Publishing doctors’ names is a threat
The Nuremberg Files was 1990s anti-abortion doxxing. Some who presumably accessed ACLA material went on to murder abortion doctors. The court awarded millions of dollars in damages. The website was deleted.
I have questions, but Chait says I’m not allowed to ask any
Per Jonathan Chait’s NY Intelligencer column, trans people who ask questions are risking the 2024 election. When will we be allowed to speak? Can we speak up after the election? No, as then we’ll be told to start worrying about the next election.
The ‘man’–‘woman’ porridge has gotta stay in the Goldilocks Zone
Transphobes don’t want to be any more, nor any less, specific. They don’t want more specificity about ‘man’ & ‘woman.’ ‘Cis’ is a slur, they say. They don’t want less specificity either. ‘Person’ is erasure, they say.
Sorry, I’m out-of-body right now
I’ll answer your hate mail in another lifetime. Asking fake questions about etymologies and intra-community debates they don’t care about. They’ll follow up with fake theories about floating out-of-body.

Holly Lawford-Smith shows up for the self-appointed ‘heterodoxy’ at Colorado State University. The Heterodox Academy supports ‘gender-critical feminism,’ whose entire purpose is to exclude trans women and misrepresent trans men.
Barnes: ‘Just think why’ some don’t want their marriage to turn gay!
Journalist Hannah Barnes gets in a dig against same-sex marriage. Why does it matter whether one spouse’s gender change happens before or after the couple’s legal split? This anti-trans article is homophobic.
Books like this cause ‘Irreversible Damage’
Even if you see through it, it wastes your time. What definition of “traditional gender dysphoria” is invoked here? It’s politicized misinformation about transgender identity, using kids as a punching bag.
On Kathleen Stock’s ‘Material Girls’
My reality matters too. She claimed to ‘enthusiastically support’ protecting ‘trans people against violence,’ yet she wants to funnel us into a transgender bathroom.
Helen Joyce’s anti-trans messaging is predictable
She was interviewed by Jay Fantom on ‘The Story Box’ podcast. Every Helen Joyce interview has this basic content. This one’s from 2023. She works from her principle that cis people’s feelings matter most.
A concern troll’s cognitive dissonance: Helen Joyce on trans kids
If your mind is made up, why do you pretend to be open to more data? I used to wonder why people got so anxious over the idea of trans people, and now I realize it’s because they believe contradictory things about us.
