      I just want to add that the last freakout about celebrity trans people I remember was TERFs flipping out about an interview with Halsey about coming out as non-binary With Halsey saying "I've always had feelings like this but it wasn't until I had a kid that they solidified"https://twitter.com/drdevonprice/status/1377629446841237508 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      Devon Price @drdevonprice
      Noticing TERF detransitioners talking amongst themselves lately about how getting pregnant helped w their gender dysphoria. Which adds a new sinister layer to their resistance to young trans people getting blockers & their emphasis on "alternate treatments" for transness

      TERFs were real mad about that, like tearing their hair out "This doesn't make SENSE How could GETTING PREGNANT and GIVING BIRTH be the one thing that makes you feel LESS like a woman" Well, work through the logic Karen She believed in the same narrative you're pushing

      And the narrative failed It fails a lot of people, a HUGE NUMBER of people completely internalize the narrative "Well, maybe this whole 'woman' thing will make sense to me after I get pregnant, which is the Purpose of Womanhood and all" and then it just doesn't

      This kind of thing applies to everyone, of course, even if you don't have a uterus AMAB people get bombarded with "You'll know what 'being a man' REALLY means once you get a girlfriend, once you get married, once you have a kid" It's less intense but it's there

          The thing is because of the hypervisibility of trans women and because of the distorted, performative radfem narrative TERFs have appropriated as their intellectual justification, this got worked through a lot faster

          On the one hand they're still saying "Young trans women coming out are just incels who don't want to be men because they'll never be a husband or father" On the other hand, they point to trans women with families coming out in middle age as "This is just MORE MALE SELFISHNESS"

          "They've reaped all the BENEFITS of manhood and now they want MORE" (An incredible thing to argue, as though coming out as a trans woman in middle age doesn't have quite extreme costs that exactly correlate to the level of "benefits" previously earned in the closet)

          (They could make this exact same argument about trans men who come out in middle age after having kids but they avoid it as hard as possible, helping contribute to the invisibility of older trans men, whom they prefer to pretend do not exist)

          (Because admitting there are any social "benefits" to cis female motherhood flies in the face of their entire narrative)
