      Interesting to read that the author was assigned this idea and struggled to come up with a way to justify it.https://twitter.com/e_urq/status/1364935376708784129 …

      I'm days late on writing something about anti-trans legislation and it's extremely unlike me... but my editor wanted an unpacking of how anti-trans efforts are a form of eugenics and I'm really struggling with that.

      Replying to @Rolnikov @SwipeWright @Slate

      That's an unfair reading. The thread clearly says that I struggled with the fertility aspect, which targets trans men far more harshly than trans women, but felt a little outside the scope of the general case I was asked to make.

      Nothing about the specific case of trans men being targets for eugenics like fertility measures even more strongly weakens the general case.

      Replying to @e_urq @Rolnikov and

      In the end I decided to write a second piece about the specific ways trans men's fertility is coerced and our bodies are treated like we're no more than birthing sows, which is to come. I think you'll find it does not weaken the essay I've already written in any way.

      During a trans male's transition? Yes, it's part of informed consent.

      No worries, I wasn't offended. Trans men are counseled that hormone therapy likely reduces fertility over time, but one can most likely cease treatment in the first 2-3 yrs and become pregnant afterwards if one wishes. Some doctors may say hysterectomy is advised after 10 yrs.

      As someone who transitioned in my 30s and experienced lifelong gender dysphoria until that point, I'd use the word miraculous. I spent my whole life feeling terrible, and transition cleared my symptoms up. 5 yrs later it's clearly the best decision I've ever made for myself.

          Only five years after is a bit early to judge whether a life-changing decision was a good idea, whether we're talking about a marriage or a medical treatment. Many transitioners experience crippling atrophy or other side effects after 10 or 15 years. I hope you have better luck.
