One thing I would love all pro trans activists to hear: your stupidity, your scientific illiteracy, and your sense of entitlement are sadly not protected characteristics. Wear whatever the fuck you want, just don't deny your sexed body and stay out of single sex spaces. Enough!
Stop using the same tired bad faith arguments that aren't smarter now than the first time they were uttered. No-one cares who you think you are in your head. No-one cares you altered your driver's license or birth certificate. No-one takes your pronouns requests seriously.
Those so-called rights you aspire to that you don't already have are all boundary crossing transgressions of the worst kind. Fraudulently altering driver's licenses is bad enough, but some of you manage to alter birth certificates "after the fact". What a cynical assault...

So as an older woman I am growing a beard. Even on the neck. Kaiser Permanente provides electrolysis for patients with gender dysphoria. Catch is you have to have been born w a "testicular body." "Bodies w ovaries" are not qualified to get this gender affirming care.
So even though my beard is causing me gender dysphoria I am being denied equal treatment based on my sex. I will have to get a referral, be denied, appeal, probably be denied for this life saving medical intervention.
Then I will file a civil rights complaint because as an agender person my rights to equal care are being denied me. Under Kaiser Permanente rules @MattWalshBlog could get a beard removal to feminize him, but because I have ovaries I cannot have my beard removed to feminize me.

Two-Spirit (trans) people predate MAGA and Christianity by thousands of years in North America. They held an important status within Indigenous communities. β€” I absolutely support them and their community. #TransDayofVisability πŸͺΆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ
Many Indigenous cultures believe in a third gender. The Lakota believe this third gender harbors an amalgamation of both female and male souls. What makes Two-Spirit people so incredibly unique is their ability to perceive the world β€” from two distinct spiritual lenses. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸͺΆ
The Lakota referred to our Two-Spirit brothers and sisters as Winktes (wink-tay.) Winktes (Two-Spirits) were considered sacred beings. Some even presided over weddings. Two-Spirit is still a relatively new term applied to these beautiful people however, I, for one, like it. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ
