This is great but I would add a big reason GCs are stuck on gametes is they spent ages hopping from trait to trait ("it's genitals! No? Okay, XX/XY!! No? Okay it's...") and gametes are the square they were on when they found themselves at the end of the board without further spaces to retreat to.
I have a new essay coming out next week so stay tuned! since one of the ppl I critique in it is a hardcore "gamete truther", I figured I'd re-up this – discusses both the actual biology & the bonkers anti-trans talking point that's grown out of it (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...
Why Are “Gender Critical” Activists So Fond of Gametes?

It's so weird to me that they don't disagregate bi men and women from each other when the split along gender lines is so clear for every other subset.
Reminder that lesbians have a more positive view of trans people than trans people do

Some leaked (not verified) info on the puberty blocker trial linked here. In my own thread I will briefly highlight the two key measures they are prioritising. A short thread 1
A Substacker named Ben Ryan tweeted that "the long-awaited UK puberty blocker clinical trial protocol is out."
Shortly thereafter he deleted the post. I can't find a public version of the protocol but here's what I was able to salvage from the screenshot + post.

Also no one actually wants to think about gender as something imposed on you, as something that constrains and marks you and designates what kinds of labor can/should be extracted from you.
Doesn't help that reminding people about the hierarchy gender places you in is taken as oppressive.

not to like, import discourse from twitter, but this hits the nail on the fucking head what we refer to as "gender" is actually a whole bunch of different things that people keep conflating and any discourse that doesn't detail what aspect we're speaking about is destined to fail

i grew up in Alberta 💔 I always knew it as a stunningly beautiful landscape full of the friendliest people, ruled by a dynasty of corrupt conservatives. but it feels like they're entering a new stage toward fascism with recent actions like this bill & the crushing of the teachers' union
Alberta just introduced Bill 9, which exists for one and only one purpose: deleting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as it pertains to trans kids, denying them the right to life and stripping their healthcare away.
This is cruel, anti-democratic and anti-constitutional.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Maybe we can circle back around to how much 'masculinity is devalued in queer spaces' but I wish we had this much energy for bringing attention to transfemicide and forced marriage and the normalization of conversion therapy rhetoric in trans healthcare pipelines and parenting groups!

realizing you're queer after trying not to be for so long, because we live in a world that hates you for being queer, isn't just a messy process, it's a painful one. you will not be a perfect person, and sometimes not even a very good one. you will hurt feelings. break hearts. make bad calls.
