"JK Rowling knew her fans would be deeply unhappy over her trans views"

Her views being...transwomen are worthy of respect and love, but biological realities should not be ignored since they affect and impact cis women? These people need to get a fucking grip. Do they not know that the majority of people don't even agree with Rowling? The average normie thinks being trans isn't even REAL; they don't even think they deserve any kind of public acknowledgment over biological women. JK Rowling is literally more accepting than the average person on the street.

You are wrong, the liberals and progressives should completely double down on this to stop you Nazi's from gatekeeping the extermination camps.

The new platform should be:
1. Any mention of biological genders or using it to gatekeep sports, pregnancies, education, healthcare etc. should be banned or considered hate speech (much like the Nazi flag is banned)
2. Access to healthcare for trans persons should be unlimited and completely free. This will be paid for by a mandatory tax to be paid by cis-gendered white men only
3. Gender affirming care should be legal from the day of birth (or even in the womb when advances in technology allow for it)
4. If trans persons are unable to work they should be taken care of by the state with an allowance of at least $50k a month but up to a $1 million a month if necessary
5. All transphobes should be arrested and prosecuted for crimes committed at any point during their lifetime, they should also lose their right to vote and donate 99% of their savings to trans charities
6. All transphobic content should be removed, deleted or destroyed if one trans person takes offense this rule applies

and most importantly

Eden's death represents a serious atrocity committed to a transgender woman by people who are allowed to operate within the United States

The unnamed "people who are allowed to operate within the United States" are representatives of Islamic family members in Saudi Arabia.

She was in the US illegally, and they essentially forced her to return to Saudi Arabia where she was forced to detransition and then died by suicide.

There is no criticism of the Islamic intolerance of queer identities in the Substack, just criticisms of American states where she did not live.

Also, I have to note that two of the three quoted tweeters in the OP (one of whom is the Substack author) are people who lie constantly on Twitter and almost never say anything accurate about anything.

Setting aside the legitimacy of their claims, if representatives of a Saudi family forced Eden to emigrate back to Saudi Arabia where she was forced to detransition... isn't that... something we should also criticize Saudi Arabia and it's theocratic plutocracy for?

I mean, in addition to the US governments fascist adherence to immigration laws of course.

[benjipwns]

I'm somewhat skeptical of the more specific claim when being forced back to Saudi Arabia ("trafficked" as the tweeters and OP put it) may have been reason enough for someone mentally unwell to go for suicide.

But eliminating the totalitarian border system of the American state may have helped anyway.

That is a question better suited to a lawyer or someone more knowledgeable than me. If I see an answer on Twitter from someone knowledgeable, I will let you know.

That being said, there's actually three people involved, and the third person involved (a lawyer by the name of Bader) almost certainly commit some sort of crime.

beyond depressing, law firm should go under for its help.

I hope every single person involved in that case gets what they deserve.
Just leave trans people alone, for fuck sake.

Being forced to detransition is one of my worst fears, it would kill me, i cannot imagine going back. I feel like i live in a safe country regarding this, but you never know with world leaders like US leading the way in anti-trans legislation, and even if my country doesn't go that way, i'm sometimes afraid of supply chains of our much needed medicine being disrupted somehow. You hear news of drug shortages in certain drugs, how China controls much of the drug manufacturing, etc, and even if that doesn't concern hormones now, my mind still sometimes wanders - "will i have the medicine i need for the rest of my life?". Luckily, drugs like Progynova and Androcur are not for transpeople only, otherwise many of us would be gone already.

This is what the GOP wants for all trans people.

was debating on making this thread in hopes that her message is spread as far as it can. It's been all over trans circles on twitter for the past few days, and it's absolutely heartbreaking. She deserved so much better. Hopefully her story is picked up, she deserves to be heard, for others to see what transphobes want to do to us.

Justice for Eden.

Just randomly chose her, plucked her up and erased her from existence.

I hope karma gets these bastards. Fuck them and everyone that thinks like them.

It wasn't random. Eden's father is wealthy and has ties to the Saudi government. This was all planned to force her to de-transition against her will.

They'd rather force her down a path that gets her killed, than to just let her be herself in peace. Absolutely despicable.

Stories like this just.. I don't even know the words. They're what I fear, and know, the GOP in America sees as a goal.

Yup. She was targeted, found, and (frankly), executed.

This is disgusting.

American conservatives want to be Saudis. Incredibly rich and able to control their population, especially women and LGBTQ+ folks.

A complete violation of human rights on every level. Crazy.

The lengths they went to make sure she suffered. What abhorrent "humans"

I'll do what I can to signal boost.

It's super depressing. I can only imagine that it'd hard enough to have life immediately deal you a difficult hand with birthing you in the wrong body, but then to find out that the one life you're given is one where people will do everything in their power to prevent you from experiencing love, joy, acceptance. It's cruel beyond thinking.

A personal nightmare for me who is currently going out with someone who is trans. Never thought I’d have to do research on what states we’d like to visit for fear of his life, much less countries. Really something that has been very illuminating for me. Just…jeez.

"JK Rowling knew her fans would be deeply unhappy over her trans views"

Her views being...transwomen are worthy of respect and love, but biological realities should not be ignored since they affect and impact cis women? These people need to get a fucking grip. Do they not know that the majority of people don't even agree with Rowling? The average normie thinks being trans isn't even REAL; they don't even think they deserve any kind of public acknowledgment over biological women. JK Rowling is literally more accepting than the average person on the street.

also it barely has anything to do with them

her advocacy tends to revolve around maintaining women's spaces for the unique challenges and experiences that cis women face, sure if you're trans you can try to force your way into those groups but you're going to make everyone uncomfortable and most of the discussion isn't going to be relevant to you, no matter how much you want to pretend you've started getting a period now

Barely has anything to do with them? I think it has nothing to do with them. Biological men like the ones on Ree are never going to be able to understand the realities of being socialized female, having a functioning female reproductive system, or being disadvantaged under the patriarchy. It doesn't matter how many times they scream "Transwomen are women" either. Rowling advocates for things that 99% of transwomen evidently have very little understanding of or personal interaction with, which is why they're so eternally assblasted about not being able to be part of the conversation.

There is no reason why a group of 30-40 year old+ white males (going by that mini census they did that one time) should be so obsessed with a woman who is specifically trying address female problems.

I could understand the "what an asshole" takes for not wearing a mask before the vax came out, but now the mask stuff is just virtue signaling. Even moreso with it being 2023. Wear one if you want to, but I'm not going to wear one at all unless I'm in close quarters with someone who's legitimately immunocompromised.

Not surprised Ree has latched onto this since it gives them yet another meaningless thing to spaz out about and bring up the next time Tilda is mentioned.

Ain’t reading the thread, but should be said many of the mandates aren’t strict for the actors. It’s the crew and such. As vain and self serving as actors are, some recognize how odd it is for the help to be masked and treated as less than. Actors speak on their behalf. Tilda, like other great Asian male leaders, is simply promoting communism.

Shut up. This "All or nothing" approach to allyship they have been using has been highly successful in gaining them support among the general population and especially among traditional working class leftists.

All they need to do now is go after some more beloved children's book authors for not wanting to acknowledge biological women have different experiences than trans women and capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy will be defeated once and for all and trans people will live in harmony with nature and the take a carrot, leave a carrot system of social organisation will mean that hookup knives will be a thing of the past.

I didn't like them at first, I received a small dinky cloth mask from work that wasn't too great but got the job done. Turns out I like it as a fashion accessory when it fits well while doubling as a good layer of protection and helping with facial dysphoria, I now have a comfy FFXIV- themed mask that I wear anytime I'm out of the house or my car. Covid or not, I'm gonna keep wearing it.

Does anyone remember that guy on GAF in the Post Your Pic thread who was handsome as hell, but he claimed he had "facial dysphoria" and constantly fished for compliments by saying how ugly he was.  Someone has to remember that guy

gender is a social construct

trans people force other people to recognise them as a gender that is completely made up

but progressives want to abolish gender https://lgbtq.hkspublications.org/2021/07/25/how-to-abolish-gender/

why do progressives hate trans people so much

The day any US president doesn't treat China with boxing gloves, traditional republicans would start calling for internment camps for chinese immediately

It's actually good for zoomers to kill off facebook and twitter

embrace socialisms so the people can have free internet and people with irony brains can fund projects that are like neocities and that one thing that's trying to be like myspace for zoomers

reject modernity
embrace tradition

What if we did not stop at patriarchy and dismantled gender hierarchies entirely? This article does not intend to make a case for or against this project, but rather hopes to investigate how one could go about dismantling gender from a policy perspective. Of course, because gender has sociological, cultural, medical, legal, historical, and religious influences, its abolition requires a complete rewrite of the most basal aspects of society. Doing so would certainly require much more than policy action alone. However, because our society constantly reinforces gendered material divisions through its institutions and economic incentives, to abolish gender requires the elimination of these structures through policy action. Policies like universal health care, abolishing the prison industrial complex, establishing universal basics and a care economy, guaranteeing housing as a right, and modifying our bureaucracies can drastically reduce the material reproduction of gender and effectively lay the foundation for a social movement to eliminate its influence entirely.

Well, when you put it like that, when do we start, Morgan?

Additionally, because most US health care is for-profit,[19] switching to a universal, public system would reduce incentives to promote unnecessary or dangerous treatments to marginalized groups.

Universal health care does not eliminate disparities based upon discrimination, but it does offer some relief. Notably, gender-affirming procedures such as hormone therapy or breast reconstruction surgery are often provided to cisgender people as part of insurance plans (during menopause or after an accident, for example), but considered elective or medically unnecessary for transgender and GNC people with the same aims.[20] Likewise, intersex people are frequently forced to have surgery at birth to conform to binary conceptualizations of sex.[21] Through these practices, the medical field economically and anatomically reproduces and enforces gender and sex norms. A robust, universal system of health care coverage is necessary to prevent this.

Starting when heterosexual, monogamous marriages became the foundation of the capitalist reproductive unit, the state has used law to criminalize sexuality and gender expression that does not conform to this description.[22] The effects of this are felt today, where transgender and GNC people, especially those who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), are overrepresented in the criminal punishment system.[23] In addition to imprisonment or deportation, contact with this system can have long-lasting material effects through stigmatization; lack of access to jobs, education and loans; disease and injury; and death.[24] Policing also has a profound oppressive effect through violently enforcing universal conformity to gender norms.[25] Though this especially affects transgender and GNC people, the cultural effect of these hundreds of years of oppression affects how everyone behaves and interacts with others.[26]

Reforming this system is not an option because reform usually means a greater presence of the criminal punishment system into people’s lives, increasing the contact and, subsequently, the criminalization of transgender and GNC people,[27] and because, historically, reforms have been ineffective.[28] To resist criminalization’s material reproduction of gender, we must remove existing structures and redesign the system in accordance with abolitionist principles.

Though a deep review of abolitionist literature is beyond the scope of this article, its main tenets are to meet community needs to address the social determinants of crime, demilitarize the various institutions that fuel punishment, and shift to a restorative and rehabilitative model of justice.[29] This approach understands that the safest areas are not those with the most prisons or police but the opposite, and that lack of access to resources is a primary driver of crime.[30] Here, community needs include access to housing, health care, and dignified employment, which are discussed in depth elsewhere in this section. Some institutions to reform or eliminate include education, surveillance, immigration, and government benefits.

Thus, the measurement and administration of gender by the state and other bodies causes and enables harm. Ending this is necessary to end gender. However, as is the thesis of this work, doing so before extensive policy action and a successful social movement have interrupted the material reproduction of gender would instead make this process of continuous inequality harder to measure. Therefore, ending the bureaucratic measurement and administration of gender is necessary, but must be the last stage in a society-wide transformation.

Without ending the measurement and administration of gender, it will continue to be reborn through bureaucratic discrimination and the unequal provision of resources to sectors or services with proportionate more people of marginalized genders and sexualities.

Though the implementation of these policies will make enormous strides in reducing the material consequences of gender, and although policy action is necessary to abolish gender, policy action alone is insufficient. To truly eliminate the influence of one of the most pervasive psychic phenomena from our society would require a popular mass movement mobilizing and educating large swaths of society. Further, this social movement could not focus on gender alone if it hopes to be successful. The disparities caused by gender are part of the capitalist superstructure, meaning they are inextricably linked to ableism, neuronormativity, and racism. This is reflected in the fact that many of the above policy recommendations also disproportionately benefit those affected by racism, neuronormativity, and ableism. However, as with gender, these policies are not enough to solve these issues alone.

That being said, gender-inclusive spaces often reproduce racial inequalities, especially assimilationist LGBTQ+ groups solely focused on bureaucratic reforms.[55] Because of the intergenerational conceptualization of race and unique history of oppression at the intersection of race and gender, successful gender abolitionist policy and a successful social movement to support it must be anti-racist.

In summary, the road to gender abolition is complex and all-encompassing. It would affect nearly every aspect of society and every individual. That being said, there is a place to start. By implementing universal health care, abolishing the prison industrial complex, establishing universal basics and a care economy, guaranteeing housing as a right, and modifying our bureaucracies, we can severely limit the material consequences of gender. People of all genders would then have much more equal lives—free to dress, act and love without the fear of massive material consequences and structural violence that exists today. A world without gender is then ours for the making.

Never saw any of this coming at all from the author bio, it's so brave and stunning.
