I'm sorry, I'm just some back-alley tranny who yaps about the mutability of sex; I'm not a civil rights lawyer. But what exactly do you mean that a SCOTUS Justice is practically screaming for lawyers to argue on the basis that TRANS PEOPLE CHANGE HOW THEIR GENDER IS PERCEIVED and it's not happening?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE LAWYERS CONCEDED THAT 'SEX' REFERS ONLY TO ASSIGNED SEX AT BIRTH
Own up to it if you have any intent of taking accountability instead of sweeping it under the rug. You had someone who posthumously misgendered Brianna Ghey write an article questioning the relevance of Pride. What the actual fuck is wrong with you people?
I've been thinking a lot about this snippet of Foucault that Judith Butler cited in 'Gender Trouble'. 'Sex' is often held in these legal opinions to be a 'self-evident' and 'immutable' category, eliding how it is an agglomeration of variable and varied traits given meaning for regulatory reasons.
I'm Indian. And a victim of rape. In India, the criminal penalty for raping trans women is literally less harsh than the penalty for raping cis women. If we ever report it at all.
Society at large fundamentally believed that being raped and assaulted is trans women's purpose. Friends of mine have been told by transphobic activists that trans women are always "asking for it" because they believe sexual assault affirms us. We experience disproportionately high rates of assault.

My absolute favourite comment so far. Yeah, this is how the funny boob fic ended. Wild.
This is the image. It's fine to draw trans women as legibly women because we are women. It is subversive to draw trans women like this because most depictions of trans women intentionally exaggerate 'innate' masculine features with an 'artifice' of femininity, denying transition's efficacy.
Stay tuned for more information and previews on the Patreon, and we'll see you in August :) www.patreon.com/TaliaBhattWr...
Announcing 'Attack Dogs', the new serialized sci-fi epic from @mzakharuk.bsky.social and me! Inspired by works such as 'Gundam: The Witch From Mercury' and 'Ghost in the Shell', our new project is sure to be of interest to fans of 'Gunmetal Olympus' and the mechsploitation genre.
Alright, there you go. Not that dropping a correct conclusion towards the end excuses the previous abysmal analysis.
I don't even know where to fucking begin with this. It's the same fight, same propagandists, same talking points recycled into anti-trans ones and now revised for a renewed push against so-called "LGB" rights. They didn't accept gay marriage, they fucking regrouped and picked a new attack vector.
To pretend that violence is an inevitable consequence of queer visibility, that the backlash and abandonment by cis people just couldn't be helped or avoided, is to blame trans people for the pursuit of dignified and legible lives outside the margins. Fuck off with this.
this video title hit me like a meteor, EXCUSE YOU?
The study was her big gesture to indicate that she wasn't an anti-trans crank, so now that the study *she recommended* is under attack by the people she sold out to, she's realising just how deep in the sauce they are and admitting what we already knew. Actually Wakefield 2.0
Queer theory has such a fetishistic and extractive relationship with transfemininity it boggles the mind
You see, since all the stigma was shouldered by the penetrable effeminate homosexual male and "normal" men could fuck them, the 30s and 40s were less homophobic than the following decades---
WESTERN THIRD GENDER LET'S FREAKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Only four matches for the word "transgender" in this book; all matches are references to the titles of other works.
