Transgender as a term has always cohabitated with transsexual. It's also used in publications from the the 70s and 80s but there was a big push in the late 90s and 2000s to make 'transgender' the normalised word after the works of Judith Butler were published, to emphasise that a trans woman (and it was primarily trans women under scrutiny then as now) is a woman regardless of the status of her sex. We pushed the word transsexual away because it was what the cis used to slur us, and because politically, we wanted recognition for our gender. This was in a time when trans women were near-universally rejected as women even within the queer community, and the only hope of acceptance was by passing flawlessly and living stealth. We wanted recognition as women regardless of our sex.

Now we are socially recognised as women, even if verbally our enemies like to pretend it is still the 90s and we are not. We have won womanhood, but are denied the rights of womanhood. Political messaging against us is that we are defective, incomplete, incorrect women, we are not 'biological', 'female sex' women, therefore we do not deserve to be treated equally to other women. Therefore trans women again have to change our messaging, and we are dusting off 'transsexual' again, a term we never abandoned, and are pushing it to the fore again because we MUST now destroy the notion that sex is immutable, as that is the primary argument used to deny us rights as women in modern discourse. The notion that you don't need to change your sex to be a woman is not a counterargument to 'sex is immutable'.

But this use of AGAB? They picked male and female and terms that describe an event in which we are assigned a gender we are going to be coerced into, and mixed them to remake male and female but explicitly with this implied cissexist idea that we cannot change our sex, as this time it is based on an assignation that we cannot change.

That’s pretty bad! It sounds like an instrumentalization the most transphobic people would come up with, not trans people!

Aro and ace activism is healthcare reform, so that no one needs to rely on a spouse for health insurance, so that healthcare is available to everybody regardless of income, so that no one’s lived experiences or basic dignity are dismissed or overridden by doctors

Aro and ace activism is well-funded and expansive public transit, so that you don’t need to have someone on hand to drive you places if you are incapacitated, so that you don’t have to pay for an ambulance if you need to get to the hospital quickly

Aro and ace activism is disability and elder care services, so that no one needs a spouse to care for them, so that no one needs children to care for them, so that marriage is not a bind for disabled people, so that people on disability who want to and can live alone can

Aro and ace activism is community-building, it’s public events, it’s free social activities, it’s mutual aid, it’s activities that bring community members together without socializing relying on just a romantic partner

Aro and ace activism is developing a culture of believing when people tell you who they are and what they want rather than assuming you know them better than they know themselves

Sure, even if you changed slightly the context, he did threaten someone.

But its not really the actual reason, and its also not the issue i bringed up.

A lot of trans people get banned on this platform, some say worse things and get away with it.
