op of this post has stated that "the trans movement itself, whilst initially a transgression of gender norms spearheaded by primarily homosexual men, now unfortunately comes attached to an ideology that seems to attach intangible identity-souls to people, the existence of which can only be brought into harmony via the use of experimental lifelong hormone treatments."

just as a heads up.

if you feel like it/when you get a chance, can you ramble about avery stuff you don't usually get a chance to? this is a free pass to talk about whatever you want to

I had to really think about this lol, debating what Rare Avery Lore I feel like is worth sharing.

I guess I don’t talk much about his life pre-war beyond vague references. Avery and his older brother Bentley were always super close with their father growing up. Their mom was still in the picture, she and their dad went through a divorce when Avery was 10. She was still in their lives though sparingly. Or— technically, she was just less present in Avery’s life. I won’t go into gory details here because I’m aware it can be a touchy subject, but she was much less open to the idea of raising two sons as opposed to a son and a daughter. She didn’t bother fighting it much, instead opted for the oh-so classy route of ignoring Avery. Out of sight out of mind. Anyway.

Their dad tried his best to counterbalance their mom’s decisions by being as present in their lives as he could. I wouldn’t describe their dad as being great at…. The parenting part of parenting, but he knew how to be a friend to his kids. A specific detail about their childhood that exemplifies that comes to mind: their dad taught them both to drive in an old work truck but he owned a much nicer Corvega that only ever got brought out of the garage for occasional joyrides. Avery and Ben were only allowed to drive that car if they needed to impress a date. (Which worked out fine until Avery crashed it when he was 17.) Much later down the road Avery makes the comparison between impressing a high school crush with his dad’s shiny car to impressing Danse with modified power armor. Danse does not think those two things are one-to-one comparisons.

it is so easy for strangers to harass and deadname any trans person with a wikipedia page. it's ridiculous

wikipedia is factually correct, but I have no idea if this is a good or bad thing, just that I don't like it

[useless-englandfacts]

the cass review into gender care on the NHS is depressing in many ways, but one of the most nonsensical aspects of it is how they’ve chosen to define a child as anyone under 25:

so you can vote, join the military, pay taxes, get married, have children, attend - and finish - university but you’re still not a mature adult capable of making life-changing decisions

[carlyraejepsans]

genuinely you need to love the trans girls in your life with everything you have. love them until your heart bursts.

[thehealingsystem]

currently crying as I'm writing this but uh I reeeaallyy wonder when people are gonna decide to leave us lesbians with unconventional gender identities alone. please leave the teenage bigender lesbian alone. they're a young girl in high school who likes other girls whom their mother will never accept and has to hide their relationships, and forever hide their heartache after they fail. please leave the transmasc lesbian alone. people will whisper behind his back about how much of a tranny he is while expressing disgust when he holds hands with a girl. please leave the nonbinary lesbian or just transfem lesbian alone whom is too masc or man-leaning for your taste, whether that be because they're amab or a nonbinary guy, they're trying super hard just to live and can barely pass and is forced to hide or else people will accuse them of invading spaces or being a predator. I know you won't ever see us as deserving of the lesbian label- no matter how much we present like a cis girl or how much we've been discriminated against for our attraction, from my experience- but we're just trying to make it by too. I'm tired of just trying to convince people I'm allowed to exist. not be in spaces, be in communities, exist. please leave me alone. please leave trans lesbians alone.

hi i’m sorry if this is too heavy of a question, but i was told that Testosterone HRT can make you die sooner if you go in it vs. if you don’t? is this true? i’ve tried looking up medical articles but i’m not good with researching this kind of thing and i’m not currently seeing a doctor so i can’t ask them. thanks for the help

hi there!

fortunately for you, and everyone who takes testosterone HRT: that is a trans(andro)phobic, antimasculine, butchphobic, and intersexist myth spread by radfems. there is no scientific or medical basis in anyone who has higher testosterone levels will guaranteed have a shortened lifespan

what is happening when people propose that argument is they are taking what can possibly happen to some people who have high T and/or take testosterone HRT and blow it way out of proportion. some of the POSSIBLE complications testosterone HRT COULD present are:

high/elevated blood pressure in some people

increased red blood cell production, which Can lead to easier clotting if blood is not donated or medications are not taken to thin the blood in some people

reproductive health issues in some people

liver and/or kidney damage in some people who are prone to liver/kidney issues, and/or take more testosterone than prescribed

there can be other complications, but the point stands that these are all potential things that can happen to some people. not every person who takes T gets elevated blood pressure, for example. many people had low blood pressure beforehand and find that they are more stabilized. many people who previously were underweight benefit from a bit of weight gain. most people who take T do not overproduce red blood cells in a dangerous amount, but in folks who do, there are options to mitigate this.

some people cannot take T due to health issues, and that's okay, that person is not detransitioning in order to preserve their health. these people deserve to have their situations taken seriously. but, not everyone faces health troubles due to starting hormones. people can also have adverse affects on health when taking estrogen. there is always a risk of harming one's self when introducing substances into the body in higher amounts than it was previously used to.

most people have some levels of both estrogens and testosterone in them at all times. elevating or lowering anything can cause a shock to the system but a lot of the time, these things are temporary or can be solved with medication. many people just never experience any of this. there's no guarantee that anyone will be harmed by taking testosterone HRT

i hope that helps! i can't believe this has gotten to be so widespread. i appreciate you taking the time to ask. i've been on T for 9 years. had my heart checked last year because i had an extra beat that was unnerving me due to being constantly exposed to cigarette smoke. my heart is healthy, my blood pressure is easily managed by 1 medication, i don't have an issue with blood clots, and my liver and kidneys have been checked twice within the past year and they're good to go as well. people just assume that testosterone is evil ands pread the myth that it'll kill you because of antimasculism, trans(andro)phobia, butchphobia, intersexism, and man hating.

radfems have been trying to do everything in their power to turn people off of T because of how badly they hate men and mascs. if you want to look into starting T, your prescriber will run a lot of tests to make sure you are in good health for it. if not you may be able to use very low dose T. most people do not experience adverse health effects inherently due to T. i hope this helps!

take care! feel free to have any more questions you may have

[redstonedust]

do you ever think about how the mainstream transphobic talking points about trans women are how they're imposing their gender on other people (bathroom bills, sports bans, age old jokes about them tricking men, etc) and meanwhile whenever trans men come up it's about how their gender is being imposed on them (ie. caterwauling about detransitioning and puberty blockers and 'confused tomboys'). its probably just being grandfathered in from patriarchal viewpoints of gender but it's remarkably consistent. i don't think i've ever seen anyone concerned about trans men 'invading' mens spaces except in like. niche gay sex clubs. and even then those clubs can be more trans positive than your average womens public bathroom.

omg you pass so well I wouldn’t even be able to tell that you are— sorry, were a girl until you told me! you look like a real— sorry, cis man! usually I can tell who is a tranny— sorry, transperson at first glance but you look soooo good 😌

[traaansfem]

Keep getting gendered femme, which is flattering, but i'm going to have to shatter the ego of the next dudebro lookin fucker to wolf whistle at me.

The current plan is to stare them dead in the eye, tell them "My girlfriend has a bigger dick than you, and mine is bigger than hers."

It's that or the forcefem basement, and to honest, that's still under construction.

are trans men really just "angrier because of the testosterone" or are you just saying and doing things to upset and anger trans men

[mimsyaf]

As the mother of an intersex little girl, the blowup of asshole online commentary and ignorant news articles about Imane Khelif has made me so angry I could bite someone. Not figuratively. LITERALLY.

JKR now just fully posting anti-intersex hate, and the response from like Newsweek is just SO FUCKING IGNORANT AND STUPID AND CRUEL.

People online calling anyone with XY chromosomes a man, and this is the hellscape that my five year old (pink-wearing, Elsa-worshipping, high femme) little girl has to look forward to?

Oh, curse them all to hell, these fucking racist TERFs. I mean it.

To be clear: JKR’s anti-trans hate crusade is one of the most wildly harmful positions I’ve ever seen, with devastating implications for trans people world-wide. She’s PERSONALLY responsible for setting trans rights in the UK back decades.

She was already the Devil’s own tool for spreading misery on earth.

But she just came for the intersex community, which is my child’s community. She did and now so many others did too. And I am so angry. I have never been so angry in my life.

One last thing: Imane Khelif has never publicly identified as either trans or intersex. She was assigned female at birth. Mind you I support trans athletes but she is not a trans athlete. There’s a lot of speculation in the news that she could be intersex but to be clear the only people who would know that for sure are Imane Khelif and her medical team.

JK Rowling supports cisgender women so much that she just spewed hate all over two cisgender female Olympic athletes, focusing a terrifying amount of negative attention on them at what should be an exciting occasion. All while ignoring the ACTUAL RAPIST of a twelve year old girl who is competing on the Dutch volleyball team this year, but go off I guess.

Where is the goat from Drag Me To Hell, I need that motherfucker to hie itself off to a certain moldy castle in Scotland and camp out for a few days.

people will tut-tut and lecture trans women for not embracing cis self-described “femboys” as if they’re not extremely hostile, ignorant, and transmisogynistic toward us

this is someone who thinks that trans people transition just to Become Hotter, denigrates trans people for not being attractive enough to them, and preys on trans people’s physical insecurities

(if you haven’t, really think for a second about someone conceptualizing HRT as a substitute for dieting. if that isn’t immediately flooring you, turn it around in your head for a bit. particularly think about what trans women on HRT often want from hormones)

self-described “femboys” in general deeply resent trans women. they still moan and whine at trans women “erasing femboy representation” over Bridget Guiltygear canonically being recognized as a trans woman. “femboy” itself isn’t a generic term for feminine or GNC men, it’s a transmisogynistic epithet from fetish shit focused on misgendering trans women, just like “trap”

but trans women are blamed and denigrated as Closeminded, Bigoted, and Making Everything About Us when we’re not friendly toward cis dudes who not only refer to themselves by that epithet, but also constantly harass and misgender us for being trans women. deranged
