This is a really fantastic, fair piece, and the author nails one of the reasons it’s often impossible to get to the nub of anti-trans logic on Twitter, because authors use a tone that “anticipates applause”:https://www.thecut.com/article/who-did-j-k-rowling-become.html …

It’s not the denial of trans people. Rather the negation of women, the consistent labeling (not chosen by us) of cis, Terf etc.

"TERF" was originally coined by other feminists. If you don't like the prefix cis, take that one up with the Romans. Trans people aren't responsible for either of those two things.

I loved
@alisonphipps account of fear & relation to policy. Years ago, I had an email conversation with a prominent British transphobe that really did rest, irreconcilably, on stranger-danger. Comparisons to similar fears in others about race or sexuality did not move her at all. -
This is fundamentally what it all comes down to. And as Alison says, the fears are real, phenomenologically speaking. But we can't make policy based on people's fears. The issue is, though, you also cannot reason people out of positions they didn't reason themselves into

I got told I “admire” Yaniv by a pretty well-known Scottish poet, cos I made fun of his obsession with that individual to the point he was writing poems about it. I’m a survivor of CSA myself ffs.
