To prove you had / have dysphoria, you have to attempt suicide, but then that gets taken as a sign you're mentally ill and therefore, again, can't be trusted to have an accurate accounting of your own life.https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1377739992538050561 …

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"

Cis women taking continuous bc hormones so that they never have to have a period because their monthly experience is so emotionally upsetting. Hell, they even call it PMDysphoricD

One of the weird things about TERFs' 2nd-wave radfem roots is being all confused on this issue Arguing that because patriarchal society's period-shaming is a thing, that means there's nothing "objectively" wrong with menstruating and people who actually want to stop it are wrong

This is what Connie Willis' famous story "Even the Queen" is about, and if you're a youngun who doesn't remember the Discourse from the 70s and 80s it feels like she's just beating up a bizarre strawman the whole time
