“Fast tracking” is no more real than rapid onset gender dysphoria, or grooming, or whatever else is the cause du jour among terf bigots right at the moment. The average wait from first appointment to even getting on hormones in the UK is around 3 years.  And that’s for people who are of age.

Speaking as a trans person, you have to understand we get assaulted with questions phrased exactly like that from people with obvious agendas asked in even more obvious bad faith.

My entire life experience has taught me that willfully ignorant people won’t just learn even when spoon fed information. The original questions/points raised are very specifically common anti-trans talking points. Micro or macro aggressions are equally shitty, intended or not. 

I think the biggest challenge with that is that the bigoted people often will use the exact same language as reasonably ignorant people. And for many marginalized people, we’ve had our time and effort spent trying to teach, wasted by someone who just wanted to harass us. It’s really hard to explain the frustration.

I’m…

I’m glad you have room left to ignore the shittiness of a question and assume good intentions. Don’t call me dude, don’t tell me what to do, don’t be dismissive of me saying I’m simply perceiving something wrongly, you can go ahead and be a passive voice but I’ll have none of it.

I don’t see this as good faith asking nicely. If you had a child tell you they were trans, would you go straight to looking for a study that investigates nature vs nurture or, like the Godzilla in this clip, would you give them a hug and figure out how to be supportive instead of questioning their validity?

Willful ignorance and bad faith arguments aren’t worth my time. I’m not being mean, I’m simply not tolerating bullshit. If someone had a genuine interesting in learning something then there’s a whole interwebs full of information and don’t bring a loaded question with a raised eyebrow that supposes to invalidate trans…

I'd be interested to see this story you have of 7 year olds taking hormones. I mean it could happen but that sounds like it would be exceptional circumstances and something the anti trans community would likely peddle in order to spread disinformation

Never mind what would happen on the playground. Kids are assholes.

Nope, not going to chill when you’re using classic anti-trans talking points. If you’re actually curious why not spend a few seconds mashing keys and doing a web search?

Is that so hard to fucking search for yourself? Here’s an article, https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/01/young-trans-children-know-who-they-are/580366/

The first film made $814 million. The second made $654 million. Both are estimated to have cost $200 million to produce + marketing so they aren’t the money printing machines WB wants them to be. Throw in the Ezra Miller scandal and the JKR scandal and even if it just sheds another $100 million that’s starting to look…

They are obsessed with that weird bathroom issue too. And it makes no sense. Because, even if it were true that evil cis-men would lie about being transwomen in order to assault women (big “if”), how would their proposed rules prevent it? They insist that transmen would have to use women’s bathrooms. Wouldn’t the…

The martyrdom/persecution complex is huge part of TERF-dom. I’m sure Graham Linehan is off somewhere whining (while secretly being pleased) about finally being banned from Twitter for his transphobic douchebaggery.

I’m sure JKR feels she’s the victim here or a martyr, but I think this is what it’s going to take for her to have any consequence for what she says. I really do think that people dropping out of Fantastic Beasts would also force WB to make a more robust statement as well.

First they ban fecal matter and then it’s the Irish. It’s a slippery slope.

I should have known when the HP movies showed up on ABC Family that there was something amiss.

Because you’re an asshole who doesn’t give a shit about trans people?

I don’t think there’s any actual way to quantify that. How do you measure the pain and sense of betrayal that a trans Harry Potter fan feels knowing the author of the series hates them?
