How to Live Safely in a Time Traveling Coat

this article is so comically fucked lmao

This shit is annoying enough when cis people do it but it especially gets on my nerves when I see other trans people buying into this nonsense

I've met far too many pre- or early transition trans people worried that medically transitioning is somehow conformist or some kind of personal failing, a temptation to be resisted.

Too many people have bought into this naturalistic notion that medical transition is a tragic symptom of a society that isn't accepting enough. That if our world was more enlightened people wouldn't need or want to alter their natural bodies.

Genuinely fuck that noise. Bodily autonomy rules and biohacking your endrocrine system is based actually.

Cancer is natural.

Diabetes is natural.

Cyanide is natural

Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's inherently good for you.

Setting aside medical necessity of transitioning for a second, if this society is supposedly accepting enough that people can express themselves and act however they want, then what's with this weird arbitrary line at people altering their physical form?

In a fully accepting society, I'd expect more people to medically transition, not less.

"You can look and act however you want so long as you don't change yourself in any way" isn't freedom, it's just reified cissexism.

You have to free yourself of the notion that unaltered, non medically transitioned bodies are ideal and inherently superior. It's not true. It's a lie you've been told to keep you from owning your own body.

It's okay to want to medically transition and, if you have the access and you have the ability, you are 100% allowed to do it.

Medically transitioning is a good thing and should be freely accessible to anybody who wants or needs to medically transition. Saying that isn't transmedicalist, it's what's necessary for real trans liberation.

I wholeheartedly reject the notion of describing medical transition as "binarist" and "conformist" and I'm sorry if this comes across as bitchy but biohacking your endocrine system or getting a surgeon to perform gentital origami on you is actually pretty radical defiance against naturalistic cisnormativity.

"You have to free yourself of the notion that unaltered, non medically transitioned bodies are ideal and inherently superior. It's not true. It's a lie you've been told to keep you from owning your own body."

^this mentality is the basis for an enormous amount of restrictions on trans helathcare. Even if you don't view yourself as being on the "same side" as conservatives who call our bodies "mutilated", you may be driven by the same forces.

good, that was the point.

There is *zero* space reserved for trans women to talk about our periods. Most trans women keep quiet about our symptoms every month, opting to suffer in silence, because most people get very angry at us for even so much as mentioning that we get periods. Any time there is any kind of event to talk about trans people's periods and offer support for them, trans women are excluded.

Obviously trans women don't have periods the way we think of most periods, no uterine line shedding, no blood, and no cycle. But taking estrogen can lead to pms symptoms, and from the brief description I read reminds me of being a teen when my cycle was setting in. The worst part about that for me was how irregular my cycle was and how dismissive drs and even women around me were.

There's not enough research on cis periods, and there's not enough research into trans health, so most women will be told their symptoms are nothing.

not sure if the professor layton community would be into this one.

court decision defending specifically transfems being excluded from from playing on women's teams? no transfems interviewed but here's some trans men we interviewed one of whom just wants to push his new book

panel on the transfem experience? no transfems speaking on it but here's three trans men larping as experts one of whom is just detailing his fetishistic fantasies about them with open contempt for transfem lesbians in particular

He asked: "Oh, was she the only son or something before *waves hand*?" and I was like, warily, no she has two brothers. And he responded with a great deal of confusion: "Then what's their problem?!?!"
