QT/trans: What makes you want to be involved in the debate or advocating for trans rights? What would need to be achieved to make you stop?

submitted by peakingatthemomentTranssexual (natal male), HSTS from self.GCdebatesQT

What motivates our QT or trans members to participate? I could ask for GC too, but I feel like know the answers for most people here. What would need to happen with trans rights for you to just not care anymore? Is it achievable?

For me, I feel like it was a lot better 15+ years ago when trans stuff was getting much less attention and wasn’t as demanding. I feel like the world didn’t need to change for us (transsexuals that is), but others might feel differently.

Honestly, I'm tired of being bullied into feeling I'm supposed to protect abusive trans people and their enablers and pretend like they don't exist. Protecting the transgender identity and "image" at all costs, at the expense of everyone's safety and well-being is so, sooo wrong in my eyes. I was very happy to just stay away from it all and ignore it for years, but the contradiction of being encouraged to call out abusive non-trans males but be bullied into silence when calling out abusive trans biological males really got to me. That, and seeing children and young adults pushed into transitioning and undergoing medical treatments with little to no scrutiny (like, scrutiny seems discouraged actually) or attempts at any other kind of help just made me so upset with TRAs and medical professionals.

Really, I feel like all that really needed to happen for transsexuals was just awareness and education being made available to more people, just to have more people understand what transsexualism is. Any discrimination or hostility experienced by transsexual people could just be lessened by increasing peoples' understanding of it. The world definitely didn't really need to change in any other way but that, honestly. Well, and just going back to the way things were--there'd at least be research continuing into maybe better treatments for transsexuals, and getting closer to being able to prevent transsexualism and gender dysphoria from happening in the first place, at least to the degree that people feel transition is the only option.

There seems to be a growing number of people questioning the modality of the current state of trans rights activism, thankfully. I feel like trans people themselves have the most power to make significant changes to this as quickly as possible, so I feel it's only responsible of me to not ignore it now that I'm aware and speak in criticizing these practices. I think so long as it's important to show that not all of us condone such bad behavior and these practices and beliefs, I'll probably keep doing so, but seeing the growing pushback is giving me a little more peace of mind. Seeing other trans people voicing their concerns is giving me the most hope, and I suppose that seeing more trans people say "this is wrong", then I'll feel like I can quit being so riled up and make more time for good books and learning about other things to be upset about! I'm hopeful that the world will go back to (or evolve into) a more sensible place regarding all of this.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Makes sense. I don't really have much to add. We share many of the same frustrations.

Really, I feel like all that really needed to happen for transsexuals was just awareness and education being made available to more people, just to have more people understand what transsexualism is. Any discrimination or hostility experienced by transsexual people could just be lessened by increasing peoples' understanding of it.

Do we know though? I feel like we know symptoms and I guess we can describe some of the feelings. So much is still unknown.

I always imagine, if we could take all the resources being spend to normalize it and focused it on breaking down gender roles and research into causes, what could happen.

I hope you are right! I go back and forth between being hopeful and feeling like it's going to get so much worse. I hope it's getting better. Some amount of people seem to be paying attention. In my life professionally, everything and everyone has completely bought in though. I'm still waiting for when I get pulled aside and questioned about why I don't put pronouns in the bio and signature (even if it was just an informal ask). It's getting more performative and disconnected from reality and I feel like its going to get worse before it gets better. :(

That's a good point--I guess come to think of it, I'm not sure what that education may look like, like what we could actually share as solid fact that would be most important to know. Maybe sharing what we do know might be helpful, if that information isn't overwhelming, like you say: the feelings, symptoms...maybe even just the concept that some women live as men, some men live as women (which probably wouldn't be news to most people).

I just really really want it to be the case, it's just a bit depressing to think that it might not be. Maybe I'm in denial. All that stuff with preferred pronouns and identity > sex does seem to be getting totally unavoidable everywhere.

Lowkey agree. Visibility is, honestly, the bane of trans people. I've got some words about the more visible sect of trans people, but that maybe isn't for this topic...

What would need to happen with trans rights for you to just not care anymore?

Proper medical care for trans people. That's not just 'go into clinic, get hormones'. That's proper studies (on both medication and GD as a disorder), proper access to medical care worldwide (and defense against attacks on that access), and an improvement of what at this point is basically medieval standards of care.

Is it achievable?

HAH.

IDK, maybe, I'd settle for any one of the points happening in the next 10-15 years, but I'm not holding my breath.

[–][deleted] 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I feel similarly about visibility, but that maybe just the most basic information being more available would be helpful for those who seek it out, like taking away the stigma or taboo that sort of made that information less accessible in the past.

Sure, absolutely, I don't think this conflicts with the visibility of individuals at all. Honestly I'd say at least a moderate amount of informational availability would help tremendously, especially for trans youth and young adults navigating the medical and legal world, with professionals in said fields knowing how to properly handle trans cases.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 5 fun3 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 5 fun -  (41 children)

Visibility is how we end stigma and get rights protected so no it’s not the bane of trans people.

Medieval level of care? Please you’re being incredibly hyperbolic

I like visibility of GNC people, but I don’t like trans visibility. I don’t want little girls and boys to feel like the only way they can be themselves is to transition. Some amount of people will be trans regardless, but we shouldn’t model it because it’s not the best outcome. It should be like a last resort.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 6 fun1 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 6 fun -  (27 children)

It is the best outcome for trans people and thus we need trans visibility. That includes allowing children to learn about being trans and deciding for themselves if they want to pursue that.

[–][deleted] 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (20 children)

That includes allowing children to learn about being trans and deciding for themselves if they want to pursue that.

That just seems so inappropriate and potentially harmful though. Children can't consent, and the repercussions of transitioning when it isn't the best option can be disastrous, especially the earlier it starts. I hate seeing children suffer too, but there has to be a better way to address this.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 6 fun1 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 6 fun -  (19 children)

Children can absolutely consent to medical care, and I mean it’s not like the vast, vast, majority of adult patients understand medical treatments to make a truly informed decision in most cases. Deciding whether or not to transition is something that children and adolescents can decide to undertake. See Gillick Competency:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillick_competence

[–]peakingatthemomentTranssexual (natal male), HSTS[S] 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Vast majority of gender dysphoric children desist sometime during puberty. Taking an affirmative approach that blocks or interrupts puberty creates transsexuals from people who would have otherwise desisted. Those are facts. It’s child abuse to push transition when most kids desist just because trans adults wish they could have transitioned sooner. I was forced to wait years before I could do anything medically and I am fine. The kids who need to transition to be okay will be able to. And please don’t gaslight me about suicide, I felt that way too, but the numbers show most of us will make it through that period.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 6 fun1 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 6 fun -  (2 children)

Pretty sure that studies show that after puberty desistance levels plummet, so those desistance rates only apply to children. Puberty blockers have been deemed safe by the medical community and there is no evidence that they cause people who would have other wise desisted from doing so.

You are using gaslighting wrong, but studies show that early transition care reduces suicide rates. Preventing children from accessing transition care is the actual child abuse

Yes, not after the beginning of puberty or after Tanner III. Literally after puberty.

I’m just going to leave it there though because I can’t on this subject without making myself upset.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 6 fun1 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 6 fun -  (0 children)

You’re wrong, desistance drops off sharply after age 13

[–][deleted] 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (14 children)

That article says that Bell v Tavistock ruled that children under sixteen years old can't give informed consent for puberty blockers to treat gender dysphoria, though.

The reality of adults giving consent for medical treatment that they don't fully understand does not and should in no way extend to children. A child is still a developing human being, and as such is not biologically comparable to a fully-grown adult.

What facts are you referring to?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 6 fun2 insightful - 5 fun3 insightful - 6 fun -  (11 children)

That children can consent, and that the opinion of non-medical experts who are almost certainly prejudiced have no bearing on the actual reality of the situation. It’s like how a law against homosexuality doesn’t actuallY make homosexuality immoral just because someone with legal power says so.

[–]peakingatthemomentTranssexual (natal male), HSTS[S] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

I don’t think trans people are a discrete group necessarily before people transition, especially with kids. It would have helped me a lot more to have more exposure to gender nonconformity at a young age than it would have to see trans people. If someone needs to transition to be okay, they will. The only thing pushing visibility does is treat it like an identity people can assume and the explosion of people “finding out they are trans” by acting out the identity on the internet or through social networks illustrates that I feel like.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 6 fun1 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 6 fun -  (4 children)

There is far more depictions of gender nonconformity in media than there are of trans people

[–]peakingatthemomentTranssexual (natal male), HSTS[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I don’t think that’s true at all.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 6 fun1 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 6 fun -  (2 children)

Probably because gender nonconformity has been so normalized for you that you don’t notice it as much as portrayals of trans people. Do you consider depictions of women with short hair and men with long hair as gender nonconformity for instance?

[–]peakingatthemomentTranssexual (natal male), HSTS[S] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah, I don’t consider those gender nonconformity.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 6 fun1 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 6 fun -  (0 children)

Do you believe that people today do not get pushback for such hairstyles by people whom view them as less attractive on people of their gender?

What sort of visibility do think is helpful? I feel like there's more than one way to interpret that word/phrase in this context and I'm actually starting to get a little confused and wondering if we're defining it differently

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 4 fun2 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 4 fun -  (6 children)

Media visibility, Real life visibility, having people who know and have personal relationships with trans people i.e. friends, family, coworkers

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Do you think it's necessary for more trans people to be "out" then, or that people should be making it clear that they're trans? Like, disclose their history to more people?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 5 fun -  (4 children)

I think it would lead to faster acceptance but as the history of civil rights movement shows individuals who do so often bear the blowback. So I’d say it’s an individual decision about what’s important

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

You may be right about that. Is there any alternative that you can see as being more powerful than just visibility? I mean, I guess that's why I brought up awareness before...like being able to elucidate our existence, but also maintain our personal privacy.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 5 fun2 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 5 fun -  (2 children)

Hm, not sure. I feel like often people are feeling based rather than fact based so I feel like building empathy through familiarity is the best method rather than education, however that comes about.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Ahhh I think I understand what you're saying, I really like the sound of that approach! I mean, I personally feel like I don't have the education or knowledge to really share any scientific facts with confidence, but I think there's something to be said about the power of human connection :) Just being the person you are and treating others as the people they are is such a simple notion, but can have so much impact.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 6 fun2 insightful - 5 fun3 insightful - 6 fun -  (0 children)

Indeed. Empathy and love will always lead to a better place for everyone imo

Yes, standards of care promoting oral estrogen and spironolactone as the foremost treatment for TW is what I would call medieval.

For years they told us oral and transdermal were just as effective while we said that we saw better results on injections than other methods. Low and behold we now have studies backing up our experiences 😑

Makes sense. I'm sure if won't be perfectly where you want by then.

What's wrong with the standards of care in your view?

The fact that they hold an almost archaic view of how hormones should be used. I won't bore you with the boring medical stuff, but a lot of what's stated in regards to hormone regimens for both FTM and MTF is just so outdated and wrong.

There's the whole two entirely different doctors you would need to properly diagnose you to get two letters of referrals thing that isn't at ALL classist as hell.

I could go on. Luckily they aren't literal rules so much as guidelines, but the issue arises that they're the ONLY guidelines, and so people get caught up in them, since again, the majority of medical professionals know almost nothing about trans people.

Makes sense. I'm sure if won't be perfectly where you want by then.

Oh, they definitely won't be anywhere close.

Freedom of expression is my primary concern. I want trans rights activists to stop trying to silence those with dissenting views. Trans rights are human rights, but no one can use the human rights of one group as an excuse to destroy the human rights of others. I especially want trans rights activists to stop denying existence of biological sex because denying reality makes trans people look like loons. We are also not perpetual victims.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Trans rights activist certainly seem like they are doing a lot more harm than good. It’s so sad the way language has shifted in trans communities about sex. In the early 00s, before “cis” was around, transsexuals would use bio-woman and bio-man or female and male and there was nothing offensive about it. People knew what they were. Everything went insane when “cis” came in and QT became normalized.

My original motivation was curiosity. I've always been curious about adverse opinions and just wanted to know what's up. Now I participate both to keep an eye for movements that may swap to my country and as a grindstone to evolve my own opinion.

What would it take for me to quit activism? The moment I don't have to worry about access to Healthcare beeing taken away and trans people become normalcy is the moment I'll stop. Given the recent bills in Alabama and Arkansas we're still far away from that. And some days I don't think it's achievable, but I won't stop fighting for it.

I'm nut sure if 15 years ago was better or not. I'm not old enough to really tell. But I think that more attention is a necessary way to normalcy. I also like to think that more attention gives others with a similar story to mine the courage to come out earlier. But I personally would greatly prefer invisibility.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I Don’t feel like we have an option. Our rights are actively under attack everywhere. And people like myself don’t have a choice but to be visible. Someone has to push against the attacks against us and we need protections and infrastructure that won’t happen on their own.

As to an end point. I don’t think there is one. Even if we got everything we need it doesn’t stop, it just shifts to defense.

[–]HouseplantWomen who disagree with QT are a different sex 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (25 children)

Gc tend to provide explanations of why the person is being misogynistic. You’ve never indicated why it’s bigoted other than “TWAW, it just is”.

Why is it bigotry to disagree with TWAW? Why is it bigotry to say females have rights that males cannot impede regardless of gender identity? What human rights are being denied to transgender people? Is recognition of gender identity a human right?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 4 fun1 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 4 fun -  (24 children)

So if I can provide justifications I can call someone a bigot, or do they also need to be justifications that you agree with? Also the rules don’t mention any of this “provide justifications” business but rather seem to flat out disallow accusations of bigotry all together. Might want to change the rules to be more clear if that isn’t the case.

Take it up with the mods if you feel you need to be able to say people are bigoted here.

I don’t have to agree with it, it just needs to exist and be rational.

What is unreasonable about gc concerns when there is proof of harm from letting in males? (As the majority of humanity understand the term, not a small faction of white americanised western people)

What is unreasonable about our desire to preserve language that describes only adult human females?

What is unreasonable about not caring that people have gender identities?

[–]loveSloaneDebate King 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I think any justifications you provide would need to be based on more than tra consensus and your personal beliefs.

But yeah, personally, for me specifically, if you could prove that I’m a bigot I’d accept you calling me one. So not necessarily things I agree with, but specifically things rooted in fact, as opposed to “you’re transphobic because tras agree you are” and also not “you’re transphobic simply for not believing in my ideology”

The sub has the rule Houseplant posted as well as a “no misogyny” rule. There’s no “you can’t call out misogynistic comments” rule

Not considering trans people as the gender they are, not allowing trans children to transition, not allowing trans people into sports or prisons or locker rooms or shelters, making fun of trans people, etc
