You mean besides the fact that a dozen countries have had it for years without major issues, which surely TERFs would be frantically promoting if they existed? well, the govt of Argentina did a study and found that there was no rise in violence against women in the first decade of self-ID and...

flip it around. why is this the thread, of all threads, that you choose as a hill to die on? I know why I'm here. I have skin in the game. this directs people I care about directly, and it effects me less directly as a queer person. this struggle is intertwined with my life. why are yall...

do you really not understand this? it's patriarchy first, there is a very specific conflict between cis men and trans men (again, "transmen", not a word). tradbros bemoaning before/after pics of a trans man transitioning are common enough to be a Twitter trope. "she used to be so beautiful"...

always, pal I can't promise to be around very often but whenever I am the garbage is going out stay strong, keep your chin up, this bullshit will largely pass eventually

it's a different tradeoff. for someone applying for a job working children is virtually nothing, the cost of having a background check run is virtually nothing. trans women, otoh, if they've visibly transitioned in any way, are not physically safe in men's bathrooms, let alone men's prisons...

that's patently untrue and directly indicative, again, of a pretty staggering level of ignorance Chicago alone has multiple trans-led spaces for trans and other queer people. The Brave Space Alliance is one example (incidentally, a great place to donate to, if one is so inclined). The trans...

this is the last time I'm ever going to directly address you on this forum (I encourage everyone else to follow the same policy but that's up to yall individually) bc you're absolutely not worth it you are the saddest creep I've ever seen on Dissensus, in a 15+ year history of sad creeps. your...

point me to anywhere that TERFs - or GC ppl if you prefer - or other anti-trans folks have been publicly, vocally critical of nonconsensual surgery performed on intersex minors these are people who post obsessively about trans people 24/7/365. Surely you should be able to find some material...

also I forget that part where the UK was a totally harmonious polity that didn't have a generationally divisive vote that has thrown the country into disarray for the last 7 years. absolutely no polarization among British people. I swear there is almost nothing sillier than smug Europeans...

Absolutely not in bad faith. The ties between TERFs and the right-wing - including many deeply misogynistic, often explicitly anti-feminist institutions and individuals - are extensive and well documented. The LGB Alliance's (absolute clown organization, but still) ties to the Heritage...

oh actually, one last thing breast enhancement surgery for cis teenagers is 26 times* as common as gender-affirming surgery of all kinds for trans minors. 26 times! Feel free to look it up. cis minors get elective gender-affirming surgery - also including rhinoplasty, male breast reduction...

I'll end with this to tie it all back in You know who's on the same side as TERF/GC? As I said, every single Neonazi (as well as of course, the original Nazis, who burned the world's first sexology research center in 1933), every single toxic manosphere would-be Andrew Tate, every tradbro...

btw I'm perfectly fine with padrage. I'm all about it, actually. thanks to whoever coined it. the world is literally on fire, white supremacists and fascists are falling out of every corner to spew their poison, who knows if American democracy will survive another election cycle. 60 people...

it really is grim to see a thread devoted to an assault that is literally forcing families to flee, and wrecking lives in its wake, have an attempted takeover by TERF bullshit Canada just put out a travel warning for LGBTQ+ Canadians traveling to the U.S. A GC person tweeted "At least the...

wait sorry, who was it again who relentlessly went after the Sacklers for initiating the opioid crisis and coopting large swathes of the medical industry to push Oxycontin at a level that immensely dwarfs the puberty blockers and HRT? cos it sure as hell wasn't Matt Walsh and co ofc the...

See upthread. Ireland, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, Argentina, Malta, etc all have self-ID. None have experienced a wave of sexual assault. It's a bullshit scare tactic.

it's extremely grim. who knew this place would up as a soundboard for TERFs and alt-right shitheels? thanks to jenks @DannyL @sufi @subvert47 @thirdform for standing up against this tidal wave of bullshit in my absence

also, as always, the claim that transphobes are motivated by care for children or the supposed sexualization of children rather than yunno, transphobia, is revealed as total bullshit by the fact that they are totally silent about the rampant sexualization of children in things like child beauty...

dude I know your whole thing is being like the worst person ever, but there is a currently a massive assault - granted, concocted by right-wing think tank strategists, and full of astroturfed bullshit like Gays Against Groomers, but still - on trans ppl, queer ppl, drag queens, and cis straight...

Typical luka flippancy aside, that data already exists. Ireland has had self-identification of gender since 2015, and it has gone just fine. New Zealand signed it into law two years ago, went into effect this June, and again, fine. The idea that someone would transition in order to get access...
