@IndiaWilloughby "no kids are trans" they say while ignoring actual trans people telling them they were and knew it from age 4.
"But this one person over here says they didn't, so I'm going with that".
@Scientits "this one was so bad I'm sure next year will be better!"
We've said every year for at least six years now and been very wrong every time.
Oh Bowie, why did you have to leave us? Whyyyyyyyyy?
@pdxdnb303@againstgrmrs They're not. One is due to social pressure to conform (anorexia) , the other is just something they know, despite attitudes like those in this very thread, though transphobic friends and relatives can cause children to hide it and some count that as the end of a phase.
@huskerpower9495@rathernot88 The irony here. What they say is true. They *have* done the research and have at least some idea what they're talking about.
@bluebirdjam@Hereticalturf@Gremozzerella Okay, I'll address that you and others have implied all trans people are a danger in public toilets because there's porn about that.
If that's not the point of compiling a list of trans porn and inserting it into a thread about trans people then please explain what it is?
@bluebirdjam@RadFemme74@cecinestpaspipe *doctor removes the 'unwanted' parts*
"There, now the baby is a girl and fits our gender binary, thus proving that it is a binary, also we totally didn't need to do the surgery to enforce the binary because it is a binary but we did it anyway".
Something like that?
@brianmctavish@MeghanEMurphy@ACLUTx It's the first time I've heard this claim made ever, and from experience there's a huge overlap between transphobic and racist so I feel like it would have come up.
@TaxRest@APotato48@PinkRangerLB Do you want me to guess the point? If I have to guess then it's definitely that you believe trans men shouldn't be allowed to get phalloplasty, in which case it's 💯 not your decision because it's not your body.
@bluebirdjam@Hereticalturf@Gremozzerella It's not exactly a rise, porn has been around for a very very long time and I'm pretty sure that both trans and cis people have been involved. If people wanking in toilets is what you consider disturbing I recommend you do not google further. People cis and trans alike do worse.
@Hereticalturf@Gremozzerella Sigh. You've exaggerated that more every time. You're really getting into it now.
In brief I was offering balance. There are societal reasons that lend to individuals behaving in certain ways, be it financial or moral judgements. They aren't the whole story, just parts. Nuance.
@Hereticalturf@Gremozzerella How do you know they aren't already?
Bearing in mind that for every bit of trans porn you can find I can guarantee you I can find 10 items of cis porn. You'd get get calling it out, should keep you busy for a while.
@Hereticalturf@bluebirdjam@Gremozzerella So you're not into nuance, grey areas, things being complicated or basically anything except you being right without having to try?
@brianmctavish@MeghanEMurphy@ACLUTx The far right: "Where we're going we don't need evidence"
Also the far right: "the burden of proof is on you to prove my claim is false even though I've offered nothing to back it up in the first place"
@brianmctavish@MeghanEMurphy@ACLUTx Funnily enough that's exactly what I'm saying, only in defense of individuals in minorites, rather than as a reason to listen to only the ones that shit on their minority.
@Hereticalturf@Gremozzerella What's amazing is watching you claim #WomenWontWank.
And failing at feminism harder by saying it's sick to do so. You don't have to, but let other women enjoy their own bodies.
@Hereticalturf@RadFemme74@Gremozzerella@bluebirdjam@OLarsenB I think you'd be amazed by how many 'normal' people are not. Turns out that living in a super judgey society that wants to control what you do and with who results in people just doing it in secret. And that's not just LGBT, that's cishet couples hiding that they even have sex.
