the haters freely use both sets of frameworks to try and fuck with us, unencumbered by belief in anything in particular besides just wanting to pass a law making us stop breathing or whatever. if we were unified in lockstep one way or another it would change nothing

rly feels like this is the most insane-making aspect of this kinda discursive fighting, like its glaringly obvious what any given ideological tentpole would be bent into shape for when the ultimate goal isnt to accept our framework but to state-mandate our deaths and discarding

If truscum were the more popular faction they'd try to court radical gender abolitionists to destroy the whole movement. It's tactical.

neither side has a monopoly on problems, crises, privilege, ignorance, insight, historical continuity or amnesia. this argument has been around some way or another for longer than i've been alive, and i'm increasingly an old fart

if you're on transmedicalism it's "my trans opps are embarrassing but should still be able to get treated for their dysphoria, even if they play games about it". if you're on bodily autonomy it's "even if my trans opps are neanderthals they don't deserve to be fucked with on existing in a body"

all to say: chill. focus on the enemy. bury the fucking hatchet with your neighbors, or at least put it the fuck away
