But what can I do β Dr Ruth Pearce
Posts about But what can I do written by Ruth
There are two things you can do right now to support young trans people in England.
1) Engage in political advocacy and community support. I've got *loads* of advice on this in my blog post and zine "But what can I do? How to fight the trans panic".

I think it's often overlooked that Skynet always loses. The whole time travel thing is a desperate gamble of a losing machine.

I like the joke, but choking does not require CPR and yes, I'm the millionth person to point that out and it's early in the morning so I am going to ask for understanding in this trying moment of yet another global crisis I'm living through

I beg to differ, it is very tasty and sounds like a pretty good regional dish. Almost Swiss.

Good thing that hormones literally change your biological sex, so even less of an argument to have it there.

Pan Tadeusz, a literary Polish classic that I absolutely despise due to the format (trzynastozgΕoskowiec). It is a pretty interesting story and is a huge classic. But the way it's presented makes me want to throw up the moment I start reading.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weβre doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

So you're proud of your discriminatory views and persecuting women in the name of women. Makes sense.

If you invoke libel like "biological sex", you do not. Its the same line of argumentation as "black people are more aggressive" or "Jews are innately better at money" - bigotry masquerading as legitimate concerns, concealing itself under a thin veneer of science. And thus you're treated as a bigot.

My human rights are not subject to "agree to disagree". That's the thing about human rights. You don't get to pick and choose where to support them, you either so or you don't.

If you don't support trans women, you're not supporting women at all, just looking for a rationale for your bigotry.

So now, once presented with evidence, you're moving the goalposts. So what is it, is there many studies or is there not?

You either have sources or not. There is no disagreeing here, unless you're some sort of anti-scientific zealot.

There is no biological advantage. If anything, transitioning puts you at a major disadvantage.

I mean, if you talked to me like that, If be glad, because finding feminine shoes when your foot is EU 46 is fucking tough.
That or you're announcing yourself as a Hound candidate, which, well.......
