  • I’m not trans, just a middle aged dude, but it gives me a bit of hope that the trans community has these sorts of options when it feels like half the world wants to deny you your preferred existence. Shitty that you have to, but glad that you can.

    Fuck the bigots. Fuck the church. Fuck bad-faith politicians. Fuck the lies of conservatives. And fuck the people who can’t or won’t see the media doing the same thing to trans folk they did to gays mere decades ago.

    Idiots, cruel intolerant, controlling idiots, the lot of them.


  • I believe it comes about in the context of the common religious statement about gay and transgender folks being “unnatural”. So scientists go to nature and are like, “Look at the animals. They have sex freely regardless of their sexual organs, and some are born with both so they exist between the limited concepts of gender.”

    So to me, this argument is a retort against lazy, commonly used, longstanding, nonsense arguments.

    You seem to he framing it as, “scientists went to nature to find out how humans should act,” and in my view you are missing quite a lot.

    I could be wrong, open to hearing more.
