Queerly Beloved @queerly-beloved.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Or when they’ve been posting about how “LGBT rights are under attack”. Like when other cis people read that they think gay marriage not trans genocide. It really doesn’t match the energy of the moment 060
Reposted by Queerly BelovedErin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 20/01/2025I am not a man. Evan Urquhart is not a woman. No matter what Trump's government said. So much of what Trump wants to do targeting trans people will depend on cisgender people to enforce his policies and police our bodies and spaces we exist in. So much can be stopped by people refusing to do so. 714128810

None of it changes who we are. Being trans is a gift and one I am so grateful to have received. No fascist Trumpist nationalist bullshit will ever change that. Get some rest. Stay safe.

Queerly Beloved @queerly-beloved.bsky.social · 05/12/2024The struggle for trans rights is an always will be a struggle to allow people to have autonomy over our own bodies. As is the struggle for reproductive rights. Any person cis or trans who values the ability to have autonomy over their own bodies should be paying attention to this struggle. 000
Reposted by Queerly BelovedGillian Branstetter @gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 05/12/2024I think there is genuinely little grappling with gender dysphoria not so much as a mystical force from some internal self but the logical consequence of being denied autonomy of your own body and freedom over your own life which are, in fact, life-threatening conditions 742368

Queerly Beloved @queerly-beloved.bsky.social · 04/12/2024The possibility for regret is a consequence of having freedom of choice. The only way to remove all possibility of regret is to remove all possibility of choice. This is a mask off moment. 010
Queerly Beloved @queerly-beloved.bsky.social · 04/12/2024What about the regret of trans children and adults who regret not being able to transition earlier? It is so plainly discriminatory to deprioritize trans people’s regret over detransitioners regret. 010
Reposted by Queerly BelovedAlejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 04/12/2024This should be said everywhere. Allowing discrimination like this against trans people undermines bedrock principles of constitutional rights across the board. 222419661

Queerly Beloved @queerly-beloved.bsky.social · 29/11/20243/ and then I would talk about how trans women share many of those same connections to womanhood. The primary difference is that they were born into a society that tried to force them into a gendered category that felt wrong 100
Queerly Beloved @queerly-beloved.bsky.social · 29/11/20242/ And if they try to talk about biology, I personally would respond “I’d be pretty offended if you tried to reduce my womanhood to my biology alone. It’s much more complicated than that” and then talk about all of the complex expansive things womanhood means for me personally. 100
Queerly Beloved @queerly-beloved.bsky.social · 29/11/20241/ If somebody is asking me this question they better be ready for a long conversation. Because to answer this question we need to talk about what makes anybody the gender they are. What makes them whatever gender they are? What makes me a cis woman? 100
Queerly Beloved @queerly-beloved.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Responding to a comment asking whether it would be better “debate whether gender ideology has gone too far” he responded with this comment, where he says the movement for trans rights was tacked on after gay rights was “won” after federal marriage legalization. It’s infuriating 000
Queerly Beloved @queerly-beloved.bsky.social · 26/11/2024This absolutely tool responded to a comment being like “why shouldn’t we just debate ‘gender ideology’” like this. What a tool 010
Queerly Beloved @queerly-beloved.bsky.social · 26/11/2024A framing I’ve found useful when talking with fellow cis people is talking about how the attacks on trans people and the attacks on reproductive rights are the same fight in many ways. They’re both fundamentally attacks on our right to be able to make choices for our own bodies. 030
