1/13 Trans people face significant injustices, discrimination & violence (the latter mostly by men). The long wait for NHS-based medical/surgical transition & encountering uninformed medical staff who can obstruct /delay care also happens.

2/13 But the answer isn’t to demand access to women’s spaces & services. Instead, why not lobby for better trans healthcare, trans services & safer social spaces for trans people? Trans people have the same basic human rights as the rest of us & are protected by the GRA.
3/13 The fight for trans rights cannot come at the expense of the hard-won rights of women & girls, who make up just over 50% of the world’s population, yet 4/5ths of the violence against them is by men. Nor can it come at the expense of silencing free speech, debate & dissent.
@DiscountMabs @JadedNurse63 @rizpossnett Ignoring fact that 50% of studies can't be replicated
And "Sociology" & related "Medical" type "studies" are the worst culprits
The ones that say otherwise are highly biased cherry-picked "studies" of self-selected participants by activist "researchers"

I do not believe in lying or painting someone in the wrong light so I’ve got receipts. - here is what struck me as being quite #transphobic of @cryptodrftng 1/3
After arguing with a #transphobe (@pmmeuhsLyce ) in her private server who insisted that @SarahAshtonLV gender identity isn’t valid, I suggested this person reach out to orgs like @KyivPride to better understand #trans #ukrainians. @cryptodrftng decided to answer with this: 2/3
To me this is a clear choice to take issue with the term #TERF. I don’t care if you’re #Ukrainian or not, I don’t stand for garbage takes that fuel propagandists and serve as a #dogwhistle to #transphobes 3/3 speak the fuck up

Hey everyone, I’m a mom. I work in an allied healthcare profession. I’m a so called #terf. I don’t have a singular #peaktrans experience, but rather a culmination of experiences. So here we go!

Almost a decade ago, I learned that terms #genderdysphoria and #transgender. There were some people who had extreme distress about their sex and they felt happier looking and presenting like the opposite sex. They worked closely with doctors and therapists.
I didn’t care. None of my business. But when hospital coworkers and staff started saying #TransWomenAreWomen , I started to question it. How could they literally be women? #whatisawoman ?
There is an animal rescue in #Vancouver that is refusing to adopt animals to trans people, and is planning to euthanize a cat rather than adopt to a trans woman who has been fostering him.
Willing to chat with media about this.

Folks, for those who are asking me to name and shame publicly immediately: my first priority is to prevent this ‘rescue’ (run by one person) from spite-killing this cat. Once I get the cat to safety, I can do more.
The trans woman who is fostering this cat is now also willing to talk to media about this situation.
Here is Muttaz, the cat who has been taken - FROM THE VET, where his foster took him because he was sick - by the ‘rescue’.
He has a family who loves him.

3.2.e: "Only appear in reputable publications." How is it defined? Opinions: not part of #diversity & inclusion. Reputable is an opinion.
Ex: @energy106fm affirmed values & visions to be “one of the strongest media allies to the #LGBTQ community."

Before that, #Energy hired Dave Wheeler, a host released from his last radio position. The release was due to #transphobic #comments after receiving suspensions for racist comments.
Does @cityofwinnipeg define @energy106fm as reputable?

This is Beatrice Cardenas, who is running for Congress in California.She participates in #HarryandMeghan hate campaign.She is anti-vaxx, spreads conspiracies,hates the lgbtqia community and black ppl.She compared slave mask to mask ppl choose to wear and more. She is a racists
Starting to look at the governments #ConversionTherapy documents. I wonder what the @BACP, @UKCP_Updates @BPSOfficial @BPSSexualities @BritPsyCouncil @ncs_counselling @PinkTherapyUK all think about the highlighted section here? I especially wonder what the #MoU2 think.
I also want to point out that there is a brag about us being in the @ILGAEurope top 10.
The UK was first in 2015 or 2016.
In 2021 we have slipped to 10th. What does that tell you?

Furthermore, counselling is not a regulated profession, so how will they legislate for this? How can they call #ConversionTherapy "abhorrent", then state that adults can consent?
Everyone at risk of conversion therapy is vulnerable, not just children.

Also let's not have that conversation about how even in liberalism white people do speak over black/Latinx folks sometimes which causes problems y'all but apparently it's acceptable as long as they "Democrat" and agree with the hive mind cause they "good white people" lmao.
Welp. #generationy and #millennials, y'all not so tolerant now? You only not #transphobic, #misogynist, #racist, avoid #ethnic #discrimination, avoid critiquing valid #religions, non #ableist against disabled folx etc. as long as ppl agree 100% with the #liberal #hivemind 🤷
Forgot homophobia as I'm not straight lol so yes I am calling Millennial/Generation Y, at least some of you lot a bunch of dumbass crybabies who do not understand the idea of critically critiquing, and NO, that is not a #white thing or else I guess my CUNY Hunter college /3

American #libertarianism is sort of a mixed bag. A lot of male libertarians are very naïve about social reality, placing personal responsibility above everything else. They seem to take wealth concentration in the top 1% for granted, not realizing the complex reasons behind it.
Yet tons of people are born into poverty with almost no way out, particularly blacks in the ghettos and Native Americans in reservations. Yes, inequality is inevitable in any society, but it's morally irresponsible not to give a damn about it.
It's true that they tend to be far less #transphobic than social conservatives, but many of them judge trans women by "fuckability", which, needless to say, is #sexist. And many of them have an I-know-it-all mindset. Eric S. Raymond, father of "open source", is an archetype.
@KirstiMiller30 @brianmoore666 @AFL @RugbyAU @smh @Peter_Fitz @TwoBluesWomen @PrideinSportAU @AthleteAlly The great vanishing act! @KirstiMiller30 Trans erased!
Writing a book about farked up things people did back then.
Sad thing is people don’t get it when it comes to trans lives: we do matter even though some people think we don’t & our very existence is drawn into question.

If they only took my name off list they’d appear directly #transphobic but underhanded way they did it erasing award winners before me & Belinda makes it harder to hold to account.

Things which are not #transphobic, despite TRAs shouting otherwise:
- safeguarding children and vulnerable adults
- homosexuality
- heterosexuality
- women’s rights
- science
- evidence-based healthcare
- asking questions
- women saying ‘no’ to men
- safeguarding children and vulnerable adults
- homosexuality
- heterosexuality
- women’s rights

Sex, race, religion, sexual orientation: all are protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. Gender identity is not. Gender reassignment is not the winning card in a game of top trumps. Every protected characteristic must be considered when changing policy or law.
Women, men, genuine sufferers of gender dysphoria: Your rights, safety, privacy and dignity and those of your children and elderly parents are under threat by a bunch of self-entitled men yelling ‘transphobe’ at you. You are allowed to say no.
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?

.Every day in twitterverse I watch straight young white people who identify as "progressive" demean and diminish the lives of the marginalized & insist that WE need to recognize that "economic security" is the #1 issue all liberals need to focus on which will then solve all. (1)
.I watch them speak from their lofty privilege not realizing that they are standing on a platform built by the very people they demean. Their lack of gratitude for the work of these before them blows my mind. Their robotic devotion to an establishment man with minimal (2)
.accomplishments in his career is staggering. What saves me from despair is the ongoing work of POC and LGBTQ activists and allies who continue to engage the #racist & #homophobic #misogynist #transphobic "sleeping" people. Huge credit to all of you doing this work (3)
