Trouble and strife can cover this world like the dark of night. And when that happens, all good, true, and decent people know that it's time to volunteer.
After Giggle v Tickle, anyone continuing to argue that "gender and sex are two different things" and "no one is claiming to change sex", is either intentionally disingenuous or deliberately ignorant.
Here's a thread of people claiming to have changed sex/sex can be changed:
Somebody save me, my coworkers are discussing pronouns. Most aren't really on board but our self-described 'office karen' is now giving us a lecture about the levels of microaggressions. I don't know how much longer I can keep my mouth shut 😑
@memeticsisyphus
I don't think people who don't have family like this can fully understand it. Constant bar fights, unable to get a job because of assault records from the bar fights, dating people who steal from them, squabbling over wills, unexpected babies, everyone is always out to get them
I watched the
#boycottulta
interview so you don't have to.
It's 50 minutes of two men explaining womanhood while calling each other 'babe'
It's genuinely way too long for how little it really says
The interview is David Lopez (DL) and Dylan Mulvaney (DM).

That study has major methodological issues, as it includes homosexuals, which its own references describe as a confounding variable.
When homosexuality is properly controlled for, these results are not replicated & sexually dimorphic areas of the brain remain consistent with sex
@IanCopeland5
@SciLibertarian
If you look at the literature as a whole, rather than just taking one study definitive, the only studies that show TW having a shift, are not properly controlled for.
One example of a study controlling for homosexuality:

I would encourage you to look at the literature as a whole. It takes more than reading just one or two papers to fully understand the problems these authors are struggling with

DL "I always related with and understood femininity in a way that I could wear more comfortably than masculinity"
I thought gender was more than a costume to them?
@JamesEsses
Did you see his comments? He's actually upset that people asked relevant questions based on the content of the slides he presented.
Like has this guy never given a talk before?
@MalesOfReddit
I don't understand why every sex-associated difference has to be a 'stigma'. Differences exist & it doesn't make anyone inferior to acknowledge it. I feel like we can all play to our own strengths better when they are acknowledged, rather than pretending we're all exactly equal
DM "When I came out publicly as a girl that first day, I had no idea what girlhood was. That's the whole point, I still don't."
I thought that TIMs had 'gendered souls' and 'women's brains', why would he not know?
Can't believe I'm cool enough to be on the transphobe list!
I'd like to thank all my high school teachers and undergrad professors for teaching me biology, I wouldn't be here without them
@GrantJupiter
I feel the same way about the 2000s! I can't imagine how many of my emo friends would have been medicalized for trying to emulate our favorite bands
@MalesOfReddit
Men like this got me kicked out of my PCOS support group. I questioned why men were allowed, as they do not have ovaries and therefore cannot have PCOS, and I was told that a) saying men don't have ovaries is transphobic, and b) enough of their problems overlap with ours 🙄🙄
@AllicoXyz
@MalesOfReddit
100% narcissism. TIMs like to pretend that they're the only ones to take supplemental hormones and therefore cannot have any of their claims questioned but ask any woman on hormone therapy after hysterectomy and she'll tell you it's all a load of bullshit

Dude what is a 'white space'? I immediately think of a country club or some shit lmao
Maybe this is just me, but I don't take inventory of the race or sex of everyone in a room??

My work banned box cutters because they were afraid we'd cut ourselves, but since it's a hospital, the mail room now has a pile of scalpels instead 😂

Also not sure why they think that taking the same dose of the same hormone will somehow create a 'cycle'...and they call us the ones who don't understand biology
"Roxanne Tickle is a transgender woman whose female sex is recognized by an official updated Queensland birth certificate."
What an absurd thing to say, this suit would not exist if he were actually female
Women’s rights to assemble and to provide female only services away from males no longer exists in Australia. Here is the verdict in full.

I'm a cytotechnologist (cells are my job) and there are so many places in your body that are made up of stratified squamous cells, that literally doesn't mean anything.
If you have a tube made from cheek cells, that doesn't make you a woman just because it's the same cell type

>lining not thick enough and mucus is getting through
ffs none of these people understand how the human body works in the slightest, your colon isn't just constantly leaking into the interstitial space of your body

@MalesOfReddit
This is what happens when you ban discussion of surgical complications and reply to every picture of necrotic tissue falling off with 'looks AMAZING girlie'
This is shameful.
Growing up in Nebraska, I did sports year round.
I can't imagine the sense of injustice girls must feel to be told that they should "grow up", and allow cheating boys to steal their prizes and scholarships
It can be hard, when we're young, to not win a trophy sometimes. But we grow up and realize it’s not the end of the world and we don't need to turn that loss into our entire personality.
Why Are Terfs So Mean?
/r/mtf tries to find the answer.
Before reading more, try to guess how many times they mention self-id, men in women's prisons, attempts to eliminate sex-based protections and sex-segregated spaces, or coerced speech
(Hint: the answer is 0)
DL "Honoring curiosity and respect in everyone's journey, I'm curious [goes on to question]"
The way that DL talks takes me back to college, so full of postmodernism and unwillingness to be concise, it feels like he's intentionally trying to be anodyne to disarm women
@ilovepreserves
"this is a violent act"
The dramatics of a man who used to race with men, switched to cheated women out of prizes, and now has to race with men again 🙄

If sex wasn't able to be differentiated in 1826, how did they know who to deny suffrage to? To deny higher education? Which slaves to rape? Who to deny bank accounts? Who to deny property?
It's a patently ahistorical idea
Women with PCOS are women.
Hormones are not a determining factor of sex.
Having a hormone condition does not make me a man, nor does it make me intersex.

I tried to interpret your tweet as generously as possible, cited the source that I thought you misinterpreted (which in a different thread you confirmed was the source you were using), and you call me a bigot?
Correcting scientific misinformation is not bigotry.
Attention conservatives:
With every mass shooting where you choose to do nothing, my willingness to compromise wanes.
Today I’ll settle for training requirements and background checks. Keep ignoring this, and I’ll support an outright ban.
Fuck around and find out.
How can you give a talk about gender to medical professionals and then a) be surprised when they ask relevant questions about the slides presented, and b) complain that questions addressed sex when sex is more medically relevant than gender
Has this guy never given a talk before?
@FTFDesert
My current strategy is totally feigning ignorance and making her explain it!
Kinda backfired when I was treated to a never ending lecture about the harms of deadnaming tho
Someone has resigned because the questions from Dr. Hartland's talk were so bad.
The talk was saved as a webinar, why won't anyone tell us what any of the 45 questions were?

I genuinely can't believe people argue this after that New York shooter specifically said he picked his location because it was a gun free zone and no one would be able to stop him
