"we like young women because biologically, that means they're fertile"
then why do you find periods disgusting? those are the single most indicative sign of fertility. by that logic, you must be incredibly attracted to a women who speaks openly about her period, right?

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!!

Trans meds when you suggest that the trans experience doesn’t have to be all about pain and death and gloom

Somehow it's "Trans people don't need to transition in order to be trans and happy, fuck transmedicalism" until people want kids to wait until 18 for medical transition, then it's "Trans kids will literally kill themselves if you don't give them puberty blockers hormones and surgery immediately." "Wait no actually surgery for minors doesn't happen 🙊"

The "sysmed is a slur" discourse is absolutely a TERF tactic. That's not calling people who say this TERFs. It's just saying that they act like people who looked at the TERF playbook and how TERFs have tried to brand the word TERF as a slur and said "yeah, let's do that."
TERFs don't like being called TERFs, their preferred term is "gender critical" because it's totally meaningless on the surface and doesn't have the negative connotation that TERF has. It's the same tactic.
Similarly, certain Tumblr anti-endos have also realized that being "anti-[marginalized community]" isn't a good look either, and have tried rebranding by a number of different labels, then act mad at people when their syscourse labels aren't respected.
The most blatant of these that I've seen is "endo-critical," which... I'm not saying they specifically chose that label because it's almost identical to TERFs rebranding themselves as gender critical but even more blatant. (Like, even the TERFs are just self-aware enough to keep it a vague dog whistle because they realize that "transgender critical" wouldn't play well.) But I do find it notable how the two groups think exactly the same, right down to the specific labels they pick to distance themselves from descriptors they call a slur.
Anyway, whether it's intentional or not, anti-endo tactics often mirror those of TERFs, transmeds and queer exclusionists. I don’t think it's intentional. But I do think it's a result of anti-endos having the same types of thought processes and mentalities as these other groups.

love her analysis

(for everyone who doesn't know, the "lesbians" subreddit is a porn subreddit, so the lesbians made a second subreddit called "actuallesbians" to discuss issues that actually concern same-sex attracted women, and it was taken over by men (again))

WOHOOOO

"Women and non men." "Masculine trans men are under represented." "Trans women who don't pass are bad rep." "I'm tired of all these fem presenting nonbinary people making people think of enbies as women."
The truscum won didn't they.

i could go on for a very long time about how gatekeeping isn't evil like mainstream trans spaces have made it out to be. and it baffles me how the nondysphoric/inclus crowd can go around and say with full-chested confidence that the only thing that makes you trans is identifying as such.
for literally any other identity or subculture, something is required for you to be said identity. gay? you must like other men. lesbian? you must like other women. metalhead? you must listen to metal. words mean things, and to adapt yourself to a word when you do not fit its criteria is, essentially, lying. is it gatekeeping to have hard boundaries on what fits the criteria of trans? yes. but lots of gates exist for important reasons.

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.

Transmeds are the most stupid person I ever met, are you actually fucking kidding me. "you're not a trans person if you don't have dysphoria and doesn't want to do surgeries/HRT!!!" Like bro wtf that doesn't even make sense, you can be transgender if you don't have dysphoria, you don't have to hate your fucking body to be transgender, you just have to not identify with the gender you were given at birth + IS SUPER CLASSIST to say that "if you DON'T want surgeries/you don't have surgeries you aren't trans", some people don't have the money to do the surgery, SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE MONEY TO EAT, SOME PEOPLE ARE SCARED, SOME PEOPLE CAN'T DO SURGERIES BECAUSE OF THEIR HEALTH!!! maybe they want to do the surgery but they just can't, and they aren't less valid for not wanting to do that. you guys need to understand that being transmed (or truscum whatever the fuck you bitches call yourselves.) is so fucking close of being a terf and the "LGB without the T" .
Also I've seen many transmeds talking about MOGAI being invalid and all that discourse...you guys probably doesn't even search after saying. So MOGAI is basically the "+" in the LGBTQIA+ (like nonbinary, pansexual, polyam, demisexual and etc...)
I'm a trans guy btw.
(sorry if my English is bad, is not my first language.)

The "gender identity" language really was the wrong approach for explaining transsexualism and gender dysphoria. While it seemed like a sensible and simple way to try to explain things, using "I was born as X, but I identify as Y" is what opened up the gates to all the transphobic and non-sensical "non-binary" language we see today. Saying "I identify as X" relies on people's tolerance, not on logic, and it doesn't distance itself from such things as "Well I identify as a goat" and "Oh, so I can just choose to identify as a gender, then?"
The approach should be a medical one; scientific, rational, neutral. Transsexualism is neurological, something a person is simply born with. The simplified version would be that everyone's brain naturally has a gender, that which makes you feel like a man or a woman, and in transgender people, that gender developed in the opposite direction of the body's physical sex. That's the story that makes people go "Oh, that makes sense, then" and helps them understand why transgender people feel the way they do, that they're born that way and aren't mentally ill, and that they neurologically really are the gender they say they are. It garners both understanding and respect, when it's about acknowledging something real, and not just a request to "be nice".
It's too late to turn back the clock now, but I do believe it'll still be helpful moving forward to explain transsexualism with simplified versions of the science behind it, like this. Every single person I have given this explanation to (in real life, to people who aren't terminally online) has responded with some version of "Oh, I didn't know that, now it makes sense." Not only does it help them understand transgender people better instantly, they immediately draw the conclusion themselves, without me even needing to explain it, that this is distinct from the "non-binary" trend. The latter in particular is also very important; it helps redirect misplaced frustration with identity politics away from regular transgender people and back onto the ideology that is responsible for it.
