that is, the idea that trans people are defying something called "biological sex" would have sounded like nonsense to clinicians before 1960.

"biological sex", a concept often used to target trans people, is a relatively recent idea. people act like it's self evident, but it very much is not.

One thing I feel like is not being mentioned in the current discourse is what is defined as kink, and who does that defining. There are plenty of transphobes who define trans people dressing and presenting as our gender as being kink. And, especially with recent bills, 1/6

- "transwoman", without the space, similarly nullifies "trans" being a mere qualifier, and distances us from being regarded as real women.

and if you think that language and words don't matter, then yours won't matter to me after i block you

since i just *know* people will sealion me with "but what's so bad about it"

- "transgendered" implies having gone through a process, or being afflicted with something. this pathologizes being transgender.

Show thread

cis allies, i beg you, do not use "transgendered" or remove the space between "trans" and "woman"

(and if an actual trans person is doing those things and not acting in bad faith, cis allies shouldn't interfere)

where was that app that let you block all followers of a certain twitter account that isn't a google chrome extension

look i'm not going to deny it would be a great idea to have events during pride which cater to special needs such as noise sensitivities etc

but pride, as a parade, as a riot, is rooted in sexuality. don't demand that it be made "acceptable" for those who think we're freaks

Show thread

if your problem with "kink" at pride is consent, just don't go to pride

You seem blue. Yknow, my wife, she was down the other day. Went to her doctor, in fact. Get this: he says, go to the circus, see this clown. She goes, she laughs, let me tell you, like she was a new person.

Weird thing is, you two I think have the same doctor. So let me ask you,

Other queer people dressed in ways you don't like ARE NOT YOUR FUCKING ENEMY don't position them as such and then hide it under a thin cover of hating "brands" while positioning yourself and your friends as The Normal Real Queer People.

i said it before and i’ll say it again: 4 day weeks are the single best thing we can do to improve our lives as workers. no other benefit comes even close to competing. time can’t be bought back later. your life is happening now. 5/2 is absurd twitter.com/kyleshevlin/status
