Critics claim gender clinics are seeing an excess of trans boys. But new data suggest otherwise
Some claim โsocial contagionโ is driving teenagers who were assigned female at birth to identify as transgender and seek medical care.
I'm glad this specifically names and discusses the mechanisms of societal transmisogyny and harsh policing of transfemininity under patriarchy, which results in transfems staying closeted for longer. While the number of trans men and women are roughly equal, trans women tend to come out later.

BOP is a a it or a black box and it's hard to figure out why they do what they do but the appearance of this is absolutely fully corrupt. The appearance is convicted sex offenders get benefits for helping Trump's image problem. Verminous.

I'm beginning to think the only explanation for the incredible force and quantity of governmental transphobia around right now is that kid me was right: All boys do in fact want to be girls - and governments are concerned about the destabilizing effect of everyone realizing we're fucking cool.

Sign the Petition
Not in our name: Women in support of the trans+ community
The Starmer government wants to impose a toilet ban that will result in trans people being assaulted, r*ped and quite possibly murdered.
A group of cis women who oppose him using them as a justification for doing this have set up a petition โNot In Our Nameโ
Please sign and shareโฆ

One of the most disheartening things about trans advocacy is how little the people who claim to be on our side actually listen to us.
"trans-identifying", "biological sex", and a variety of other GC dogwhistles have become common parlance because people listen to our enemies, but not us.

If โchanging your sexโ were impossible, they wouldnโt need to ban it.

Whole ass nation states are attempting to confine trans people to the homeโpreventing us from using the toilet, playing sports or accessing medical care without exposure to violenceโon the basis that โchanging your sex is impossibleโ so if youโre saying that to trans people too, meet your allies.

i do not understand how sports bans became the moderate position except for a widespread concerted propaganda campaign by people with ties to the conversion therapy movement
and i do not understand how anyone who calls themselves an ally to the lgbtq+ movement can even flirt with that?

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

[CN: child abuse]
It should be a scandal that a group whose members happily talk about punishing their kids for being trans by destroying their things and contaminating their eye makeup with chili sauce has the ear of the Health Sec. But I guess abuse is okay if you do it to trans kids?
