I see that terfs are scaremongering about phalloplasty again, so here’s my graft site. I love my trans body—all of it. And I love your trans bodies, too.
Is there not a world in which one can be supportive of the transgender community and curious about the fairness of Trans athletes in sport yet not be labeled a transphobe or a bigot as we ask questions? Do we yet know the answers? And do we even want to know the answers?
CA legal advice sought: several moms of daughters who have had their birth certificates changed to say they were 'born male' are interested in filing a Letter of Protest.
This letter would be sent to the hospitals where are daughters were born, as well as to the local county Vital Records Office, and Governor @GavinNewsom
Could anyone recommend an attorney who might be interested in reviewing our draft letter? We are happy to cover their time.
Side note: My daughter's birth certificate 'gender marker' was changed to male when she was 15 in the Yolo County Superior Courtroom even though my attorneys (Vernadette Broyles and Mary McAlister) had help me with preparing excellent arguments against it. This was 2021, my daughter has since desisted.
The other moms have adult daughters who have changed their birth certificates but we all believe these agencies are creating false documents.
Appreciate any ideas or feedback! 🙏

I'm writing about a 1949 case where a trans teen went to a Wisconsin hospital for a vaginoplasty, but at the last minute the doctors changed their minds and were like "lol no that would be mutilation BUT can we interest you in a lobotomy"
Cis parents of trans kids reach out to me every now and then, and I always tell them that they're allowed to feel whatever they're feeling, but that they absolutely should not process that *with* or *at* their trans child
At dinner the other night someone asked what the evil version of you would do for a living and everyone else said "lawyer" or "consultant" but in my heart I knew my truth was "megachurch pastor"
are you trans enough for hrt? buddy if your dad went to a doctor and said “I’m feeling a little tired” he would leave the clinic with a two-liter of testosterone
the absolute gall of insisting that "transgender" is a uniquely modern concept while insisting that all of human history understood gender through "biology," a term coined in 1819
I don’t talk about my hysterectomy much since it’s not one of the Big Flashy trans surgeries, but it was a huge relief to have it, and everyone who wants one should be able to get it immediately with no bullshit
Today marks my 11th year since starting testosterone. Transitioning saved me; it gave me a life worth living, pleasures I couldn’t even have imagined. Maybe transition would do that for you, too. I want you to have everything.
As for the woman seeking care, her story ends about as well as these things could: after getting jerked around by specialists for a few years, she gave up and went to Sweden, where she finally got her fucking surgery.
🚨TRUMP IS TRYING TO BAN HEALTHCARE FOR TRANS KIDS🚨
@nyulangone is one of the few hospitals in the country that's begun withholding life-saving healthcare for trans kids. Join us for an emergency rally tomorrow. Demand NYU Langone reverse this decision!

Today I turn 39, an age I never thought I’d reach. It was impossible for me to envision a trans adulthood, but here I am. My birthday wish is that whatever you want for your body, for your life, for your world, you’ll have it.
the great thing about twitter is watching all the novelists and journalists who have made careers out of treating trans people like little thought experiments find out that we're real and we're MEAN
When people ask me about hormones, I try to explain how slow the time of transition is. To clarify, I thought I might make my own timeline available, in case it is of some small use, starting here, with me pre-t
Sorry but if you post this pic of me into transphobic threads as some sort of gotcha, I will have to block you. I don't need those losers washing up over here.
