TRA nuts :handshake: TERFs

funny thing is they could just as easily 1. gatekeep and say "they're all stereotypical cishetsTM trying to 'bad-jacket' our good names" instead of 2. going to the mat and loudly insisting that every motherfucker and pederast who claims the name must be associated with the T (great tactical thinking there, kiddos, why not knock on your neighbors' doors to remind us it's CHRISTINE Chandler now?); I mean they're happy to denounce cringe shit like Velma and even spin tales of it being a right-wing stealthy parody of wokeness

They want self-ID, they can’t disavow some self-declared trans if their whole philosophy says that self-declared identity is absolutely sacrosanct - they can’t start gatekeeping it now.

yeah, the gasket was blown when they said "you don't have to have a need to become the opposite gender (so binaristic!) or surgery (medicalism!) or dress differently (straight-passing) or do literally anything other than change their name": and they always have nice-SOUNDING motte-and-bailey arguments ("older women have lip hair! having short hair doesn't make you less female!") and it all just melted together

I think it was because of Jenner (a Republican who said you had to have dysphoria and hormones didn't magically melt away your skeleton except in terms of osteoporosis)
