I fucking hate her (CW: Brianna Wu, transmedicalism)
She's coming out as trans as a public service to warn everyone about evil AGPs. Next she's going to come out as a white woman to warn us about The Great Replacement
The OG drug for that began life being tested (but performing poorly) for treating hypertension and angina but displayed a notable side effect. Sort of a "digging for water and striking oil" situation.
Transitioning to certified sex haver on my 40th birthday
fuck people are obsessed, people arent just their gender when theyre fucking, i take my gender out on the fucking town, people actually dont even notice!
I know you mean this in the sense of a grand date, but it's incredibly funny to read it the other way as a form of vandalism to keep property values down. 😄
If your primary interest in being a woman is sexual, I hope you have a plan for your 40’s and onwards
Because we all know the moment a woman hits forty, her sexuality just ceases to exist overnight and they never want to have sex or are sexually desired ever again. Transphobes can’t help but shuttle in some misogyny in with the transphobia.
American CHUDs are the fun police, and one thing they really despise is any sexuality at all. Ideally even in people’s 20s and 30s they should not be having sex and only see straight sex as superior because of the chance a child can be produced which slightly makes up for “the awful act”.
Jokes aside, incels will lower what age "the wall" comes in correlation to what they think the age of consent should be. You'll see them talk about women "hitting the wall" by the end of high school and other gross takes.
Fuck people who spread this narrative that you shouldn't transition unless you feel you have absolutely no other choice. I knew I would have preferred to be a woman for years before I started transitioning, but since I was sometimes "okay" and my depressions mostly seemed unrelated to gender I thought I wasn't trans enough to actually transition because of ideas like this.
Even though I'd never call transitioning easy or innocuous (who does she think is doing this?), it has actually given me the capacity to feel happy and fulfilled and I haven't gone this long without a depressive episode since my early teenage years. But I never felt like I "had" to do it. I could have chosen to lead an empty, unfullfilled life as a cis man for the rest of my life.
Also the last paragraph is weird as fuck and the only people I know who try to reduce the trans experience to something primarily sexual are transphobes. But also, I'm pretty sure you don't need to retire from sex when you pass 40, like is the sex police going to come stop you at that point?
This one hit me so hard. Because I transitioned long ago, and it's just that these assholes have never gone away. It's people who think any experience other than their own is invalid. Back then it was everyone should be tortured by real life test to prove they're trans enough. And they always position themselves spokespeople for the community, because their experience is the only one that matters.
To come out publicly for the first time, just so you can pull the ladder up. Fuck you. These people do so much damage, and delay so many people with their nonsense. They're pure poison and I wish the hurt they do to the community were reflected onto them.
"Social contagion" is such a way of making this point. Are there some trans people who realized they were trans because of the increased visibility and acceptance of trans people? Yeah, definitely. Nobody is "catching trans" from talking to or seeing trans people out in public though. That's simply not a thing. These folks were always trans, but hearing more about the trans experience helped them realize it and embrace their identity. That's a fucking good thing you grifting piece of shit.
I think she may have developed some sense of grandiosity where only she is "the one true trans" because of what she went through and therefore no one else has the shiny certificate.
The first target I know of was Zoe Quinn. She allegedly slept with several games journalists in exchange for good reviews (note that the only source of this information was her bitter ex), which kicked off the whole "ethics in games journalism" shit the chuds kept harping on.
Depression Quest was a free game from the start, and considering how much gladhanding was happening all throughout the bibeo bame industry already and for decades before, it was just half-masked nazis wanting a reason to concentrate their hate.
Transmedicalism is the proposal that trans people are only legitimate if a medical professional says they are. It's saying that being trans is a condition to be treated, not an inherent part of someone's identity.
People like this also tend to say being trans is only valid if HRT and surgery are involved. The reality is someone is trans the moment they declare themselves trans. It's an individual's decision on whether or not they relate to a trans experience, and no medical screening is necessary to authorize them
Transmedicalists believe the only people who should transition are those diagnosed with gender dysphoria. They are anti-DIY and believe in a strict binary.
Being anti-diy was always stupid, but it's especially stupid right now for someone in the US/UK to still be grinding that axe as official care is being made illegal or unobtainable. But the people who push anti-diy are insulated, ig.
As a well meaning ally, what exactly is the problem with "anti-DIY"?
I may be way off base, but messing with your hormones is a big deal and it seems like that is something a Dr should be monitoring?
Does being anti-DIY mean, you want to support people who are suffering and if that means they do this shit without medical supervision so be it, but it really sucks that it comes to that? Cause in order to be safe and effective you really need some people monitoring blood levels and shit? But like, if it's either order hormones from a dodgy website or self-harm, order the goddamn hormones?
she’s been known to be trans for a long time, but before this week has always sidestepped accusations and questions about it. she had a Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy about her gender identity
it couldn't be that the incidence of folks whose life is improved by transition is greater than the special kinds of privileged and extremely long-suffering women who were able to jump through the hoops of the old gatekept process that inevitably funnelled you to GRS with no regard for the individual's needs...
No, the proliferation of my very special secret identity that i'm revealing now is bad, actually.
A better person would use their position to make life better, not kick down.
what immense downsides? lets say its worst case scenario and someones just a really really determined but misguided cis man (there is no way this isn't rare as fuck). what's the end result? slightly lower dick functionality and some surgery scars? not even that?
and if they aren't a misguided cis man than there's no fucking downsides
when im in charge the trans people who are like her and blaire etc will be exiled to a special island with no internet connection. they will be given enough food and like board games and stuff but they have to stay there.
White liberal trans woman is a shortsighted transmed who is totally unempathetic regarding the reality of being a different type of trans person than her
Im very stuck on these people who are taking the we always knew stance, bit weird, bit close to we can always tell, the community is suddenly just embracing transvestigations? Maybe I'm weird for never considering it, maybe i didnt want to be associated with her, maybe i need a snack (likely)
