Another thriving Etsy storefront, TransPackingUniverse, sells handmade fabric prosthetic penises "Silly Willies" for very small children.
etsy.com/listing/635788…
2. Packer comes in solid colors as well as blue stars, dots, and dog patterns. "Parents , if you would like a different size shaft or any other customization please contact us directly and we will make the necessary adjustments."
3. "Cut" and "uncut" versions on display.
4. What child wouldn't find these harness & pouch choices appealing?

But you can't "make a child transgender." None of this whimsical paraphernalia could possibly increase the chance a toddler will proceed to puberty blockers, hormones, etc. in the future. Perish the thought.

1. THREAD. Example of how moderators in the 8000+-member affirmative parent group vigilantly police and remove any information which may raise doubts. Here, a parent posts a forbidden article & wonders about underlying reasons that might be a factor in her teen's sudden trans ID.
2. "Admin, can this link be removed?"
3. Admin intervenes: "We've all been there" but remember -- it's suicide or transition. The not-so-implicit message is that even raising questions means the child "does not receive support at home," with dire consequences. Misuse of the NCTE 2014 stat follows.

1. THREAD.

In response to the anonymized leaks our source provided to 4thWaveNow from the affirmative parent forum, some angry members of the forum have appeared on Twitter to criticize us for “cherry picking” a “miniscule number of posts.”
2. They rightly point out that not everyone is talking about fake penises for preschoolers, the best tucking underwear to hide a 4-yr-old’s male genitalia, ER visits due to binding, & other things our source exposed.
3. They say we aren’t revealing the forum posts about happy trans kids in less extreme contexts.

Those purportedly happy trans kids are the subject of 10000s of media stories over the last 5+ years. In fact, many of their parents are members of the forum; some are celebrities.

A tip-of-the-iceberg post.

There are many more like this. Many threads include posts by well-known activists (who are group members), offering to help pressure US insurance companies into paying for hormones/surgeries at younger & younger ages. The pressure is often successful.
2. Discussions re: pressuring insurance companies to cover pediatric interventions also take place in public groups.This from 2016 by Dr. Olson-Kennedy describes, w/screen caps, what insurance companies say in denials (in this case, for puberty blockers)

#BD969 - my song-by-song chronological Bob Dylan project - is moving into the pivotal year of 1965, so I am starting a new thread. Remember, he not busy liking and subscribing is busy dying.
Backstory: I am listening to all 969* officially-released Bob Dylan recordings in chronological order and tweeting about them with #BD969. You can find part one (1961-1964) in easy-ish to read format here:

*actually increased to 973 after I started

threadreaderapp.com/thread/1097693…
Once upon a time I was an English major and delighted in Dylanologists like Michael Gray, whose book Song & Dance Man ferreted out Bob’s influences. I’ve forgotten most of it but this Subterranean Homesick Blues/Robert Browning comparison stick with me. #BD969

Trouble at Etsy. Accounts have been seeing charges of over $5000 to their credit cards connected to their shop accounts. Shoppers might want to check their accounts as well. Etsy took $12,000 from this shop owner @etsy #etsy
Any Etsy sellers who see this, please retweet! I don't have much of a following so not many people will see it. #etsyseller #etsysellers #etsy
Etsy is not cancelling these charges because that means Etsy will lose a lot of money, so they decided to instead send the money back to shop owners payment accounts. Shop owners will not get their money back until next week and the damage will be done by then.

This seems to be a controversial statement, so let's talk about why & why it shouldn't be (a thread).

Talking about ace or aro bi people doesn't detract from #BiVisibilityDay because they ARE bi people with bi experiences that largely get erased.
TW: biphobia and acephobia will be talked about in this thread. Mostly the microaggression, erasure, and exclusion variety.
This short article has excellent definitions, so I'll proceed assuming you're read it and understand the terms. In short, an asexual (ace) person is someone who experiences limited to no sexual attraction. Ace people may or may not have sex.

@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?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?

Okay, yesterday I watched Empire Strikes Back
Today, I overslept a bit and then had to get on the phone with my insurance but that’s okay because you know what today is. You know. It’s EPISODE VI: MURDER BEARS #sithmas
Look at my beautiful bears. Look at their vicious little faces. (Galaxy of Heroes doles out 10 Wicket shards every couple of months, damn them) #sithmas
