It's genuinely impressive how transphobes manage to be factually incorrect about everything.
I don't have all that much objection to "adult human female" as the definition of woman. It's not great but it works fine mostly. And trans women are, after all, adults and humans and female. The problem is transphobes don't know what the fuck words mean, including female.
Trans men can have a penis @mrjamesob.bsky.social They can also use urinals. And, while we are here, trans men are banned from the men's AND The women's under this update.
"It'd be so much easier to be an ally to trans people if only trans people would shut the fuck up and stop expecting literally anything."
Deeply disappointed at the comments on my Ken Jennings video. People would rather have empathy for a cis person than the trans person mocked. Yeah it’s the trans persons fault for lightly pointing out to a cis person the New York Times is bad actually to trans person. She’s making it about herself.
😁 There is no way you'll guess the first one.

0.000001% of female athletes are transgender. 1/15 female athletes will be sexually assaulted by a male coach. Shouldn't he be promoting a complete ban on male coaches in women's sports? Of course not, because he actually doesn't give a shit about women's safety.
"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care
at some point we're basically just standing in a room full of cis people applauding each other and patting each other on the back for our "support" of trans rights while the actual trans people are outside that room being targeted for removal from public life
If only literally anybody, any group of people, had said this would happen... Oh wait...
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
You wanna know something wild? I'm actually streaming right now. It's a thing I remembered I sometimes like to do. And remember how you like to join me while I play weird shit from the last century? Now's your chance! We're getting blasphemous! www.twitch.tv/sapphysecret

"Being trans is sad Being trans is horrid." Shut up. Being trans is great. Look. I've got inner peace and a fucking scythe.
Today at the convent: the nuns have been teaching me to scythe.
While it certainly wasn't the only factor, collective covid measures followed by a summer of major uprisings are a reminder of how terrified the gentry are of people realizing they can act and work together. They're pushing hard to erase the memory of that entire time period for a reason.
Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.
whoa that’s fucking crazy maybe you should start listening to them
Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.
Other known reasons for detransitioning and/or ceasing medical transition are: unable to afford treatment, scaremongring about side effects, actual negative side effects, being cut off from support (incl. Being made homeless) if they transition, torture (aka conversion therapy).
Detransition is almost always a result of incessant harassment from former friends and family members, but it can also come from employers, or from the general public just being openly hostile to a trans person.
Literally seen them make this argument. Hell, the Cass Report came close to saying it (with zero evidence).

If you actually believed that, you'd advocate all kids to be put on puberty blockers because puberty causes permanent changes to their bodies. But you don't. You just think trans lives are worth less than cis lives, and so trans kids should suffer to ensure no cis kid makes a mistake. We get it.
they have found this every year for like 10 years but it still won’t be good enough because they literally want to kill us all and it doesn’t matter if it’s good or not to them.

ABSTRACT: "We studied the thing that has already been studied because you motherfuckers won't shut up about how the studies are wrong/don't exist. And what do you know? We got the same result. Not that you bigotted dropkicks will give a shit this time."

Their will is a hammer that they are using to beat reality itself into a shape of their choosing, a simple world where reality is exactly what it looks like through their eyes: devoid of complexity, where they are right and their enemies are silent. They are trying to build a flat earth. -Dan Olsen.
I'm enjoying 'Little Women' more than I expected I would (and I did expect I'd enjoy it) but I just know I'm going to be disappointed when I get to the end and Jo hasn't realised that she's gay, despite how obvious that is to everybody else.
Y'know, I haven't heard the slogan "listen to women" for a long time. I wonder if it's because women kept saying the wrong thing. The wrong thing like "we accept, stand with, and support trans women."
"Unison, Aslef, Usdaw, and the Musicians’ Union will not attend Labour Women’s Conference in September over the decision to ban trans women from formal proceedings at the event. The unions are among Labour’s largest financial backers..."
If it seems like there is a big overlap with transphobes and white supremecists, it's because anti-trans ideology is innately white supremecist.
Transphobes are uniformly trash and we don't need to pretend otherwise. It isn't complicated.
"Humans can't change their sex." Guess I'm super-human, then 🤷♀️. Sorry you're not on my level. Sucks to suck.
If the problem was simply that cis people who aren't on social media did not know the extent of it, then you'd expect them to care after they're told. But they don't care. And they fucking hate that you expected them to care.
People have been saying "outside of online trans circles you'd be surprised how few people know" but honestly all the examples they give make it sound to me a lot like everyone actually does know and cis people, "allies" included, either don't care or actively *want* Rowling to kill trannies
