Re: "masculine socialization"
No, this isn't a big thing trans women have to overcome, in general. We are who we are because cissocialization *didn't work.* It failed.
My socialization was feminine. All my friends were women. I didn't relate to "other men." I was not good at being a man, ever.

So my partner is a writer, a poet. They recently published a chapbook of erasure poems (take a document and redact most of the words, and the poem is the words that are left).
In the process, they discovered that you can't just highlight out the words, the text is still there in a PDF.
Funny.

Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there.

This is how I conceptualize human behavior.

Material conditions can, & do, alter one's placement.

There is still time to fight back! The public comment period for both rules opens TODAY. You can make your voice heard and urge HHS to drop the rules here: act.hrc.org/page/183931/... (3/3)

The federal government has proposed two new rules that could make it virtually impossible for transgender youth to get the health care they need.

So just in case you're still wondering, yes, they're lying to you when they tell you that you can't just be who you are.
Yup. You can just be a girl. Or a boy. Or both, or neither, or a secret third thing. It's up to you. You don't even have to do anything to prove it!

Given that they continue to roll back environmental and healthcare protections at a truly astonishing rate, we can now confirm that the fascists want us all to eat shit and die, actually.

@fetterman.senate.gov As much of an abject failure as you have been as my "Democratic" senator, there was a time when you still got some credit for calling yourself a strong ally to the trans community. Your vote on the NDAA is yet one more in a long string of cruel betrayals. Resign. Today.

Holy shit, (trans) women are pretty. I could just look at (trans) women all day. (Trans) women posting pics of themselves is actually one of the big reasons I spend so much time on this website.

So I'm not saying we bought season tickets to the NY/NJ Gotham because Emily Sonnett is cute. But I guess I'm also not saying it wasn't a factor. 😍

Either you believe that human rights include fully equal recognition and treatment of trans people, or you believe we don't deserve equal human rights.
Saying "It's complicated and/or political" or "These things take time" is an abdication of moral responsibility in favor of transphobia.

"Should some big sports guy wake up one day, say "I'm a woman" and get to compete in womans sports? Cause I have heard people ague that."
No you haven't. Guaranteed. You have maybe heard people argue in bad faith *against* that.

Look at it this way, sports are gender segregated after like age 12 or something. Should some big sports guy wake up one day, say "I'm a woman" and get to compete in womans sports? Cause I have heard people ague that. And at the same time you ignore the party that wants to just eliminate them.
