Jesse Singal argues "Hey, I'm not a real TERF like Graham Linehan, I do support childhood transition in SOME cases" but then gives criteria for qualifying as "truly" dysphoric that requires threading a needle's eye, and is fucking proud of it

"It SHOULD be hard to qualify! You can't give out scary dangerous drugs willy-nilly! Ken Zucker was just trying to be careful!" etc

And he literally does do this specific double-play He completely freaked out and launched into a rant because he saw an article about a 17-year-old trans boy (an UNDERAGE PATIENT) getting a radical hysterectomy

Jesse really loves to have ragesplosions any time anything good happens to or for a trans person. He goes into massively aggrieved angry rants about how everyone's doing it wrong and this can't be good for his blood pressure

One of his ragesplosions was this random article about "the new non-binary influencers" Mentioning some AMAB enby who said they took a small dose of estradiol every day -- not enough for transition the way trans women do it, but "enough to give me a better hormone balance"

And lol he was SO MAD "What the FUCK Where's the SCIENCE behind this When did this become a thing, I don't see 'non-binary' anywhere in the DSM, who approved this treatment" For someone taking a MUCH LOWER DOSE of those scary hormones, which apparently is WORSE

For the record, I don't see why anyone should feel scared of a Brave New World where people get to tweak their hormone balance as much as they want to get the body and mood they prefer People were ALREADY doing this as long as it was in the "right direction"

If you're a cis dude and you go to your doctor going "I feel like shit all the time, just dissociated and depressed and unmotivated" (symptoms trans people know as "mild dysphoria") and the doctor tests your blood and you're objectively "low-T" you can get a scrip right there

If you don't think those men should be subjected to a battery of psychological tests, "Can you prove that you're objectively 'not manly' enough based on your body's 'natural' T-levels and your life would be improved by being 'manlier'" -- then shut up

And while menopausal/postmenopausal hormone therapy goes in and out of vogue, it's not hard to get estrogen supplements, either. If you’re AFAB.

It's not like menopause isn't "natural"! The "change of life", as they say -- plenty of conservatives used to argue that treating "female problems" with hormones in general was just meddling with God's will and the Curse of Eve (TERFs get really mad when you bring this up)
