Putting forth the more controversial position, ‘forcefem is funny.’
"Forcefem fantasies are unethical," is such a funny thing to say when we live in a society that forces people to grow up as the wrong gender and is criminalizing the alternative

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

The problem with being trans is that even allies know nothing about us. Because nobody wants to hear us talk, or read our literature, or let us report on ourselves. Our books are banned, our interviews shelved. Cis people write the entire narrative on us - allies and opponents.

There’s a lot of talk about the Hitler youth types who are turning in their professors and not enough discussion about the ones who are feeling intense despair because they're going to school with the Hitler youth types and immigrants are being kidnapped and trans people are facing genocide &etc

If "female socialization" is your shorthand for being treated like whipped dogs who never learn to act right, that is something that applies to queer kids pretty intensely!
Heck, call it "queer socialization". The universial experience of society attempting to beat us into the closet or the grave.

if a soulless machine incapable of thought or feeling wore your dead grandmother's skin and pretended to love you, would you talk to it?

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness
The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

A lot of journalists are writing stories about DIY now and I don't trust any of them not to scaremonger about it to build support for crackdowns. I've refused requests for interviews on this. Do not talk to the media about DIY.
Trans people need to be careful about talking about DIY. Yes talk about it in the general sense, quote the facts and figures but be careful. Don't give away sources to cis folks. Don't talk to journalists about the details. They're coming for it.

Transition is a matter of free will and freedom. Trans people are going to do it anyway and you cannot stop them.
We are full human beings with the right to decide our lives for ourselves and no one has a right to stand in the way of that.

one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere
What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?
