One day I'm going to be sitting in the room as we talk about a royal inquiry because someone - or multiple someones - have had the worst happen to them because of the path we are going down and I WISH this was an exaggeration.
One of the keynotes at AusPATH was Rodney Croome, longtime lutruwita activist, who had a similar but more positive imagining: imagine, one day, a state apology for the harms trans and non-binary people have faced at their hand, for the generations of trauma inflicted on us

“This development overrides clinical judgment. It denies families a say in their own children’s healthcare, and it sets a dangerous precedent where politicians, not doctors, control treatment.
This ban will not protect young people — it will hurt many.”

Will we be having these conversations next year? The year after? Or will we, as a country, start acknowledging that we are on this slope and we must not participate in preemptive capitulation
If your choice is between an existential risk to your organisation, vs being a fascist collaborator, and you make the difficult choice to be a collaborator...
...then you are still a collaborator.

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.

I think a lot of trans people go way too easy on organisations that choose to be complicit in our oppression. I believe this is due to internalised transphobia. We often don't think we're important enough for other people to care about our safety, wellbeing, and equitable involvement in society.

I think it was @fiercemum.bsky.social who called the current anti-trans trend in health legislation and policy making "policy-based evidence making" and that phrase has been burnt into my retinas ever since because it's the most truthful thing maybe anyone has ever said
