No one denies us jobs or educational opportunities or housing. We have long been forced to not take to the streets to ensure our basic human rights, and - most of all - none of you lot have the balls to engage in cis-bashing.
You don’t understand our struggle!

Pretty sure Brian is taking the piss. My reason is that Brian is not a cunt.

This is a nice resource to combat the false narrative that trans identities need to be “fixed” to match biological sex:

If I ever stop posting here, know that someone either killed me or I died suddenly from some medical condition. That's awful

I have a bunch of those saved as well; including that one. 😁
Though I do worry that the more we dig for some kind of biological “cause” or explanation for trans identities, the more fuel it provides bigots who will undoubtedly water down those studies and take them out of context in order to say, “see, there’s something ‘wrong’ with them!” Which, of course does not appear to be at all the case based on what we’re learning and what we already know. But bigots gonna bigot…

You hear about how Auntie Beeb wrote an article about trans folk pressuring them into sex and it turned out to not only be offensive, but, frankly, fractally wrong?
Things aren't helped by the fact that, in an earlier version, they included commentary by Lily Cade, a lesbian porn star who not only has a history of sexual assault, but ended up following it up by this monstrosity:
Seriously, if you removed any references specific to trans folk and passed it off as a journal entry from a member of the Dirlewanger Brigade I don't think I'd tell the difference.
If you think there's too many traces of The Man Who Never Was in many transwomen to seriously consider them a sex partner, or if using the feminine penis just doesn't appeal to you, I can certainly sympathise. But that's no excuse to say they're not women. I don't want to fuck women with ugly feet or a Cluster B personality disorder. Or for that matter, a pro-lifer, but that doesn't mean they're not women. At most they're an aggregate of women you tend to not find attractive. And it certainly doesn't excuse this Day of the Rope horseshit.

It is interesting, because, where I live (Cedar Rapids, Iowa), the Republican Trifurcate governing the State refuses to pass a LGBT hate-crime law, in spite of the fact that there are those in Society who (no doubt strangers where I live) would like to see people like me put to death. While "trick or treating" this year with my 10-year old daughter, one man gave us candy and then asked me, "Don't you walk in my front of my house every day?" to which I replied, "Well, sometimes."
But, it is true; his house is on a busy residential street where the police often drive, as it is a 1.5 mile stretch of 30 mph road with no stop signs, and so, yes, I do walk on the sidewalk in front of his house almost daily, as the police do seem to be a deterrent to people harassing me.

Cole, who chairs the Nevada Democratic Rural Caucus, announced plans to run for lieutenant governor in Nevada on Wednesday at an event in the state capital.
