PSA: You are not an ally if you think trans kids shouldn't transition medically.
artemis98.itch.io
Every trans adult was once a trans kid.

Hormone blockers are a compromise and merely a pause button. Let kids experience the same puberty as their peers.

The truly only irreversible thing is puberty.

The only motivation and point for stopping trans kids from accessing medical care is *cruelty*.

The pervasive patriarchal attitude that queer children must be surveilled, abused, and denied all autonomy in order to "correct" them into conforming with their assigned reproductive role is exactly what the GC movement, in manifestos like Shrier's "Irreversible Damage", is peddling.

Last week, as part of my charity work, I delivered a speech at a concert for TDoR and IDEVaWG. Here are my remarks.

I usually don't share things like these on here, but I think it's important to speak up.

1/
Good evening. My name is Zoe, and I'm a terrorist. Not really. The definition of "terrorism" is "the use of violence or the threat of violence against civilians in pursuit of a political or social goal," and while we want to change politics and society, we’ve never done anything like that. Sorry, but I needed a catchy phrase to open the conversation. To grab attention. But there's a grain of truth to it: because there are many people who call people like me terrorists. They say we're the ruin of the country. That it would be better if we didn't exist. Blaming an innocent minority as the perpetrator of all the ills that afflict society has always been a political tactic, especially on certain sides of the political spectrum, aimed at gaining consensus and strengthening one's own position. The story has always been this: you need a target. In 2015, in the United States, conservatives lost the battle against gay people following the Supreme Court ruling that made same-sex marriage legal nationwide. And it immediately became clear that the disasters conservatives feared—fire and brimstone raining from the sky, dogs and cats sleeping together—didn't materialize. So they changed their target. This shift in focus has been made deliberately and explicitly. There are documents published online by conservatives that outline how to do it: by pinning a whole host of wrongdoings on trans people. They talk about GENDER IDEOLOGY. They talk about PROTECTING WOMEN AND CHILDREN. They call us perverts. They call us mentally ill. They call us terrorists. I told you it's a way to grab attention, right? All this was done with the help of the Church, with a high prelate, perhaps the highest, who said that we have “a destructive potential equal to that of nuclear weapons.” It was done with the approval of a few millionaires, who, from the heights of their castles, spent billions on propaganda and financing lawsuits aimed at stripping trans people of the rights they have always had. It was done with the connivance and complicity of journalists. In September, a fascist was murdered in the United States. He was sitting in a university courtyard, making propaganda, and after spending his last words blaming trans people for the constant shootings in that country, he was shot. And on this subject, I'll read you the title of an article. Kirk's killer identified. FBI manhunt. Transgender slogan on rifle. Transgender slogans on rifle. Oh, that's no small thing. Of course, it wasn't true. It was a rumor spread by the right to discredit trans people, as they always do. But whoever wrote the article drank it up like a cold summer drink. And we're not talking about publications like LA VERITÀ or LIBERO or IL GIORNALE, which notoriously write things that would make Indro Montanelli turn in his grave. No. Do you know where the article I read you was published? La Repubblica. September 12, 2025, page eight. And you know what's worse? Once the transgender gun slogans were debunked, the denial wasn't published. Or rather, it was published, but dismissed with a hidden sentence in an article, not just in the headline like the news item itself. But in this case, perhaps it could be considered an honest mistake. In other cases, the bad faith is evident, and here we're talking about a tactic widely used by journalists to discredit trans people: they don't call us "people" but rather "activists." Because that reduces us to a political issue. Do you pee in a bathroom that someone thinks is wrong? You're an activist. Do you sue your employer for discrimination? You're an activist. Are you attacked by a man three times your size during a debate? You're an activist. Always an activist, never a victim. With these strategies and many others, they try to portray trans people as unreasonable, as bullies, as those who make absurd demands. As something new, appearing out of nowhere and seeking to upend society. But trans people have always been there and always will be. Do you know who Enheduanna is? Probably not, so I'll tell you: Enheduanna was a Sumerian princess, daughter of the ruler Sargon of Akkad, and a priestess of the goddess Inanna. She lived around 2300 BC. She is the oldest known female writer. And she was a trans woman. How do we know, you ask? Quickly: it is said that during a palace dispute, a rival priest pulled out a dagger, one of those used for the ritual castration of sacrificial rams, and threw it at Enheduanna's feet, saying, "This is the one you used on yourself, isn't it?" in mockery. But beyond proving that trans people have always existed, Enheduanna's story also demonstrates something else: since ancient times, from Enheduanna, to the myth of the seer Tiresias (transformed into a woman by the goddess Hera), to the Galli, Roman priests of the goddess Cybele who castrated themselves and dressed as women, to the medieval monks who wrote prayers to God to transform them into women, to the "two-spirit" people found among Native Americans, in most cultures, trans people have been considered bearers of a spark of divinity.

i saw the tv glow
3 panel comic, ink and colored pencil panel 1: a little trans girl who doesn't know she's a girl yet is standing in a hallway leading into a living room, where three older cis girls sit on a couch watching a glowing pink crt television. apart from the glow, all is shrouded in a blue darkness. caption: when i was very young, my older sister would have her friends over for slumber parties. they liked to watch sailor moon. i did, too, from behind the couch. panel 2: closeup on the tv displaying an image of a feminine figure glowing pink mid-transformation sequence caption: i loved seeing those brave, strong, beautiful girls fight evil. the magical girl transformations were my favorite part, but liking them made me feel ashamed and embarassed, and i didn't know why. it was a girls' show, and i wasn't a brave, strong, beautiful girl. panel 3: closeup on the girl's face, which is lit up in pink light. her hair is short and boyish. her pink-irised eyes are wide and streaming with dark blue tears. in the background, her head is surrounded by a glowing pink halo. in the foreground off to the side, there is a wall colored blue, white, and pink in roughly equal portions. on the wall is a lightswitch flipped to the off position. below, the first line of the caption is glowing pink. caption: i saw the tv glow and for a moment, the show seemed more real than real life.

Doctors, famous for having no problems giving trans people treatment
mitildide.bsky.social Merrytildide 🫎 @mitildide.bsky.social · 19d
It's very simple: you struggled to access your bodily autonomy, and eventually got it, and trans people did the same. Now you're using the arguments that were used to harm you, to harm others. That last part I cannot make sense of.
Screen Twitter Diana Alastair💚🤍💜 ⚢ ❌❌ @sappholives83 I have endometriosis, and I was denied a hysterectomy for over a decade because doctors claimed I’d regret losing my fertility. They stuck to that position for years, even though I told them over and over again that I have never wanted kids, and would be happy to adopt if by some freak occurrence I changed my mind. I was in my thirties before my doctor finally gave in — and my experience was fairly common, based on what other women with endo have told me. Meanwhile, the same doctors who will refuse to sterilize an adult woman, even to prevent her from suffering horribly every single month for years on end, somehow have no problem with giving children drugs that will render them sterile, destroy their sexual function, and lower their IQ by as much as 20 points if they don’t fit the societal stereotypes associated with their sex. As they say — make it make sense.

Curious.

Most of us regret not being able to transition before our bodies were wrecked by an inappropriate puberty, yet somehow you conclude that particular regret is not valid and deserving of consideration.
