I think I need to take a break from Twitter.
The relentless bigotry & authoritarianism of the MAGA GOP, Torys, religious extremists is getting to me.
But when I tried to pull back to just ballet Twitter for succour, the 1st post was another of these evil, twisted attacks.

She sat there on the bleachers totally exposed to a gunman (with a teacher) because the school district was too transphobic.
She knew, her classmates knew, her teachers knew that she was to be sacrificed to uphold the school district’s bigotry.
@ErinInTheMorn
What’s scarier are all of those who claim LGBTQ+ people are
Overreacting
Making this up
He doesn’t really mean it
Not everyone agrees with him (not ‘everyone’?? That’s reassuring!)
It’s a reasonable response
It’s all the fault of LGBTQ+
LGBTQ ‘deserve it’.
@KatyMontgomerie
Gee, sounds like a lot of those ex-gay people who finally admitted that the conversion therapy didn’t work & they are in fact still gay.
@NoostyDriver
IIRC, the young lady was taking gym in middle school or high school.
Plan: girls & women to shelter in the girl’s locker room.
Boys & men in the boys’ locker room.
School didn’t allow young lady to use girls’ locker room & male coaches didn’t want her in boys’. So bleachers
@USConst_Amend_I
There is a strong correlation in America between increasing strength of MAGA/“patriot”/RW/fundamentalist beliefs and steeply declining knowledge of the American Constitution & laws, i.e., those documents they claim to revere & “protect” so much.
Case in point: see OP.

@AlyAlyOutnFree
I wish Alyssa was wrong.
I fear she is dead on.
The new FLA restrictions & Michael Knowles calling openly for eradicating “transgenderism”
Traditionally America was a place refugees fled to.
Now America is a country refugees need to flee from.

LOL!
I had a demanding (i.e., abusive) client who yelled a lot and wanted things NOW!
1 night I was holding my crying 2-year-old on my shoulder as he was wailing “Babba! Want babba!”
Epiphany: my client acted just like a 2-year-old.
Both happier when I treated him that way.

This is one of several instances where actors played a different gender & suffered gender dysphoria as a result.
That‘s for someone who knows it’s temporary, knows the makeup & prosthetics come off at the end of the shoot that day.
it’s worse for trans people
@noraflanagan
One other facet of roller derby that others should see:
Trans women do not dominate or take over. Trans, NB, & GNC skaters have not ended this women’s sport for women.
This directly contradicts the wild moral panic of GOP leaders in red states, FPFW, & other anti-trans people
@theneonrequiem
You sound exactly like homophobic religious leaders claiming they know gay people better than they know themselves & fighting so save as many gay people as possible
“Even if it feels like [they] are trying to eradicate, invalidate or discriminate
You have become your oppressors
@DrProudman
The Justices have now handed an incentive for attackers to be as brutal as possible as soon as possible to render their victims unconscious quickly.
What a perversion of justice !!
The trial court’s approach - which does not reward the attackers aggression - is far better.
@razorfemme
Far too many people, including therapists, who are not members of a minority & not otherwise at risk, wildly underestimate risks
Of course, if they’re wrong about risk to you “My bad!”
But if you’re wrong, you’re fired, or in hospital, or under arrest for “crime” of being trans

Also, photos shortly after surgery before fully healed and filled in. Exaggerates extent by pretending that short-term condition is permanent.

@ChoooCole
No. The exact opposite is true.
He showed gender is innate and will come out no matter what you do to force a child to be someone he is not.
@AshleyBK7
Similar information is sometimes demanded in anti-trans efforts.
Too often those demanding anti-trans laws to prevent 2-3 trans girls playing in a state do not realise it also impacts 40,000 or so non-trans girls.

Interesting.
These names are part of Muslim colonialism.
Whilst you may have changed Jerusalem’s name to Al-Quds as part of your colonising, you can’t legitimately object to changing its name back.

Black athletes were falsely accused by racists of significant athletic advantages as an excuse of excluding them from competitions with white athletes.
That sounds a lot like what you’re claiming.
@LeorSapir
Note Mr Sapir doesn‘t disagree with the substance of Equity Florida’s warning.
He only objects to letting the teens know about the risks they face.
Makes transphobes like Mr Sapir look bad don’t you know if people find out about it.

Some people are often mistaken for the opposite sex despite never having taken heroic medical steps.
Should these GNC women who “are likely to be mistaken for the opposite sex, at least by some” also be excluded from women’s single-sex spaces?

Thank you for naming Ms Craig.
I’ve seen this many times, typically in Italian restaurants. Do men not know how this makes women feel?
I clench up every time for how uncomfortable, scared, and angry Ms Craig must be judging from the look on her face.

Cute. Poster shows a blue-eyed blonde man in the Garden of Eden.

The only reasonable reply to protect yourself to a guy claiming he has a ‘cold’ wife, a dead bedroom, and is getting a divorce any day now is:
”Wow. That sounds awful. Ring me when you divorce is finalised.”

@AidanCTweets

Again & again & again we see the same fact pattern:

Adult bigot gets a bee in their bonnet (religion &/or extreme RW) and CREATES problems where there were none
Destroying the trans teen is a bonus

Charming lad shows he’s a racist as well as a misogynist.
The sperm donor for this beautiful baby is an immature man; not a husband, not a father, not a boyfriend.
Fascinating that you see his immaturity and childish behaviour as a problem with her instead a problem with him.
@AriDrennen
How did this supposed recent phenomenon ruin the “last 50 years” of his daughter’s life?
He repeats the time period so I don’t think it’s a typo. May be deliberately misleading though.
Diagnostic criteria, treatment, & society were just a little different in 1972.
@TwisterFilm
Concerned that you consider a typical picture of 14-year-old twins “sexualised” and you’re focused on a non-existent “hint of decolletage”.
GC have a strong tendency to sexualise trans people but this is getting ridiculous.
@ButNotTheCity
I doubt Ms Bell feels any responsibility for the impact of her actions.
Instead, she probably feels it is the fault of people pointing out that trans people can transition and those pointing out the real-life consequences of denying or withdrawing medical care from trans teens.

An innocent women who are devastated to learn they had a miscarriage will face intrusive investigations and the confirmation bias of some law enforcement/prosecutors will also ensure that many innocent women go to jail.

Ms Cole was trans & has detransitioned.
Now she is on a vendetta against all trans people. She has struck alliances with & willingly worked with some of the most anti-LGBTQ people & groups such as MTG, Gov DeSantis.
She likes to pretend she’s typical (ignoring that <3% desist)
@WitchesUSA
@JamesEsses
Your tweet is factually incorrect. Trans kids (and cis kids for that matter) routinely deal with gender.
Many trans kids become aware of their gender when their cis classmates do.
Are those cis kids equally wrong?
Or is this purely a double-std objection to trans kids?

GC leaders like DocStock are happy to sacrifice this woman because she doesn’t look feminine enough for DocStock & her GC friends.

I strongly prefer women doctors.
On average, women doctors listen far better than men doctors & studies repeatedly show they give better care.
Also a bad experience with a trusted male doctor makes it hard to trust any male doctor.

@SarahOC_MECFS
Medics - esp male medicos - tend to default very fast to ‘it’s all in your head’ when they don’t know what patients - esp female patients - have.
And part of that lack of knowledge is that medicine focuses on symptoms & conditions of men. Women often present differently.

When my kids were 5-6, both girls & boys played football together.

This is a common fact pattern.
Child transitions at school.
No problems — sometimes for several years.
Adult who is transphobic for religious or ideological reasons finds out
Adult creates problem where none existed before.
@notCursedE
@NickFletcherMP
Because the issue is not ‘reasonable concerns’ or ‘what’s best for all’

Hate & bigotry must be taught.

@crystalwillseeu
No
83 teens denied medical care because of an appalling moral panic similar to that which led to Section 28
Not a word against exact same meds for c!s kids - only denying it for trans kids
You have a double standard: medical care for c!s kids but deni of medical area for trans
@jessesingal

To be blunt, the 1 thing you took from this piece is the exact opposite of what really happens.
