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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
