One of the things about the "GC" movement is that at the start it was all trying to be reasonable and "of course I support real trans people, but what if a predatory man takes advantage?" and along the way it morphed into "all trans people are predators and must be identifiable and kept separate"
The cornerstone of modern transmisogyny is a complete denial of the harm trans women are subject to at the hands of society.
Politicians and gender-conservative activists revel in fictions of us as predatory men while erasing our elevated rates of assault, impoverishment, and hyperscrutiny.

I will repeat my ongoing statement as a survivor of childhood sex*al ab*se.
Never, in the many years I have been involved with online support of other survivors, has ONE single survivor said their ab*ser was a male predator pretending to be a trans female. It's not just a fantasy stirred up

Catching up on Farage's so called defence of his racist comments.
I immediately thought of this quote, only I substituted the word duck for racist.
"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck."
He's an odious little man.

One of the interesting things (to me) about the transphobe-led assault on appropriate healthcare for trans kids is the complete disregard for lived experience.
Like many trans people of my generation, I went through childhood and adolescence with no support.

The trans community’s trust in the NHS’ new puberty blocker trial is low and I can’t help but wonder whether they could have prevented that by involving ANY trans people in its design or operation, and maybe not involving several people who have attended conferences of anti-LGBTQ hate groups
