So women voting is part of the "slippery slope"? You want to be someone's property?
If you took away women's votes today, there would be a massive wave of legalizing rape, legalizing sale of female children to men, legalizing prostitution in all forms, legalizing pedophilia, legalizing domestic violence, legalizing forcing women to give birth/have abortions against their will/take or not take birth control against their will, etc., no time. It's not as if all women would suddenly be cherished princesses and the men will all White Knight to protect us.
Placing cross dressing/gay men on pedestals (Ancient Greece), allowing men dominion over all public spaces, and castration of male children in order to place in harems has a much longer history than democracy or women voting. It happened in the past, but without the modern medical twist.

Imagine being convicted of TEN counts of pedorape, only getting six years in prison, and then actually appealing that because it's too harsh.

Speaking of.... they'd be putting women into asylums against their will, too. That's what some men did back in the day when divorce wasn't an option.

I don't really think a lot of men want any of that these days, at least in my experience.

Response from GenderGP:
"
UK media continues to promote climate of fear for trans youth"

drugs to under 16s without parental consent

Foreign doctors are prescribing powerful sex change hormones to 15-year-olds in England without their parents’ involvement, a Telegraph investigation has found.
GenderGP, an online transgender healthcare services clinic, uses a legal loophole to flout NHS rules to issue valid prescriptions which can then be used to obtain the medication from pharmacies in Britain.
The sex change, or “cross-sex” hormones irreversibly change users’ bodies over the course of treatment and can also leave users infertile.
An undercover Telegraph reporter posing as a 15-year old girl was prescribed testosterone – the male hormone, which is a controlled drug – after just two Skype appointments with counsellors and one Skype appointment with a doctor at the online clinic.
Staff never asked to speak to her parents nor demand proof that any adult knew of her plans to transition, beyond a single email from a 20-year-old half-brother confirming that he would pay for treatment.
Lead counsellor, Marianne Oakes, said they did not require her parents’ “permission”.
Staff accepted at face value the reporter’s stated belief that she was really male, telling her “we’re not worried about your truth because there’s no debate about that”.
GenderGP defended its practices on Thursday, claiming that “not all parents are supportive” and that when a young patient is able to consent to their treatment “in their own right, then that treatment can be appropriate and necessary”.
It also confirmed that it has prescribed cross-sex hormones to children as young as 12, and puberty blockers to children as young as 10.
The findings will raise fresh questions over the duty of care shown to patients by the online clinic.
Whilst research suggests that the majority of transgender patients who take cross-sex hormones benefit from the treatment, a minority have regretted doing so and believe they were misdiagnosed or not properly counselled and advised.
The rules around prescribing these drugs to children in England and Wales were significantly tightened last December to guard against children being given unsuitable medications.
Doctors in England and Wales are no longer allowed to prescribe cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers to any child under 16, unless the decision, taken jointly by at least two specialist doctors including a senior hormone specialist and a senior psychosocial clinician, is endorsed by a court order.
It was signed by a doctor in Romania, who the Telegraph has identified as a geriatrician also trained in administering Botox. GenderGP does not offer patients the chance of an appointment with her, even though she authorises the medication. Instead they are directed to a doctor in Egypt, who told the reporter that it was “excellent” that, aged 15, she knew she never wanted to have children.
On Thursday night, Debbie Hayton, a teacher and transgender rights campaigner, called for the loophole to be closed. “For a doctor in Eastern Europe to prescribe a class three controlled drug to a child they have never spoken to is an egregious breach of protocol and safeguarding…the adults need to be called to account.”
GenderGP said it is a global organisation and its specialists are regulated in their respective countries. It added that there are “no formal qualifications in this field” but that its practitioners are “very experienced and fully educated in transgender healthcare”.
The Egyptian doctor, Yasmeen El Rakhawy, also told the reporter over Skype that the online clinic she worked for did not need to go into the same level of detail on certain issues “as other practices will do, or will demand”.
Neither would they insist on regular appointments with medical staff once the 15-year-old started taking the testosterone. “At no point will counselling sessions be enforced. At no point will the medical consultations be, you know, required regularly. It’s only if there’s ever a concern."
“I have no concern that this is absolutely the right path for you… Getting to that first prescription is on the horizon now. You can anticipate that and I appreciate the excitement.”
Sure enough, the undercover reporter received a valid prescription and secured the life-altering medication without any parental involvement. The process had been relatively simple. All it had taken was three Skype appointments and some emails, which she had been able to do from her bedroom. The clinic had not required proof that her parents knew of her plans.
We started to look at GenderGP after finding comments online that suggested that children were able to obtain drugs under the age of 16, and that some patients were given prescriptions without even talking to a doctor.
We were also made aware of messages posted on a moderated chat forum hosted by Mermaids, a support group for trans minors which has ties with schools, where children had described how they had been able to obtain prescriptions from GenderGP.
Mermaids said on Thursday night that it has no affiliation with GenderGP, but that it is aware that some young transgender people seek private treatment because of the “considerable barriers” if they go via the NHS. It “closely and carefully” monitors any discussions about medical journeys that take place on its platform, it added.
She was later fined for running an unlicensed trans clinic from her home in Monmouthshire, and is due to face a “substantive” General Medical Council hearing in July.
Eventually, she relocated to Spain and the company was reinvented as a complex international structure which navigates around the rules in England and Wales, and exploits a loophole which makes prescriptions signed by doctors registered anywhere in the EU valid for use at British pharmacies.
It has won a lot of devotees. Last year, GenderGP started more than 1,800 patients on cross-sex hormones, according to an annual report published on its website. It does not state how many it started on puberty-blockers, but it has separately admitted that it has prescribed them to a child aged 10. Nearly one in six of its patients are under the age of 16.
The Government directs pharmacists to accept prescriptions from EU doctors for testosterone and other powerful drugs, such as anabolic steroids, just as they would from a UK doctor.
In fact, only EU prescriptions for drugs that are highly controlled due to their addictiveness and potential for misuse, such as morphine or temazepam, are invalid at pharmacies here.
Even following Brexit, the instruction to honour prescriptions for many drugs from European doctors has remained unchanged, and the loophole remains.
In contrast, other countries who are still in the EU, such as France and Italy, do not allow their pharmacists to accept prescriptions at all from doctors outside their borders.
Concerns are that the prescribed drugs may be inappropriate for the person ordering them, as often the doctors don’t have access to the patients’ NHS medical records.
The foreign-based doctors who issue the prescriptions are also outside the remit of the UK regulators, and the equivalent bodies in countries such as Romania may not be as rigorous as they are here.
For Gender GP, the loophole allows it to continue to offer its services to children in the UK as its prescriptions for testosterone are easily exchanged at high street pharmacies, despite having been issued by a doctor in Romania who has never even spoken to the patient for whom they are prescribing.
Patients seeking medical appointments are directed to Dr El Rakhawy in Cairo, whose specialism, if she has one, remains unclear: there is a block of Latin dummy text next to her name on the GenderGP website and her LinkedIn profile reveals that she only finished the university portion of her medical training in 2017.
Prescriptions are signed by the geriatrician in Romania, whose identity GenderGP does not readily disclose – a move that a GenderGP staff member admitted was “cloak and dagger”.
This set up allows children under the age of 16 to order life-altering drugs from their own bedrooms, without any oversight or involvement by a parent or guardian.
When the reporter first contacted the organisation, she told the clinic that her mother and father did not support her decision to transition – believing that her desire to become a boy was something she would simply grow out of.
She said that her support network was so limited that she depended on her half-brother, a university student, to fund the process for her. The medicine cost £112 from a pharmacy, but between the £195 GenderGP set up fee, its £30 monthly subscription and three consultations, the process had so far cost £682.
“What we don’t want to do is be involved in a family row,” explained its lead counsellor Marianne Oakes, in another Skype session.
The 15-year-old did her best to allay any concerns. At GenderGP’s request, her “half-brother” sent a single email confirming that payments would continue uninterrupted. She also told staff via the internet that her parents would eventually come around, and that even if they did not fully endorse her decision, they would not force her to leave home.
No one at GenderGP asked to speak to the brother in person. Nor did they seek any form of contact with Charlie’s parents, or ask for any evidence that they even knew she was seeking treatment.
GenderGP also appeared to fall short of its own stated precautions for patients. Despite requesting in an email that patients under the age of 18 who have support should have an adult with them for part of their Skype calls, the reporter posing as Charlie conducted all of her appointments alone. GenderGP said on Thursday that it was not “an absolute requirement”.
Those checks are there for good reason. Alongside the life-changing physical effects, puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones come with risks – some well-chronicled on the NHS website - and some whose severity of which is still unknown because there is little data about their use in children
Even the makers of Testogel caution against using it on under 18s, because there is “no clinical information” available for such children.
With the hormones, some of the effects – such as facial hair and a deeper voice - are permanent even if users stop taking the medication.
They undoubtedly have a huge positive impact on the lives of many people who take them, but there is also a well-documented minority who feel that they were put on to them too readily and have come to deeply regret the decision.
“I made a brash decision as a teenager, (as a lot of teenagers do) trying to find confidence and happiness, except now the rest of my life will be negatively affected,” she told the court, describing her regret.
The NHS has strict protocols in place to guard against this sort of situation, even if they failed in her case. Children in England and Wales should not be prescribed cross-sex hormones until “around 16”, and after a year on puberty blockers and an extended period of assessment by a multi-disciplinary team.
Any decision to prescribe puberty blockers or hormones before their 16th birthday must be overseen by at least two specialist doctors directly involved in their care, including a consultant endocrinologist and a senior psychosocial clinician.
Following the Keira Bell ruling, it must also be endorsed by a court order. The judges presiding over that case ruled that it was “doubtful” that 14- and 15-year-olds could “weigh the long-term risks and consequences”.
However, as the Telegraph’s investigation found, GenderGP provides a short-cut.
While GenderGP confirmed the evidence that the Telegraph uncovered, it defended its practice on Thursday. It said that it treats children according to “stage not age”, and that there may “occasionally be compelling reasons” to prescribe cross-sex hormones to a 12-year-old who is “completely aligned with their gender identity”.
It added that it assesses patients’ capacity to consent in a number of ways, including email messaging, questionnaires and consultations, but that “not all parents are supportive, and when a young patient is able to consent to their treatment in their own right, then that treatment can be appropriate and necessary.”
“GenderGP operates according to a gender-affirming model of care. Transgender patients of all ages who come to our service can be assured of receiving belief, support and compassionate access to medical care,” it said.
The clinic also subscribes to an “informed consent” model, in which the patient makes their own decision about what treatment they should pursue, “using a combination of their own understanding of their situation and needs, and the medical advice supplied to best inform them.”
The clinic believes that children are capable of giving their “informed consent” – even, it would seem, under the age of 16, operating alone from their childhood bedroom, and without an adult present.

Signed off by doctor in Romania
The reporter, posing as a 15-year-old, received a prescription for a four-month supply of 'Testogel', during which time her voice could irreversibly deepen and facial hair start to grow.It was signed by a doctor in Romania, who the Telegraph has identified as a geriatrician also trained in administering Botox.

It “closely and carefully” monitors any discussions about medical journeys that take place on its platform, it added.
Founder's controversial past
GenderGP is no stranger to controversy. Its founder, GP Dr Helen Webberley, has been suspended by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service since 2018 after she prescribed hormones to a child aged 12 – although no finding of fact has been made against her practice.She was later fined for running an unlicensed trans clinic from her home in Monmouthshire, and is due to face a “substantive” General Medical Council hearing in July.
Eventually, she relocated to Spain and the company was reinvented as a complex international structure which navigates around the rules in England and Wales, and exploits a loophole which makes prescriptions signed by doctors registered anywhere in the EU valid for use at British pharmacies.

The loophole that allows GenderGP to offer its services to children in the UK
Due to a legal loophole, pharmacies in the UK will accept prescriptions for drugs such as testosterone even when they have been given out over the internet by doctors based in the further reaches of the European Union.The Government directs pharmacists to accept prescriptions from EU doctors for testosterone and other powerful drugs, such as anabolic steroids, just as they would from a UK doctor.
In fact, only EU prescriptions for drugs that are highly controlled due to their addictiveness and potential for misuse, such as morphine or temazepam, are invalid at pharmacies here.

No one asked to speak to a parent
Over virtual appointments, two GenderGP counsellors and one of its doctors asked the reporter some questions to satisfy themselves that this would not cause problems. They checked that her brother would keep on making the payments, and that the 15-year-old’s parents would not eject her from the family home when the effects of the testosterone became evident.“What we don’t want to do is be involved in a family row,” explained its lead counsellor Marianne Oakes, in another Skype session.
The 15-year-old did her best to allay any concerns. At GenderGP’s request, her “half-brother” sent a single email confirming that payments would continue uninterrupted.

They undoubtedly have a huge positive impact on the lives of many people who take them, but there is also a well-documented minority who feel that they were put on to them too readily and have come to deeply regret the decision.
'I made a brash decision'
The best-known example is Keira Bell, a former patient of the Tavistock clinic who was prescribed puberty blockers at the age of 16, testosterone the following year and subsequently took the clinic to the High Court for failing to “challenge” her sufficiently.“I made a brash decision as a teenager, (as a lot of teenagers do) trying to find confidence and happiness, except now the rest of my life will be negatively affected,” she told the court, describing her regret.
The NHS has strict protocols in place to guard against this sort of situation, even if they failed in her case. Children in England and Wales should not be prescribed cross-sex hormones until “around 16”, and after a year on puberty blockers and an extended period of assessment by a multi-disciplinary team.

It's almost like they both live in a fantasy land where people obsess or even think much about "gender" during their day to day lives because they don't have real problems.

If you took away women's votes today, there'd be an immediate referendum to give them back which would pass by a ridiculous landslide because we're living in civilised countries in the year 2021, not in your Handmaid's Tale fanfiction.

Oh, heavyweight and men's sports are far more sensationalized than lightweight and women's sports. That's not something I ever expect to change. Not everyone gets their face on a commercial or a cereal box. That doesn't mean the lightweight and women's competitions are not serious official affairs with their own standards of rules. A top women's athlete should still feel the significance of her accomplishments. Sports can have value outside of mass entertainment.

Transgender YouTube star ‘downloaded child sex abuse images while running child care service’
A popular YouTuber who vlogged about life as a transgender woman downloaded child sex abuse images while running a day care center with her boyfriend, it is claimed. Kadence Pinder, 24, allegedly saved 125 abuse images featuring boys as young as three or four being sexually abused. Her boyfriend Marcus Strebel, 29, is also accused of accessing the illegal images with her. Pinder and Strebel, from Sandy in Utah, were both charged on Tuesday after Google tipped off police to suspected child sex abuse material being uploaded to an account used by the couple.
Deseret News reported that the pair both work for a day care center which operates out of their home. Pinder was previously investigated over an alleged ‘hands-on’ child sexual offense, but the case against her was later dropped. No further details of that allegation have been shared. She previously ran a popular YouTube channel documenting her transition, as well as the realities of life as a transgender person. That account – as well as Pinder’s Instagram and Twitter pages – have lain dormant since 2018.
Pinder previously hit the headlines in 2017 after claiming she was raped by a porn director after attending a casting session. One of Pinder’s final Twitter posts detailed her searches for porn on photo and video sharing site Tumblr, saying: ‘Wait…. You can’t upload porn to @Tumblr anymore??? I thought that’s the only reason people even use #Tumblr? ‘Look at me learnin somethin new everyday.’ When questioned about child abuse material found on her electronic devices, Pinder allegedly told police that she thought the youngsters featured were over the age of consent.
She went on to claim that Strebel also had access to a Google account where the images were stored, and may have downloaded something ‘by accident,’ while browsing Tumblr, police say. During a separate interview, Strebel told police that he and Pinder had come across child abuse material while browsing Tumblr for legal pornography, it is claimed. He denied downloading anything illegal, ABC4 reported. The couple were asked to consent to a search of their phones. Both initially agreed – then changed their minds 30 minutes later, prompting detectives to obtain a search warrant. Pinder and Strebel face a combined 25 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor over the images they are accused of downloading. Both are being held at Salt Lake County Jail without bond ahead of their next court hearing.

wait, child porn of kids 3 to 4 years old, and he somehow thought the images were of people over the age of 18. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

The past few years have seen an unprecedented attack on the trans community in the UK. The British press have monstered transgender people, the High Court has stripped away vital youth healthcare and the Tories have weaponised the fundamental human rights of trans people into a culture war talking point.
It’s no surprise that many trans people have had enough. Grassroots trans-led organisation We Exist have created the first Trans Day of Joy as an antidote to the depressing headlines, working with Dalston Superstore and Fringe! Queer Film and Arts Fest to put on a virtual festival of performances, films and DJ sets, featuring UK queer royalty like Drag Race’s Bimini Bon Boulash, Travis Alabanza and Crystal Rasmussen. All proceeds go towards a fund for trans people in need of lifesaving surgeries and hormone treatment across the UK.
To mark the occasion on Saturday, VICE asked five trans* writers, performers and organisers from the We Exist event – Mandla Rae, biogal_, Donna Marcus, June Bellebono and Vixx – to share what trans joy means to them.
Donna Marcus (they/them): Should we start by sharing what trans joy means to us?
Mandla Rae (they/them): Gosh, it's so many different things. It's being in this virtual space with all of you, it's being called Mandla, it’s choosing my own name, being the person who I know I am, and existing in a way that makes sense, that feels right. It’s figuring out a way to live life with integrity. You know? That’s what trans joy is to me.

Biogal_ (she/they): To me, trans joy is innate. Transness is joy to me. I'm starting to revisualise my transness with metaphors, and the one that feels most apt at the moment is transness as an exhalation, a natural release of pressure. We're given all this shit, and it's tense. It's in our bodies, it's in our lungs. Transness is the moment where we give ourselves space and time to breathe. It can feel like just existing. That usually happens when I'm around other trans people. Because when you're around trans people, often transness isn't an issue or something that comes up, right? We're breathing. That's all we're doing.
June Bellebono (she/they): I love that so much! I actually hate that my mind went straight to validation when thinking of joy. I thought of when the nail lady used she/her pronouns when referring to me, and I'm not gonna lie, that was a very joyful moment. But validation from a cisgender woman shouldn't mean that much to me and it's annoying that it does. I need to unpack that. On a much bigger scale, trans joy is looking at transness as a heritage. There's such a rich Burmese transfeminine culture which is really amazing. In a country where homosexuality is illegal and trans people are not legally recognised, trans people still exist and thrive and have for centuries. It's been really beautiful to discover that history and connect to it.

Vixx (he/him): For me, trans joy is the fact that I feel privileged to be trans. I know I have to be careful because there are so many trans people that don't feel that way. But how many people get the insights into life that we do? Whether that be through soul searching, through society or just through our own instinct. I spent such a large chunk of my life as female. Now I’m living as male and have been for 10 years. I've been lucky enough to see both sides. The other thing is seeing other trans and nonbinary people find their own joy and discover their own beauty. As they go through their own journey, whether they medically transition or not, they are finding their own beauty in the same way that the caterpillar becomes a butterfly.
Biogal_: Yeah, seeing other people discover transness is a huge part of my trans joy. Recently the people I’m living with all consecutively came out as trans and nonbinary. It’s seeing people choose this life, because they saw how joyous it was, and that brought so much joy to me. People get a little bit cagey about the word “choice”. When we use the word choice to a cis audience that reads as inauthentic, right? But I actually think you can sort of choose to be trans.
Marcus: We can choose to be honest with ourselves, we can choose to be true to ourselves and we can be joyful in that. We can choose to prioritise our own joy over repression and oppression.
Vixx: I have actually written a piece of fiction that posits trans people and nonbinary people as an evolutionary leap. We're kind of the end result.
Marcus: I really love the idea that transness is a form of evolution.
Vixx: Who’s to say we're not?
Marcus: Exactly! There's all this rhetoric at the moment where people say “everyone's trans these days” - and you know, what? Maybe we're just moving forward and being more critical of the world around us.
Biogal_: That it’s evolutionary as well posits the fact it's got a past. It’s been developing in our cellular biology, if you will, for generations and generations.

Vixx: A friend of mine was doing a historical timeline of transness. And she went as far back as 6 BC, which would be around the same time as Sappho. We've been here forever, nobody just really paid any attention.
Rae: This connects to the gender binary being created and used during colonialism, and literally enforcing all these values and ways of being to destroy ways of life that weren't “civilised”.
Bellebono: Because transness has been suppressed for so long, I feel like archiving transness in itself is also trans joy.
Vixx: I'm archiving a load of books at the moment. Most are no longer in print. I'm gonna keep those until such time as I need to pass them on. I eventually want to find somewhere where they will be viewed and looked at and used as historical pieces. People need to see them.
Marcus: And in the process of archiving ourselves, we are affirming ourselves within history. We're affirming people who are beyond our circle, and beyond our time and space. We’re taking care to create trans legacy. We have such a long history of being, which has been erased by history, and to stand joyfully and loudly, to say “Hey, we're here” I think is really important.
Rae: Just thinking about affirmation, I was thinking about what you were saying on being gender affirmed, and other people affirming you. It popped into my head the first time I saw the word agender and I was just like, “There's a word for it? Oh. I like that.”
Marcus: It’s like gifting each other language to express ourselves, right?
Biogal_: It's beautiful to think about it as a gift. I've never really thought about it as that. We've given ourselves language and tools to understand each other and to understand ourselves. No one else is getting us those, so we have to do it ourselves.
Rae: I've been on this hunt to find words to describe queerness in my first language and ended up coming across these amazing women in South Africa who started this initiative where they're working with different communities and academics to make up and bring words to life. There's one word, serurubele, and its meaning is someone who is transformative, soft and fluid. I like thinking about definitions that aren't a diagnosis. Because I feel in order to be accepted as trans you have to be diagnosed and whatnot. But transness isn't something that I see as wrong with me or that I need to fix.
Vixx: Should we talk about specific moments of trans joy?
Life
12.14.20
Biogal_: There’s this thing that I do quite regularly with my transmasc girlfriend. And it's a very COVID thing, because it's just us two in a room. They do a DJ set, while I get dolled up. So it's just us in our bedrooms. We don't do anything because it's, you know, corona, so we're not going anywhere. But there's something about that which feels like us like feeding into each other's gender euphoria and each other's joy. This is what humans are meant to be doing. We're meant to be making each other feel loved and lovely.
Bellebono: I feel like trans for trans love is so special and I'm so here for it. Last year me and partner were socially isolating and we’d FaceTime and do our makeup together on camera, mostly in silence. It just felt really special! I'm also going to share when me and Donna met. We were at this club full of the most basic cis gays that you can imagine in like grey t-shirts. Or no t-shirts at all. I was in the queue for the toilet and I just saw Donna fully glammed up, and I was wearing a little mini leather dress, and we looked at each other and pointed at each other and just hit it off?
Marcus: That was such a saviour. Seeing another trans person is like a glimpse of safety.
Rae: I remember meeting this trans woman I'd seen around town occasionally. She'd always remember who I was, and always use the right pronouns. She runs this trans arts organisation and she'd ask me to do something for it. I had this thing of "Oh, I'm not trans enough to be on stage in a trans space". I feel like her seeing me, knowing me, accepting me and encouraging me to take up space was really beautiful.
Biogal_: The idea of not being trans enough is something that really resonates with my experience when I was first coming to terms with my transness. I was really afraid there was going to be this sort of communal inquisition into whether or not I was trans enough? I believed what cis people told me that other trans women would not validate my womanhood. And I've found completely the opposite experience.
Bellebono: I have this friend who I used to work with who’s in her 40s and she's a trans woman. And years ago before I even mentioned anything, she asked me, “Do you see yourself as like a boy?” And I was like no. And she could tell that! It felt good. I love trans validation.
Rae: And much better than cis validation. I started doing this thing where I don't come out. I've stopped having conversations where I explain myself. If you don't get it, then you don't get it. I'm not gonna sit here and try and make you understand. The literature is out there.
Vixx: I guess for me, it's almost the opposite because people wouldn't necessarily look at me and go “Oh, yeah, you're a trans guy”. Generally my attitude is “You have no right to know what's between my legs, unless you're going to be in bed with me, but I will tell you that I am trans”.
Thirty-four years of living as a woman has got me to where I am today, because I've got the advantage of having all those skills. If I can use them to help other people come out or feel better, or to help them understand what life is like, then I will do this in whatever way I know how, to make things easier for people who are coming up behind me. Because the people ahead of me, people like Steven Wittle and Christine Burns, they did all their fighting for me to be able to come out as trans and to ease the way. Even now they're still doing that work. They're still fighting. And they'll probably keep fighting until the day they leave us. And I want to be along that line to make sure that people know there is somebody to listen to, there is somebody to help them, there is somebody to ease their path. Because I feel that might be what I'm here to do.
Marcus: That was really gorgeous.
Bellebono: Do you feel like the trans experience is a radical act?
Biogal_: I think transness has always been radical. And I think that it should be. I think the Tories are terrified of us. And I think they should be because we represent liberation. And I wish that fear was less influential, and I wish their hatred was less influential. I wish our love was more amplified. But do I wish that they weren't terrified of us? No, they should be scared of us. Because it's our joy. It's our transness that will tear them down. And we will do it. We're gonna tear them down.

What's really pathetic is how most of his/her final photos of their "transitioning" phase are heavily drowned in those retarded Snapchat filters and retouching that I keep complaining about in my Tinder rants. Look, faggot, if you were absolutely 100% confident that the hormones and surgery turned you into a real woman, then stop hiding behind the ridiculous filters to smooth out your face and add dog ears like a 12-year old jackass in 2016.
