Cis parents:

Suppose you have a daughter who wants to play a sport.

Would you want her to go through such a "physical examination"?

If she was accused of "being a boy", they'd have to check. Even if you both knew she wasn't a trans girl.

No one is exempt from fascism. Y'all had better care.

“You don't have to constantly consume trauma in order to know injustice exists.”

Stolen from elsewhere. I think I’m gonna try to stay off the real-world medias for a while.

I can see why cis people get so stuck on gender

A fucking hat assigns them Gryffindor and they take that to the grave

reminder that even if you're quite young/not immunocompromised you should still get your vaccine asap if it's offered to you. you're not "jumping the queue" it's okay, just take it, especially if it's going to waste otherwise. the more people who get it the better, and your safety matters too.

Also, keep in mind the things many absolute rat bastards (especially in the UK) are accusing trans people of, are 100% projection.

They accuse trans people of the things they want to DO to trans people. Always.

Trans people are accused (in the UK) of wanting to "lower the age of consent to 10", and harm children.

Meanwhile, the Florida anti-trans law just passed will permit schools to subject underage kids to "physical examination". That means looking at the kids' genitals.

I've talked to trans guys who have endured this, in order to get hormones to transition. It's a trauma no kid should have. Certainly not to PLAY.

Cis people:

Please don't permit yourself to be fooled that things like this only affect the exact people that they officially target.

This is one example of an actual slippery slope.

A bill banning young trans girls from womens' sports teams at school, doesn't just affect young trans girls at that states' schools -- though that's already far too many girls.

* It affects the cis girls who are their friends, and want them on their teams.

* It affects trans boys, weighing up the risks of applying for the boys' team.

* It affects nonbinary people, who understand they'll have to "choose a side" to be on a team.

* It affects adult women's teams, who will have fewer experienced players to choose from.

* It affects coaches, who now have to enforce a policy they might find soul-crushingly hurtful.

* It affects trans adults, who want to play sports recreationally, and now have to worry about bigotry being enabled and encouraged in their own sports communities.

Bills that target "trans children" are intended as threats to the entire transgender demographic. Children are easier to legislate against, as they have few rights for themselves, and there is a cover of their "protection" to hide behind.

What is done to trans children is what bigots want to do to ALL transgender people, and all non-conforming people of any kind.

Including you.

(boosts ok)

I was looking for an online support group for a trans friend who needed help coping with their gender dysphoria, and instead I found a “support group” for transphobic parents.

The main website sorta pretends to be at least somewhat positive towards trans people, but their pdf list of “resources” is a compilation of fearmongering about “”ROGD”” and hormone blockers, and endorsements of bathroom laws, “LGB”/“drop the T” alliances, transphobic detransitioners, the TERF moms who call themselves 4th Wave Now, and more.

The website is called genderdysphoriasupportnetwork DOT com. Not super into directly linking it tbh.

One of my dogs likes tennis balls and the other likes sticks. I am getting them this educational toy so that they will learn about topology.

This is the one year that I am actually beginning to fear for my life in the United States, because so many states are passing anti-transgender laws.

I know I am an transgender woman who is an adult, but I still fear for myself.

We really need to do something about all of these goddamn Republicans. We need to get them out of office right now, and to fix the country so everyone is equal and free.

Right now I really hate America, and I would murder if it meant I could move to Switzerland immediately.
