Where I’m coming from, I guess, is we should of course do what we can to challenge this and other measures that would impinge on our bodily autonomy as trans people

At the same time, trying to find a way through and ways to be ok where worst case scenarios unfold is where my head is at, I think

Yes, this. I think we can stress the importance of well rounded gender services for kids and adults without focusing so much on suicidality in our advocacy for rights, including treatment.

That approach is now being used against us anyway and I think it’s one of the reasons we are where we are.

It’s 4 modest servings of trifle… 2 generous, 6 with ice cream and/or fruit salad.

And that is a 6 serving trifle AT MOST.

NO!! That is a $20 trifle AT MOST.

It’s so tricky because we don’t want to say we don’t need medical and bodily autonomy (though I’m of the opinion we shouldn’t have to NEED it to have a right to it) but we have to remain as strong as we can in ourselves in the face of oppression.

Same but also I think we need a movement centred on empowerment and trans identity and expression that is as impervious to political change as possible.

We need a culture, at least among ourselves, of self actualisation that doesn’t cleve to cisgender beauty standards and gender recognition.

Absolutely. And the importation of these cultural wars has to be entirely cynical, right?
