“Erasure” is maybe not the right word for what is happening to trans men when a broad legal attack on reproductive freedom nakedly coincides and aligns itself with a loud and specific transphobic campaign against hrt access for young trans men.

I don’t want to be sanctimonious here but I would like to suggest that if you see an early transition trans person clearly having a breakdown, and acting out in public in ways that seem irrational, consider that they may need something other than being dragged by peers online

the wave of legislation about trans teens/adults accessing hrt is not erasure, it is a specific vocal attack which, like the abortion bans that a formal reversal of Roe will trigger, seeks to force people to bear children against their will in the interest of white supremacy

When I was working for queens library, I helped with the video call program that let kids and incarcerated parents talk from a screen in the library. We had to do paperwork and would see what people were in for. “Driving a commercial vehicle without a license” was one reason

As someone who has dated multiple guys 10-30 years older than me when I was ages 20-24, they do always have something going on that makes an autistic twink appealing as a romantic partner but imo that isn’t exactly the same thing as being a loser.

this goes for non trans people too. Just like, space and grace and extending the slightest compassion re what someone else might be experiencing. It doesn’t mean someone is right or well or fine, we can be frustrated with people when they’re in crisis. I frequently am.

men do get pregnant but they’re men many of these lawmakers would happily see dead alongside women . The issue isn’t the physical capacity of men; the issue is patriarchal bloodlust and desire for a police state regulating marginal bodies
If men got pregnant there would be walk in abortion clinics on every corner~ birth control would be sold in pharmacy dispensers, corporations would include pregnancy termination with their benefits, and every sizable company would have its own quality child care center.

Ok you guys yes transphobia can get directed at you too a la Mo in that one dykes to watch out for strip but when you say shit like this it moves a rhetorical line. If they managed to make it so transphobia only hurt trans people that would not be okay
This was a bathroom full of cisgender women, invaded by male police to take a cisgender woman out of the women’s bathroom because she wasn’t wearing womanly enough clothes.

1. Atlantic ran this article in 2016!! 2. Teens famously drink alcohol despite it not being legal 3. I got top surgery at 16 and it ruled, hi. The only people getting top surgery at 12 are cis boys with gynecomastia who usually r coerced by parents enforcing gender norms on them
"In the U.S., you must be 21 to buy alcohol in a bar. Can it really be taboo to say that 16 is too young for a mastectomy—or 14, or even 12? And yet somehow it is,"
