They complain whether a trans woman is honoured as a woman or as a person. Even a modest honour as the 27th most influential person in a single city in a single year gets the same response! pic.twitter.com/pWHSTzGwT1

Liana's thread is pretty banging but as I read it i noticed every tweet had like its own rabbit hole of extra information that could be included and thats probably why we havent moved particularly far forwards since transphobes started being taken seriously by the media.

Weaponization of white femininity and use of the traditional nuclear family unit to absolve herself of being a figure head of a movement that seeks to brutally oppress a marginalized group.

Dear "gender critical" cultists,

You are not entitled to ask me to describe my intersex condition to you, which would necessitate talking about my genitals and sexual development.
You have no right or need to know intimate details of my body.
Lol at anti trans activists calling Genital Reassignment Surgery "experimental". It's nearly 100 years old
— K80 Montgomerie 🦗 (@KatyMontgomerie) November 4, 2022
They just call all trans healthcare "experimental" to make it sound riskier than it is
Homophobes: gay people using the term marriage devalues my own marriage. They are not married - that is defined as between one man and one woman. Gay people have the same rights as everyone else - to marry someone of the opposite sex

Transphobes: trans women calling themselves women devalues my own womanhood. They are not women - that is defined as producing large gametes. Trans people have the same rights as everyone else - to use the facilities assigned to them by their observed sex at birth

You shouldn’t need to be personally affected to care about trans people but it seems that’s where we are so let me be clear:
— Kat Abu (@abughazalehkat) October 31, 2022
Fascists are building their campaign by attacking trans people. But they’re not going to stop there.
When terfs say they want to rescue and save transmascs/men they mean forcibly detransition and have us coercively raped until we accept submissive tradwife status just so you’re aware lol implying terfs mean “save” & “rescue” in any genuine sense is…so far removed from reality

I think it's really tempting to for well-intentioned cis people to look at trans folks talking about normal things on the internet and assume that bc we're talking about normal things, our situation must not be so dire.
— Alex (he/him) loves 🦇🦇🦇! (@AlexPetrovnia) October 31, 2022
We talk about normal things bc we're all in avoidant panic.
TERFs: this 19-year-old is still a child and cannot be trusted to make decisions with life-altering consequences
— Evan (@evantesseract) October 31, 2022
Also TERFs: this 14-year-old is big and is therefore not a child
I wish we’d stop talking about gnc cis women being policed in bathrooms as some sort of “splash effect” from transphobia. Transphobia is about enforcing the bounds of patriarchal gender… harassing gnc cis women is absolutely part of that.

Prediction: if the government actually legislates to ban trans women from womens toilets, it will only have one observable effect on incidents of crime in women's toilets; a sharp increase of "gender critical" women and men attacking cis women they've mistaken for trans women.

I honestly worry a lot more about normal people whose gut tells them that there's some sense in the trans-accepting side of the "debate" and some sense in the anti-trans side, than I do about comitted transphobes.

The only children having their genitals mutilated are intersex babies who are forced to undergo surgeries at birth to conform them to a societal binary.

You’d think transphobes would care, yet every law targeting trans kids carve out exceptions for these practices to continue.
Kellie-Jay Keen, who goes by the pseudonym Posie Parker, is on a speaking tour in the USA. She’s the head of a group, Standing for Women, which says it supports free speech and women’s sex-based rights. It is virulently transphobic. #transtwitter https://t.co/fqh6rGcubd

This is not the first time a cis person has called for the ‘debate’ to be less ‘toxic’.
Some thoughts
1/2
A journalist pal at the BBC explained it to me last week. The mentality is that trans is seen as a ‘women’s issue’ - with trans people not viewed as being women (or men) but as a separate distinct species. The priority is on how ‘women’ feel (all of them GC) about letting us in.

I need to again say this, so that it is clear to the news outlets and nonprofits that follow me:
— Alyssa MacKenzie 💜 (@AlyAlyOutnFree) October 28, 2022
The FL Board of Medicine just replied ‘that’s okay’ when told trans kids would die because of this proposal and that their blood was on their hands.
I want to also say this, so that every ally and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community understands:
— Alyssa MacKenzie 💜 (@AlyAlyOutnFree) October 28, 2022
The FL Board of Medicine said, on the record, ‘you’re not going to win’ when told this proposal would kill trans kids.
Todays FL BofM meeting was a clear message to every single trans child, parent, relative, classmate, friend or grandparent: ‘your trans child’s life does not matter to us.’
— Alyssa MacKenzie 💜 (@AlyAlyOutnFree) October 28, 2022
They were told ‘their blood is on your hands’.
They actually replied, on mic, ‘that’s okay.’
The anti-trans experts and politicians in that Florida healthcare ban hearing are talking about putting trans people who seek treatment on a registry, in case you think trans peoples’ fears are out of proportion right now.
— Lyra, Esq., is NOT DAREDEVIL (@PinkRangerLB) October 28, 2022
There's a reason they had the Florida Medical Board meeting in a airport. All of the anti trans people had to be flown in from out of state. Here they are leaving for their flights to go terrorize trans people in other states. pic.twitter.com/MqLsGLhu7v

They appeared to briefly consider allowing those already on HRT and puberty blockers to continue, but they scrapped that last minute.

They considered adding all trans youth to a Florida registry but will take that up at another time.
This is genocide. It is happening now.
Florida board of medicine is cutting off comment early.

Question for Gender Critical people:
— K80 Montgomerie 🦗 (@KatyMontgomerie) October 25, 2022
Do you want a world without trans people? I'm not asking if you want to put us in death camps, I'm asking if we exist in your utopian future
If yes, what do you think of people who say no? If no, how do you justify that?

— emmy zje ✨🌘 (@emmy_zje) June 23, 2022
I don’t identify as trans, I’m just a woman. Society calls me trans because of my unique path to womanhood.
Why would any trans person applying for a job tell their potential employer they were trans if they didn't have to for their own safety or peace of mind? It's irrelevant.
— K80 Montgomerie 🦗 (@KatyMontgomerie) October 19, 2022
Something that's come up at trial a lot is how coming out and transitioning allowed the trans plaintiffs to imagine their future. Ambitions, careers, colleges--all of which were beyond the scope of their closeted imagination--now suddenly seem possible and necessary.
— Gillian Branstetter (@GBBranstetter) October 21, 2022
embarrassing how people admit over and over again that they think trans men "pass better" and "have it easier" simply because if someone doesn't pass easily and swiftly they don't see them as a "real" trans man

"The nature of prejudice is to seek out the extreme and the hypothetical and use it to tar an entire minority in order to lay the foundations for discrimination". https://t.co/xL5pBC0g2d
so cis white women, stop comparing trans women to blackface, because doing so exposes your own anti-Black racism, as well as your desperation to mischaracterize another oppressed population (trans women) as an oppressor

It's so weird how the people who go on about how trans peoples legal recognition is a ~legal fiction~ now live in a legal fantasy world where the Equality Act works in the complete opposite way to how it's written and all case law has shown it to work.

Wacky & unserious people.
It was inevitable that they'd start calling for the imprisonment of LGBTQ people and their allies. When you use terms like "sexual mutilation" to describe the standards of care for gender dysphoria endorsed by all major medical orgs, the only rational outcome for them is prison. pic.twitter.com/tODz2Wnkft

Transphobia is rife. It's been in every mainstream newspaper, every day, for years. It's on BBC, Sky News, RTE, Channel 4. It's all over social media of course. ‘Polls say that trans rights' support has fallen.’ ‘Transphobic hate crimes are on the rise.’ Who can explain it? 1/
