Yesterday — April 7, 2022 —, Alabama passed a bill making gender-affirming health care a felony for people up to age 19. This means that trans youth who seek gender-affirming medical care, their supportive parents, and their doctors all may face criminal charges for the care that is supported by every major medical organization in the U.S.

This is the third state to pass this felony ban on trans care.

On the same day, Alabama passed another bill banning trans youth from gendered public spaces (like bathrooms), and a third bill banning any discussion of LGBTQ+ topics in schools.

Half of all U.S states are moving these exact same bills through their legislatures at lightning speeds, including my home state where I transitioned as a minor.

I have only seen outrage about Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill (which affects trans people, too, by the way). Please also keep track of what is happening to trans people at the state level in the U.S. We are being banned from public life and life-saving medical care. These are children. Lives depend on us challenging these bills.

If you live in the UK please please sign this petition and reblog this post. If you dont live in the UK please reblog this and spread it as far as possible.

TLDR; they're trying to ban conversion therapy in the UK and are refusing to ban it for trans people too. We need your help.

Petition: Ensure Trans people are fully protected under any conversion therapy ban

Ensure any ban fully includes trans people and all forms of conversion therapy.

ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”

more cis feminists should have this mindset

[gaydva-deactivated20180104]

one of the first examples that she uses to introduce her point about how perception by others can shape a person’s performance actually uses a trans woman. it explains that as a certain trans woman became to be seen as a woman more and more frequently, the ppl arond her eventually started viewing her as being ill equipped for tasks that they did not bother her about pre-transition. eventually she even found herself underperforming in these tasks herself.

whats the name of the book

Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine

[moon-boob-deactivated20191204]

Here’s a pdf, babes <3

[insufficient-earth-skills]

I knew it was this book before I’d finished reading the first two lines. Honestly this book is indispensible if you want to debunk any gender determinism people claim is science. I can’t recommend it enough.

[dodgylogic]

She’s written a new one! It won the Royal Society prize for science book of the year, and it’s called Testosterone Rex, and it is excellent.

(Bonus: it’s making old white men really really mad.)

(Bonus bonus: I am myself a neuroscientist, and the old white men mentioned above – who are not – could not have missed the point harder if they’d actively tried. Which. Maybe?)

[repost-this-image]

Thanks to moon-boob for providing a PDF, but please, buy the book if you have the disposable income. SUPPORT THIS AUTHOR!!

It's really weird to be an adult trans man, sometimes. Fitting in with youth-centric trans spaces is a struggle. So much FTM positivity is juvenile and focussed on "trans boys". Which is totally fine in itself, and I'm glad young trans guys have that positivity to enjoy... But I hope that allies of FTM guys know that juvenile advice and endearments aren't a catch-all, and many of us are well into adulthood. I'd prefer to be affirmed as a man. I don't like being called cute or adorable, except by my partner. I'm just not a particularly cute or adorable person, and I never have been. I'm definitely not a boy.

I've spoken with some non-binary transmasculine friends who feel similarly. While they don't necessarily call themselves men, they do call themselves "guys", and don't enjoy infantilising endearments.

I don't think youth-centric endearments are inherently bad, but I do take issue with FTM and transmasc endearments being limited to that, so often. I just feel that there's less and less space for masculine trans people and trans men who don't vibe with being cute or adorable.

One of the hottest men I ever met was a trans man with a big beard, a thick moustache, and a hairy non-op chest. He wore leather and rode a motorbike, and I reckon he was about 40 when I met him. He never had surgery and never wanted to. He was a big, loud, gruff bear. He was proud to be a transsexual man and he had a masculinity I've never quite seen in anybody else before. I feel like that kind of FTM energy is so unappreciated, especially online.

Also, like... Not all young trans men want to be seen as cute, adorable boys. It's totally fine if they do, but that's not everyone's idea of gender affirmation. Even teenage trans men may not enjoy the idea of being called a cute boy. Many young trans men want to be like that gruff biker bloke. I don't like that this ideal of FTM existence is so commonly dismissed in favour of cutesy boy ideals.

It'd be nice if we could remember that some trans guys just want to be grown, masculine men.

All kinds of affirmation should exist, and we shouldn't neglect trans guys who set out to be as masculine as possible. Masculinity isn't bad or wrong, and wanting to be received as a masculine man isn't bad or wrong.

Honestly it's not that bad as it sounds. It takes the eagles about 2 hours to get to my liver and another 2 to eat it. The whole ordeal is over by one and I've got the afternoon to myself.
