbh, thew view us being there as inherently violating so they describe it as if the violence has already happened.
i didnt consent to sharing a restroom with you. i didnt consent to seeing you exist in public. i don't consent to this fact of life and the fact you couldnt feasibly get me to consent to it means YOU are a predator now.
While headlines were giving the Catholic church hierarchy plaudits for symbolic gestures in support of immigrants and a papal lunch with tra
Missing hormones. Canceled surgeries. Bureaucratic denials. Late last year the Catholic Church banned all trans healthcare across its sprawl
Quick summary on why this is significant:
There are many states (including states with progressive governments) where over 1/3 of all total available hospital beds/clinics/doctor office practices are in Catholic institutions (map here from 2020).
The ban is for all transgender healthcare: HRT, surgery, adults as well as children.
It is a new ban; many of these places previously provided trans healthcare and people have lost their coverage, often the only available coverage in their area.
The ban voted on by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, was passed with 206 in favor and 7 against, and they specifically quoted Pope Francis saying, "I want you to fight gender ideology, which is repugnant to the Bible and our tradition," as the reason why it was necessary.
More information on the Catholic Church being a huge driver of international transphobia can be found in Judith Butler's "Who's Afraid Of Gender?", chapter 2, "Vatican Views".
jd vance getting called a moron is always funny but ☝️🤓 we can’t be forgetting the catholic church is literally evil
Normal people
Least psychopathic isr*eli
it is really funny to me how the american far right has tried to co-opt catholicism primarily bc the aesthetics for run of the mill american christofascist evangelicalism suck so bad and bc mainline protestantism like episcopalianism or presbyterianism is totally libbed out but ofc catholicism is the one denomination they could have chosen where they do actually have to at least pretend to respect the earthly authority of another entity besides their own political figureheads
