Strawberries

game dev's mildly controversial account for trans and creative takes.

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@Xenoimpulse I've been taking it at a decent dose for months and am exactly as trans as I was beforehand.

@dilanesper Its gotten to the point in the uk where judges let litigants insult trans participants in the trial who are participating as witnesses under the guise of "balancing rights", the point is glaringly the power to have societal paricipation become hostile to trans people and yet..

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@dilanesper Its the same gambit they use for toilets, if being in the same general area as a trans woman is a rights violation for a gc person, suddenly removing the trans person sounds more like "balancing rights" rather than the societal exclusion as an expression of power it is.

@mattyglesias Point being that there are probably some people who would fit the described category, Martina is clearly not one of them, the poor trans womans entire offense was following NHS policy while being a trans doctor in the UK.

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@mattyglesias Martina Navratilova, not even a day ago, demanding a trans woman be registered as a sex offender for being trans, the poor woman in question unambiguously did nothing wrong, and the court case established it, yet she's still harrassing her after being hounded out of the UK.

@WheelerMorse @JimLaPorta @SecWar Almost all of them end up there because when they look for advice about how to deal with it without transitioning, people like you tell them to man up and join the military, then several years later they find it's not gone, they're still trans, just in the military now.

@a_salty_pinch @DudleyNYC @captgouda24 This is like going back to 1920, getting a graph that shows people who grew up after the stigma around left-handedness are left handed more, and confidently asserting that means they're either all growing out of it or it's a social contagion.

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 The quote i posted was a quote from the heral scotland paper linked just above from her evidence to a Scottish parlimentary committee.

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 Do you apply this standard to critism of JFKs appointees? They're only bad if they say in writing in the report they wrote directly blatantly bigoted or wrong things? Do you think that fight is that black and white?

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 it's not that i'm calling everyone who disagrees with this a bigot, I'm saying she's been headed absurd power over my community, she has a responsibility to not do things like this for the same reason JFK does to not tell people autistic people can't function as adults ever.

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 Telling parliment porn makes people trans implies trans people are all porn sick perverts or whatever, it's the same as telling people abuse correlates with being gay makes them think conversion therapy worse, expect worse in a way as it implies it's the trans peoples fault.

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 The book is https://t.co/mKpVo8XVpy
> "Irreversible Damage" is a much-criticized book written by influential anti-transgender activist Abigail Shrier. Shrier has previously stated that transgender acceptance is “misogyny in progressive clothing.”

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 It's not that having that suspicion is bad, it's going around telling people loudly about it. It's like having the suspicion being gay may be linked to abuse, suspecting the influence is fine, going around making a carnival out of saying it to politicians and journalist is not.

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 It is *exactly* the same problem as the kind of things JFK says about autistic people, or when men who aren't even trying to emphasise are allowed total power over women bodies.

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 She went around promoting a book whose premise is that trans people are "damaged" she went to the british parliment and told them trans people turned trans because of pornogrophy, she is at worst actively bigoted, at best utterly insensitive to the people she has power over.

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 Switch the situation out for JFKs anti vax reviews, would largely basing your opinions of vaccines on them not warrant the retort pointing out the guy hired to do them was blatantly hired because he already thought vaccines were bad for non-scientific reasons?

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 Your source for this is cass who went into the whole thing thinking the idea that a person could be trans is a moral aberration and had never worked with anyone trans, but claims authority on it. it's hard to see a better example of medicine turning into ideology than that.

[Strawberries @Strawberries70]

@DudleyNYC @captgouda24 That's literally exactly what both of the studies with p=150 I posted said. You're whole evidence against this is studies done 3 decades ago on a completely different population, there are no studies suggesting anyone who transitions regrets it at any significant proportion.
