It's why the theme of "omg, you hooked up with a duuuuuuuuuuddddeeeee?!?!" stuff in movies (The Crying Game, Ace Ventura, etc.) was so popular for so long: it reflects a real anxiety about being "tricked."

And so certain portions of society take it upon themselves to make sure trans people are as visibly trans as possible: they feel entitled to know if someone is trans.

It's all based on really gross transphobic tropes.

A lot of people genuinely seem to think they have some sort of right to know if their coworkers or acquaintances are trans. That's absurd. They don't. It's a wild invasion of privacy.

So they push for policies that make it easier to clock us. It's a big old sexist attack.

@everywhereist @parkermolloy Are they against puberty blockers for cis kids, or just for trans kids?

I haven’t been able to find numbers on this, but I’d be surprised if the primary users of puberty blockers weren’t cis kids with precocious puberty.

I notice we never hear about their bone density.
