#transphobes

As a woman with #PCOS and whose testoterone has been measured as 'elevated' because of it, I can't help but watch the #olympics drama and shake my damn head in rage.

Transphobes and TERFs attacking women that dont live up to their bizarre fucking standards put us ALL at risk! Their idiotic attacks on cis and trans folks are NOT feminist and are NOT "for the safety of women".

It is simply so that they can police our appearence and behaviour to fit their traditional ideas of what a woman is supposed to be.

Fuck them.

I wasn't going to say anything, but your post has prompted me...
I personally hope to do the opposite. I hope to show transphobes why they are wrong. I believe there is a reason why they are #transphobic, and that someone should deal with that reason.

It's going to take a lot of hard work and patience. But #transphobes are fellow humans, too. Something has led to that #transphobia. Wouldn't it be nice if they understood and overcame their phobia? To have a friend?

I have a theory why #transphobes like #ElonMusk HATE the word "#cisgender" so much.

Because this word implies that there isn't anything truly special or weird about #trans people. It helps to put things into perspective, and normalize trans people a bit.

Accepting the word "#cisgender" implies that trans people have a point (and they do). But if you're a transphobe blinded by hate, you can't have that. Even a simple word would be too much of a concession.

#Target, you're confusing a signal with noise. This is not how you deal with #fascists, #racists, and #transphobes: "The reaction is a signal for us to pause, adapt and learn so that our future approach to these moments balances celebration, inclusivity and broad-based appeal," Christina Hennington, Target's chief growth officer, said last summer."
