Mr. Singal is one of the better educated and honest reporters covering trans issue.

They literally want women in the men’s room getting raped and killed.

OR we could just... ya’know... not let her spew hate to begin with? That cool?

All I know is that there are discrete and clear medical markers of how transition has improved my health and life. Hard to argue with in actuality.

I really hope I’m not upsetting people who’ve had to move mountains to justify their basic existence to a needlessly hostile and hateful world with the sharing of my perspective.

The first part (“I don’t believe you can be a man born in a woman’s body or a woman born in a man’s body.”) yes I do. And I know many trans people do not agree with me. But as a person who believes that, and is cool with trans people, I’m pretty sure it can all work.

They look mostly cloth, right? Like bulky but not particularly heavy.

Aaaaand still dismissing Healing Crystals in this and every discourse for being a persistent shit

Serano is so great. Her work helped both me and my parents come to terms with some stuff!

I don’t always like her! She can have a been of an “edgelord” persona to her. Being in the Times was a serious mistake on her part. I still would prefer Serano!

Eh, not really. I am split on ALC but she is a smart and absolutely worthwhile thinker that if she doesn’t sell-out (which she may have already) could be important.

Hm. ALC seems to be scrubbing this from the internet.

You have a new avatar every few days! 🤣 I liked the helmet one!

The truth is that I am 5'6", thin, white and attractive.

You know, my life is pretty easy. Without huge amounts of dysphoria and mental illness I am happy and thriving for the first time... ever. I am like any other woman making her way through this world and the only times I ever get problems are when I am online.

The way we launch to apologize to each other and everyone else should be enough evidence that we’re women. The swap to people not taking me seriously was subtle but sharp.

One of the hardest parts of trans issues right now is that most people don’t have any experience with actual trans folks. The inherent issue with engaging with transphobia is that there is no rational baseline that society holds quite yet. They don’t picture trans women as being women, they picture trans women as…

Yeep. It has been back and forth over the last like decade. But I was really unhealthy when I was a boy. There is a history.

Who knows how the mystical forces of kinja work?

As someone who has interacted with TERFs a lot, the only way to address it is to dismiss it as the nonsense it is. Don’t try to compromise with them. They don’t care.
