I am a literal biologist. "Sex" is an amalgamation of a bunch of different characteristics that usually, but not always, can be grouped into two major categories. I am not "biologically female".
What makes me "biologically female"? Is it my uterus? Because I'm having that removed. Is it my hormones? Because I have a male hormone profile. Is it my chromosomes? Because that literally doesn't matter in my day to day life.
"Biological sex" and its derivatives are utilizing pseudoscience to justify bigotry. The actual human experience is infinitely more vast and varied than an artificially constructed absolute binary.

"Can I ask a question in good faith? Why can't I just misgender you whenever I want? :(" A screenshot of a tweet by Ana Kasparian that says, "Ca
This makes my blood boil, especially because this whole escapade started because Ana couldn't tolerate being referred to in gender neutral, anatomical language. She can't tolerate not having her gender be explicitly validated, yet she can't understand why misgendering is bad.
Also, for those confused, the term "biological sex" and all its subsequent terminology is not a "kinder" or "more accurate" way to misgender people. It is misgendering, period.

Let's be clear.
This is a cishet white woman trying to dictate who is allowed to be in community + the language a community SHE DOES NOT BELONG TO can use to describe themselves.
She is trying to demand the erasure + ostracization of trans, Black + brown people from the community A screenshot showing JK Row...
JK Rowling doesn't get to decide what my joy is. JK Rowling is trying, just like the violent homophobes using it as a slur, to take my queer identity from me.
JK Rowling doesn't speak for us.
The exclusion of queerness, the exclusion of transness, the exclusion of Black + brown people: these are the exclusions of the most vulnerable in our community.
This is assimilationism. The same assimilationism that has abandoned queer people of color + trans people for centuries

I truly believe that part of the reason the anti-trans "culture war" has found so much purchase in the United States is that meaningfully supporting trans people requires us to question current fundamental operations of how our society works. 🧵
The things that would benefit trans people will benefit all people not in power. It's important that we understand what these broader questions are, so that we understand what is really being debated.m
It is a mistake to assume that the current "debate" around transgender inclusion is limited to trans people. It has serious ramifications for all marginalized people. It asks serious questions, that so far, are largely being ignored by those outside of trans advocacy.

If you are cis and want to empathize with trans people with dysphoria, don't imagine yourself transitioning; instead, imagine yourself in a body with secondary sex characteristics that don't align with your perception of yourself.
Imagine that everywhere you go, people treat you as a different gender than you are. Really sit with this, imagine it as vividly as you can.
That instant feeling of discomfort, which may be accompanied by fear, or anger, or despair? That's dysphoria. You experienced it momentarily, and were able to simply stop your imagination. For trans people with untreated dysphoria, that feeling may be lifelong.

If your support for trans kids only includes those with supportive parents, you are ignoring the most vulnerable. Framing trans children's access to autonomy and self-determination as a "parents' rights" issue benefits those with supportive parents only. It falls short.
All trans children deserve our love and support. All trans children deserve to determine their own future and exercise bodily autonomy. All trans children deserve to be in charge of their own self expression. I fight for all trans children.
The debates over trans children's rights to self determination, self expression and bodily autonomy are uncovering our deep societal issues of denying children these basic human rights. Children are people, and deserve the right to make informed decisions for themselves.
