With how much its been normalised in the media its only a matter of time before some well meaning lib thinks they can say that i changed my gender but not my sex and i will absolutely lose my shit and destroy this argument
I have met even well meaning nonbinary people who said things rooted in this idea to my face. The reification of ASAB as something you *are* not something that was *done to you* is way more common than you think, and is just terf logic
I guess I need to come to terms with the fact that no amount of this is going to discourage progressives and leftists from continuing to pour truckloads of free content into this guy's ad machine, but honestly, it never stops feeling bad

I wrote about Taylor Lorenz, ambulance chasing in the face of trans trauma, and why articles about dead trans kids should probably actually be about those dead trans kids. It's a lot to say but I might as well fucking say it all: jude-doyle.ghost.io/i-dont-care-...
I had the dehumanising experience of being at a restaurant overhearing the table of cis people next to me discuss trans people and how we're asking too much and their great ideas for how we should act if we want rights and i tell you what the last 24 hours on bluesky feel just like that
Your gay and trans friends and followers have noticed you giving each other backpats about how brave and necessary it is to speak to people who want them dead today :-)
It really is bizarre that international TERFs keep thinking Australia is a ripe target for their bullshit, considering we all collectively agreed to stop deadnaming Osher Gunsberg for much less important reasons without anyone batting an eyelid.
I went to the Bahamas and ate at a restaurant where the guy claimed "you know cheeseburger in paradise? This is the cheeseburger" was it true? Probably not, but it was a tasty burger
it's hard to feel bad about myself when I'm apparently better than all cis women at so many different things I've never tried - chess, rugby, cycling, swimming, surfing, even italian beauty pageants - who knew!
a thing i love very much about this website is seeing someone posting very earnestly or concernedly about something someone else "skeeted". impossible to take seriously
welcome all the new users! pull up a virtual chair and join the conversation! now here's a condescendingly obvious set of suggestions and also some rules i made up for using the site. the only point of this is to say im above you in the hierarchy. im your posting supervisor
can we all get together and agree with a way to do this that isn't like clocking her because i was in the board games shop today and this lovely trans woman was working there and we said NOTHING and we just stared at each other but friendly stares
