You there boy! What discourse is it?
I fight for a world where people are normal about trans people going swimming.

It is interesting you never see this logic used for gender affirming surgery when cis people do it, which, like everything else to do with transphobia, is completely backwards: you're way more likely to regret something like this if you turn out later to be trans...
If I had had that surgery as I was younger I would deeply regret it. Have they considered sending them to therapists instead? What if they just do it to follow a trend?

Hey Wes, I can save you the trouble. The reason a lot of people are struggling with their mental health in the UK is it fucking sucks here. Aside from usual late-stage capitalism stuff, everything that could be cool about living here has been systematically made worse by people like you, you cunt.

These are evil ppl who lost any moral compass they may have had. They’re driven by hatred and guided by raw bigotry. This is a comment any decent person should be ashamed of.

Dunstan has no decency, it’s the shared trait of the transphobia hate movement
I thought I could not be shocked by what prominent transphobes feel able to say about me. Turns out I was wrong.

Here is Richard Dunstan, a prominent commentator closely associated with the Sex Matters charity, speculating that I enjoyed being sexually assaulted as a child.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

Contact us if you have been affected by the policy changes of Girl Guiding or the Women's Institute. This could be as an individual, or because you lead a local Brownie group who don't want this policy change. We want to help protect trans inclusion.

one of the reasons I stopped engaging in these discussions is our opponents are incapable of addressing criticism. but the point for them is not to hash out these issues, it's to repeat the same thing over and over again until it starts to look like the "truth" for people with institutional power.
Utterly baffling to insist any description of sex as a phenomenon in humans must be applicable to every species with a sex, not least when the more universal a definition of sex becomes the less utility it has.

(And has the state of the argument really progressed so little in six years!?)

If the UK thinks that it is in a water quandry now, it will only get ridiculously worse if we continue ineffective climate action and then AMOC shuts down—which is predicted to reduce summer rain even more, shrinking arable land fm 32% to 7%.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades
