Transphobia is a form of denialism
We have to counter Holocaust denial, and also transphobia. Transphobia is an ideological lie. Certain arguments can identify and deconstruct it. (Transgender atheist Jews, by the way, also have humanities degrees.)

Hate-crimers and their pronouns
Ignore the Club Q shooter’s statement of gender identity. A homophobic, transphobic murderer says they’re what? Let’s differentiate good-faith and bad-faith declarations, as well as reality and fiction.

The people who use LGB-minus-T are homophobes
Brendan O’Neill does not support gay marriage and is impressed with the LGB Alliance. Yes, everyone may speak their mind. What’s on mine: Gay organizations that are trans-exclusive are homophobic too in complicated ways. Homophobes love this.

Trump exec order repeats: Schools forfeit funds for accepting trans people
Trump’s anti-trans executive order #8. They want to shut down individual trans people & they don’t want to leave room for any trans person to claim they’re discriminated against for being trans.

Rescinded: ‘Advancing the Human Rights of LGBTQI+ People Around the World’
Trump’s anti-trans executive order #7. I’m surprised anyone would still be asking ‘Does Trump support LGBTQI+ rights?’ 10 years after he escalatored onto the campaign trail.

Helen Joyce celebrates the 2025 trans U.S. military ban (TalkTV)
She doesn’t have stats on who it may affect, but she doesn’t want us to be trans anywhere. The anti-trans movement is excited by Trump’s 2025 Inauguration Day order defining male and female as unchangeable and acknowledging no other genders.

3 out of 525,600 minutes: U.S. military budget for gender transition
We can collectively afford gender-affirming healthcare. We know what a world with less military spending would look like. Trans people aren’t what plagues our shared existence. We aren’t what needs to be cut out.
