They have stories to tell but are being censored? How are they being censored? Off the top of my head: the Guardian has a long standing column which featured a guy transitioning, and the Telegraph has the trans diaries of the lovely men’s rights activist, David. The New York Times has featured countless trans stories including a video and article of that creepy dude who faked a pregnancy and was jealous of his wife. Vice had Paris Lee as a longstanding columnist and Vox hired Katelyn Burns whose work appears to be everywhere including the v and a museum in London. I’ve read countless interviews by Munro Burgdof, kaitlin Jenner (who got a vanity fair cover), laverne cox (who was on the cover of time as the trans tipping point) and Juno Dawson (who was in the gay times saying gay men really wanted to be fucked as women). I’ve read gushing long form articles about Andrea chu who says everyone is female and the essence of being female is dead eyes and a gaping asshole. They entirely dominate swathes of academia - I never hear the end of trans voices in philosophy like Rachel McKinnon (in fact they appear to want it to be the case that only trans people can talk about trans issues philosophically). One of the most richest you tubers, contra points, has had countless gushing interviews with the New York Times despite the fact he calls women “mackerel” and is a clear misogynist. In the U.K. India willoughby used to be a nobody local tv news presenter and when he transitioned was catapulted into reality tv shows and high profile breakfast tv.

Trans people often make headlines and have documentaries - the guardian followed a trans man who gave birth, Freddy McConnell, and she got a shiny documentary. Channel four recently followed a trans couple whose wedding was on the front cover of the sun and daily mail and who appeared on major morning tv shows. Channel four also had a reality show called “my trans summer” featuring an entirely trans cast. Trans kids is an entire thing of it’s own and is covered from every conceivable angle- there’s “I am jazz” which shows in excruciating detail the realities of being a trans child - we even get to see the poor kid in pain after surgeries. Mermaid and susie green have documentaries and opinion pieces. Mermaids helped write a bbc drama about a child transitioner. So again I ask - what censorship? Since about 2010 the trans shit has been constantly written about from every conceivable angle.

As for the idea that trans people have “stories” to tell... mate, I’ve heard them all. They are all mostly the same. Trans kids stories are so homogenous I’m sure you could programme an ai to generate them. The kid likes Barbies and glitter. Their mother always catches them just in time before they chop their dick off. They are strangely precocious and wise - “I was a girl in a previous life” or “I know I’m a girl inside”. The parents never get it or can’t explain it but they just trust their child. The parents are evangelical and smacked the kid when he reached for something pink. They are so boring and predictable. The stories are all the same.

As for the adults? Well, one thing I’ve learned is the stories will usually always contain a horrifying admission or detail that should be a massive red flag to anyone paying attention. They will admit to being aroused in female bathrooms, they will claim to be jealous of women, they will make the most outrageously sexist claims (hormones has made me stupid and cry all the time , tee hee I’m such a girl! I love being cat called on the street!) in fact my advice to trans people would be to lay low for a bit and stop talking so much because the more they talk the more the autogyniphillia or the raging sexism reveals itself, and it’s not pretty. Censorship? They never shut up!
