Had someone in my comments implying trans people wanting to protect trans youth access to puberty blockers is to keep them âprepubescentâ. And this is one of the clearest signs of projection you could possibly have.
As a trans adult I know what is like to grow up and have my
Body change in ways that were deeply upsetting. I didnât have the words then to describe what was happening. I didnât know other people felt the same way. And I spent my youth trying to hide myself and make myself as small as possible.
Then. I learned about trans men. And other

Trump voters saying that they didnât disinherit their family when Biden won are⌠so lost in the sauce.
The difference. Biden may not have been your favorite candidate, he certainly wasnât mine. Any more than Harris was my picture perfect candidate.
Trump has said flat out
He plans on taking away rights of huge swaths of the American population. He has bragged about it. We have his first term to show us that he will do whatever he damn well pleases and very little will stop him. Now the GOP is even further in his pocket. So the idea that there are

Weâve already had the medical model of only allowing âtrue transâ people to transition. Hereâs the thing. What is meant by âtrue transâ is highly subjective to the doctors who sign off on the transition treatment. And they would deny anyone they felt wasnât trans âthe right wayâ
Which is why so many trans people in the past had to HYPE masculinize or feminize to be taken seriously.
And even then the doctors could deny someone healthcare they needed and wanted.
And of course, the desperation trans people had felt under those circumstances have been

You cannot be âpro-LGBâ and âanti-transâ. Itâs an oxymoron.
What you are really saying is âIâm coming for the LGBs lastâ.
Anyone who has spent time seriously studying history knows what you are saying.
Most of us know the story of Ernst RĂśhm.
For those who donât know who Ernst RĂśhm was.
He was the flamboyantly gay founder of Hilterâs Brown Shirts. He was tolerated, Hitler even liked him. But it didnât save him in the end.
He was killed in the Night of Long Knives. When the right wing of the Nazis did away with the

So.
I was called out a few days ago because my posts reflect the life of a white, cis passing trans man.
I cannot deny that I have some incredible privileges. I have been incredibly lucky. I also live in one of the best areas to be trans it.
I have always tried to be
Up front and honest about the limitations of what I can address.
And I have also tried to be vocal about wanting to support my Black, Brown and Indigenous trans siblings.
If I see something I say something.
I will also say, I donât ever want to speak for my other siblings.

A trans exclusionist in another thread is talking about her butch wife who wants thrift spaces.
Thatâs great for her. If she feels she would be more comfortable with a neutral option that is her right.
But forcing people into those third spaces because *you* find sharing space
With them gross is bigotry.
There should be more bathrooms that accommodate families, or parents with children. That are accessible enough that people of all abilities can use.
And if some cis people feel more comfortable using them that is fine.
But creating these spaces

Transphobes have really done a great job convincing women trans people are the real dangers.
They have convinced âWomen Rights Activistsâ, who have separated themselves from feminists, that to âprotectâ women we must strip them of bodily autonomy. And enforce strict definitions
And requirements on who is allowed to be a woman.
And they have fancy misleading statistics that anyone literate in how to read them tells them those stats donât support their claims.
But they can bludgeon trans people over the head with them and continue in their ignorance.

I just want to make this explicitly clear.
I try very hard to be anti racist. I do come from a very privileged background so im not always on top of everything.
I want to advocate for all my trans siblings no matter where on the color spectrum they maybe.
I encourage any of
My followers to hold me accountable if I mess up.
I want my spaces to be inclusive of POC. And I hope I can prove myself an ally.

GCs and TERFs in my mentions- we donât LITERALLY want you dead. We just support people who spout the same genocidal bullshit. Spout rhetoric that is indistinguishable from literal Nazis.
We just support people who call for your public execution. Demonize your healthcare and any laws that are designed to make life any little bit easier for. And you should lose access to public spaces you have already been using for millennia. Because we just learned

To the trans holocaust denialists. Trans people were victims in the holocaust. It takes nothing away from the Jewish, Romani/ travellers, et al to recognize that.
At a Pride flag raising. And the City council is patting themselves on the back for having Pride flags and buildings being lite up in Pride colors. Then they talk about âsymbolicallyâ being with us.
You better fucking show up when push comes to shove. Because being symbolically
With us is the lowest bar you can clear.

When I first started listening to the Queer discourse on Twitter I began to believe that as a gay trans man I was not welcome in the LGBTQ+ community. That I wasnât wanted and that people thought I was pretending.
Since then, I have donât more research into trans men and found
Other gay trans men. I went to my local LGBTQ+ community center. And you know what?
The VAST majority of the LGBTQ+ DO see gay trans men and lesbian trans women as integral to this community.
Even on this hell site I have found far MORE cis LGB folks who support my inclusion.

What transphobes donât realize is that trans people have historically been excellent at hiding. That is how we have managed to survive.
In the past, if you couldnât pass you were often attacked and killed.
I have an older trans man friend who has told me it used to be that
Trans men HAD to wear packers. It could be the difference between life and death if somebody clicked you.
I have never worn a packer consistently. I have been incredibly lucky to be able to choose if that was something I wanted to do.

The old lie that trans men are just lesbians really doesnât work on me.
While I have never ruled out having a woman as a romantic partner, I am very much NOT sexually interested in women.
I originally thought I couldnât be trans because I was attracted to men. Thought they wouldnât let me transition. And once upon a time, they wouldnât have.
