Hey, Tony, here's something for you to chew on...

Tony says these issues are hard enough to deal with but, “it’s making it worse that we can’t talk about it … we have to embrace gender ideology. And if you don’t you are a right-wing nutjob.”

..."gender ideology" is not a thing, not an actual thing. It is a pejorative term used exclusively by #transphobic #RWNJs &/or #ChristoFascists. It's not a question, you dickhead, of you "having to embrace" it. It's the simple fact that you said it, that you are so stupid &/or so misinformed that you even said it, that you govern your actions on a non-existent concept. Moron. 🤦‍♀️​

I seriously wish i could wave my magic wand on all peeps who think & act this way, & bestow the "gift" of #GenderDysphoria upon them. Then, you idiots would finally grasp the utter excruciating agony of this hideous curse.

This inexpressible fuckery astounds & confounds me. Today we know much more about Gender Dysphoria than we did 20 years ago when i #transitioned [albeit, we did already know HEAPS about it then, given that we already had many decades of scientific data & lived experience on it]. Today there's better understanding of pharmacological assistance for blocking the ghastliness of #puberty, that horrendous irreversible process that irrevocably poisons the body of trans teens+. Yet, despite all this putative progress, today's politics are motivated by rancid RWNJ hatred of difference, deplorable patriarchal & bullshit religious delusions, & venal political actors unconcerned about best interests of the dysphoric misery when they can see potential political advantage. I wish the plagues of #Zarquon on these hideous cretins.

It's just so cruel. Young trans peeps are forced into an agonising choice of losing propositions:

  • declare as soon as they know, seek parental empathy compassion & support [none of which is assured], avail themselves of requisite puberty blockers, then somehow weather the roiling storms of pig-ignorance, malice & hatred that will envelop them from the RWNJs... all the while hoping they can just survive long enough to reach legal age when they can seek the remaining medical & surgical aspects of their #transition, if that's their goal ... OR ...
  • endure the silent misery of unvoiced Gender Dysphoria & its ruination on their bodies as they desperately try to survive #puberty & stave off #suicide, until some undefined later stage of adulthood when they can formally transition, replete in the knowledge that many hated aspects were set in stone by their "incorrect puberty" [explicitly so for #MtF; i shan't pretend any accurate understanding for #FtM].

Humans are so fscken fscked.

Talking trans: Adolescents, gender transition and the conversations we need to have

The genie’s not going back in the bottle. We need to talk more openly and with more nuance about these questions, with the human beings involved at the centre.

It is prophesied: The last tweet on #Twitter shall come from a newly joined user, Holy #Zarquon, saying: “Sorry I’m a bit late, had a terrible time… All sort of things cropping up at the last moment.”
