This is an amazing piece from Jess Davies. But we have a plan to fight back - if anonymous accounts have used image based abuse to try and silence you, chasing you across platforms, we'd love to hear from you.
"The images were fake. But the loss of power was real. The humiliation was real. The sense of being reduced to a body – something they could manipulate and degrade – was painfully real.
"And this abuse was a warning. A message to women like me: 'This is what happens when you challenge us.'"

Men using images to abuse women didn’t start with Grok – while tech bros are making money out of online harm, women will keep paying the price, says Jess Davies

the thing about “trans women are women” is that if you truly believe that — and you should — then you will become horrified beyond measure at what we as a society are willing to put young girls through, just because they are trans
it’s not just a statement of fact; it’s a recognition of brutality

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.
They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition.
Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

When you’re a UK trans woman, you roll invisible dice every day before work. All sixes, and a coworker with billionaire money will take your employer to court over you, you will be on the news, and when you leave the country, men with abuse allegations against them will call it a victory for women.

Still living this life after almost 8 months. A professional I know who works almost exclusively with trans people said almost all of them are unemployed.

Most of us do not want these things. The loss of being bipedal isn’t what grieves us.
It’s the fact that abled people just cannot help themselves making exclusionary decisions that DON’T NEED TO BE. Everyone benefits from ramps.

Men aren’t born with a propensity to commit acts of sexual violence. It is socialized behavior, often learned through abuse itself. Take fraternities and hazing as one example. The slightly older students beat the younger ones and the cycle continues year after year. Sports teams, armies, the same.

And one of the first survivors to step forward to try to stop Epstein? A trans woman, who was promptly mocked and villified by the New York Post, New York Magazine, the courts and law enforcement.
