I often see cis people who struggle to imagine what it’s like being trans and here’s the trick:
Don’t imagine wanting to be a different gender. Imagine being unable to be the gender you already are.

Yes it is. The singular they and plural they have both co-existed side by side for centuries. The distinction is usually clear, and is very clear here from context clues.
They were either confused or they fumbled their own attempt at a dunk.

Imagine your gender, the one that already fits, being denied and doubted and questioned by those around you. Imagine being told that your gender, the one you know yourself to be, doesn’t even exist. Imagine being told you aren’t that gender, and you never could be.

Trans people don’t choose to be trans. We don’t choose to change genders. We choose to be honest. It’s the world around us that makes us trans, by slapping incorrect labels on us and expecting us to comply.

Transgender has always been something of a misnomer, because the vast majority of trans folk aren’t changing their genders. They’re just naming and claiming the gender they’ve always had.

That’s why the panic around “trans ideology” seems so bizarre to many of us. Trans ideology isn’t really a thing, but if it was, it wouldn’t be us trying to make you all switch. It would just be us trying to give everyone the freedom to be who they already are.

If you’re a cis woman, the difference between you and a trans woman is that your womanhood is mutually agreed upon by all those around you. If you’re a cis man, the difference between you and a trans man is that he has had to prove his manhood, to himself and to the world.

Before I transitioned, no one called me fat.
I didn’t gain more than 5kgs when I transitioned.
Now I get called fat, all the time - exclusively by TERFs online. Usually as a way to dismiss my womanhood.

The rules intended to stop trans women from competing have instead stopped a bunch of black women from competing. I feel like all the transphobes upset about fairness in women’s sports should be getting really angry about how unfair this is, but they’re weirdly quiet. 🤔
Namibia's Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi have been withdrawn from the 400m race at the Olympics by World Athletics.
They are said to not be eligible for female classification.
The same rules are affecting Caster Semenya, Francine Niyonsaba and Margaret Wambui.

Cis supremacy always leads to white supremacy because cis supremacy is rooted in colonial ideas about gender, ideas that were never built to include black people or black cultures. You can’t be anti-racist and transphobic, because transphobia always leads to racism.

ScoMo says the current hit to the economy and supply chain was "obvious" and "inevitable". If it was so obvious and inevitable, why was nothing done to prevent or mitigate the worst of it? An oncoming train is obvious and inevitable, doesn't mean you just let it hit you.

- “it’s only 2 weeks”

She’s quoting a discredited COVID denier, to support a policy banning puberty blockers for trans kids.
Puberty blockers that are somehow too new and unsafe to be given to trans kids, despite existing for 50 years and still being permitted for cis children
“Given paucity of evidence, the off-label use of drugs […] in gender dysphoria treatment largely means an unregulated live experiment on children.”
