Ew. That’s a gross take (and specious logic).

The transphobes insist that the experience of someone who detransitions or does not transition is infinitely more important than the experience of any number of trans people.

Is this the same person who pops up on every NB celebrity to do this same thing? It’s funny... we have yet to find a celebrity “worthy"...

You’re right. I can’t speak personally, but there is certainly no denying the hardship trans people experience. It breaks the heart. I think I react the way I do, because I am truly shook up by the rift in the feminist world right now.  Bah, I dunno. Can I blame it on my pregnancy hormones?

I apologize. As you are the person that called them out, you are obviously a caring and thoughtful person. You are correct it was disingenuous. I obviously get upset when (I’m assuming it was a man) sling hateful murderous thoughts at women. I don’t want anyone to have violence hurled against them, trans, cis,…

It makes a little bit more sense (not a lot, a bit) when you think of TERFs as being grounded, ideologically speaking, in the female separatist movement. I had some personal experience with that when I was a master’s student and my best friend - a woman - would blithely assert from the other side of the restaurant…

I hadn’t considered that, and I’m sorry. Mea culpa.

The governor specifically referenced the medical community’s statement that the law would lead to an increased rate of suicide among trans kids.

He is a contrarian troll, a conservative masquerading as a ‘left leaning person’. The kind who, when they get any pushback on their unquestioned bigotry, throws up their hands and exclaims nothing they do is good enough, so they might as well be evil.

Oh my god, like, there’s so much in this post that... Like, please, do everyone a favor and don’t. If you’re not well versed in a topic, even if it bothers you, if you don’t understand how things affect the trans community, I have to ask that you inform yourself how much gender dysphoria and gender incongruence affect…

This person is pushing a right-wing anti-trans book to back up their “facts”, I think it’s safe to say that they’re either a TERF or an anti-trans conservative. I admit, the difference between those two is somewhat academic.

You’re citing a book whose subtitle is “The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters”, written by a “journalist” from The Federalist, as proof of your claims. Do you perhaps have some other literature by, say, James Dobson or Fred Phelps that also says the same thing?

No.

That’s some trans-panic horse crap. There’s not an “epidemic” of trans people, and even if the numbers are rising (which might be because it’s more socially acceptable, MAYBE), gender-affirming surgeries are not gonna be on the table for minors. The currently-accepted course of medical transition therapy for minors is…

Seriously? Going through this process isn’t some trend that kids (just girls? wtf) follow. It’s like that ridiculous argument that Rowling put out when she was trying to defend her TERF views. No one just goes to the doctor and in one shot gets these things.

1. people are more free to express their trans identity

You know what can have permanent psychological and physical consequences? Going through the wrong fucking puberty. Having access to puberty blockers would prevent that.

All that stuff was always horsecrap they spread around for the sole purpose of cloaking their true intentions. The only people who actually believe in it are credulous boobs and rubes.

That’s just the way a litigator would do it. Narrow it down so there’s no option for spin, and then watch them fall in the trap.  Well done.

It’s a photoshoot, Gina.  He’s giving us his Blue Steel.
