The notion of childhood transition being “grooming” originates from nontransitioners proclaiming that transition is a choice, not a medical necessity. That’s the only way the grooming accusations work, if transness is presented as a lifestyle as opposed to a medical condition.
Detransitioners are completely irrelevant factors for deciding trans policy. The effects of hormones and surgery are very clear. We don’t limit gasoline sales just cause some morons drank it. Guardrails to protect dimwits should never encroach on the needs of honest people.
No, they are not. nondysphoric nontransitioning people have a concealable identity, they have no physical or material concerns. When push comes to shove they can easily opt out from being trans.
Transsexuals on the other hand have no such privilege, and are identifiable
Transfem only spaces are only ever allowed to be that for 5 minutes before people start wanting to be included in a safe space that is supposedly ours.
I've been watching in real time how yet another transfem safe space is being encroached on.
i think we need to pause and remember that v-coding is not just trans women “getting raped every day in prison” because we’re weak sissies or whatever. it is literally an institutional policy of having us raped on purpose as a means of rewarding and placating violent criminals.
lowkey i do think it's a little sinister to animate femboys like trans women and then never once include an actual trans woman in your show, if for no other reason than because it tricks people into thinking they can get that body type without transitioning
Dare I say that "you don't have to transition to be trans" is actively malicious in our current political environment?
I'm sure the trans women in Florida at risk of being forcibly detransitioned by the state are really comforted by the idea that they "don't have" to transition.
