Jesse Singal: β€œI don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

I do think the best response to these kinds of questions is essentially a variant of "ma'am this is a wendy's"

the author of this post should just try being normal instead! Ruining your life and friendships because of your anti-trans activism is not, in fact, the fault of trans people.

Amazing how folks like Jesse Singal can argue we need to hold trans care to the highest scientific standards, meanwhile an aggrieved gay guy can be like "I was bullied by the woke mob" and its a cover story in The Atlantic

Surely the author of a book called "Cis White Gay: The Making of a Gender Heretic" has no ulterior motives or grifts to profit off of.

A screenshot of a digital news article from The Sunday Times.
​Headline: "Trust me, taking testosterone as a woman is about more than sex".
​Subheader: "Most doctors only prescribe the hormone for low libido yet menopause campaigners say it has many other benefits too. So why is no one researching these claims?".

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

We need to embrace heterodoxy by ensuring everyone in the party adheres to the exact same set of poll tested messages!
