When I was a teen, I was harmed by transmedicalists telling me that I couldn’t be trans because I was not 100% sure I wanted “the surgery” It was so pervasive that I internalized it and it took me about 20 years to realize I was trans instead of a gay man with a gender transformation kink

Yeah, they've been nonconsensually applying it to trans and n-b people here for like a year and refuse to stop, always sniveling out excuses for why it's different when THEY do it. They've been trying to cite Whipping Girl, despite Serano having explicitly written it's a synonym for "cisgender".
The Nerdskull (@nerdskull.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep. They’re trying to redefine the word transmedicalism to mean only “medical gatekeeping” though so they can’t be transmedicalists. I’m serious, that’s their logic.

The clique at work in this affair has been hurling this word at trans people who haven’t medically transitioned (like myself) even though we are clearly trans. Also NB people (often in spite of the NB people in question taking hormones)

Basicall: there's a clique of bigoted and abusive trans women spreading crypto terf rhetoric to paint a subset of trans people as lesser-thans. "Cissexual" literally means the same as "cisgender", but they're nonconsensually applying it to untransitioned people to paint them as harassment targets.

It's just a baffling political strategy. Make it extremely clear that a certain demographic will not be protected by you, while saying, directly to them, that the demographic in question MUST vote for you or you lose. "You're not important to protect" and also "We NEED you!" Worked in 2024 right?

Why not define who "us" is in the formulation "harder for us to win elections." Why not define what it means "to win?" Why not note that the remediation in question is one that has never been championed or attempted by the party it apparently hurts, or that the party not attempting it has failed?
A.R. Moxon (@juliusgoat.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Why not start with "abolish slavery?" Or with "end Jim Crow?" Or with "gay marriage rights?" Why not start with any other proposal that correctly identified a clear injustice, and clearly identified the correct solution, which were also very unpopular with people who dislike solutions to injustice?
