      Trans discourse is stalled at "trans women are women, trans men are men," and TERFs and other bigots are somehow able keep it there with low effort.

      Part of why I don't engage TERFs or the rhetoric is because it's supremely uninteresting to fence at their denials from 9000 different positions.

          Turns out I can do a lot more w/ r.t. trans activism simply by asserting my gender and moving on.

          With due respect to "don't ignore the bigot" arguments, this is one area where I think that rule breaks down. They have managed to completely stagnate us in entry-level discourse.

          And since it's done in bad faith, literally *nothing* we can do can break that. We have to outflank that argument.

          In otherwords, let the TERF be a TERF. Their power exists only insomuch as they have people willing to listen, and we can engage those marks more effectively.

          TERFs operate a very small, easily bypassable gate. They can't be gatekeepers if we just hop the fence.

          That said, fuck Jesse Signal. I hope he falls down an open manhole while namesearching to see what trans people dare challenge his views of how we live.

          I've been trying to engage with them recently taking an egalitarian approach. I recently went through some trauma after my neighbor was assaulted and have been trying to build bridges as therapy. I try to ignore those arguments (very hard) and focus on things we can do to >>>

          address the concerns/fears they have over us like sharing spaces in shelters. The shelter problem is WAY bigger than just trans/TERF. If a black woman is beaten by a group of white women, do we have a space for her???? If not we damn well should!

          I've been trying so hard to push trans and TERF alike to shut up for once with this stupid circular argument and just do something to address the real problem, which is shelters need donations and volunteers desperately, for everyone :/

          It is honestly the same frustration I have with discussing [c]onservative politics - if we agree on some facts, we can discuss the meaning of them, but disagree on BASIC FACTS well shit what can you do?
