If I was 13 years old again and knew I was trans and you offered me PBs as a "compromise" with no actual end goal in sight for what I really need: GAHT, how on earth would be put on PB for two years have any impact on my mental health in that situation?

This is an engineered outcome.

I am so livid

This is a travesty.

How on earth did this get ethics approval?

If they do go through all this rigamarole what do they get? Puberty blockers for two years, and no GAHT.

Basically they don't get to go on GAHT until they are 18 anyway.

This is torture.

4 frame comic. in the first frame, we see a candle; in the second, a trans flag ; in the third, birds flying off a tree near a house; in the fourth, someone blowing on a fire. text reads : november 20th is trans day of remembrance, during which we remember trans people who died in the past year due to transphobic violence. When I was younger, t.d.o.r. always galvanized me into working even harder towards dignity and justice for trans people. may each of the 281 names on this year's list - and the many more names that we don't know - ignite in our heart a relentless desire to keep dreaming.

A relentless desire to keep dreaming

I’m sick of writing about dead trans people | Xtra Magazine For 15 years, I hoped my words would change something. Now I’m grieving the world that could’ve been

I wrote about the exhaustion and dissonance of writing about TDOR for the past 15 years

I was straight before transition and straight afterwards.

It's just classic how can we frame being trans as morally wrong so we can feel okay about our bigotry.

I've only ever seen your pfp up until now. Glad to see you are a Chad in real life as well.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Keep them in their weird circle jerk, let them think they know what good policy is.

And then let's have an alternative opposition that actually has good policy and presses Labor on it.

You see more trans women in online spaces specifically because we have been forced out of every other venue.

We have to build our own networks online where the tools to build a platform are slightly more accessible than the ones held by traditional media gatekeepers.

It's fucking full blown INSANE that they are saying there's a 'trans fascist' bias WHEN THEY NEVER EVEN HAVE EVEN A SINGLE QUOTE FROM A TRANS PERSON.

SHOW ME A SINGLE ARTICLE THAT PLATFORMS A TRANS PERSON ON THE BBC.

like come the actual fuck on.

It's so fucked that people view trans people being murdered as just a 'fact of life'.

The sun sets in the east. And trans people get stabbed to death.

Should we make a society where people don't murder trans people?

Nay, let's just get rid of trans people instead.

"cancelled for our views on biological sex" is a code phrase that means "given extreme lenience for actual crimes while continuing to be treated as relevant experts despite our demonstrable lack of competence"

This is so cooked obviously but would they even be able to get it through? Like surely the fact that trans people's sex changes under federal law would clash with whatever they would want to do here right?

Ianal by any stretch of the imagination please lmk if I'm wildly wrong.

The rest of the world is completely appalled at this.

Authoritarian measure, that objectively does nothing to solve the problem you are saying it will.

AND using a dead child as a political football to guilt people into agreeing.

Brianna would be aghast at this policy.

Have some shame.

Thank you all, I'm all good now!

Just a great example of how trans women are resoundingly NOT 'male socialised'

I tell this story a bit, but for any cis person reading this:

My biological father locked me outside in the backyard overnight when I was 6 years old because I was too feminine and he wanted to toughen me up.

I clawed at the door until my fingers bled then fell asleep crying at the back door.

The implication here being that it she wasn't on social media she 'wouldnt have turned trans' thus wouldn't have been murdered. Beyond ghoulish honestly.

Just here to drop my told you fucking so for when the UK eventually apologies to trans people in 30 years.

Jesus Christ. Even with their clearly biased reporting it *still* paints the TERFs as unhinged.

Have any of the infamous TERFs ever come out and explicitly stated what the end goal is? Like where they would stop and say mission accomplished?

I remember studying history and having this feeling of: "how did this happen? We must be so much more enlightened now" and I realise that I was endlessly naive.

I cannot even comprehend any logic where this makes sense.

This is just complicating border control for no benefit. On-top of cruelty.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I say this a lot but like if I hit my 50s and become one of these women you all have permission to roast the shit out of me.

I'm getting like second hand cringe from this I actually can't.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here but I'm really starting to feel like "trans woman" is just the catch all term for bigots that tangentially includes trans men as well.

Like the "trans man gotcha" doesn't work because they don't want either of us in any bathrooms/sports.

"if I can't pronounce his name I can't vote for him it's as simple as that"

I have run out of air to sigh.

Yeah I'm very happy to be corrected on that. Yes it feels like it's useful in extremely niche applications and should basically be avoided outside of that.

I'm fully convinced this is a bot.

Yeah like I'm not intersex but my understanding is those terms were created for the intersex community for specific conversations relating to that experience.

Other people bringing it to trans people is just completely useless.

Amab tells you nothing about me, I no longer have any amab physiology

I feel like if I was a YouTuber half my videos would be me saying "lemme preface this explaining this side point" for 5 minutes before every single point I make. And obviously that would make for garbage videos.

Why does that make perfect sense
