So by this metric, is Dorley Hall a Homestuck? It certainly is long and has definitely changed my personality

Ah, the cyclical 'transmedicalism' discourse. That time of month when someone who proudly identifies as a 'fagdyke' called someone who proudly identifies as a 'girltwink' a "binarist transmed TERF who deserves a brick to the face" because trans history is so routinely destroyed and forgotten.

v good thread to show to your cis people who don’t understand the kafkaesque web of insane bureaucratic nonsense that british trans people have been trapped in for decades
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

It's amazing how little it takes for liberals to abandon civil rights. Conservatives poured money into making trans people a culture war fixation and transphobia still isn't actually an electoral winner, but liberals are ecstatic to "make a tough sacrifice" and mulch us to run right and lose again.
Nice try, this person tried to delete their harmful post.

🧵 One of the big revolutions in the West, which has crept in almost unnoticed, is the decline in the stigma of identifying as LGBTQ. Year, after year the % of ppl who identify as LGBTQ increases. It is now a significant group. Ppl in their 40s, & above, are probably unaware of how much. [1]

The basic problem with LLM drafting is this: the skills you need to do it correctly are exactly the same skills you need to do it without the LLM.
The only way the LLM actually saves any labor is if you skip the needed fact checking and proofreading.

One of the most disheartening things about trans advocacy is how little the people who claim to be on our side actually listen to us.
"trans-identifying", "biological sex", and a variety of other GC dogwhistles have become common parlance because people listen to our enemies, but not us.

Whole ass nation states are attempting to confine trans people to the home—preventing us from using the toilet, playing sports or accessing medical care without exposure to violence—on the basis that “changing your sex is impossible” so if you’re saying that to trans people too, meet your allies.

"It is to interpret the law as written"
The people who wrote the law are still around and one of them explicitly said that when it was fucking written, it wasn't written with the Supreme Court's definition in mind, and explicitly included trans people.

This goes for trans people too
Sure, you can be "valid" choosing not to act on the need to self-actualize. You can be "valid" repressing yourself into a pit.
Is it "valid" to foist the easily foreseen consequences of that onto your own future self, and the people who care about you?

The issue with validity politics is that empty validation of every possible way to deal with your circumstances as a queer person erases the fact that repression and self denial are harmful, actually.
Is a gay man who cheats on his wife on the weekends after midnight "valid"? I think no actually

I have no words--I'm genuinely speechless, tbh. We're going to hit 300% of our goal with time to spare. This is going to help me, personally, be able to move countries with a bit of a cushion.
I'm speechless. I'm grateful. There's a lot of brilliant queer authors here who have some relief. Thanks<3

So ... this is what I was talking about with my thread the other week.
Some people have pointed out that this shouldn't be surprising--trans people and advocates who are fixated on respectability, on transitioning "the right way", usually end up buying into GC-ism and feeling like 'exceptions'.
