Not Only Transmasc Tags, But Trans Tags IN GENERAL

Not only transmasc tags, but trans tags IN GENERAL 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I literally cannot go on the trans tag without getting bombarded with softcore porn, like, WTF LET ME SEE MY ACTIVISM AND MEMES

dude why are all of the transmasc related tags just filled with weird horny posts now. the exact same type of horny posts. cant you at least be creative with it.

With the Alberta government announcing a ban on gender-affirming care until 16 years old, let’s take a minute to correct some misinformation using peer-reviewed publications. A thread.🧵

“High quality evidence doesn’t support gender-affirming care.”

‘High quality evidence’ is a technical term that essentially just means ’no randomized controlled trials.’ RCTs are not scientifically feasible for trans youth care and would be unethical (link).

The evidence-base for gender-affirming care is quite robust and is at least as good at the evidence base for comparable interventions like abortion and birth control. For an overview of available studies, albeit already few years outdated, see page 144 onwards (link).

“Over 80% of kids grow out of being trans.”

That’s just not true. The claim is based on old, poor-quality studies that included tons of kids who never claimed to be trans (link).

But even if we took the percentage at face value, it would be irrelevant since it’s based on pre-pubertal data and virtually all the so-called ‘desistance’ occurred before puberty, when gender-affirming care becomes available (link).

More recent, better studies suggest that only around 2.5% have ‘grown out of it’ after 5 years (link).

“Kids falsely believe that they are trans because of social contagion.”

There is no evidence for that claim. It’s based on the reports of transphobic parents who were surprised that their kid came out ‘out of the blue’ and happened to have trans friends, as trans kids tend to do. For a careful explanation of why the claim is completely unsupported by evidence, see this (link).

Studies of trans youth that used clinical data to look into the claim have also failed to find any evidence of epidemic or large-scale social contagion (link).

“We need a years-long diagnostic process to make sure kids are ‘truly’ trans before they transition.”

There is no evidence that gender assessments fare any better than self-report at predicting future outcomes, as we explain in our recent review (link).

“Gender-exploratory therapy can help identify the trauma that made these kids gender dysphoric.”

Gender-exploratory therapy is extremely difficult to distinguish from classic conversion therapy, which also starts from the premise that ‘trauma’ makes people LGBTQ2S+ (link).

Since conversion therapy is known to be harmful, we have reasons to believe that gender-exploratory therapy would be as well.

Self-directed exploration is good. Forced exploration rooted in suspicion towards trans identities isn’t. If you’re starting from the belief that trans identities are inherently suspicious, you’re not doing therapy, you’re doing transphobia.

Any more myths about gender-affirming care you’d like me to bust, Tumblr?

Could you elaborate on this? /genq

Here’s your friendly reminder that AFAB and AMAB are meaningless and obsolete terms!

so. as a genderfluid i don't mind how much genderfluid representation and headcanons comes from shapeshifters. but it is some concerning, if that's the only rep we got, if that's the only time you'll see a character as fluid. it makes me question how much ya'll actually respect genderfluidity.

do you only see us if we have the ability to magically change our sex to fit the agab of our current gender? do you respect us if our pronouns don't change with our genders? if we don't switch between the binary? if our gender expression is gender non-conforming? if we're not constantly changing our names, our pronouns, our fashion and our hairstyles to fit within society's ideas of what the gender we're feeling at that moment is?

do you respect genderfluids that don't bind when they're men? do you respect genderfluids that don't tuck when they're women? do you respect genderfluids who aren't fluid between men and women, whose gender(s) can't be pinned down to one thing at a time? genderfluids that don't want to transition, genderfluids that want to transition to seem more like a specific sex, genderfluids that want to transition to seem like multiple sexes?

if any of this is where y'all draw the line for supporting genderfluidity, you're not actually our ally. so, i don't know, think on why that is.

Sorry babe but if me saying I use "any and all" pronouns stresses you out, that's honestly a you problem. It's not my job to pick a "true" or "most preferred" pronoun for you to call me by when my preference is, in fact, use everything chaotically and change it up often.

If you want to ask for clarification on how I'd like various pronouns used, that's fine. But saying to my face "ah I always get stressed about any pronouns - what do I call you"? Just rude tbh. I told you my preference, figure it out. It/they/he/she/xe/zir/fae/rat/bitch/ass/motherfucker I don't care, it's not my problem.

The entire “right to life” and “everyone deserves to live” argument against abortion made by conservatives is so funny because the entire ideology of conservatives is to keep the system the way it is. The system that only allows the rich white man to live and thrive. The system that leaves everyone else to die. The entire ideology of conservatives is misanthropic and against life.
