Good morning this just a fun reminder that "brain gender" is pseudoscience brain phrenology and that natural sciences (medicine) don't have any more of an understanding of sex and gender than social sciences (sociology) do.
The distinction between "hard" science and "soft" science is stupid and you should re-evaluate the ways in which you prioritize one over the other and why, especially if you consider yourself an activist! Examine your biases!!

gender is not self expression
gender is not an aesthetic
i’m not a man because it’s my “self expression”. i’m a man because i feel a disconnect from my sex that isn’t rooted in low self esteem.
edit: many misunderstand. the above statement is an innate disconnect, not a societal disconnect. note the difference.
bigender? you feel like a man and a woman? maybe that’s just attachment to attributes you connect to being a man/ woman in today’s society.
agender? maybe that’s because you’re unsatisfied with the societal attributes attached to being a man/woman.
genderfluid? you have (gasp) fluctuating day to day feelings???????
i’m up for self expression and choosing to be/ look how you want to. but my god that doesn’t make you trans. i mean like 99% of the time it’s literally temporary because your perception, interaction and opinion towards society changes over time.

Trans isn’t a Neurological disorder, transmeds are just neurotrenders :)
FUN FACT: Gender incongruence (or being trans) isn't a neurological disorder and transmeds are hypocrites who love being neurotrenders by falsely claiming they are neurologically disordered because the 70+ articles they source-dumped said so (the articles didn’t lol)
How to call out transmed lunacy: 
STEP 1: Inform them about the WHO’s ICD-11, the APA’s DSM-V, the WPATH’s Standards, and other equivalents like the APA (the psychological one) and the WMA’s consensus on dysphoria being a requirement (hint, they all ruled dysphoria ISN’T a requirement).
if not enough, 
STEP 2: Ask them if they paid top-dollar to get an MRI scan to “prove” their neurological illness. I GUARANTEE you they’ll say no cuz 
MRIs are Incredibly Expensive, and
Insurance companies ain’t gonna cover an MRI for some whiny transmed trying to prove that they are “trans-brained”.
MRI’s can’t find “brain transness” cus it doesn’t exist
Hospitals and clinics have to use MRI’s on people with, y’know, ACTUAL or POTENTIALLY REAL neurological problems!!
Have fun being hypocrites idk, keep that nonsense to urself lmao

The labels and pronouns that "non-binary" people promote have been used to discriminate against transgender, homosexual and gender non-conforming people for centuries. Labelling women as non-women and men as non-men based on superficial looks and behaviors is conservative sexism rebranded as a modern ideology. Normalizing these things has been increasing transphobia for the past decade, and has been detrimental to the minds of already confused young homosexual, gender non-conforming and actually transsexual teenagers.
It's time to move past it and embrace a mindset that respects women as fully woman and men as fully man regardless of how they enjoy presenting themselves, that takes being transgender seriously as something you're born as and not as something you can choose to (not) be, and that encourages a scientific, sensible approach to all things, not in the least to provide solid arguments for why transgender treatment options should be covered by insurance as medically necessary health care.

My opinion on the Inclusive period movement stuff
inclusive period stuff just makes me feel like we are being grouped in with women more, atleast when i see "female" on a tampon box i feel like i can escape this someday.
it's so dumb too,
pre-transition Trans guys are physsically female still, having periods is a biological thing, on that aspect you're still grouped in with women. it makes Sense to just say "women" instead of "afab", "vag havers", "People who bleed" or "People with uteruses"
Just dont make it normalized to group us in with women.
When someone Sees menstrual products they think of women, when someone Sees "People who menstruate" they are more aware of Trans men and that they are/were physsically women .
It normalizes us to be treated like women and make People be more aware of us, especially our biology. The more they're aware of that Trans men have/had female biology, the less they see us as actual men.

The insistence on only using the word transsexual or transgender in trans spaces is kind of stupid and indicative of the severe lack of understanding that permiates both transmedicalist and non-transmedicalist spaces. Both words are important terms that have distinct and useful meanings and should be acknowledged as such. Being transgender does not make you not transsexual and being transsexual does not make you not transgender. Which term is correct to use in any given instance depends on the context. If you're talking about social dysphoria, name and pronouns, clothing, speech patterns, et c., then it's probably going to make the most sense to say transgender. If you're talking about neurobiology, physical dysphoria, HRT, surgery, voice modification, et c., then transsexual makes the most sense. If you're unsure about which one to use in a given circumstance, "trans" is always an option.
As it stands the only thing I can usually tell from the use of these terms is whether or not the person speaking is a transmedicalist, which is useful but not in the way it should be.

When i was 14 and deeply into truscum ideology 🤮 and was super self hating and internally transphobic i was pre everything and I'd been out as a trans man for 3 years I saw a nonbinary person who used they/them but was on T and had top surgery I thought to myself "when I'm on T and have had top and bottom surgery and pass as male I think I'll be nonbinary" and I didn't see anything suspicious about that statement. Anyway 5 years later I'm on T and still 1000% planning on getting top surgery and bottom surgery (meta probably) and I identify as a nonbinary trans man like sometimes I'm a binary trans man and sometimes I'm agender it's like genderfluid but only between those two things bcs I'm like binary and nonbinary. But agender not in the sense of gender being a spectrum bcs I'm not closer to being a girl when I'm agender (in fact probably further from being a girl) I'm just. Nothing I have stepped off the spectrum I'm just me. I love the confidence T has given me to not be a 100% binary man all the time bcs sometimes I am just fully gender neutral. Anyway I predicted that lmao. If there are somehow still truscum in 2023 you probably will not like this post but booohoo

i’ll say this every single time i get the chance to:
there should be a distinction between transsex(uals) and transgenders due to the fundamental existence of sex dysphoria that separates these two
“innate vs extrinsic” should not be classified together and treated the same
thank you

Why Rebekah wrote that really transphobic blog post and how she changed her mind
Tumblr media
Rebekah Kohlhepp has written a very interesting blog post about realizing and doing something about ones own transphobia over at She Seeks Nonfiction.
Rebekah is a straight cisgender woman who reads and writes about social justice, atheism, religion, science history, and human evolution.
In the blog post she openly presents some of the transphobic stuff she wrote in the past and explains why it is cringe worthy.
The Blaire White Project
These days she sees heer admiration for transgender separatist and transmedicalist Blaire White as the clearest sign of her own transphobia. 
Rebekah writes:
If you don’t know her, Blaire White is basically what conservative (or “centrist”) cisgender people wish all trans people were. She passes, she’s pretty, she’s white, she thinks nonbinary people and their pronouns are invalid, and she loves to make fun of any trans person who she perceives as “weird.” She’s the transphobe’s trans.
I remember that virtually everything I said in that post [I wrote] was taken straight from Blaire’s ideas. I loved her videos. I trusted her because she was giving an Official Trans Opinion on Trans Issues and therefore could not be transphobic, or so I thought.
Rebekah found it hard to believe that J.K. Rowling was transphobic:
It seemed like Blaire White was the only person on the planet that saw this the way I did. She was the only one that knew Rowling and Forstater were not transphobic just for believing in immutable biological sex.
Discovering the true face of transphobia
What ultimately made Rebekah change her mind was an angry dismissal from Blaire White regarding vaccinations. Blaire showed her true hostile self and Rebekah was forced into some serious thinking.
Journeys away from harmful ideas or groups, which for me included a bigoted religion and colorblind racism as well as this transphobia, begin with less of an epiphany—”Blaire White is transphobic!”—as it did a snapping-out-of-it moment—”Blaire White is a pretty mean person and doesn’t care about the people who support her. What else does she have wrong?” It didn’t happen all at once, but when the floodgates opened, I could never see Blaire as an honest or kind person again.
That was when I started to really listen to more trans influencers, and to listen to my gut and educate myself when someone says something that feels wrong. I learned that I always need more than one perspective on every issue. 
I was able to appreciate and learn from other creator’s videos about why Blaire White does not and never has spoken for the trans community, finally seeing her clearly for who she was (and starting to feel very concerned regarding why Jaclyn Glenn was friends with her). 
As for J.K. Rowling, her transphobic vitriol and direct harm to the trans community has become more and more openly violent over time. Before long, it was pretty easy to see through the façade of “I just think sex is real.”
Gender is a colonialist construct
Gender is a colonialist construct, Rebekah now argues,  invented so that “men and women would be seen as eternally distinct, with men always in control”. To see gender identity only through a medicalist lens is to not see it, she continues, as “Humanity is not a science”.
To be trans is to listen to what your body and mind are telling you, to use what you know and feel to become your whole, true self. It is to know yourself, and to know your lived experience, better than anybody knows you. And it is to not listen to cis people like me who think we know better.
Indeed!
