My latest over on EITM - covering a cruel court ruling that's forcibly detransitioning trans Floridian inmates.

This doesn't just mean ceasing HRT - it also means forcing trans women to wear men's clothes and to shave their hair, a tactic used historically to dehumanize the marginalized.

Bans on transgender care for minors may complicate eating disorder treatment
For many trans people with eating disorders, gender-affirming care offers the best way to relieve the distress that drives them to starve themselves.

"Daughter" is uniquely charged language - both girl and child - implying a kind of double ownership.
Describing trans boys as "daughters" began with Jesse Singal's Atlantic piece. The misgendering headline was changed after an outcry.

Since then it has been relentlessly normalized, to the point where I feel like I'm alone standing for the right of trans boys not to be misgendered by news orgs.

THIS is what ‘institutional capture’ looks like!

THIS is what ‘systemic transphobia’ looks like!

It’s NOT a ‘conspiracy theory’ or ‘hyperbole’ it’s 💯 real, and also happening in politics, healthcare, and education sectors!

Who will the powerful bigots go after next? 😖

Welcome to basic statistical literacy for anti-trans dipshits!

We often get questions about the use of suicidality metrics over suicide. While this may seem confusing at first, the following fact may be enlightening:

Corpses can't tell you their gender identity, dipshit. The closet kills people.

If i had completed my attempt in 2015, no one would have known i was trans.
A trans person who attempts suicide but lives to transition can report suicidality. A trans person who completes suicide before transitioning will appear in statistics as cisgender. It's not that hard to understand.
