I realised I've never outright drawn this boundary, so to be clear: as a trans woman with fairly extreme views about how my liberation should be achieved, if someone thinks it's okay to sexually harass transphobes, I don't want to know or associate with that person in any way
"sexual harassment is okay if the woman is evil" why dont you just talk about how she's evil. why does the sex thing have to come up at all

i wonder why julian never tells cis men they need a good dicking or that they have to grow up and learn to have sex with men or that they're probably fantasizing about being gang-raped by men rn etc. there's so many transphobic and fascist men out there he could be saying this stuff to but he isn't

In this election, the people have two separate but equally important choices: a city they can afford or the billionaire-backed politics of the past.

this Brianna Wu shit reveals the extent to which people can’t tell someone who genuinely hates you and acts like that because of it, and a narcissist whose brain has melted into solipsistic slag that cannot even parse you with enough fidelity for it to be called hate. this is why politics is failing

A 60 year old couple with 85k income but not covered under an employer plan is, like... the Trumpiest demographic not explicitly filtered by race or education. Their annual ACA costs will go up $22.6k (!!!!) and I don't think anyone in the GOP is fully prepared for the realization to hit

these self-id'ed transsexuals are arguing that they are also a minority of a minority, and if their needs are not understood as distinct, such needs can be ignored. this has already impacted their lives. ffs i lived through an HRT ban! this isnt a hypothetical!

no one is saying trans people who dont need HRT are the ones responsible for this. these people are saying that their needs in particular are not the exact same, much like how julia serano (mind you, not a fan of mine) argued that transmisogyny is a unique bigotry against a minority of a minority.

i do not think they can be faulted for this. their specific human rights have been taken away, in part by conflating their needs with a larger group that doesnt share the same specific needs, by using that umbrella group as shield to justify an assault a smaller demographic under the same umbrella.

I don’t think most people on this new transsexual wave are going in with bad intentions. I think your read is correct.
I think people are broadly tired of endless arguments about validity and want to just say “We need HRT, let’s focus on that.” Regardless of what this op might say or such.

You didnt say that at first without qualifying it with passing & stealthing. You brought those concepts in, associated them with that identity. I don't think you're coherent in how you mediate identity and material existence but you feel free to impose your own straw readings on the words of others

I think trans people exist as human beings not as self declarations of ontological nature. "I identify as a roflcopter" is dehumanization not the ultimate expression of freedom. You are both denying reality to transness and imposing your own reading of reality on eg. identifying passing with cisness

I do not think that is true. I think you are collapsing down these words that are required to articulate our social relations into an inventory for self expression. It is alienating to call it identifying as cis because someone passes. You're conflating rights, self expression, and social intentions

the people killing us get to hate us directly, with our names, with our healthcare, with our faces. the people who "defend" us defend us in the abstract. they won't even name our human rights as our human rights proper—some insist on the same language the SCOTUS uses to say our medicine is optional!

literally people are mad about a definition of transmedicalism that has not existed for a decade if not longer. modern transmedicalism looks more like "you don't need hrt to be trans, thus you should only take it after making super sure with a therapist" or "Meyer-Powers Syndrome"

the actual rhetorical trap here is that a lot of very illiterate people have a mental model of "transsexual" that binds it directly to "transmedicalism" and its an emotional link, probably because someone once said they weren't really trans. thus if you so much as say the word you trigger blind rage
