Stock is lovely. Her articles have helped me understand the issues. I'm glad of her writings.

Stock also actually seems to care about everyone. TRAs vilify the wrong women

I know. I really appreciated her efforts to talk about how to keep trans and gender non conforming people safe. But a bunch of extremists have decided that the danger and difficulty of being trans is located in 'obstacles to self expression' and people being unsupportive or critical about one's identity, not in, you know, actual violence, discrimination and harassment in real life by actual bigots. You know, there's a really similar parallel with the 'sex work is work' people, namely, the idea that the danger and difficulty in prostitution comes from 'stigma' (by feminists, again) or criminalisation, not from, you know, exploitative and violent men. Violent men kinda get disappeared or treated like a force of nature that we exacerbate with our analyses and critiques. So odd.

Violent men are not even blamed for murdering trans people. TERFS are. TERFs who don’t validate them are “literally killing them”

(When most trans people who get murdered are IN PROSTITUTION and are killed by MEN, the two things they forget cause harm to them because that means getting in the way of their orgasms, because you can’t be trans without supporting gender roles and male violence)
