Probably will be used to block trans women scientists and artists to enter the us as well. But honestly I think that’s a blessing in disguise.

She did an amazing Lucifer too!

Hateful families are the elephant in the room for queer youth. The defensive approach taken in the States that is all but “let the parents and only the parents decide about their kids’ care” sacrifices those of us with hateful and unsupportive families. Trans youth will never thrive as long as minors keep being considered their parents’ property.

The problem with the federated model for porn is that it’s easier to get away with hosting illegal content.

To be fair, the journalists at PinkNews seem to have ignored the ceo’s instructions. There hasn’t been a noticeable reduction in the amount of trans news they publish.

She wrote an article about trans women in sports about a year ago, trying to hold a “centrist position” where trans women and transfem folk would only get excluded sometimes, and surprise surprise, she drew the line at participation in sports teams, she herself being a hockey player. Of course, she was devastated a few months ago when she was sacked from her team. Fuck compromise. Trans people should never accommodate nor apologize for who we are.

Let’s hope this movement gets somewhere, because as it stands, a change.org petition is too little too late.

The greatest achievement of gender critical ideology is getting women to voluntarily give men jurisdiction to police their bodies and presentation. To the Rowlings and Parkers, any number of cisgender women hurt by their ideology is worth it in their quest of erasing trans people out of public life.

France and Spain at least have got some programs going. How effective they’ll be, time will tell. Regardless, I think Europe is going to receive a lot of young researchers from third countries that were planning on a PhD or postdoc in the us before this administration.

You forgot the tiny detail that their feelings don’t care about facts.

Make the men interested in you women, duh.

I’m referring precisely to figures like Joyce and Rowling when I talk about the “terf-feminist divorce”. I agree that the modern “gender critical” individuals have little to do with feminists, and they themselves are moving away from the classic moniker too. But as a movement, I’m aiming for just the contrary, underlining the “feminist” in terf. remembering that terf stems from feminism points a finger at the failures of white, straight, upper-middle class feminism. I think it leads to much more useful discussion than trying to restrict a movement to its foundational authors and texts.

When those ideas were injected into the movement so early in its history, was it coopted by bad actors or actively shaped by them?

It’s true that Dworkin wasn’t anti-trans, even if the transphobic ideas of her time seep into her work, as we see in the paternalistic attitude present in this passage. However, we have a few years, a decade at best, of radical feminism being trans-ambivalent before terfism became a prominent part of the movement. And that’s gone on for almost five decades. Even with the current terf-feminist divorce of the last decade, prominent contemporary authors that identify as radfem, such as Amelia Valcárcel, are quite transphobic.

Compare that to intersectional feminism. Even if Hooks’ foundational Feminist Theory contains questionable elements in her argumentation (like saying, or at least implying that gays and lesbians don’t suffer systemic oppression), she herself revised those ideas in later works and later trans feminist authors got grandmothered into the current.

“God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation.” - Daniel Mallory Ortberg

Plus, the 1948 definition of genocide only qualified racial, ethnic, national and religious groups as possible victims of genocide. LGBTQ people were defined out of the genocide they were suffering. Quite comfy for the Allies back then, and to Holocaust denialists and gender critical ideologists today.

The greatest achievement of gender critical ideology is getting women to voluntarily give men jurisdiction to police their bodies and presentation.
