its so baffling when liberals lecture trans people who criticize transphobic democrats about how “democrats are the most pro-trans major political party in the world” like yeah they probably are, and do you know why that is? its bc we *do not elect democrats who run anti-trans election campaigns*

most sports are actually segregated by sex for the same reason chess is: the men who run the leagues, the athletic departments, and make up the playerbase are so virulently misogynist that there is no way for women to fairly compete. the whole thing is simply rigged in favor of men

The international chess Federation banned trans women from playing women's chess. CHESS. It's not about fairness. The fairness argument is intended to radicalize people into more violent forms of transphobia.

At the same time as there is a national debate on whether it’s fair for trans people to play sports we have utterly lost the argument as to whether a Black person with a front facing job is qualified & I can’t believe liberals who entertained both debates don’t see the common denominator here.

it would shock the average person how many anti-trans activists had a partner or child who came out as trans and, rather than being supportive, they obsessively worked to "purge" transness from their lives (as well as society)...

bloomfilters.neocities.org/journal/boys... relatedly is the thing
Q. You want to raise every boy as a girl?

Yes.
Q. Why?

A boy will learn to hate girls as long as he is raised in such a way where he is treated as better, and superior to, his girl peers, whenever he is cruel to girls. So, instead, we raise boys as girls.
Q. What if they say they are not a girl, and want to be acknowledged as a boy?

Then you know they are a boy, so you must make sure to understand them as a boy, and not a girl.
Q. What does it mean to be "raised as a girl"?

That's up for you to decide. The only difference is that you should not raise boys any differently than you raise girls, since you raise every boy as a girl.Q. Girls and boys are raised in specific ways for specific purposes, so it does not make sense to raise boys as girls.

If you raise every boy as a girl, then there is no being which is not raised as a girl, so anyone raised as a girl necessarily must learn to do anything and everything to grow up, without restrictions on tasks, labours, or interests.
Q. But boys and girls are different.

All two girls are different, and raising girls in one specific way destroys this individuality in favour of moulding girls to serve the same master. Still, the girls resist to live life on their own terms. If girls can be raised such that they know they can do anything they want, including not being girls, so too will boys raised as girls.
Q. Why not raise every girl as a boy?

Because if a girl does not exist among boys, then the girl is made.
Q. Why not raise girls and boys as themselves?

The self must be made in a world where girls and boys can first and foremost be themselves. One step towards this goal is to raise every boy as a girl.
Q. The way people raise girls is cruel, so why would you raise boys with that cruelty?

If you raise girls with cruelty, then you should stop being cruel to girls.

trans rights is actually the perfect issue to take a stand on precisely bc it is such a low salience issue. voters overwhelmingly lack strongly held opinions on this topic, which means by taking a stand on it you risk few if any winnable votes while showing voters that you have convictions

“the discrimination faced by this marginalized population is already so extreme that theyre effectively unable to access services the rest of us can get whenever we please, so would we really be harming anyone if we make that discrimination mandatory and universal by writing it into federal law?”

Schools are not a business and a student is not a customer and this is the framing that encapsulates everything wrong with higher education. The “solution” of running universities like businesses rather than a public good was always the problem.

I used to frame this as: If we could pass a constitutional amendment guaranteeing trans people access to comprehensive gender-affirming healthcare, the bathroom of their choice, etc., in exchange for us giving up sports, do you think the people who don't want trans people in sports would go for it?

People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

The progression of certain thinkers from denying the validity of trans people to denying the validity of disabilities is a nice illustration of the way in which transphobic habits of mind can quickly evolve into a kind of acquired sociopathy.

so infuriating that trans people worked for decades to get covered by anti-discrimination protections in blue states but when major medical institutions in blue states categorically refuse to give us medical care they freely offer to cis people, blue state AGs just refuse to enforce said statutes

Computers are not some unknowable force of nature or entity. They're products and extremely knowable. Treating them as this mystical new form of life is not just illiterate, it's a great way to normalize this attitude of not being able to hold the people who made them accountable for their actions.

Seth Moulton is going to eat shit today because he is out of touch with his electorate. He tried to make himself a national media figure by coming out against trans athletes in the midst of voters scrambling to handle the internal trans refugees moving to our state to flee red state anti-trans laws.

Frankly, I think not vaccinating your kids is a form of abuse. You're putting your need to feel smart above their health, their lives, and the lives of everyone they come into contact with. It's pathetic and reprehensible. Your kids are not property for you to play out your little fantasies with.
