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 …

Replying to @Gwynnion
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

I think part of the reason Jesse is so fucking angry is that he's in a position of intense cognitive dissonance — he has to launder genocidal, fascist transphobia, but he also has to package it in a way which is acceptable to middle-class white parents. That'd stress me out too

Replying to @eigenvectrix @lisaquestions and
I don't even mean "it'd stress me out because it's bad." I mean "it'd stress me out because waking up every day making a superficially consistent argument for how genocide is fine actually, while actively anti-realising that one is doing so, must generate huge cognitive load."

Jesse's TERF friends are all yelling at him for his hypocrisy in "throwing Glinner under the bus" and honestly they're right to do so

I like how a lot of transphobes are going nearly too-mask-off for even themselves lately, like Glinner creating a HER account

If there's one thing I like about modern existence, it's that a world that allows the free passage of information makes identifying and highlighting the contradictions of capital, and its defence mechanisms, much easier
