Gender policing has always been used to shame and violate gender non-conforming people:

‘This fat cop comes out of nowhere. He's swinging a bat in his hand. Right in front of me he stands and says, "Do you have three articles of men's clothing on you?" ... "Don't you know there's a law against masquerading?"
….

'He thought I was a guy dressed like a woman. He says he's taking me in. "I'm a girl," I tell him. "I'm a girl!" But he doesn't believe me. "I swear I'm a girl!" I keep saying, and finally he says, "Okay, I'm callin' a police matron, but if you're tryin' to make a fool of me, I'll see to it they throw away the key." That SOB made me stand up against the wall until this broad arrives, and she takes me to the ladies' room, makes me open my blouse and take down my under-pants... feels me up everywhere. Oh, Lil!'’

From ‘Naked in the Promised Land: a Memoir’ by Lillian Faderman (2003). Incident in the 1950s.

Google knows #transgender women are women, and they act accordingly. Pink News knows that if they showed the nipples of transgender women, Google would hit them with a content violation.

Life in the UK post-FWS.

This is what happens when state-sanctioned transphobia unleashes gender vigilantes.

#CaitlynJenner issues surprising statement after #Trump signs executive order affecting #TransAthletes

The former Olympian has left some of her X followers feeling 'confused'

One follower wrote: "Legitimate question - as a trans woman, are you cool with them just slowly erasing trans people, their rights, and everything they’ve worked towards?"

Rhianna Benson, February 16, 2025

"According to Reuters, enforcing his ban 'may be difficult' for Trump 'to enforce', being that his current options 'range from looking at birth certificates, which can be altered, to inspecting the bodies of children, an alternative that most would find unpalatable at best'.

"Transgender athlete Chris Mosier, who also spoke to the publication, has since responded: 'Anti-trans school sports bans are difficult to enforce because they rely on #SexTesting and #BodyPolicing for implementation and enforcement.

"'An increased scrutiny on athletes' bodies creates serious harm to all women and girls who are perceived as 'more masculine' due to being #queer, #intersex, or otherwise out of alignment with narrow, white-centric norms of femininity.'" [Or those of us with higher androgen levels naturally! 🤚🏼 ]

I have been dealing with Black (and white) people purity testing the authenticity of my Blackness, Queerness, my Trans identity for over a half century and one day I just stopped wasting time on these people.

Arwa Mahdawi: Whether you’re trans or not, the gender police are coming for you too: A man harassing a nine-year-old girl for not looking feminine enough shows the war on trans people is also a war on all women

"The gender police need to see your documents now

It was supposed to be a fun school sports event for young kids. Instead it turned into an altercation that went viral and made international news. A nine-year-old girl was getting ready to take her turn at a shot put event in British Columbia, Canada, when a belligerent 67-year-old man called Josef Tesar intervened and allegedly accused the girl of being a boy or transgender."
