This!!!

They'll simultaneously tell us we're not women, while also going into the misogyny playbook on how to attack women to attack us

"Would you vote for an anti-disability politician if it meant trans people got protection?"

My answer is still no because once we decide one group of people's rights don't matter, not only is that vile, evil, fascistic and genocidal towards that group, it won't end there

I had someone ask me the other day "would you not vote for an anti-trans politician if it meant disabled people got protection?" and my answer was no. Human rights aren't negotiable. Reverse that question and my answer is still no. No group is worth throwing under the bus, even to save another

This is why I refuse to vote for Labour. Failing on any one of those points means I won't vote for you, they fail on every single one of them and the things I also care about that I didn't list due to character limits like Israel/Gaza, gay rights, gender equality

Yes I purity test the fuck out of people I vote for. Do I expect perfection? No, but some things aren't negotiable. Human rights, the ability to afford to live, access to healthcare, these things are disqualifying if you disagree and think they are negotiable

I'm not a one issue person but some issues are completely disqualifying

Want to attack trans rights? Disqualified
Want to attack disabled people? Disqualified
Want to attack migrants or push racist agendas? Disqualified
Refusing to give workers rights? Disqualified

Did you know you can be a multiple issue person, but that some issues are completely disqualifying? Human rights are not up for debate and yes that's disqualifying if you want to be president and you don't agree with that

How strange

My estrogen level is like, a lot higher than it usually is, but I'm injecting the same amount

From 870p/mol last time to 1183p/mol this time
And I inject so there's no chance of a contamination

I dont think hes on BlueSky so I cant tag him but this dude seriously needs to be educated if hes going to debate about us to thousands of people a day

ParkergetaJob: Im sorry but no ones claiming anything different by biology by being trans. Its got nothing to do with biology

I'm begging cis white Liberals to listen to trans people or read the science and stop defending us on vibes. I'm not a "male woman" as this statement implies

I know the one Serena is on about - its not the Cass report as far as I know, its one that asked like, "do you ever feel sad?" And a yes would get marked as "PBs dont work"

This moment made me actually cheer 😊

If you know, you know

I've actually never had that one

I have had one link to a study that legitimises us thinking it said the opposite of what it actually said 😅

They really are the anti-vaxxers of sex and gender

They'll pretend the science is on their side while providing none, then when you prove to them that this isn't true by citing sources, all of a sudden the "experts are paid off"

Big trans at it again

Because how are you going to say all these barbaric things are their "culture" without implying their culture is inherently worse and playing into the "barbaric, savages" stereotype white supremacists throw out there?

Its not their fucking culture
Its a country run by psychopaths

This whole "its their culture" thing is such bullshit. Their culture isn't the systematic oppression of women and LGBTQ people, butchering journalists, modern day slavery and all this other stuff Saudi Arabia does

Its both infantalising to the people there, and its racist

"Butchering journalists with a chainsaw is just their culture" 🙃

Good, removing it was ableist as fuck. I'm slightly colourblind, shiny hunting became quite hard in Scarlet/Violet. I can't imagine trying to do it if you're more than "slightly" colourblind

They're being so silenced, the EHRC ignored 50 000 responses from trans people 🙃

Right? Its so stupid

Oh I don't debate these people anymore. Its a waste of time.

I just leave the studies and stuff in places where people can read it if they're genuinely interested and turn off the notifications

Well lets put it this way, I did biomedical science at university like 18 years ago, I needed the dumbed down explanation of how hormones change one's sex to understand it because the more complicated explanation went over my head

Unfortunately the current climate in culture gives people the impression that they need to have a view on everything. The phrase "I don't know enough on this to have an opinion" is looked down on. I've proved people wrong, they've admitted they were wrong but went back to their original thought

kermit the frog holds a glass of lipton tea Alt: kermit the frog holds a glass of lipton tea

There's also a reason a lot of TERFs have gone from "its basic biology" to "why does a 5 year old know more about biology than the experts?"

Then there is us, who, despite how hard these people will cope about it, do change our sex because that's literally how hormones work and how the human body works

There's a reason our side has decades of studies and the world's top medical researchers and they have a children's fantasy author

Yep. Even if we ignore trans people, cis women can be born with a penis, with XY chromosomes, with an SRY gene, without a uterus/vagina/womb, without the ability to get pregnant

Anyone who argues sex is binary, immutable and "not complicated" doesn't know WTF they're on about

Yeah, this is why they hate intersex people just as much as they hate us. They have to believe sex is this binary, immutable thing to strip our rights away and you guys existing proves their whole world view wrong, so they hate you for it unfortunately

Piers saying "biology isn't that complicated" shows how fucking stupid he is

"He deserves it for an agreement we haven't even seen take place yet" 🙃
