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

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
