I Stop Being Attracted To Someone Once I Learn They Have A Gender Identity

Why are TRAs so ignorant to actual gay history? Why are they so instant on q*eer having never been a slur or being ‘fully reclaimed’? Why do they think that people saying ‘hey I don’t like being called this slur so can we stop using it to label the entire community/me’ is such a bad thing? Why are you all about ‘respecting other people’s identities’ until it comes to them not wanting to identify with a fucking slur?

I know I don’t really ever talk here, and I rarely include gender critical posts anywhere in my blog, but I’ve been doing some research and I am very moved to discuss some of the things I’ve found.

I’ve specifically been researching the use of puberty blockers in children with gender dysphoria (children here being defined as youths under 18). The unfortunate reality that I’ve come across is that many studies pertaining to the use of puberty blockers are extremely flawed. Putting under a read more because this is kind of long.

why are males never dysphoric about the way they treat/think/act about women

found an incredible resource that  will be extremely useful for us in many ways

it tracks studies that are retracted, altered, corrected, etc. because nowadays, the majority of studies that come out are completely unreproducible, and within that, many are legitimately incorrect/misleading, but all the hype was on the release of the study, and virtually none on the retraction, so people still believe it’s true. so, if you see studies around, it’s useful to plug them into this. think of it like snopes for scientific papers. 

Mimi Reinhard was being held at a Nazi concentration camp near Krakow, Poland, in 1944, but because she spoke flawless German and could take shorthand, she was allowed to work in the camp office. One of her jobs was to compile a list of Jewish prisoners working in factories owned by industrialist Oskar Schindler.

Mrs. Reinhard, then known as Carmen Weitmann, typed the names of more than 1,000 Jewish people — including her own and those of two friends — to create what became known as “c.” She called herself a “schreibkraft,” or typist.

“The only practical thing in my life that I learned was shorthand, but I never learned to type,” Mrs. Reinhard told the New York Times in 2007. “I typed with two fingers only.”

As a result, she and more than 1,000 other Jews were saved from near-certain annihilation in the Nazi death camps of World War II.

May her memory be a blessing.

Janelle Monáe came out as nonbinary...the singer of Pynk....

"I just don’t see myself as a woman solely. I feel all of my energy. I feel like God is so much bigger than the ‘he’ or the ‘she,’ she said. “And if I am from God, I am everything. But I will always, always stand with women. I will always stand with Black women. But I just see everything that I am, beyond the binary.”

The misogyny present....."I will stand with women but I'm just more complex and beyond other women." #NotLikeOtherGirls

Christ....disappointing is an understatement.

I actually think one part of the handmaid's tale is neglected when y'all bring it up. Maybe it's not in the show and some of y'all just ain't read the book idk.

But a big part of the book for me is that her boyfriend is basically like "do you not trust me to take care of you?" "I wouldn't do such and such to you" and doesn't really trust her intuition and kinda waves away her fear with "I'll protect you" type shit. He doesn't separate her view of her oppression from her view of him. He cares more about how she feels about him than he cares about her being her own free person.

And then he fails to protect her.
