people's evidence for "third gender" cultures is always just like "we badgered and humiliated this trans woman about her penis until she admitted to being 'biologically male'." therefore, they must be aware they're not REAL women. unlike those dirty delusional trannies we have here in Civilization
There's a demographic on this island whose name is their word for woman with a prefix that means "becoming," but also the first white guy to meet them, Count Racisto von Rapingham, said they were "hermaphrodites," so clearly it's woke and decolonial to continue calling them a "third gender" forever

You realise it is three years to the day that Brianna Ghey was murdered.
An innocent young girl killed because of transphobia and hate. What's changed in the three years since? Transphobes have upped their attacks. The government has increased discrimination.
It doesn't have to be like this.

since we're doing the "potential individual trans shooter = epidemic of transgender violence" discourse again, I will re-up this. while there is zero evidence for this correlation, when "rare" ppl engage in "rare" behaviors, we incorrectly presume there must be a connection

If you ever wanted to know if trans journalists are making a difference, despite all the odds, lack of resources and refusal of most outlets to platform us. It's all right here in this reply and the fact they felt the need to reply in the first place.

The New York Times wants to be able to lie about trans people and not face any pushback.
They will be remembered for what they have done and no amount of bullshit will wipe the blood from their hands.

The Times's coverage of Feb. 3 and 4 accurately reported the public statements of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Medical Association. Our reporting also accurately contextualized the shift from both of these organizations regarding gender-related surgical procedures.

Had a long discussion in class yesterday about how it’s not that kids don’t get confused about, say, trans people—but kids are confused about so many things all the time that they’re pretty comfortable with being confused and only having partial answers.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Well, that's the game, isn't it? Declare that things have gone too far before anyone faces any serious punishments and you might be able to foreclose on the possibiliy of people facing serious punishments
It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

So much mainstream reporting on Epstein focused on whether individuals have been "accused of wrongdoing" and very little on why all these celebs and politicians didn't have a problem hanging out with a known sexual abuser of children.

Yeah. When discussing powerful men and abuse, there are “underage women”. When it comes to trans women being bullied by bigots at work, there are “women and girls”.
Speaking of reality distortion fields, Evan Davis on #bbcpm a couple of days ago referred to a novel concept of "underage women." This from a BBC that has been cosying up to "women-and-girls" as long as this can be used for a conservative agenda such as portraying trans women as a threat. #r4today
Peter Mandelson's unreality field means that #r4today is reporting that he "believes he did nothing wrong", (rather than that he has *claimed* this belief, off the record at that)

Anti-trans sentiment in sport has always really been about misogyny (surprise!). The idea that even in athletic categories there can be no overlap between men & women.
Trans women or cis are attacked because they are simply not pretty enough to be in the women's category.

White supremacists and transphobes will choose to remain in a social circle brimming with pedophiles as long as there are no black and trans people in them. Youtubers chose this. Network anchors chose this. Presidents chose this. Happily. Willingly. Are STILL choosing it.
