Someone on Grindr just looked at my profile, saw the word trans and assumed that means trans woman regardless of what else is there. They then demanded to see my cock and then when I expressed my dismay at their ignorance, threatened to kill me. They are one kilometre away.
A group of men at my work were talking about how I transitioned to look at penises in the work toilets. I mean naturally, cis men are so reluctant to show off their penises. Ring leader of this group very insistently held the door for me at work the other day. Smug look on his
the first person fails to realise, is that though I may have been anxious about people like him before coming out, now people like him only make me more determined and militant. Give it all you got boomer, I only feed on disgust.
better I am within myself. However, he cannot see beyond his prejudice. Later the same day, someone else at work stopped me to tell me how proud they were of their two trans nephews, who came out as children to their (various) supportive parents. This reduced me to tears. What

I was 41 when I came out. 42 when I started T. Let’s hear it for the late transitioners, the baby trans elders of our community! It is never too late and

It can take time, tears of joy and pain, small and big victories.
But you will get there, no matter how young or old you are 💜

I’m afraid of Liverpool Cops… not sure if you have heard much about British cops lately, they are very homo/transphobic… I reported him to Grindr and I have messaged

So cis people. Sorry sorry. Beef. Ok in the UK access to care is bottlenecked to the point where is pipe dream for many of us. Please stop asking about surgeries and attaching value judgements based on your cis normative idea of what my body should look like. I am what I am now.

You are confused, I am referring to me a trans man fucking cis men. As in being the top. It is rather striking how unintelligent bigots are.

@AvaTomboy
Oh yes they are and then they cum buckets all over my bed and say thank you daddy. But go ahead and be butt hurt that being a Terf is very unattractive.
Something shifted for me after the trans pride March in London this past year. I realised then that no matter how self important our bullies are and even if they do have powerful friends, there is nothing they can ever do to stop us. To that end, I would love it if 1/2

@JackieDP
Oh no! Share a sink, with a man? You poor thing, however will you survive. This completely excuses your bigotry as understandable. Now I understand why you have to make your entire online presence about hating trans women. Very proportionate.
It bears repeating. The guiding principle of the queer community has been that of including all who are pushed to the outside by heteronormativity. It is a tragic failure if we separate ourselves into tiny exclusive cliques. We thus dispel our own power. The power that won us

A foetus isn’t a life, it is a potential life, an egg a sperm, also not the same as a life. Leave other people’s wombs alone. Your ideology is dangerous. This child was not old enough to have this trauma visited on her and your responses are callous and twisted.
I wish I could have explain to people that trans mascs are super sexy and desirable actually 🥺 sometimes I just feel pretty overlooked like a penis is the be all and end all of what makes men desirable…
I want to be clear. I am entirely proud of who I am, still, being outed when not on my terms is not ok, will never be ok. That is a conversation for me to have in fact for me to initiate. If it occurs to you to out someone, just don’t.
@CarverEmily
So long as you were a supportive parent and not trying to control who they are, they would likely tell you. If you are bad parent who rejects them telling you, you may not know about it. Rejecting your kids’ identity is a form of child abuse.

Regardless of whether she gained prominence in the way in which she did, it is interesting to me that the GC attack her and ask her to be prostrate, but have no similar comment for Daniel Radcliffe.
@AriDrennen
@MrPostsGood
I get this all the time. These folks can conceive of exactly one kind of trans person. A binary trans woman. That is their default in every argument. They never want to talk about trans men because it punches holes in a lot of their arguments that we even exist.
@ejrosetta
Really not how that happened. We were pariahs and made illegal, we created our own spaces to survive. You just hate trans people so every thought you have casts us as the villain. It is sad.
@ContraPoints
I would argue that the majority of the prejudice I face as trans masc is still transphobia and misogyny, just a different intersection of it. People who hate me call me a mentally ill woman, because they hate women as well as trans people.
we could organise to ignore them, for a week a month, maybe forever. Just block on sight and forget about. They gain about all of their relevance and absolutely all of their currency from us. Without us, they are pathetic out of touch whiners. So, can we pick a cut off date?

Ah! Now the truth of the matter, you think what is considered healthy should be based on what you find attractive. Because you are sexist. Know what kind of men are sexist? Deeply insecure ones. She still wouldn’t look at you twice.
Male privilege isn’t an on/off switch. Any gender non-confirming AMAB person can tell you that it isn’t evenly awarded. Trans men may get afforded it sometimes, but we are in a position to see how fair weather the application of it is. At work, colleagues of mine started

Ya. Totally. Don’t know why more childrens authors don’t make their personal hate campaigns public all the time. Such a great way to use her fame! No. She is being horrible and deserves calling out, she is also responsible for her mob that come for us constantly. No.
According to Matt Walsh a woman is a person who cannot open a pickle jar. That is your great thought leader who has you all so thoughtful on trans rights. You are by far the most dumbed down conservatives of my life. I am worried for you.
So if you are Cis and suddenly feel inclined to chime in. Don’t. Sit down. Retweet a trans account instead. We need our voices lifted in this debate about us. We are being talked over all over the place and even the best meaning allies cannot speak for us as well as we do for us.
Ok if you are cis het. I’m sorry. Obvs you do it better than this. In my Airbnb cishet couple got home drunk, 11:57 girl moaning sounds 11:59 bed shaking sounds. 00:00 silence. I am so sorry. I’m sure this is not you.
I grew up identifying myself as a feminist since elementary school. As a trans person I had a sort of hyper awareness of how boys and girls were treated differently and I saw it as oppressive. That there are a group of people now who have taken to polluting that language, 1/2
@LaurenGNC_Butch
That does not correspond with my 41 years of using women’s toilets. I had my genitals inspected as a child. You might think everyone is apologetic, I was challenged many times no one ever apologised. This simply isn’t true.
I had a chest dysphoria themed nightmare last night. Lately I can't seem to shake it. A few months ago I wrote an album in the hopes of using it to drive fund raising to get top surgery sooner rather than maybe never on the NHS.
@TheLeftistCook
Because they are fascists shills for the patriarchy is the short answer. More philosophically, modern ennui and the disappearance of hope has caused people to grasp for causes, some people with a lack of empathy and synthesis skills have been led down a Nazi rabbit hole.
@BridgefordMark
Do you think after four years of daily abuse and dehumanisation that I care that it is childish to say of her exactly what she says of us each day? This is not a reflection of my opinion, it is a condemnation of her idiocy.
This week I passed my two years anniversary since starting T. Because of the pandemic and an interruption to my supply, I have been on hormones for 22 months of those two years. Shout out to my mate Lee, for starting me out. Let’s keep fighting to reform the GIC.
#BiVisibilityDay
wasn’t a direct line, took years to shake off the mantle of Bi phobia to be willing to be out and proud. Here’s to the bi siblings out there. Love 💕
With regards to the young person advising folks not to transition past 21. I understand that societal pressure on women are extreme and dehumanising. It is never too late to transition and there isn’t one way to be a woman. Be yourself, that is beautiful. Trans is beautiful.
I love trans people so much 😭😭😭 I am so grateful that I have come to this weird non-place and connected with you all here and fallen head over heels in love. You are all so so beautiful. This community is so full of life. 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
GC grift: pretending that most LGB people aren’t with the T. Pretending they speak for a significant proportion of women. It is all gaslighting. Boots on the ground vast majority of either do not want to be spoken for by this group. They embarrass themselves with their ignorance.
@WesleyAntonyD
There is no comparison between Katy on a night out minding her own evening when someone intruded on her to make her a stand in for his hatred of trans people, KJK travelled to Antipodea just to be hateful to trans people and hang out with Nazis. She deserved it.
Gender Critics present an existential threat to me. I think we should limit their access to medicine and public spaces. It would make young trans people much safer. They should use their own toilets at home and be home schooled and work from home. Then I would feel better.
@Trans_Milk
@CaelKeegan
There is an insidiousness about the extreme misogyny levelled by cis women at trans men, because having grown up with designs on their bodily autonomy they look upon us possessively as if we owe ourselves to them.
Co-opting it for hate, is an absolute outrage. I wish more cis people who are feminists would be outraged at the way the concepts are being twisted by so called Gender Critics in service of their hatred. As a feminist, I find it deeply abhorrent. 2/2
@OmariJHardy
I was subjected to a genital inspection age 6 whilst trying to use the toilet at school. I still carry the trauma of that event now. The shame kept me silent on it for years. This is child abuse they are proposing.

@brynismyname
helped me take some glamour shots. SO! Suit update, I took on board what people had to say about my first suit, how do we feel about this one? Am I learning?
Your transphobia isn’t new or interesting. I had heard it all before I ever came out. And I came out anyway, because continuing to live a lie was killing me. Now it is you who is trying to kill me. The entire problem, is you.

@jk_rowling
Except it is the reverse of that. Do you not recall only a few weeks ago Posie Parker attacking BLM protestors in London? Some one needs to do their research.
@ReallyHotBitch
What bothers me is that just like ‘lesbian porn’ the majority is just centred around cis male desire and we are really only depicted nominally. Pictured, but not represented.
Though only cracked and out as trans for 1 1/2 years, I first came into the queer scene as a teenager. Growing up as I did in Toronto, the queer scene was vibrant and diverse and outspoken. There was a cardinal rule, the rule was acceptance, take people as they are. 1/4
The gall of BBC to ‘take a stand against transphobia’ with relation to Laurel Hubbard. Where, may I ask, have you been for British Trans folx for the last several years? Shame.
Dear the GIC,
There is nothing wrong with me I am just Trans. It is part of the regular spectrum of human identity has been noted as such for millennia. I don’t need treatment, I need gender affirming care. Now pull your finger out. Oh and if I here of you deadnaming and
I hate how when someone misgenders you and gets corrected, they get all sheepish like you are making them uncomfortable. F**k you, you’re the one making my working environment hostile, do better and put your dirty looks away.
Of Eddie Izzard’s comments about she who will not be named. They are the opinions of one quite privileged trans person. I value Eddie’s representation as we are so thin on the ground in this respect, doesn’t make her word gospel in any respect.
That’s it! I’m sitting on the plane. There have been ups and downs, there have been loves and heartbreaks and it all boils down to this. I am very much the person I am today shaped by this experience of one third of my life here. Goodbye and thank you to my friends. I love you.
