‘But data suggests otherwise’ is true of essentially all transphobic witch hunts, but that’s hardly going to stop them.

And this is why any queer person who knows half a lick of history is, at minimum, suspicious of assimilationist sentiments if not outright hostile to them.
🖕 Fuck you too, Pete. You don’t give a shit about fairness, pandering asswipe.

15 skeletons if you include yourself
There is never going to be a Perfect Study that eliminates transphobia, and if nitpicking is what is keeping someone from supporting trans rights, I don’t think they were ever going to be much of a supporter to begin with.
If 10% of people detransitioned because they no longer consider themselves trans it wouldn’t matter, because expressing your gender identity is a basic right everyone has as a human being, regardless of what regrets other people have about their own choices. Nobody is ever going to be able to guarantee you’re not going to wind up regretting any given action you take, that’s just life.
That’s often how transphobes define detransition, because they have to juke every stat they can. (Not saying that’s why the authors are doing it, but they are probably having to navigate a scene filled with data based on that) When bigots say X% detransition, they don’t mention the *re-*transition that many go through, or that many detransitioners don’t “return” to their birth sex identity because they never had a binary gender identity to begin with.
By their definition I’ve detransitioned before when I was off hormones and not making an effort at presenting as male, but it was 100% situational and I knew it was a temporary thing while it was happening.
Transphobes intentionally muddy the water by letting people assume that the colloquial definition most people use—deciding you aren’t transgender and that you want to return to your birth sex—is the same one they’re using. But it’s absolutely not.
How many trans people completely give up not just sports, but many types of exercise altogether. Swimming is particularly fraught, but so are plenty of other activities. There’s this narrative that trans people are beating down the doors to all sports, but for plenty of trans people just being active and healthy is out of reach.
Edit: oop, sorry, didn’t realize this was posted in the transfem community 😅
Are you okay? Sorry if I hurt your feelings by assuming the thing that obviously isn’t a human asshole was AI, when we live in a world swimming in AI slop. I promise to be more judicious in accusing misleadingly labeled images of being AI slop in the future, when in fact they may be photoshop relics of the past, if it will make you feel better.
Interesting! I wonder what they used for the cover art? Because I would bet on my life this is not a human anus.
Is everything in it AI slop, or just the cover image?
Cuddles and not a riot to get fed? Yours is better behaved than mine 😂
I call that genre of Democratic fan ‘vote blue even they kill you.’ Since yeah, that’s more or less what they’re saying in between getting mad about trans people existing as anything other than a hypothetical to debate. Show up and say their political darling of the minute isn’t perfect and out come the justifications and accusations.
