Oh yeah, I don't disagree that people were thinner in general. But Cosmo models were extremely skinny and the goal was to be as thin as possible. Living on a lettuce leaf, black coffee and cigarettes was lauded.

It always makes me laugh when magazines and newspapers shriek about heroin chic or the waif look because frankly the models are no thinner than they were in 1975.

Yeah, I think the earlier 70s were quite unique because women were for the first time taking charge of their sexuality and for a while "acting like men" with hookups and office jobs, plus all the coke. It's interesting to me that the look for woman at that time was at once hyperfeminine - a ton of hair, nails, glossy lips and lashes - and also kind of anti-sexual with the very thin body type that was exhalted.

I was both scared by and drawn by Cosmo because the issues I saw were all 70s ones and it was all about having loads of casual sex and getting men to think you were good in bed, OR being alert to men who might be into sex when you weren't (apparently hair along the little finger is a SUREFIRE SIGN for "watch him - he's keen on sex", and wearing very long fingernails and low-cut wrap dresses that showed your very bony clavicle which looked nothing like my body. There wasn't any romance in Cosmo! But it was about SEX which was of course fascinating.

That also really throws a spanner in the works when it comes to the idea that blockers are needed so a person will pass better. If a male bodied person grows to extremely tall, that's not going to help random people on the street look at them and think "everyday woman". So they will NOT blend in. And if their penis doesn't grow properly then they're going to need the most dangerous and complication-ridden kind of SRS if they have it. Which begs the question - why do this dangerous thing when it won't have any positive effect other than slightly less of an adam's apple and beard?

And for girls, of course, being very short isn't going to help either.

Indeed. BUT I suspect people are trying to say that denying a kid hormone blockers is like trying to force a gay kid to be straight. It's not. A young person can explore their sexuality with kids their own age without lasting physical damage, regardless of which sex they end up preferring. Many gay people started with straight relationships and plenty of straight people explored same-sex relationships. Your preference can change, or not, and that's OK. No harm done. Hormone blockers and surgeries? Not so much.

The Blue Lagoon is basically just terribly, terribly cheesy with dreadful dialogue delivered by two very pretty young people. Their "childlike" discussions about puberty are cringemaking. But it's not that "adult" really. Brooke Shields' hair is artfully draped over her boobs the whole time and she had body doubles for any actually nude scenes (eg when swimming).

Blue Lagoon is a movie in which Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins, who were both young (but he wasn't AS young), play shipwrecked kids who grow up on an idyllic island, discover sex, have a baby and eventually take a boat out to sea and eat poisoned berries to suicide. It's based on an Edwardian (I think) novel and it's both uncomfortable and hilariously bad.

I think OP means Endless Love, in which Brooke Shields plays a teenager who has sex for the first time while her super liberal mother watches joyfully (but unseen); later the boyfriend gets obsessed with her and it all goes horribly wrong.

There was a DEEP fascination with underage sexuality in the 70s, for certain.

Oh and Pretty Baby is DEEPLY disturbing. It's not an "awareness" film as I remember it - it's about a photographer who becomes fascinated by the women who work in a brothel at the turn of the last century, including the child daughter of one of the working girls whose virginity is sold to the highest bidder.

If they never had the education or opportunity to look in a book, as many working class people in disadvantaged societies do, they could hardly be blamed for lacking curiosity about something that had no impact on their lives.

This is the same kind of thinking that 50s white researchers used to claim black people didn't value education - because they only got points for wanting their kids to go to grad school, when people from disadvantaged communities who've never been to college don't even know that there is such a thing as grad school. Did they want their kids to go to college? Hell yes they did. But the research was weighted towards people of privilege from the start.

Worse, they may find themselves having to take shelter with seriously bad people - because survival is a human instinct - who may make them FAR worse than they were when you shunned them and b) will undoubtedly help them lead an attack against you in the future.

What is really needed is long-term followup of a very large group of trans-identified people, throughout their lives, and including detransitioners. Right now we can't know how many trans-identified people do detransition, and we also can't know whether those detransitioners remain happy with their birth sex-aligned gender (and we won't be able to know that for a long time). Only a full life cycle a bit like the "seven-up" research is going to produce really useful data.

I fear so. They need to embrace the fact that not everyone with gender or bodily discomfort is trans. It's far healthier for all! If a person genuinely feels better via transitioning then let them be - but stop encouraging everyone to do it.

I saw an article the other day challenging the idea of "regretters" which rather hilariously gave, as one reason for detransitioning, a change in gender identity. Maybe 'regret' is the wrong term.

Tbh I would have adored the first book as a teen, I know it. The sequels probably not so much. It has the same mopey gothic vibe of a lot of romantic fiction that was around in the 70s.

What did they ban r/detrans? But that was such a good place for questioning young people to work out what they wanted! It wasn't GC really and did not oppose transition!!

It's pretty transphobic to say a self-described trans person isn't really trans just because they don't fit the victim mould.

If we must believe transwomen, then yes we must accept Jessica Yaniv and Karen White.

Or if these people don't count then resume gatekeeping, because women and girls are victims of these people abusing.self-ID.

You can't have both unless you're willing to throw females under the bus.

Surely anyone aware of Jazz Jennings can see that kid is being exploited regardless of their stance on child transition? If there's something any teen does NOT need it's a reality show in which people focus on their genitals and sexual function for all the world to see. That show has surely backfired and Jazz is the collateral damage.

Yeah, the only way to do it respectfully is to make the movie NOT about the transitioning process, which to my mind seems fine. You can have a trans actor playing a trans character who is wandering about the place living a life, not a trans character whose sole character trait is "Is Trans" and whose entire storyline is "Is Trans, Transitions". I've seen indie type shows where trans actors are cast as trans characters - usually not the main character - and it's just incidental that they are trans.

Same. It was considered horribly viciously transphobic because ... some women said transwomen were men, I think. That's about as bad as it got. No use of horrible slurs (I guess some of them don't like TIM and TIF though), no wishing harm on anyone....

The things that struck and saddened me about the Pique Project's videos were that the girls were all kinda-dorky lesbian teens who a) saw that transboys got lots of girl attention at school, which of course they wanted too, and b) that tranbsboys on YouTube seemed to have life all figured out with their transition plans, and they felt drawn to such a clear roadmap of how to navigate their tumultuous teenage lives.

The saddest part was the way two of them now laughingly talk about how they bonded as young "gay transmen" over the fact that they had both crushes on girls but that was just because of "compulsory heterosexuality".

On the terven side, I would be inclined to reshape some of the arguments so they highlight the focus on science.

For instance, rather than saying "intersex is an anomaly, they are stlll either male or female" I would try something like "intersex people are always either male or female, with developmental differences that can affect the way their body expresses its sex. They are not the same as trans people."

"Biological sex is is complicated but all humans, even those with variations, can be grouped into two groups, those whose bodies normally produce small gametes (sperm) and those whose bodies normally produce large gametes (eggs)".

Or whatever the proper science is.

Then you don't get the issues with "binary" being also tied to gender.

9f course it had been invented. I knew transsexuals in the 80s, people were writing about them in the 70s and gay people a shade older than Crisp called themselves inverts. There have always been some people who felt this way.

I gather thiugh that shortly before he died Quentin Crisp did say he was trans. Because people had explained it to him and it made sense.

The fundamental block is that accepting this requires you to view transwomen as men, and nobody "kind" wants to do that. It's the place where radfems and TRAs cannot find common ground.

But common ground is the only way forward. What to do??
