Transition is a matter of free will and freedom. Trans people are going to do it anyway and you cannot stop them.
We are full human beings with the right to decide our lives for ourselves and no one has a right to stand in the way of that.

one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere
What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.
While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

It's fascinating watching intersectionality get mangled from "we need to talk about the issues faced by people who are marginalized in multiple ways, in particular Black women" to "any sufficiently marginalized man is basically a kind of woman"

we live in a time when a man who said that Black people and women shouldn't be allowed to vote, gays should be stoned to death, and trans people should be locked up gets praised as "doing things the right way" while trans people who were a little mean online in asking to be left alone "went too far"
The question I have Ezra Klein and other "we're in a state of political crisis and Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way" types is a simple one:
If he was, who wasn't?
If you're worried about democracy, and Charlie Kirk wasn't who you were worried about, who was? Specifically?

Yes it IS a problem that if men perceive they have insufficient power over women they are willing to toss the very concept of democratic society in a blender, but the solution to that problem isn't "more respectful pick-up lines"!!!!!!!!!!!

We are in the middle of historic rights rollbacks and ascendant patriarchal entitlement to women's reproductive and sexual labor, but the only way some people can even think about the problem is in terms of soothing and mollifying men for that entitlement instead of deconstructing it!!!!

what if men cared about the loss of our bodily autonomy, the abuse we face as a result of coerced economic dependence and the actual pandemic of femicidal violence we have to contend with, more than they cared about sexual access to our bodies

There is a lot of violence endemic to the endeavor of turning an effette, failure of a boy into a man, or punishing said failure if it doesn't take.
That's all I'll say for now.

One thing that happens any time this subject comes up is that you'll find people getting offended on behalf of trans women who haven't medically transitioned.
Notice how there is nothing that necessitates medical transition here. In fact, the mechanism that leads to this denial IS the closet.
