A big trans rights hindrance is cis people refuse to believe things could have happened without them being aware. On the right, "You never heard of transgender five years ago!", every five years, for 40 years. On the left, it being "too fast" to have rights in 2026 we had in the 10s, or 00s, or 80s.

I am a critic of incrementalism. But even if you aren't, the logic of incrementalism only functions if movement is forward, not backward. It fundamentally cannot apply to what is presently happening to trans rights.

the thing about using "we're gonna trans your kids" as a conservative own is that the subtext is that kids being trans is still a bad thing

We must, if we want trans advocacy to work, want a trans advocacy that sees transition as a good thing in and of itself, that desires more trans people in the world. And we must demand this from our allies.

No, I don't think that "we do change sex" will magically fix everything currently wrong with trans advocacy and cis receptiveness to trans issues, but we do need a more affirmative articulation of trans existence than "Please Respect Our Right to Play Dress-Up" which is the current understanding.

I would like to talk about how trans people change sex and that much of the legislative onslaught against us seeks to prevent us from doing that without being accused of wanting to start Susan's Place 2.0 or round up non-binary people into camps, thank you for your attention to this matter.

Here's the fundamental thing: even many orgs advocating for us struggle to spotlight harm against us as an issue worth taking seriously. I'm sure it's a combination of voter apathy and organizer apathy towards us reinforcing each other, but the result is that harm against trans people never matters.

Jayapal has addressed the measure’s targeting of transgender kids directly in a video posted on social media. But No Hate in Washington State, the leading group opposing the measure, has gone further in recasting the fight: None of its digital ads even use the word “transgender.” Instead, they focus on how the sex-verification requirement could subject cisgender girls to invasive scrutiny.

“Although the opposition is really focused on trans kids, we’re focused on the impacts on all kids,” said Heather Weiner, the group’s spokesperson.

you are only allowed to post one "LMAO BOTTOM SURGERY FOR EVERYBODY" per congressional democrat you can get to say on the record publicly and unambiguously that they support young trans people's access to HRT and surgery and trans athletes' rights to play sports from kindergarten through pro leagues

as an Australian watching the midterm results roll in? this is my only reaction holy FUCK the scale of this wipeout this far is so fucking funny

a highly distorted laughing crying emoji. it sort of looks the way having a big laugh feels when you're tripping extremely hard on LSD

“I actually have a lot of privilege as an austist because I’m able to navigate social situations at work” <- woman who hasn’t been able to talk about how she really feels once in her whole life because “it wouldn’t be appropriate”

genuinely!!! US liberals will do anything to beat the far right except for literally anything that has ever worked or that ever will work to to beat the far right and frankly, the rest of the anglosphere too! UK? washed! so-called "australia"?? WASHED!!!!

Like I'm seeing USians talk about how we need to block out the far right like Brazil did while reblogging fucking Jamie Boule next post. The transphobe who works for the Nazi rag? Are we deadass?

It's better to go through a puberty that is wrong for you out of your own choice than to go through one that is wrong for you out of someone else's choice. One is a sexualised, traumatising invasion of bodily autonomy over a period of years and the other is an oopsie daisy.

i think it’s cute how, with only gentle prodding on my part, every single one of u who pretends ur only against trans rights out of concern for Good Electoral Strategy end up tipping ur hand to reveal that ur fucking bigoted creeps who hate trans ppl. it’s an unforced error but u can’t help urselves

kinda insane to still be doing the “ruining lives” routine about rape allegations when literally everyone knows that america is run by a network of sex predators who have decadent rape parties and yet they’re not prosecuted or run out of town and are still allowed to run everything
