As an intersex person, this is absolutely the core issue. NOT having our bodies changed without our consent, and having autonomy to repair the damage done to us against our will are so tangled up in trans rights that they literally make exceptions for the things done to us in anti trans bills.

2 panel comic

Panel 1 is titled “Journalist logs into Twitter”
Image shows a Pink Guy performing a high jump. He easily sails over a tall barrier that says “Racism, Nazis, Homophobia, CSAM and Bigotry”. He smiles and waves at the reader.

Panel 2 is titled “Journalist logs into BlueSky”
The Pink Guy is doing the high jump again, however, this time, a much smaller barrier just says “Smugness”. The Pink Guy is clinging to the barrier, trying to hook his leg over it. He yells “Hnnngh I CAN’T GET OVER IT”

Follow these quotes down to the original. The audacity of people thinking these kinds of questions are ok! I have some privilege in that I usually don't need to mention I'm intersex, but when it comes up, my goodness, it's no better. 1/

It's not uncommon to be intersex and as an adult have a different gender than the one you were raised as. Many if us don't find out until puberty, or later, even when our parents or Drs know, because they've deliberately kept it from us. 1/

A parent complained that an intersex teacher was trans. The superintendent then ordered his termination based on his sex recorded at birth. Since he was in his new hire probationary period they gave no reason but his reviews were “exemplary” and he was told termination was not based on performance.

JUST IN: Former "Broadview Six" defendants seek special counsel to investigate, and possibly prosecute, Chicago U.S. Attorney's Office officials for criminal contempt. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/ca/86/6e85af...
DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DESIGNATE A SPECIAL COUNSEL TO INVESTIGATE AND, IF WARRANTED BY THE FACTS, PROSECUTE RESPONSIBLE PERSONS FOR CRIMINAL CONTEMPT
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 42, Defendants Michael Rabbitt, Katherine Marie Abughazaleh, Andre Martin, Brian Straw and Catherine Sharp (“Defendants”), by and through undersigned counsel, respectfully request this Court appoint special counsel to investigate the misconduct of certain individuals from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois and, if the evidence supports it, prosecute such individuals for criminal contempt. Those who should be investigated for their conduct during the grand jury proceedings and the ensuing cover-up before this Court begin with the line Assistant United States Attorneys assigned to prosecute this case and further includes unidentified supervisory and advisory employees of the United States Attorney’s Office, and the Front Office, which includes Andrew Boutros, the United States Attorney as well as his supervisors in Washington, D.C.Indeed, these steps must be taken in large part because of what appears to be a determined effort to blame a single prosecutor when the misconduct now known – particularly in this case – runs much deeper and indeed to the highest levels of the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office and likely to the Department of Justice in Washington D.C.1 To not appoint a special prosecutor here would enable the government’s strategy to lay all that has happened on a single scapegoat, a convenient outcome for those who are eager to turn the page. The Court has the authority, and we think the obligation, to ensure that those responsible for this unique and sorry chapter—a chapter which has dramatically impacted the lives of multiple Defendants and enduringly sullied the reputation of the U.S. Attorney’s Office earned over decades— are held to account.

Saw a tiktok by a TERF (stitched) saying if trans women were women how come they're never known for fighting for women's rights, and I immediately thought about how they harassed Mridul Wadhwa for helping rape and DV survivors and Steph Richard's for advocating for women with endo.

I AM intersex, and talk like he made is disgusting. I'm not some abnormal, broken thing. I'm a human being. I do have some differences, but if it wasn't for willful ignorance, and the obsession a certain group has with other peoples' genitals, I'd probably lead a fairly unremarkable life!

The 'panic' around Lia Thomas was about creating a target people could point at while demanding exclusion. So much of what people “know” about Lia comes from manufactured outrage and years of misinformation repeated without context. We commissioned this comic to break down the actual story. 1/2
Cartoon of Lia Thomas with purple hair, smiling and holding a trophy, making a peace sign. Background features a trans flag and text about sports inclusivity.A swimmer in the water with text overlay: "Lia's college swimming career began in 2017. Aged 18, she joined the University of Pennsylvania men's swimming team. Like most young athletes, her performances improved with age and experience."Swimmer's in the water with text overlay: "Her overall best US ranking in the men's competition was 11th after placing 1st and 2nd in several events, including the 200 and 500 yard freestyle between 2017 and 2019."A swimmer looking at the water in a red swimming costume and bathing cap, with a text overlay: "In 2019 she started HRT as part of her transition. Her performances dropped dramatically. She ranked 65th in the 500 yard free and 554th in the 200 yard free. Overall her US ranking dropped to 63rd."

Imagine being on the anti-trans rights side and seeing the gov change the law to allow trans segregation and thinking "Yes! I can't WAIT to go to the shops and film random employees as I harass them! This is the best day of my life!". You really have to be such a fucking loser to be transphobic

This is going around on X, a new study by SEGM member Riittakerttu Kaltiala (the abusive head of a clinic in Finland) is getting picked up as proof that gender-affirming care doesn't work. The data actually shows something very different from what the authors claim. It's purposefully distorted. 🧵
 Gemini said

A screenshot of a post on X by SEGM (@segm_ebm). The post text reads: "A new Finnish study reports that youth gender transitions (under age 23) did not improve mental health symptoms. For some youth, medical gender reassignment may have had a negative impact."

Below the text is an image showing the "Results," "Conclusion," and "Summary" sections of a medical study. The word "FALSE" is stamped in large, bold, red letters across the center of the study text.

A specific sentence in the "Results" section is highlighted in blue: "Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up—rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment."

She's a girl, not a woman. Even in a publication that at least on the surface tries to appear neutral, they can't help themselves. Using the adult term for a child participating in children's sport with her friends reframes the headline to a negative slant by suggesting she's an adult.

From someone I know on FB; About Dr Beth Upton, who is the REAL victim here, although you wouldn't know that from looking at the media; -the victim of transphobic court procedures, -the victim of a viciously transphobic media and -the victim of a transphobic hate campaign.
This is Dr Beth Upton, an A&E 'junior doctor'. For  YEARS she has been dragged through the Employment Tribunal and through the gutter by a viciously transphobic press, mocked and humiliated , even in court.
The finding? She did NOTHING wrong. She just did her job, changed in and out of her scrubs in the changing room that she was told to use by the management and treated people. 
SHE was a victim of bullying by a bigoted transphobic nurse who then claimed to be the victim. The court consistently found her evidence honest and reliable while that of her accuser was not. 
While the health authority and hospital were found liable due to having handled the case badly, with unacceptable delays and inadequate attempts to resolve the dispute, they were found not guilty of any discrimination - direct or indirect. 
Beth was found to be COMPLETELY blameless - but still had every minute detail of her personal life poked and  examined in the gleeful media and in open court, where she was insulted and misgenderd by the opposing barrister,  leading transphobe Naomi Cunningham. 
I just hope she can find some way to recover from this and rebuild her life and career. Bless her heart.
