...anyway "autogynephilia" is a zombie theory that Bailey will forever peddle despite the fact that it's been disproved by multiple research studies (see my reviews here):

Important to note; Japan has way stricter laws around laying people off. Actual protections from its government that force companies to do things like have execs take pay cuts before doing a mass layoff. The solution to this problem is not a “good” CEO. It’s systemic and complete reform.
I remember a time Nintendo leader Satoru Iwata took a paycut himself to prevent laying off developers. They really don't make the like they used to.
Layoffs begin at Xbox

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

As I've expressed to several allies (receptively): learning was appreciated 6 months ago, but at this point we need you to take us on faith and act.
You don't need to be perfect, say sorry and move past it. Just stop getting hung up on doing nothing wrong when you can do something right.

I made a new zine! It's full of advice on how allies can work alongside trans people to take action in the current moment, lovingly cut-and-pasted over the words of my enemies. Plus lots of nice pictures and memes.

Remember when Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris and he was like “fine…i will put baby in u” like that’s not the craziest fucking thing anyone has ever said
We don’t talk enough about how straight up creepy Elon is to women. Like, if you saw him in a bar you’d reflexively put your hand over your drink.
AOC says we should pass campaign finance reform so everyone can “stop being so scared of what a billionaire man child thinks”.
Elon responds with a picture he generated by asking Grok for “images of AOC as sexy Pepe”.
We’re reaching levels of divorced dad misogyny previously unknown to science

Also - please unpack statements like "NHS England more than doubled investment in gender dysphoria services".
They have increased the number of clinicians scrutinising each trans child from 2 to 5. A trans child is now grilled & intimidated by 5 professionals. This is where extra money is going.

Can someone please tell the Bureau not to use anti-trans propaganda like "gender-questioning young people".
Trans adolescents are being banned from puberty blockers. Trans children are being harmed.
Gender questioning children have never had access to medication in the UK.

Historical note: disingenuous calls for "compromise" were the bread and butter of homophobes during debates about same-sex marriage, military service, and adoption.
more generally, many cis ppl want trans ppl to "compromise" on virtually every trans-related issue. we have "gone too far" by simply existing & wanting to freely participate in society. to these ppl, "compromise" means us disappearing from society to some degree or other. fuck compromise.
What drives me nuts about the trans youth "debate" is how much of it consists of people who don't know anything demanding compromises that already exist.
