Georgulas took Luna to see a therapist, who diagnosed the child with gender dysphoria — a mismatch between the gender assigned at birth and the one they identified with. From there, the therapist laid out steps on how to make the child feel affirmed, like letting Luna paint their nails and putting them in a dress,…

The thing that really irks me (well, the whole thing irks me), is the “chemical castration” bullshit the Trumpettes and their ilk are throwing around. She’s all of seven years old, at least a good 4 years from the onset of puberty. I’m no expert in this, but my understanding is that she’d have the option of taking…

Or he lied to get out of serving.

You know that he must have back tracked on that, or claims to have converted himself to 100% straight. There's a lot to unpack with that guy and a steamer trunk full of self-loathing is part of it. 

There needs to be laws passed to prevent media from outright lying about the case. “Chemical Castration” was NEVER on the table, transition surgery was NEVER on the table, and is not even medically suggested at such a young age. 

This is gonna totally blow your mind: There is an entire field of psychology called child psychology. Children see psychologists all the time. Because children are people, and thus are susceptible to mental illness.

The silver lining is seeing conservative Texans coming out as being super supportive of a child being raised by a gay male parent.

That’s a good point. I mean, we’ve clearly arrived at the point where the right-wingers have mostly given up on legal actions against gay folks, and now trans folks are the new wedge, so it doesn’t really surprise me that all this horsecrap is happening. Still, here’s hoping that they lose this one too (and maybe a…

The sheer number of people saying “how DARE you chemically castrate this child—why not leave it at wearing dresses?” shows just how much of a role deliberate misinformation plays here (since that’s literally all the mom is doing). Alt right people lie about this shit on purpose because they care about winning the…

Conservatives want trans people to conform or die, and they’ve stopped bothering to pretend that they have a preference.

Conservatives just want to go back to a simpler time when men were men and sheep were scared.

Ughhhhh. Luna deserves better than this fund-raising circus. I don’t understand how Younger is considered a fit parent after all he’s alleged to have done.

These assholes, her dad included, would much rather she present as male up until a suicide at age 14, than let her live a healthy, happy life as female until a ripe old age. How can you talk to people like that? What could you say to make them change their mind?

Conservative: Think of the children!

...shes one of the most tone deaf artists out there. Just jumps on any and every cultural trend/thing she can hijack. Why is she saying this dumb archaic shit like every lesbian is just a scorned woman

Coming right after yesterday’s article about how TERFs are teaming up with white supremacists as well, this is a perfect example of how their efforts work. There were assholes on that thread complaining about how their efforts to strip trans people of their rights had lead to online threats against them, and claiming…

Whoa...

Can they be called something other than radfem? That name is too cool for them and I want it instead...maybe whitefems? Or wywymen? 

So a couple folks were assholes, and that’s justification for an international effort to strip them and anyone like them of their rights?

It’s because some OG feminist lit says that gender is entirely a social construct. If gender is only a social construct, then people who want to change genders are simply making a choice to invade the other gender’s space (which is socially defined by the oppression or privilege assigned from birth) rather than…
