Veteran. Trans woman. Atheist. Feminist. Virtue is a practice not a possession. We are better together. Friend of the faithful. Care for the π, it's our home.
Every news outlet is reporting this. Imagine if his case had gotten the same visibility a day sooner. A week. 8 years even. He might still be alive. And people are already profiting off his death undeservedly. Shame on all of you.
We failed him.

They want to blame this on trans women but the truth is it's the fault of the very same people who judge by appearances and demand genetics testing whenever a woman of color wins anything.
What being a woman means to me:
1) It is a sacred responsibility to never endanger my sisters or use them to my own ends.
2) It is a joyful expression of something I feel inside of me.
3) It means I choose the very best things womanhood has to offer, from the women who teach me.
@SupportDetrans
We gotta make sure to make you feel welcome always. It's our lives, we do what we want with them. For better or worse! And we learn and we grow. Detrans and trans are in the same boat. Same as all humans really. We all want health, safety and dignity. πΊπΈπ³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈβπ
Four years of a Congress that did nothing. Republicans have no ground to stand on when it comes to governing. And Tuberville is a disgrace to the military. I'm behind Kamala Harris 100 percent, as are millions more. πͺ·

The title itself already gives away the one-sidedness of this piece. I was drawn in by words of "dialogue" but I won't watch this film even if I agree with some of what she has to say. A girl was murdered because of this rhetoric: To make Joanne out as a victim is disingenuous.

There's a whole false narrative (among many) being pushed that trans are pushing gender conformity. That's only Blair White the rest of us are reasonable and support fluid and creative expressions. Gender non conforming and trans are both valid and not mutually exclusive.
My name is Sabrina. My mother gave me that name when I expressed my trans identity to her. She also gave me the name Brian, which was the name of her father, a kind man, and I kept it as my middle name, to honor her, him, and myself, because it's the same life after all. πΊπΈπ³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈβπ

She is definitely in the minority with that opinion. I've been to many gay bars and never once had a gay man hit on me. I don't need grindr if I want to sleep with a man, there's always some straight man sniffing around, or I can just ask my boyfriend π₯°

Seriously. If you are seeing people's junk in bathrooms you're doing it wrong.
Why is it always the creepiest people that seem to have "safeguarding concerns"?
Keeping people safe should always be on our minds but that has to include everyone. And we don't need bathroom monitors.
@BellaRizinti
Hi! I'm Sabrina, and this is the blahaj the cis guy I've been seeing for a few years now bought for me. He likes all women, cis and trans alike, and he's shown up for trans remembrance ceremonies because he's a solid ally and a dear friend. πΊπΈπ³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈβπ

Not every LGBTQIA+ person is like that. In fact so many reach out and offer their support, especially when they see the loud minority pile on innocent souls. We have support. We have allies. Sadly, anti-trans sentiment earns votes and dollars. We have to stand together.

Does this really help girls and women's sports? The millions of dollars spent just to deter people from playing sports? We could have reasonable guidelines, indeed those guidelines existed before and still do in other places, to keep the competition fair. This wasn't necessary.

"evidence"? This isn't a court trial. They're allowed to express their thoughts without being held to the fire over every word.
A better question would be why do you care so much?

It's ever so much fun being a political scapegoat for an entire political party. We will of course use our voices to challenge the idea that anyone's problems would be solved by erasing trans folks.

This woman is brilliant. It's so disturbing to see some women attacking her because she dared speak up for trans people and because she rightly called out a loaded question. The nerve to say the word "penis" to a prime minister, but she replied gracefully

Please don't do that. I know it sounds good in your head but you'll make more enemies for us out of people that aren't even involved. Stay calm, be safe, support each other, strive for acceptance. We will win. There will always be trans folks. There always have been. πΊπΈπ³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈβπ
@LordAslanThe2nd
Because the same people who freak out about trans people are chronically repressed and probably consume 90 percent of pornography.
Yes, some girls have a penis. Millions of strangers think about mine more than I do and that's ..... creepy. I would suggest a better hobby.

It doesn't make sense that women see you for what you are? You are aligned with monsters. Attacking a small group of people who'd really rather be helping you fight the patriarchy, which I've rejected since 1994. As a boy. I'll be a feminist for life. Nothing you do can change it
@GcMisogyny
It will never not be sad to see women attacking other women. That's how the patriarchy wins. Nicola Sturgeon seems like a hero to me. But because she's helping trans folks have rights and dignity, GC folks attack her in the most cruel ways.

I've never threatened you, nor will I. It would be ridiculous to become a woman and then push for women to lose their rights. And the last things most of us want (except Caitlyn Jenner probably) is more misogyny. No one is born a woman, we are made, as has been said.
@SupportDetrans
You were once like us. π₯° How could we possibly blame you for following your heart and doing what's best for yourself? GCs push the narrative that we don't understand and appreciate one another but that's simply not true. They're the ones who use detrans folks as a shame bomb. π
@Ericproctor93
@redlianak
Yes, this! I've seen them simultaneously say that we should fight for our own spaces and that we don't deserve special accommodations. If I have a gender neutral option available I'll always use it. But this is not a good-faith effort, just another way to shame and humiliate.
@Phil_Lewis_
I'm so ashamed to live in in a country where this is happening, and to be a part of a race that seems continually hell-bent on asserting itself on the rest of the world. White people like me are sick of this, we will stand with you and fight against this. we're better together

Appeasement doesn't work. And passing is a privilege many don't have. Also, why? I think trans people are beautiful and amazing as they are, I encourage anyone to pursue their own transition as they see fit. There is NO excuse for hateful behavior towards those who don't "fit in"

I had a discussion with another GC person yesterday who said "why don't you fight for inclusive bathrooms instead of invading our spaces" ... It's not about the truth anymore it's about shaming us till we can't even lift our heads up. Lift your head up ladies. We are valid.
@chilijellybeans
I just want to add: Everyone who uses these spaces is bound by law to remain respectful, and to use the facilities for what they were intended for. Individuals who violate these rules or who attempt to harm anyone should be punished by the full force of the law.
