Because they're petrified of trans people who've transitioned early and are 'undetectable". They want to make transition—if allowed at all—as arduous, painful, stigmatizing, and protracted as possible.

To their petty thinking, trans people represent an existential threat to patriarchal 'norms'.

Transgender People, “Gay Conversion,” and “Lesbian Extinction”: What the Data Show A couple days ago (on Christmas, actually), The Telegraph ran a piece with the provocative title: “Lesbians facing ‘extinction’ as…

since The Atlantic is apparently reviving the "a was a feminine gay child, but if I was a kid today they would have 'transed' me" trope, here's an essay I wrote back in 2020 explaining why this is not true & there is no evidence to support it: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...

If ANYONE had said to me when i was little that people transitioned I would have begged to do it. Our society does not want trans kids to even understand the horror they endure. this is also why the "egg prime directive" is bullshit. "People can be pressured to transition" is a fascist talking point

I don't think people's problem with, for example, the paper's decade-long crusade putting a big ol' target on trans people's backs can be accurately described as NYT doing "reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want."

every day i wake up and do my best to carve out moments of happiness with people who love me but it gets pretty fucking hard sometimes when in the back of my head it keeps sinking in that there is a nonzero and increasing chance ill end up tortured to death by the government within the next 4 years

Supporters of this illegal war are saying Donald Trump is a hero because Khamenei killed protesters and oppressed women and queer people and irony is just dead at this point.

i’m sorry that our misery at being removed from public existence is harshing your vibe

the open contempt some "allies" are expressing for the trans community saying "our fundamental rights and ability to live in society are not negotiable" just reveals they never saw us as actual people. just like conservatives they view us as objects meant to serve their political and sexual desires

everything is increasingly intolerable all the time.

every trans girl is fighting a secret fight that you can solve by giving her 20 thousand dollars

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

A screenshot from Twin Peaks. An FBI agent driving in a car is saying "Diane, 11:30am, February 24th. I'm entering the town of Twin Peaks" into a dictaphone.

Happy 'entering the town of Twin Peaks' day to those that celebrate 🥳

as we continue to celebrate 40 years of Zelda i’d like to say that i sincerely love the existence of the official timeline. Nintendo got backed into a corner by forum nerds and said “oh you want a real timeline? here’s some shit that’s way more stupid than you expected”

Every trans person who comes out in this climate is a living rebuttal to every headline that tries to erase them.

This is barbaric. There is no world where people don't die because of this policy. That's one of the many, many reasons the courts ordered these policies be changed in the first place after decades of refusal. But that's the point of this change, isn't it?

adhd is the most cringe shit bro wdym im sitting here staring at my laundry that ive already sorted and folded willing myself to take the five minutes to just put it away finish the task and my body's just like "no"

as someone whose pre-transition relationship didn’t last, my personal experience tells me that folks prior to transition often make compromises on our standards based on what we feel we deserve. some of us don’t even know what we want when we get into these relationships.

i hate how much of our lives we spend playing grabass with doctors and pharmacies just to get our fucking drugs. the drugs we always get, the drugs we need and use all the time. it's like every time you need a refill everyone involved is baffled by the concept of doing their jobs
