Chromosomes and hormones are more complicated and vastly more varied across individuals than was previously thought; even if you wanna be a tool about acknowledging intersex issues, these things aren’t binary; and no discounting “artificial” hormones, bc some cisfolk use them too

In conclusion TERFism is fucking absurd and poisonous and does real harm to vulnerable people just trying to exist. GTFOH with that bullshit.

Jumping back on this thread to say that if an individual trans person refers to their life pre-transition or pre-realisation-of-transness by saying “when I was [gender assigned at birth]” that’s their choice and it’s fine! It’s not a gotcha! for Being Trans Is Fake Actually -

- it just means that gender and identity are, as mentioned, complicated. A trans woman who didn’t understand herself until well into adulthood will have different experiences to a trans girl who identified as such at a young age and was supported by her family pre-puberty.

Similarly, the fact that some people detransition or don’t want to medically transition in the first place? It’s fine! Figuring yourself out can be hard actually, even if the only difficulty is getting other people understand where you’re at or that it’s not their business!

You know that video of the anti-masker dude throwing an absolute TANTRUM and then taking his dick out in the shops? TERFs are like that guy, only instead of showing their own genitals they’re grabbing the pants of the person they’re yelling at.

I recently saw the suggestion that we start referring to the "external genitals are the definition of gender" crowd as cis-fetishists.

As an American man, I think being overly interested in other people's genitals in a public restroom is creepy as hell unless that person is a baby whose diaper you are changing. You do your business in your stall, I'm gonna do my business in mine.

People scared of unisex bathrooms should avoid becoming disabled: accessible toilets are almost never gender-segregated.
