There are obviously more nuanced ways to talk about this, many of them, but nuance is the gap into which a crowbar is inevitably inserted, through which compromise with bigots is sought, over and over, until there is nothing left of the truth at all, and no nuance left over, either.
So.

You *can* change your sex.
I *did* change mine.
If this makes you uncomfortable, stop being part of the problem.

I don't know who needs to hear this but withholding medicine from groups of people out of animus for their class is a UN textbook definition of genocide.

This also applies to cartoons and comics and basically everything. It doesn’t matter if you have a concept of something already out there. If you love it, do it. Your work will have your unique mark on it by virtue of being made by YOU. (Also two cakes.)
Indie Dev discovers the game they're making basically already exists, worried of being deemed a ripoff. Original dev responds.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

the trans panic, legislation of transmisogyny, etc. is not "distracting from the epstein files", it entrenches the sexual abuse. transphobia towards trans kids always entails sexual abuse, by families & states. one of epstein's first victims was a trans girl, ava cordero, who was not believed

Cis liberals are just as attached to the belief that men and women are different species of animal as conservatives are. To abandon this belief would obligate them to oppose everything about how our society currently does gender, and liberals would rather witness a genocide than upend the status quo
It is 2025. The EHRC in the UK keeps trying to materialize a trans bathroom ban out of a muddled UKSC opinion third-sexing all trans people. A bill to criminalise those who provide trans minors with transition care passed in the US House of Representatives.
And cis "allies" still think this helps.

Instead, we fought on our enemies' terms, on a field of their choosing. To our credit we eked out quite a few wins! But we also left ourselves extremely vulnerable.
I don't consider the fight lost, not by a long shot, but I hope going forward we learn to listen to the radicals in the room.

The sex/gender distinction, the focus on "normal" queers, "born this way" politics... We knew where all of those would end up, and every time we tried to argue that case we got shouted down. I don't blame queer people for this outcome, but I find it frustrating we didn't do better for ourselves.

After decades of hearing that I should favor "pragmatic politics that change minds now" over more complex solutions, I wish I could muster more than an exasperated sigh every time I see another predicted consequence of cis-het appeasement politics.
It's hard to determine whether the blame lies more with trans advocacy abandoning any and all radicalism while trying to find a palatable message for a cissexist society married to sex-essentialism, or with cis people's inherent discomfort with sex being mutable.

it’s just never necessary to even talk about this. “biological sex” is a fascist, gender critical dog whistle… it’s not a real thing. if someone is saying it, you don’t need to argue their point, you can just laugh at them for saying nonsense.
it’s not defending us, it’s legitimizing bigotry…

Ignoring the fact that "biological sex" is a loaded, political term pushed by Gender-Conservatives to treat trans people as unnatural---my biology has fucking changed! That's kind of the point!

Like, at first glance, I thought a fucking TERF had written it. It took me a little bit to realise this was a cis "ally" "defending us"
Stop this and actually fucking LISTEN to trans people and look up the science and stop doing this. It hurts us and we don't appreciate it

The fact that the governmental bodies outlawing our healthcare are now pushing the term "sex rejection procedures" is a tacit admission of the reality that sex can be changed.

You *can* change your sex. That is the entire reason that transition care is being demonised, vilified, erased, and outlawed. Because this fact makes cis people uncomfortable.
Deal with your own discomfort without denying biological reality.
