Believe in the Night

Despite all the talk about 'pedophiles' on tumblr, there is zero evidence that any CSA has been perpetrated by the people accused, there is zero evidence that any actual CSAM has been shared or surreptitiously circulated at any point. There is zero evidence.

Like, that's it. Despite all the bullshit, despite all the what-aboutisms, despite all the deliberate and constant misinterpretation, despite all the twisting and obfuscation, despite all the mass surveillance and gang-stalking of trans women, nobody has turned up a god damn fucking thing. And no screenshots of tumblr posts do not fucking count sorry!

this is what I mean about how right now in the united states (won't speak for elsewhere but feel free to lmk in the notes if you'd like) a lot of us trans adults who are able to access transition care can only do so at the direct expense of trans minors. this clinic would not have opened if they held the line and offered equal access to healthcare to trans minors.

"Martin announced the direct-care clinic, calling it “one of the first times a public health department has ever taken that step.” But when Cabán pushed back, pointing out that trans youth are the ones most under attack right now—noting that there are “almost no providers” left for youth the entire city—Martin indicated the clinic would not serve youth, citing the need to “strike a balance” between providing care and avoiding “clawbacks from the federal government.” This morning, EITM can directly confirm that the age cutoff is 19—matching the Trump administration’s executive order threshold, not the standard legal age of adulthood in New York."

a lot of the structural transphobia we are experiencing is hitting minors even worse. their care gets banned first. if you want a preview of what access to healthcare will look like for us trans adults in 2 years, look at what access looks like for legal minors right now.
