“You can’t be born in the wrong body, that’s not science!”

I know sweetie, we were trying to make it simple so you’d understand 🥰
Like when your mommy told you that you came from her “tummy”.
You know she didn’t believe that right? That was a little phrase just for you! 💕
I referenced this tweet in "Gödel is Sure Bach, and Trans People Are Sure Their Gender". It's a 6-minute read on Medium. Medium lets you read a certain number of stories for free every month. You may also consider a paid membership on the platform.
Trans 101 DEI trainings about pronouns are not only a shallow introduction to trans identities but frequently a counterintuitive one. They compel empathy instead of justifying it.

I've sat in plenty of trainings that say "you don't have to understand someone's identity to respect it"--which is true! But it misses an opportunity for a stronger sense of solidarity built around shared values and interests, instead opting for surface-level compliance.

i think we've all got to let go of the dehumanizing fantasy that interactions with other human beings are some kind of skills test that we can "win" at by saying everything exactly "right". you can know all the right words and still be totally loathesome to be around
