[...] a fundamental mismatch between the queer community at large and transgender women.

I fully support a greater spotlight on those supporting the often much more niche GL space, but saying that "himejoshi" is another name for a himedanshi is an absolutely damning mistake considering the amount of work women put into promoting it π

it's really cool how "you don't 'have' a sex you are weighed against [the structure] sex" is the last and ultimate piece of the puzzle that truly allows being nonbinary to "click" and feel meaningful. like wow sex is not "a feature of you" it's something imposed on diverse & complex individuals??
New study showing that there is no significant increase in anger or aggression in trans people who have been on T for a year.
With most either remaining at the same normal levels of anger or even going from higher-than-normal to normal levels over the year.
and with threats of the president to force Voter ID, it would essentially mean they disenfranchised 0.8% of the population that disproportionately votes one way overnight
Surveyors across the country looking at women's institutes:
"You don't want to remove that that's a load bearing transsexual. If you take that out the whole thing will come tumbling down"

I misspoke a bit. This is all particularly true of Zoomer women. Zoomer men sometimes act more inclusive and accepting but it depends
My experience with millennial women is that they tend to be a bit more outwardly accepting, outwardly expressing queerness, but internally conflicted. Whereas Zoomers are much more comfortable with trans people and queer sexuality. Including their own queer sexuality
the proliferation of Zoomer voices who are less resentful of trans women β and in fact see them as equals β is a major gain that will likely increase further as activism and acceptance among peers continues. Anti-trans politics are prominent but not very popular overall
While Gen Z itself is very polarized, 7 yearsβ time gave birth to a new generation filled with a lot of young people who simply do not fall for the old transmisogynistic tricks. These Zoomers grew up thinking trans women are women and arenβt as skeptical about it. While not universal among Gen Z,

britain being ground zero of the worldwide sexed body moral panic is also bringing back the stereotype of all working class women as simultaneously lascivious, lustful, and serpentine (community w the transfeminine) & overly masculine, unkempt, and physical (community w the transmasculine)

Martyrs of Gaza @GazaMartyrs This is my will and my final message. If my words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. God knows that I have given all my effort and strength to be a support and a voice for my people since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that God would grant me life to return with my family and loved ones to our original town of Ashkelon (Al-Majdal), occupied land. But God's will was swifter, and His decree is binding. I lived pain in all its details, tasted grief and loss repeatedly, yet I never hesitated to convey the truth as it isβ-without distortion or falsificationβ hoping God would bear witness against those who remained silent, those who accepted our killing, those who besieged our breaths, and whose hearts were not moved by the shattered bodies of our children and women, nor did they stop the massacre our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine, the jewel of the Muslim world and the pulse of every free heart in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its innocent children who were not granted the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart, their remains scattered on the walls. l urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward liberating the land and the people until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you with my family. I entrust you with the apple of my eye, my beloved daughter, Sham, whom fate did not allow me to see grow as I dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son, Salah, whom I wished to support and accompany until he grew strong, carrying my burden and continuing the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose prayers were the reason I reached where I did. Her supplications were my fortress, and her light my path. I pray God to ease her heart and reward her abundantly on my behalf. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah Bayan, from whom war separated us for long days and months, but who remained faithful, steadfast like an olive tree trunk that never bends, patient and devout, carrying the trust in my absence with strength and faith. I urge you to gather around them and be their support after God Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast on my principles, bearing witness to God that I am satisfied with His decree, believing in meeting Him, and certain that what is with God is better and everlasting. O God, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path to freedom for my people and family.
Forgive me if I fell short, and pray for me mercy, for I have remained true to the covenant, never changing or betraying it. Do not forget Gaza... And do not forget me in your good prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what Anas ordered to be published upon his martyrdom.
