SIGNAL BOOST for people living in INDIANA!
While not immediately affected with the news of ROE V. WADE, Indiana does experience health center deserts. These deserts prevent women and those who are pregnant from getting the proper healthcare they need. With the Supreme Court's drafts to overturn ROE, Indiana will follow after the 26 states that have anti-abortion laws planned.
I have resources down below to help find the best healthcare centers that provide abortions.
I also found an Indiana Abortion Fund that provides health and location information for abortion:
Resources:
Womens Resource Center Indiana
Planned Parenthood:
Chicago Fund:
Finally an infographic from Guttmacher Institute if this overturn is put into effect:

HELLOOO AGAIN! Ive been thinking abt this all day so I was wondering if had an opinion abt this? how do u feel abt cis men identifying as lesbians? /genq just wanted to hear what someone thought abt this
I've seen this asked a lot and it's also the point where some people start getting a bittt exclusionary (more so in a way they don't think deeper about it, because "how can a cis man experience queer attraction to women?" rather than something hateful)
for starters, "cis" is generally identifying with the gender assigned to you at birth (though im aware of intersex and detrans experiences that deviate from this). A person can both identify with their birth gender and other genders. a cis man can also be a trans woman. a cis woman can also be a trans man. obviously I'm talking about multigender people, and "cistrans" is a term for a reason
secondly, have you....EVER heard of a completely binary, cisgender man, seriously identifying with and feeling like he's a lesbian (no joke whatsoever) who 100% insists he's cis? there's definitely not a lot and not enough to raise a whole scandal about it
thirdly, many people have commented that they have heard of or they themselves felt connection to lesbian identity before realizing they were a trans woman. if a supposed cis man is seriously feeling like a lesbian.....then maybe that person is a trans woman? and we should give that person space to figure it out instead of getting mad about it?
and lastly, im not the type to throw a fit over someone identifying in good faith and certainly not in a way im probably never going to see. if a cis man actually feels as if he's a lesbian then I would just wish him luck in figuring things out for himself. it really doesn't affect me whatsoever, and drawing a hard line between "valid belonging trans women lesbians" and "invalid invading cis men lesbians" will never help anyone and from actual trans women I've seen say this, it just makes it harder for them to accept themselves and not feel like they're intruding on a space they don't belong in. just leave people with identities you don't understand alone
tldr; if a cis man seriously feels like a lesbian you should just wish him luck on his journey of self-discovery, and there's so few of them that it's pretty much a non-issue + multigender cistrans people exist

CIS PEOPLE CANNOT DECIDE THE PARAMETERS FOR SOMEONE TO BE TRANS OR NOT
I'M FUCKING TIRED OF A CIS COMING TO ME AND SAYING I'M NOT A MAN BECAUSE I HAVE LONG HAIR, BECAUSE I LIKE DRESSES OR HIGH HEELS
THIS IS MY FUCKING LIFE AND I WILL CHOOSE HOW TO LIVE IT, I WILL CHOOSE HOW I WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED, I HAVE CONTROL OVER MY LIFE, NOT YOU
After this scream I'm going to vent a little because even though I'm a hard rock to break, it doesn't mean that things don't affect me
If they don't hurt me anymore, it will be very difficult for you to hurt me, you know, especially about my trans experience. It's hard enough to offend me, so getting hurt is even harder
But it doesn't mean it doesn't affect me, and it affects and affects me, frustrating me, making me mad at a level where I often question how someone is so stupid
There's this woman (cis straight) and we were from a common group and we became friends, everything was fine, we had similar tastes, etc
But she did something that really irritated me, which was writing Mpreg, if you don't know why this is transphobic, etc. I genuinely don't feel like explaining now, but feel free to send me a message and I'll explain it better later and no, it's not necessarily forbidden to write Mpreg because of this, ok? It's more complicated than it looks
But I ignored it and like I said, mpreg is transphobic but being a writer or artist who uses it doesn't make you one, it's different, you know
But I started to notice the signs, one of the first was how she REFUSED to write trans men when it came to mpreg, she said she simply didn't like it and felt it wasn't her style, She also said that she would much rather have men giving birth through the ass than using a natural biological process that is men giving birth through a vagina
You may not see transphobia in this but it's fucking weird
And then I also started to realize that she was strangely obsessed with gay ships, to the level of just liking them and refusing to imagine them with women or accept other couples
It was also very strange that she EXCLUSIVELY liked gay couples, seriously, both the extreme of only liking LGBT couples and only liking straight couples is problematic, ok?
And now I found out that she also came up with this talk about Yamato being a woman, and I just started to get pissed off because it wasn't just like, oh that's my opinion, She spoke in a way that was like, this is a fucking truth and if you don't believe it, you're seeing something that isn't there
AND HOLY SHIT, WHAT IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WANTING TO DICTATE WHAT MAKES SOMEONE BE TRANS OR NOT???
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT A CHARACTER IS NOT TRANS WHEN YOU ARE A FUCKING CIS??? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE TRANS
And all her arguments were bullshit about Yamato only being inspired by Oden, what a holy shit it already happened, right, use a real argument, holy shit
I'm just fucking tired of people like this
People who aren't even trans thinking they know what it's like to be trans, who know how trans people manifest themselves and expose themselves
No, no, Yamato took showers with men because he likes Luffy, ahem, of course that was it
No, no, Yamato continued using male pronouns even after saying he no longer wanted to be Oden due to Oda's mistake, of course
No, no, Yamato being called son by Kaido himself which only shows that his father knew and supported, besides showing the rest of the world calling him daughter is not a parallel for trans people who are in the closet and can only come out to their parents and sometimes not even that, Of course not, Oda would never think of that pfft
I'm tired, tired of seeing stupid people, because seriously, a person is not stupid because they don't know something, a person is stupid because they refuse to learn something
And transphobes and homophobes are the stupidest people on the face of the earth because they will always refuse to learn
And besides being funny, it's kind of sad, because they never keep it to themselves, they always need to attack others to prove it
Well I never think anyone reads my huge posts but I like to vent on them because I like tumblr
So my dear trans colleague, don't be discouraged, don't be afraid, don't give up
Because you are a star that will still shine brightly in this sky and these idiots will be far below you, millions of light years away, seeing only an illusion of your light, because you will be so badass and so brilliant, that they won't be able to come close to admire your true light

Sort of connecting to the last answer we can say that oppression women face is solely based on their sex or its more nuanced you think? i ask cause I often hear trans people talk about how it’s the ”feminine looking” people who are oppressed so trans women are just as much as cis women (and trans men are excluded from it, here i also heard they find out how much harder it is to get by in society as a man opposed to being seen as a woman)
The nuance is in the fact that society did not arbitrarily decide that it dislikes femininity. The hatred of women (female people, the childbearing sex) came first, the hatred of things associated with us, people who look like us, and men who "lower themselves to our level" came later. And the fact that most misogynistic men didn't study the history of female oppression to find out why, exactly, they're supposed to hate us. A subconscious belief that women are less competent than men doesn't have to have anything to do with whether or not we have a uterus, even if that belief did originate from a society that's formed this association through pushing us into a role where we're really only considered to be well-suited for giving birth and raising children (as pushing us into that role leads to the only people who are capable of creating new life to do more of that, and that ultimately benefits men).
Then there's the matter of passing, how common it actually is (near 100% when you put in effort according to some of the trans community, absolute 0% according to some gendercrits, both groups are incredibly wrong), and how many parts of life are actually affected by that. I passed very consistently when I was trans and did find that I was treated a lot better when people thought I was male (which is what pushed me towards feminism in the first place). That absolutely gave me an advantage over more female looking women, but it would've done jack shit to improve my access to things like birth control and abortion (luckily not a lot of restrictions on those where I live). In fact some trans men find that they have less access than cis women do, because insurance won't cover it after having their gender marker changed. Passing trans men aren't generally at risk of being cat called but can end up in incredibly dangerous situations if they're arrested, even without getting their gender marker changed. It's complicated. Same thing goes for trans women. Both passing and non-passing trans women can be discriminated against, though for different reasons. There's aspects of growing up male that may benefit them even after they start passing (the ratio of trans to cis women in software comes to mind), and there's parts of female oppression that will never affect them like abortion bans. There's also parts of life where you don't need to pass at all to experience different treatment, ie signing a work email with a feminine vs masculine name will likely affect the way clients respond to you even if you don't remotely pass (which is interesting for me to think about as a detrans woman who still uses a masculine name).
So yes, there's a lot of nuance. And I do wish people would get better at dealing with that fact. It doesn't need to be a competition who suffers more, and we don't need to deny that trans women can be affected by misogyny in order to be able to acknowledge that it's still rooted in sex-based oppression.

Stop using the argument "Some Ciswomen can't get pregant"
As you can tell by the title this talking point really irriates me because this a topic that trans rights activist will use when ever people debate on what woman hood is. "People will say a woman is a person who is able to have periods, has the ability to carry life inside them" you know basic biology. Then TRA's come in and say "Well what about trans women are they not women because they can't give birth or some Cis women can't give birth and some don't have a uterus are they not women?" This talking point is not only annoying, repetive and stupid, but it is insulting, misogynstic and honestly abilest. I even made a whole thread on twitter about this. So here it is. I am gonna copy and paste it because in my thread I had some spelling mistakes and as we all know twitter doesn't have an edit button.
Using the argument “Some Cis women can’t get pregnant.” When talking about Trans women and women’s issues is always going to be a terrible argument because even a woman with a slim to none chance of getting pregnant still has a higher chance than a trans woman. You know why, because even women who were told that they could never get pregnant sometimes still can get pregnant. My teacher’s older sister had her tubes tied and she still was able to get pregnant. I also find this argument abliest and masculinizing. As if a woman's ability to get pregnant or not get pregnant makes them less of a woman. The ability to give birth or lack their of is solely a female issue. The fact of the matter is if you have a uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, even if they aren’t working the way should you still are going to have a higher chance of getting pregnant over a trans women because trans women do not have all of those things.
People will say that womanhood is umberalla term but then these are the same people who reduce womanhood down to stereotypes such as wearing feminine clothes, wearing make up and then proceed to call cis women jealous of trans women. This argument is also thrown at us when cis women actually bring up concerns about issues that soley affect us. However that is another rant for later and I just needed to get this off of my chest.

hi! me again! i understand that bi/pan people with a preference would never be considered lesbians but i had it presented to me as being like bisexual homoromantic which would be as valid as being ace and homoromantic right? and i don't understand how A's id could affect or imply anything about B's id? like the acknowledgment of demigirls doesn't affects girls being fully girls? as far as pronouns isn't the whole point that they ARE gendered, otherwise we would all just be they/them? (1/2)
non queer people very much understand pronouns to indicate gender. so why is language malleable when it comes to redefining gender and pronouns but not when it comes to using orientation labels differently? also i read that carrd and want to clarify i would never make the argument that trans people aren't "really" the gender they id as. also, i'm sorry for asking so much but i'm just trying to understand.
--
hi dear! for context (x) and please don’t apologize for asking questions! there are so many people who would rather shut down and not try to understand, i will always greatly appreciate people who are actively trying to learn
also sorry this got wAY too long lmao i have a lot of thoughts, apparently...
as for the way the term bi/pan lesbian was presented to you, that’s totally understandable! and again, per my lil caveat, the idea of expressing a difference in romantic and sexual attraction with a single term (like being bi/pansexual but lesbian in terms of romantic attraction) is totally chill but i think the part that starts to come into question is the large movement of people who were using bi/pan lesbian in the way i described in my other post (ie as a way to express that they are “lesbian but with some attraction to men, still”)
in terms of how person A identifies and how that affects person B, the point is less about an individual interaction - no, how a stranger chooses to identify themself does not directly affect my identity. to your notion of demigirls and the fact that they don’t negate the identity of women, that’s totally true! it’s not so much that a person’s identity negates another’s, more that the words a person uses to identify themself can affect others, because we tie certain terms with certain experiences. by a group of people commandeering terminology that already has an experience tied to it, the people who already use that terminology (because they have that experience) can start to feel as though their experience and identity are being called into question
okay, so if bi/pan lesbians become a standard terminology to describe ppl who would id as lesbians if not for some attraction to men, that could start to bring into question whether all or any lesbians could be attracted to men (as the person in the tweet mentioned). now (certain) men may start to believe that any person who ids as a lesbian might still be attracted to men, so these certain men may think that they have a chance with that lesbian even though the man ids as a man! this could lead to harassment, or the lesbian in question may already be prone to some internalized homophobia. now they’re starting to wonder if their attraction should include men because they id as a lesbian (and apparently, lesbian could include attraction to men), or if they’ve just been ‘confused’, as people may have told them before, and they start to doubt their own identity and whether ‘lesbian’ is the right reflection of their experiences (which it is, except that the term has been hijacked and presented as including experiences that actually belong in the bi/pan community)
and, once again, the way the terminology is structured (a ‘bi/pan lesbian’) seems to imply that the person in question doesn’t want to be attracted to men. if they did, why not use an umbrella term like bi or pan as their identity? the only distinguishing feature here is that one is inclusive while the other says ‘i’m attracted to women primarily and would like to identify as a lesbian, except for that pesky bit of me that’s attracted to men too...’ again, this is a harmful ideology to let grow, not only for those already identifying as bi/pan but for baby queers who may not fully understand their own identities yet! or for people outside the community who are trying to understand to the best of their abilities as allies!
to that end, it also propagates that harmful rhetoric of ‘oof, doesn’t it suck to be attracted to men lmao’ like MAN that’s really hurtful to guys??? and that rhetoric already exists. notions like this (where a wonderful umbrella term is turned into something that seeks to minimize attraction to men/male-aligned genders) can be so harmful not only to cis men and transmasc/trans men who are a part of the community but men outside the community as well
okay with regards to pronouns: i think this is where we start to get into the deconstruction of gender as a social construct. i feel like the most apt analogy here is the one i provided in the other post: names. names have, throughout history, been gendered (for the most part). sally was a girl, timmy was a boy. but we’ve started to deconstruct that as we’ve started to recognize that there are more than 2 genders (as a societal whole, i’m aware that this hasn’t been news in a while for people in the queer community). you have names like alex, sam, riley, names that you can’t look at and go ‘ah, they are [certain] gender!’ which is awesome for everyone! esp for people who are sensitive about their gender identity and for whom it is bothersome, upsetting, or even triggering to be misgendered!
pronouns are grammatically just a substitute for a noun, they take the place of the noun for the sake of ease of speech/writing. so the first question here is why, if we’ve extrapolated and separated the idea of someone’s name from their gender and acknowledged that the thing that we refer to them by is just...a noise they like, then why is it necessary for pronouns (another thing that is just a noise the person likes) to be inherently tied to a gender? a gender is a representation of an experience, but people who use the same pronouns may have nothing in common in terms of their gender experience!
now, you could argue that people who use they/them pronouns may be able to rally around a shared experience/frustration with getting others to use and accept those pronouns, but they likely aren’t all going to share a gender - maybe some are fem-aligned, or masc-aligned, or genderfluid or agender or any other gender on the massive spectrum of possible gender identities. but the way that they ask others to refer to themselves purely as an individual does not help give any insight into their experiences or community! 
you stated that ‘as far as pronouns isn't the whole point that they ARE gendered?’, so my question here is what purpose do pronouns actually serve? they allow you to refer to a person without using their name, right? so if we’re talking outside the world of grammar, i would argue that a person’s pronouns are an extension of their name: the purpose of a name and/or pronouns is to ensure that they make the user of said name/pronouns comfortable in their identity when being referred to. they are whatever gender they are (if any at all) - they may choose a name and pronouns to help them feel more comfortable in who they are. in fact, they may choose a name and pronouns that they didn’t use from birth simply because they do not feel comfortable with them for non-gender-related reasons, too!
and i can hear you thinking ‘okay, so why can’t we do that with labels like sexuality and just let people use whatever feels okay?’ and this is sort of the way i think about it: there are certain words we have defined with clarity in order to help us as a community understand ourselves and each other. we all agree that cis = you are the gender you were assigned at birth, trans = you are not the gender you were assigned at birth. lesbian means attraction to women/fem-aligned genders, ace means feeling no sexual attraction, bi and pan are siblings of each other that define attraction to all genders (which may or may not include preferences). male and female as genders have clear enough meanings that we use them in our other definitions, and nonbinary is a lovely catch-all umbrella that can encompass anything outside ‘male’ and ‘female’, even though there are also more specific identities that fall under that umbrella
(quick aside - fwiw i don’t think gender definitions are necessarily malleable in the same way pronoun ‘definitions’ are, i think there are gender experiences that we have not yet given formal terms to and that people may switch around between existing gender identifying terms as they look for ones that get close to their own and i think there’s still a question of what it even means to be a certain gender without reference to other genders, but as it stands, people who identify with certain gender terms do so because of a set of shared experiences that fall underneath that gender term)
what we have not done is defined an individual’s right to their experiences. if someone feels attraction to all genders with a preference for men, there’s a word to express that! if a person feels like they might shift between a variety of genders on a regular basis, there’s a word for that! if a person does not feel romantic attraction, there’s a word for that! and the reason we use these words with pre-defined definitions is so that we can identify people who share our experiences - if someone identifies as a lesbian, they can seek out other lesbians and know that they are among a group that understands what they have been through or are going through. if someone experiences attraction to all genders with a female/fem-aligned preference, they are likely not going to find a community that understands their experiences if they look for people who identify as lesbian
but if a person decides that hey, i feel most myself when people call me ‘emma’ even though that wasn’t my assigned birth name, that is when we step back and say ‘yes, that’s awesome! you do you!’ because there is no pre-defined definition of that name - yes, there’s a societal gender often associated with it, but it doesn’t provide anyone any benefit to assign a definition of an experience to that name. nobody is out there going ‘where are all the ‘emmas’, the ‘emmas’ understand my experience and i want to find them so that i can feel as though i’m part of the ‘emma’ community’
now, idk about you, but if i hear that someone uses she/her pronouns, that means....almost nothing to me, except that i know that they prefer those pronouns! in the same way that someone saying ‘oh, my name is emma’ means nothing to me except that their name is emma! whereas if someone says to me, ‘i’m asexual’, i know from their choice of identifier that they fall under the ace umbrella and awesome, this person might understand how i feel about certain subjects! (obviously ace is a huge spectrum in itself, but you get the idea)
in summary:
an orientation or a gender relates to an individual’s experiences, and the general definitions we have assigned to certain orientations and genders should remain somewhat clearly-defined in order to provide a sense of community for those that fall under the orientation/gender in question. that is not to say that new orientations/gender terms can’t arise to describe new experiences that do not already have a definition. the irritation with the ‘bi/pan lesbian’ discourse is that the experience described (attraction to all genders with fem-aligned preference) already has a defined term (bi or pan) that is contradictory to the term ‘lesbian’
the reason pronouns don’t need to fall under a clear definition is that they are not a signal to indicate a uniting experience - their purpose and function is equivalent to that of a name: it’s a way to refer to a person that makes that person feel comfortable, and it’s perfectly fine not to have a rigid definition for pronouns in the same way that you wouldn’t assign a name to have a rigid experience or definition associated with it
i know it’s a long read, but i hope that helps clarify my thoughts on the matter!

What is Transmedicalism?
● What is Transmedicalism?:
Here is a Transmedicalism flag made by @spill-the-gender-tea
■ Allow me to explain to the best of my ability. I have sources for everything I say. If you want to see them then, please send in an ask/anon.
○ Transmedicalism is the belief that you need some type of dysphoria, (social, gender, body, etc.), to be Transgender. This belief is backed up by studies, science, and statistics.
■ A Transmedicalist is someone who supports Transmedicalism. Transmed or Transmedic is short for Transmedicalist.
Tucutes' just call them "Truscum" or "Trumed"
:This is an explanation of Transmedicalism/Transmed beliefs below:
● What is Transgenderism/Dysphoria?:
○ Dysphoria is Neurological Mental Disorder/Illness that is defined as a disconnect, discomfort, or disstress with ones Assgined Gender At Birth, or AGAB. The severity of Dysphoria varies between person to person; It can range from very minor to very severe. Euphoria, (gender, social, body, etc.), is a side affect or result of Dysphoria. Dysphoria does not mean hating yourself or your body. You are required to be medically diagnosed with Dysphoria to be Transgender.
● Brain Sex/Gender?:
○ Brain sex/Gender is a neurological part of your brain, “brain sex”- sexual differences between men and women in the brain- definitely doesn’t extend to a length such as “lady brains like dresses and makeup, dude brains like sports and beer”, it’s more just a highly variable framework for how parts of the brain perceive itself and carry out certain tasks. Basically, gender roles are a social construct, but gender itself is neurological. When someone’s brain is disconnected from their assigned sex, that’s how we get gender dysphoria.
Gender isn't chromosomes, or genitalia. Brain Sex Studies have been known to prove this. There are only two brain sexes/genders and that is Male & Female.
● What is Gender Non-Conforming, or GNC?:
○ GNC, Is when someone, cis or trans, doesn't follow their socities "Gender Norms." Or Gender Roles. GNC is not a gender, but anyone can be GNC.
● Intersex people?:
○ Intersex people are not LGBT. Intersex is not a third sex, it is a sex disorder. If they are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender then, they are LGBT. If they are CisHet, then they aren't. Just like CisHet Ace/Aro people.
● LGBT?:
○ The full ancroym is LGBT. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender/Dysphoric. If you aren't at least one of these, then you are not LGBT.
● Cisgender & Heterosexual Asexual and/or Aromantic people, or CisHet Aces/Aros?:
○ CisHet Ace/Aro people are not inherently LGBT. Asexual isn't a sexuality. If you're Ace/Aro the only way you could be LGBT is if you're Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Dysphoric/Transgender.
● Non-Binary, or NB?:
○ Transmeds' beliefs or standings on the Non-Binary identity vary between person to person. Some are Anti-NB, Some are Pro-NB, and Some are just NB Skeptic/Neutral on the subject until more information or studies are found about it.
● Who can be a Transmedicalist?:
○ Anyone who believes in Transmedicalism. Cisgender and Transgender people. As long as you support Transmedicalism and Science, You can be one.
● Cisphobia? Transphobia?:
○ Transmedicalist don't support Transphobia or Cisphobia. Transmeds do not support the hate of all Cisgender and/or Transgender people. It's not Transphobic to be a Transmed. Most, if not all Transmeds hate Cisphobia and Transphobia. Transmeds defend and support all Cisgender and Real Transgender people.
● Sources?:
○ Most, if not all Transmedicalist have sources and citations for their beliefs. Most, if not all prove their beliefs. (If you want my sources just scroll through the blog or ask me for them.)
● MOGAI, or Marginalized Orientations, Gender Alignments and Intersex?:
○ Most, if not all, MOGAI people are Trans-Trenders. MOGAI is not LGBT. MOGAI is a separate community of people who use Tucute ideology to make up fake genders and sexualities. Most of these "genders and sexualities" are made, or "coined" based off of aesthetics, feelings, mental disorders/illnesses, kins, animals, objects, etc. The list goes on. These people should not be compared to, or considered the LGBT community because, the LGBT com. & the MOGAI com. are two completely separate communities. Don't confuse them.
● Trans-Trenders?:
○ A Trans-Trender, or Fake Transgender person is defined as a Cisgender person/Person without Dysphoria faking being Transgender because, they either;
1) Think it's cool, trendy, or will give them attention.
2) They were misinformed about what dysphoria/being Transgender, and GNC meant.
3) Or they took the MOGAI's fake "Genders and Sexualities" seriously and were misinformed by Tuctes/MOGAI.
■ These people are not Transgender, and shouldn't be put in the same catagory as real LGBT people. These people do not support the LGBT community nor are they a part of the LGBT community.
● Neo-Pronouns?:
○ Neo-Pronouns are not Real Pronouns. All Pronouns are gendered. There are only 3, singular use, pronouns; He, She, and They. He/Him Lesbian people & She/Her Gay people are not Valid or a Real thing; Males can not be Lesbians & Females can not be Gay, and the idea of He/Him Lesbians is Transphobic. It also erases the fact that real lesbians women used to have to say they were men to not be attacked or harassed. Gender Roles are a socail construct, But Gender is not; Gender is neurological.
● Tucutes?:
○ The polar opposite of a Transmedicalist.
○ Tucutes are people, mainly MOGAI (because most, if not all Tucutes hate Cisgender people), Who believe that you don't need some type or level of Dysphoria to be Transgender.
○ They believe that Euphoria isn't a part of Dysphoria.
○ They don't believe Trans-Trenders are not real, or a problem.
○ They think Dysphoria/being Transgender is a feeling.
○ Most make up their own "sexualities and genders" based off of feelings, objects, mental illnesses, stars, etc.
○ They view gender and gender roles as a socail construct.
○ They think pronouns aren't gendered.
○ Believe in, and use Neo-Pronouns.
○ Most, if not all are Trans-Trenders.
○ They believe GNC is a gender.
○ They support He/Him lesbians.
○ They keep expanding the LGBT community's acronym as if they can.
○ They think intersex people, and Cishet Aro/Ace are LGBT.
○ Most, if not all never have reliable sources, or citations to back their claims.
Etc.
These people are not Transmedicalist.

"The erasure of women"
youtube
I think this is a topic that a lot of people are really terrified to touch on especially if they both support women and trans people. Fact of the matter is actual trans people who have been diagnosed make up less than 2% of the entire world population. And while I don't think that that makes them less important than anyone else, I do believe that we are in the process of erasing many different languages and fundamental norms that adhere to most of society. The problem with language, is that it can't always be absolutely inclusive. Not only will it not be typically, but not often.
I've been watching people try to push this narrative that trans women are women. But I don't agree on principle. And the reason being is because the dictionary definition of what a woman is, is an adult human female. Female as described is a few things one is a living entity with XX chromosomes and the ability to give birth in almost all cases. Not counting rare cases and not counting abnormalities.
The bigger issue here is the NEED people seem to have to make biological sex "a social construct", which is as anti science as it gets. More over then that, I've seen people say there are no differences between biological men and women. Which if that's to be believed, then why does "trans" even exist? Look. I support trans people. And I'm no feminist. The issue is based on the video. At what point do we stop for a second and realize we are erasing 50% of the population, for maybe 2%. And more over why have we pushed to "normalize" it to the point that the therapy and hormones are no longer covered under insurance. The reason people say "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" is because smart people try to do things either for themselves or others, pass it off as a great idea, use sentiment to push for it, and no matter the outcome they end up happy because they can signal their "proper" virtue to everyone else. Even when their action (often) poorly affect those they were aiming to "help".
Fact is, gender dysphoria it's a mental illness. It's one that requires therapy often to get over. When neo progressives got the WHO to remove it as a mental illness because "as an illness it's sigmatized" it screwed over a lot of actual trans people. Not these trans tender lunatics. And now we are trying to erase women in sports and physical accomplishments. Honestly believing that doesn't make you a "terf". It makes you someone who is able to see issues with what's going on. Biological women have their own sports and unique physical competitions for a reason. And the biggest LIE told by most activists is, "all descent against ANYTHING I believe is transphobia". Which is false. Transphobia IS a hate of trans people. Criticism of a movement is not. And frankly? I've had it with people expanding definitions just to shut others up. It's disgusting.
Either way. You don't have to agree with me, but it doesn't make you right. This is a complicated issue and not one that's easy to solve. But if this is also it's own trolly problem. Do you sacrifice 5 people to save 1? Or do you sacrifice 1 to save 5? A sane person in 99/100 instances of that would sacrifice the one to save the 5. Radical activists? They'd sacrifice the 5. In no world should that be your default.
And before I get someone going, "oh well if the 5 people were Nazis-" That's clearly NOT what I'm saying. I mean, worse than that, I see a lot of people online dating crap like "I hate strait people" or "I hate cis people". So you hate over 98% of the WORLD POPULATION, in one instance and 88% (possibly more) in the other. And why? Because you or someone you know it's different? And what does that hate do? Oh I can tell you easy; it spreads hate. And more over you justify any hate you or others get by participating in it.
It's time we start being able to talk about this. It's time people stop getting shut down for just wanting a dialogue. Time to also stop just using "terf" and "transphobic" to halt people whom are concerned about stuff like women's sports. Or the people concerned about telling a 2y/o they are trans. THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY KNOW THAT! Honest to goodness? A lot of the modern trans activist community are honest to goodness misogynists. Some even self hating. This new Critical Theory shit needs to stop. Because I'm really done with this idea we have to fuck over and shame the vast majority of people for the sake of the very few. These assholes would sacrifice scientists who cure diseases, even one who cures cancer, mother's, father's, children, babies, just to save one trans person. I'm sorry but if that's how you think I'm not even sorry telling you to move to an island alone and get off my rock.
Biological women deserve to hold records for sports and physical activities. They also deserve to not get literally beaten in MMA, boxing, etc by a biological man 3 times their size who realized they were "trans" when they couldn't make the men's team, and now they will be popular and famous because they will have zero competition except for other trans women, and they will be applauded and awarded just for saying they are trans. "So brave, so bold, so amazing, and now a world record holder. Omg I'm so happy because biocidal women don't deserve medals or awards. They aren't special".
That's how you all fucking sound. And if you are trans and not like that, or an activist and not like that fine. This is directed at those who ARE like this. Of which there are PLENTY.
