Because if you truly think that, I got a bridge to sell you.

This is not about science for the transphobes. Even if you don't care about the gender dysphoria of trans people and think we'll just get over it, please see this encroachment on EVERYONE'S rights for what it is.

Sorry to keep ranting about this, but if I can reach even a single cis person who's never thought about this, it's worth it.

Let's say I got it tested and it turns out I have XX chromosomes. Do you think a rightwinger will then go "Oh okay, you get to live as a woman and continue taking estrogen"?

There is nothing so special about sex that they can’t come for you too. They can build a movement of disgust and rage about any part of your past, and they will blame it on whatever they think solid enough to support their hatred.

Exactly! There's no end to the fantastical answers to how this premise happened! Anyone going "Uhhhh OBVIOUSLY this is a WALL-E situation" is not being serious.

It's by no means a small or harmless thing, what the fascists are doing, but it also won't work in the end.

I do strongly believe most people are done with the various forms of homophobia/transphobia of centuries past, but because a bunch of butthurt grandpas wanted to throw a temper tantrum to set us back a couple decades, we need to wait until they die before we can move on.

Cardboard sign on a wooden pole: There is no way to police trans people out of public life without simultaneously creating an apparatus of violence- (the sign is ripped, cutting off the rest of the text)

They will come for you after they're finished with us.

As for intersex people born with genitals that don't fit into either box, what then? Do THEY get to decide what sex characteristics they have?

My guess would be no. Because this isn't about appealing to nature, it's about controlling the bodies of undesirables.

Having been born with a penis doesn't prove I have XY chromosomes.

I PROBABLY do, but getting that tested is something few people have a reason to do, and we KNOW one doesn't always correlate with the other.

They're using transparently stupid sleight of hand to say it's all binary and immutable.

Yeah like I actually think it's an interesting twist, going that hard on real life issues, but it's still a *twist* lol

What transphobes call "sex" is entirely based on the genitals observed at birth while they stick their fingers in their ears and go "LA LA LA NOT LISTENING SHUT UP I'M IN CHARGE" when it's explained to them that's not how sex works.

It shouldn't fall to trans people to explain to cis people why creating laws that effectively amount to "If you have or ever had a penis, you must behave this way; If you have, or ever had a vagina, you must behave this other way" is horrifically dangerous for everyone's rights.

This is a franchise in which mythical beasts control the weather, and several different alternate dimensions have been successfully traversed through by children.

"Flee to space to escape climate change" is not on the bingo card

Yeah the lore clues I found only told me that the humans evacuated and that there were extreme weather events.

6. The court’s logic is hypocritical: it says the ban applies equally to everyone, even though only trans people seek this care for gender dysphoria. As Sotomayor noted in Skrmetti, that is like banning interracial marriage for everyone and calling it equal treatment.

if you’re a cis person about to heckle a trans woman on this site just like maybe give us today as a free one

I've played for over 35 hours, btw (some of it was idling, but far less than usual for me).

You can INFER the backstory goes full WALL-E fairly early in, but that kind of premise has never been seen before in Pokemon? I'm not primed as a fan for 30 years to assume such a thing.

Yes but I would think if someone was saying "[X] media is saying [Y] theme because this character survives the entire thing" when it turns out they die at the end, I would hope your friend would know to shut the fuck up.

Maybe a "Keep watching/playing" at most.

What funny is I was already spoiled from a Pokopia stream I was watching last night.

But I didn't know that when I first made that post, and that asshole was still being an asshole.

Spoilers for Pokémon Pokopia.

I'm unsure what their game plan was here. If I already knew that reveal so they think I would have made the post I did?

They blocked me after this, as if they were shocked the dumbass they wanted to school might give the slightest pushback.

Well clearly I didn't.

So again, thanks. It was super cool of you. I bet you're great at parties and have lots of friends.

Malacyte with bigger boobs for fun

stop the count, marta is another tyler durden and this is a movie about toxic masculinity blowing itself up so that all the men can become women. no, why are you still counting? the facts are right there, damn you!!

my review of flight club

Thanks for the spoiler, super fucking cool of you

"If I simply legislate the natural world to fit into my childlike understanding of biology, then the trannies will magically disappear forever and my grandkids will call me"

It would be bad enough to have to suffer this constant assault on our humanity regardless, but that we have to do so under the orders of baby-brained ignorant cunts who don't even understand how HRT or basic facts about sex functions on any level should be patently absurd to everyone, any yet,

I need our cis allies to understand that even if we WANTED to comply with this fascistic crackdown on our bodily autonomy, many of us fucking CAN'T.

I haven't had a dick since 2019. How the fuck am I meant to appreciate being a man in the eyes of those that argue one requires the other?

I developed breasts with feminizing HRT. I also got silicone implants on top of that, but let's say I for some reason wanted to try "appreciating my sex" and got the silicone removed.

Breasts don't go away when you go on testosterone. That's what the breast binders y'all are trying to ban are for.

For what it's worth I have to assume the Netflix show will be a great opportunity to retcon some things.
