She’s coming out as trans as a public service to warn everyone about evil AGPs. Next she’s going to come out as a white woman to warn us about The Great Replacement

    If your primary interest in being a woman is sexual, I hope you have a plan for your 40’s and onwards

    Because we all know the moment a woman hits forty, her sexuality just ceases to exist overnight and they never want to have sex or are sexually desired ever again. Transphobes can’t help but shuttle in some misogyny in with the transphobia.

    Fuck people who spread this narrative that you shouldn’t transition unless you feel you have absolutely no other choice. I knew I would have preferred to be a woman for years before I started transitioning, but since I was sometimes “okay” and my depressions mostly seemed unrelated to gender I thought I wasn’t trans enough to actually transition because of ideas like this.

    Even though I’d never call transitioning easy or innocuous (who does she think is doing this?), it has actually given me the capacity to feel happy and fulfilled and I haven’t gone this long without a depressive episode since my early teenage years. aubrey-happy But I never felt like I “had” to do it. I could have chosen to lead an empty, unfullfilled life as a cis man for the rest of my life.

    Also the last paragraph is weird as fuck and the only people I know who try to reduce the trans experience to something primarily sexual are transphobes. But also, I’m pretty sure you don’t need to retire from sex when you pass 40, like is the sex police going to come stop you at that point?

    This one hit me so hard. Because I transitioned long ago, and it’s just that these assholes have never gone away. It’s people who think any experience other than their own is invalid. Back then it was everyone should be tortured by real life test to prove they’re trans enough. And they always position themselves spokespeople for the community, because their experience is the only one that matters.

    To come out publicly for the first time, just so you can pull the ladder up. Fuck you. These people do so much damage, and delay so many people with their nonsense. They’re pure poison and I wish the hurt they do to the community were reflected onto them.

    In conclusion, I want to scream.

    She’s basically getting mad that people give bad takes on Twitter sometimes, and is trying to remedy that by… posting bad takes on Twitter

    the downsides are immense

    compared to the downsides of denying yourself the rest of your life?

    anyway, she’s pathetic

    “Social contagion” is such a hitler-detector way of making this point. Are there some trans people who realized they were trans because of the increased visibility and acceptance of trans people? Yeah, definitely. Nobody is “catching trans” from talking to or seeing trans people out in public though. That’s simply not a thing. These folks were always trans, but hearing more about the trans experience helped them realize it and embrace their identity. That’s a fucking good thing you grifting piece of shit.
