Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).
This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5
Nonprofit βaffordable housingβ providers showing up to testify against Pause Eviction Saves Lives is just further highlighting the way in which nonprofits & foundations have completely failed to meet this moment. This is why we need actual social safety nets, not the Nonprofit Industrial Complex.
In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I donβt know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel
No one before Ben has ever considered that trans women might actually be effeminate gay boys. No one has ever suggested such a thing to us, repeatedly, in a bid to prevent us from transitioning, or developed entire typologies around the idea, or reinforced it in multiple academic fields!
Iβve been seeing people refer to the need to DIY hrt as a βriskβ and I just feel like weβre overstating the safety provide by transitioning with a doctor supervising. Like at least when I was diying, my doctor didnβt ignore my non transsexual health concerns in favor of negging me for my levels
thats some transphobic bullshit. sex can absolutely be changed, people do it all the time.
Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.
"i want to share my favorite quote of Mao Zedong to children of the world: 'The world is yours, as well as ours, but in the last analysis, it is yours. You young people, full of vigour and vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hope is placed on you'"
"to free children from ageism, it is inevitable that we destroy every aspect of this old world, be it the healthcare industry, education system, or car-centric urban design."
"ageism is omnipresent and omnipotent in literally every society, although it manifests it in different shapes."
"the oppressed in this structure have literally no agency, or akin to the slaves. the oppressors in this structure hold all the power and control the literal access to knowledge and even language itself, and the opprssed are yet to develop the skill to accurately describe it"
"it is something omnipotent and omnipresent, yet somehow remains invisible in our consciousness. it is the fundamental root where all other power structures stem ajd reproduce from. it is the only power structure that the oppressed will inevitably violently be made into the oppressors one day"
"the problem is, we are reaching something so fundamental that we are reaching the limitation of our words and episteme. it is a power structure that is fundamental to our society, and in fact, all societies, from the past to present to the foreseeable future."
"liberal flavored transphobia is still transphobia."
"isnβt it great that the liberal hegemony is working really hard to modernize this ancient social role to better accommodate this increasingly diverse world?"
"the life trajectory of trans children is being designed based on our value as thirdsexed sex objects, the ancient social role of trans people that widely exists in many cultures around the world."
"both liberals and conservatives agree with the premise of paternalism, that we must design the life trajectory for trans children. the only difference is the details. liberals advocate for a state-sanctioned heavily gatekept access to puberty blockers. conservatives advocate for trans genocide."
"there is not a single act that is more paternalistic than designing the life trajectory for an entire group of people, without consulting their opinion."
"the social ideology of puberty blockers is a reactionary ideology. it is fundamentally an ideology that reflects the deep desire to establish total control over trans children, to mold them based on the desire and needs of the liberal hegemony."
"to highlight the absurd nature of this, let me redesign the thought experiment: would a world where all children get on puberty blockers until 16 be desirable?
i think the only logical answer is no."
some quotes:
"the problem is, if we entirely center our critique of puberty blockers on how inaccessible it is, we will still fall into the logical trap set by pharmaceutical paternalism. that is, would a world where trans children can freely choose to get on puberty blockers until 16 be desirable?"

Trans girl irl
How shes drawn
There's this illustrator I hate who draws real flesh and blood trans influencers and musicians and ADDS clocky features so you can "tell" theyre different from "normal" woman
so much of the discourse about depictions of trans women could be sidestepped if u ppl just considered us fucking women lol
not to wade into the discourse but i do think it's interesting that there doesn't seem to be a similar pattern of drawing transmascs as overtly feminine. usually, from what i have seen, people just draw a man or masc person and then add top surgery scars or tape or something
Maybe should start calling TME produced transmisogynistic art "clockworks"
