How Conservatives Created (and Cancelled) Gender

The link below will jump you straight to the point: Dr John Money, the bigoted man who brought the word gender into modern medicine. Notably, this video discusses surgery to make the bodies of intersex children conform to social norms, but fails to discuss surgery to make the bodies of endosex boys conform to social norms. Stop leaving circumcision out.

As someone who has lost #trans :heart_trans: loved ones because of #transphobia, I'm fed up with this very small percentage within an already small group of detransitioners who actively campaign to derail the transitions of others.
#IDAHOBLIT is a great day to remind you about TransActual's crowdsourced definition of transphobia. It was designed to explain some of the subtler more nuanced forms of transphobia. Find it at https://transactual.org.uk/transphobia

Oh lord, apparently Hillary Cass has bought into the conspiracy theory that "sissy hypno porn is turning the kids trans!" It's absolutely infuriating and naked bigotry that anyone pretends she is a neutral, honest, or scientific researcher. I am going to bet within the year that she will blame either George Soros or Bill Gates for the transes, or come out as an anti-vaxxer.
#ukpol#transphobia Why does anyone still think the Guardian is a progressive newspaper? Their latest fun is an “exposé” of being able to buy HRT on the internet.
I'm not holding my breath this heralds a break in the fever of the trans moral panic, but it's a step in the right direction. And it's always good to see the haters foiled.
I'm extremely extroverted, love the outdoors, cities, festivals, etc.
I'm a trans woman and I don't hide it at all. I experience gender dysphoria and have run-ins with transphobes and #terfs quite often, especially the former.
I'm exhausted by the amount of extra work and stress I have to deal with just to have a day free from bigots and misogynists who decide hate speech is more important than my welfare...
