Indian court rules trans women are women

"The ruling rejected the arguments that tie womanhood to reproductive capacity, declaring such views “legally unsustainable” & misaligned with the country’s constitutional guarantees of dignity, equality, and identity.

As well as this comic is laid out, mocking the way TERFs like to proudly declare they will film/photograph people in toilets, and that it's them you should actually be scared of, it's a bit sad.

Sad that so many of these people are filled with such hate, they think this kind of crime is okay.

I keep seeing folks saying that a trans lifestyle is being shoved down their throat. I've never had a trans person knock on my door to try to convert me. Never had a trans person leave literature on my car. Never had a trans person threaten me with fire, if I don't agree.

We've only just realised, but WOT is 14 years old today. We have had our share of ups, and downs (breaks away from the hate), major illnesses, & we've seen times that have been positive for trans people, and times like now, that are horrific.

It really does not feel like it's been that long.

Image reads: "Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to: "I actually don't know the science at all, or have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long held view of the world, and it's very uncomfortable, and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort"

Rowling has chosen to respond to language she did not like (due to its perceived sympathy towards trans people) by launching an intellectually lazy attack on a newspaper, primarily staffed by women, with a strong track record on reporting on feminist issues.

This is exactly the problem with a lot of the hate and transphobia out there. If it's not powered by religious hate and bigotry, it's generally powered by ignorance, and a feeling that your 'normal', is the same as everyone else's. Of course, the truth, is far more complicated.

Largest trans survey ever finds the top reason transgender people stop transitioning, is transphobia.

We're not surprised. But then again, that's because a lot of the hate directed at us, is meant to stop us from being ourselves.

Largest trans survey ever finds the top reason transgender people stop transitioning is transphobia

“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community,” the survey found.
