A trans person could transition and then have a series of horrific life events unrelated to being trans (death in the family, medical issue, loss of job, etc.) and transphobes are like “they’re sad because they transitioned!!” Like no?? They’re sad because they got laid off, they have cancer, and their mom died?? Seems reasonable to be sad! Not about Elliot specifically- idk much about Elliot tbh

[@cryochick9044]

The reason why these things are more common in trans folk is the same reason left handed folk a hundred years ago has higher suicide rates than right handed folk as well.

[@DrTssha]

I'll be honest, seeing Elliot on talk shows, he seems a lot happier. Personally, I'd rather have him happy than attractive (to me, as I'm attracted to women and femmes). That's what's actually important! But apparently transphobes beg to differ...

I think what pisses me off most about the anti-trans sentiment running through the LGBTQIA+ community is I remember being hated by the L & G portions of the community for being bi before I even knew I was trans but now they wanna buddy up to the bi folks to try and run off the rest of the community. These people are why I've never felt welcome in the community.

[@Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice]

fr fr. before i knew i was trans and ace it was all "a women should be able to do whatever she wants with her body" but when I hear people talking about ace people it's like we're here to murder children and cancel pride. but then ALSO people use ace people as a weapon against kinky people, which I also am. it's all a bunch of bull. I call it "using xyz as a meat shield" the way terfs are using lesbians as a meat shield. It sucks to be the victim AND it sucks to be the meat shield.

Shes spending her time arguing with other idiots, rather than responding to the intelligent participants in the debate?? That says a lot. Can she even begin to engage with the serious points made by Dr. Ann Loutfi? Instead of scouring the internet for trash right now, doing the youth yet another disservice. Memes do not represent the reality, its comedy, or its trash, with a million interpretations: maybe the point being made was that the youth used to have it hard and now have it so easy they lose their grip on reality. Or think they can gaslight other grownups into denying facts. Lots of females become unsafe if men can legally enter their private spaces (changing rooms, shelters, prisons, sports) because some males will lie, exploit the gaslighting happening, and rape them. Its not about memes and its narcy to belittle and make comedy of the repression of women's right to female only spaces. Jamie. Does. Not. Care. About. Others. The videos are completely self serving. When I raise an issue on her video she says she will block me, yet actively seeks out dumb arguments to seem superior. Its the behaviour of a narc. Someone with issues. Its a problem to young people watching. And no one with any level of self awareness cares about being called a transphobe -- its a smear put upon anyone that seeks to set boundaries between males and females in the interest of safety. Its a manifestation of bullying, censorship and pressure to submit to narcissistic grandiosity. Its the grown up version of calling me a chicken on the playground because i wont play your ugly game

[@URFTBOUND4LIFE]

That's because they're telling on themselves. Transphobia is deeply rooted in misogyny. They claim it's to "protect women" but when a woman says it doesn't bother them they're like "shhhh! It's ok. You don't know any better. Let us MEN do the talking"...

That whole attitude makes me feel like when im talking to someone whos a little less than supportive i have to pretend im doing okay even when im not. i shouldnt have to be happy all the time to validate my existence. I struggle. Lifes hard. I cry. A lot. But i cry because things actually matter to me now. I finally have things to love and things to lose. I have hopes and fears. And relationships with people i care deeply for and that i worry about every day because i love them. I didnt transition to be happy. I didnt transition to make my life easier. I transitioned to give me a life that feels worth living.

[@Lisa_Flowers]

@@ErisApplebottom This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. Thank you for articulating this. I honestly kind of get it but from the other side where I cannot socially transition (or consider medically transitiioning) because of an unsupportive environment and country, and I spend most of the time so dissociated from myself and everything else I either feel utter despair or nothing at all. I wish more people understood that trans people are allowed to have all the full complex emotions and experiences cis people do, with highs and lows, and that accessing whatever gender affirming care they need often enables them to do this. It doesn't turn them into Pollyana's who are happy all the time. NO ONE is happy all the time.

[@ErisApplebottom]

@@Lisa_Flowers im sorry you find yourself in that situation. Thats really hard to go through. And that numbness of dissociating and cutting yourself off from those feelings, sometimes we need that. To put on a straight face (pardon the pun) and survive. To get through where we are. But its no way to live. I know i tried to live like that too long and turned to drugs to help me feel ok and hide from my feelings and thoughts. And you learn that you cant cut off the pain and sadness and despair without cutting off the joy and love and passion. Theyre two sides of the same coin and we cant open our hearts to one without letting the other in. ❤️ I hope you can find a way out and find some support. There are countless people out here that would love you and support you and want you to be the best you you can be. I dont know your situation or what country your in.

I didn't have to ask any of them to do that, none of my older folk ever pulled their age as an excuse to misgender me. Being old doesn't mean you don't have to learn anything new. Older people who are held up as wise ever since the dawn of humanity are those who were always open to learn and share, being older in itself doesn't magically grant you the "good old timey truth" this grandma meme seems to imply if your mind was always closed and up your ass. I can sleep easy knowing my great grandpa who fought nazis and beat up cops would be proud of me finding myself and refusing to let others tell me otherwise, even if he never got to learn there are more than two genders.

[@vixxcelacea2778]

I mean that's the whole thing that so many don't get. If we could have a means of changing gender via say brain surgery and assume said surgery was entirely safe, no risk of complication or problem in the hypothetical, then why not? If someone agrees to that method if it were available instead, does it really matter? The point is for people to feel happy, comfortable and confident in their own skin. The means to get there is something I don't care about. I just want people to have a good quality of life coupled with as much longevity as can be mustered. That's what matters. The method, the labels, whatever. The best path to me is the one that maximizes longevity and quality. Transition surgery and hormones from all the data we have when someone is trans and wants to go through with the procedure does exactly that. The how any of this happens or whatever is irrelevant. We all need to use tools available to us to find our maximized longevity and quality. The tools themselves shouldn't matter. So long as you aren't causing suffering to others, I don't care about anything you do as a person. Denying tools that are effective for life quality is causing suffering. Not getting properly evaluated to consent to those tools is causing suffering. The entire anti-LGBT idea is causing suffering and therefore is problematic. Someone dating a consenting adult, someone changing their body to feel more in line with how they see themselves no matter the reason why isn't hurting anyone. The only time I'd take issue with any kind of life quality maximizing procedure is when there is a clear deferential to longevity as a consequence (like say getting 40 cosmetic surgeries in the span of 4 years might be a serious risk level to health and the person should wait in between. Also of course a mental evaluation that 40 is what they genuinely want and it's not trying to use something as a coping for something else, which should never be assumed, but considered because mental health is important). I dunno, I think people don't really think, they just react. I'm perfectly happy to call anyone any name they give me (and pronounce it as best I can) use any pronouns (though my own conditioning to assume male/female based on body expression is definitely ingrained and very hard to not do on reflex and I hate that I could accidentally hurt someone with it because it's just automatic. I'd rather call someone by whatever name they ask me to, but I will do my best with pronouns. It just sucks when I make the mistake because I'm calling it based on the body I see which I know is very invalidating for both trans persons who don't have those markers yet or people who are non-binary.), not judge what they identify as or their gender or if none of the above really fit and no label really suits how they feel. If someone legitimately identified as per the meme of attack helicopter, ya know what, I am happy for them. I am happy to call them heli or something if they want me to. And I know it's used to mock the idea, but that's why I'm using it to explain. Because it doesn't hurt anyone to do so and I care more about peoples well being mentally and physically than I do about my own subjective standards for what I consider normal or whatever. My feelings on it do not matter. The person who is unhappy does. So long as their happiness doesn't cause suffering, we can all deal with being disgruntled by having reality be something we didn't know was going on, like how gender and sexuality are not solid in the way we thought. Even in history this is shown to be true, yet we just regurgitate what we're told to believe and therefore our standards follow. Very long comment I know. I just wanted to express how I feel about it. Because ultimately I just want people to be happy in their own skin/body/mind and whatever it takes to do that is what should be done for everyone.

Technically though, terfs are trying to control others, which could come under the definition "thou shalt have no other gods before me" transphobic and homophobic people are trying to act like they know better then God, by acting as such. Also "These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage." -Jude 1:16 Very much rings a bell with transphobes and homophobes, they protect and defend people like Russel Brand and Trump, yet when an lgbt person does it, they don't react the same (Ezra Miller for example).

As a side note on the topic of trans teens in Ancient Rome, more people need to hear about Egalibus, the Trans Teenage Emperor of Rome. Egalibus was amab and took the throne at only 12 years old. In spite of the protests of her advisors and others, Egalibus preferred to dress in women's clothing and be addressed using feminine terms. Like Hatshepsut before her, after Egalibus's death, most records of her life and reign were destroyed, but just enough survived for us to learn at least a little bit about her. And before anyone says it, I know it's difficult verging on impossible to apply modern terms about gender and sexuality to historical people, but based on the few records we have of Egalibus, it certainly seems like transgender would at least be the closest modern equivalent.

Hey, I know this story gets passed around a lot. But it's worth remembering that the one source we have on Elagabalus that mentions this is incredibly hostile to him (I'm using him because, as far as we can tell, that's the way he presented himself in most contexts.) You have to remember that Elagabalus massively pissed off the senatorial class. He was from the middle east and hugely upset the traditional roman religious landscape by trying to import the cult of Elagabalus, the god after which he was named and of which he was the hereditary priest, into Rome. (I'm talking "this is the new supreme god and all the other gods are lesser or married to this god and we should move all the holy objects of the other gods to his temple".) The sources also do describe him as having sex with men where he was the bottom partner, which would also have been seen as very unmanly, although of course this might also be a malicious rumour. Portraying Elagabalus as "so depraved that he wanted to become a woman and started dressing as one!" fit in with a lot of stereotypes his opponents could use: the effeminate oriental, from a culture with temple prostitutes and priests who castrated themselves for their strange gods, who was so far removed from manly decency he'd even let other men have sex with him and sought to be their wife. The portrayal just fits in a little too well with the sort of slander that would be thrown his way by the traditional factions. I also think it's really important to note that elagabalus was a teenager. A teenager who was thrust into the highest political office in the world at the time (if child stars get fucked up, imagine what that'll do!) While some teens can figure out they're transgender (I did), for many this is a very confusing time if they have any sort of queer feelings. I don't think we can know how Elagabalus would have identified nowadays, since if the rumours are based on anything he could have been a trans woman, or genderflluid, or nonbinary, or gay and a crossdresser, or just a gay man (with the accusations being meant to show how unmanly he was.) And it just sits ill to project a fixed identity on him you know? I think it's safest to use male pronouns and his male name for him, since on inscriptions and coins and such he clearly kept up male presentation, and allow that there is a distinct possibility he was some form of queer, though it's impossible to know what he would have been. Applying the label transgender in any definite way just sits uneasy with me, you know?

[@kooskoos1234]

@@alicev5496imo applying the majority of the labels we use today on people in ancient times just doesn’t fit that well - not because there weren’t trans people or something, there most definitely were - but because the understanding of gender/sexuality and what not back then was probably different enough from today that our modern terms just can’t encapsulate it accurately, but also it is important to have historic figures that show queerness isn’t a new thing, so i think the best thing in this type of situation is to estimate them as adjacent to one of our terms - such as “most likely not cis,” without specificity, because we just don’t have enough information to be specific - so in this case, it would just make sense (to me at least) to refer to them using they/them

Actually the Greek gladiators were not slaves at least in the beginning. That was a Roman thing. The Romans then enslaved the Greeks and forced them to produce gladiators and physicians for those gladiators. In Greece the Gladiators were treated like athletes and were referred to as the Champions of the Gods. When they passed they would make shrines in their honour. It was a profession, a career that many men strived for in Greece. They were cared for extremely well in every way. However...when the Romans took over the sport, that's when things got really bad for them. They went from heroes and legends to slaves and fodder. Then it just became only a slave/blood sport. It did not start that way though. Sorry...I love history stuff. I'll shut up now.

Time for a story, I recently came out as transgender and I went to a camp where I explained that I am a transgender male, and not only did I pass it was my first experience with being discriminated against because of being transgender. It felt kinda like a twisted milestone, it definitely felt really weird too, as I had been in the closet for a long time. So here’s how this story goes: During my week long stem camp, we all went on a field trip to NASA (because the camp was on the Rice campus in Houston). Around halfway through the day a new person kind of inserted himself into our hang out time after I was separated from some of my group mates because I was too busy theorizing about colonizing mars and looking at moon rocks and soil. Anyway, the new person was a tall white guy, cisgender and straight, and when we all went to the Mars Mission area, I noticed that I was being less included than usual, every time I attempted to strike up a conversation with him he ignored me, even when my friends tried to have him talk to me, he would respond in 5 words or less. I figured that I had said something wrong or done something weird and didn’t realize it. That was until later in the evening when I was talking to those same friends, one of my friends talked about how creeped out she was because he wouldn’t leave her alone, and my other friend pointed at me and said “he asked about you,” I’m usually not talked about that much so I didn’t know exactly what to say, so I flinched and said “wait me? What did he ask” and she said he asked if I was a real man and she responded “I don’t know, nor do I care, that’s not my business and it’s none of your’s either,” I eventually figured out that he was hitting on the 3 of them, of which, 2 were lesbians and the other was Bisexual, and even the bi one was pretty unimpressed. He was also very racist, but that’s a topic for another day. The worst part was that my friend who he was hitting on the most was interested in his science fair project and he only talked about sports. I brought this whole thing up with my roommate and she was actually like ready to beat him up.

I'm a cis woman and an athlete and the discussion about trans women in sports by these bigots infuriates me. It's not based on science and it ignores many realities of sport. IMO any cis woman who complains about being beat by a trans woman is just being a poor sport. If someone beats you, the appropriate response is to congratulate them and go home and work harder so you can beat them next time. Also, there is a trans man in my triathlon club so that meme creator is just wrong.

[@aylinilya.]

if they truly cared about science, then they should start splitting up the men’s sports by height because wouldn’t you know, being taller gives you an advantage in hurdles. just like you said, if someone is taller than you and beat you, you work harder and train to do all you can with your shorter height, and in a lot of cases, stuff like height becomes irrelevant. trans women belong in women’s sports and trans men belong in men’s sports!

@@leunamreyo3663 yes but also no… you misunderstood what i’m saying, when someone is a trans women and plays tennis for example, this trans women hasn’t been on hrt and has only socially transitioned, yes, it is much more unfair for them to be in women’s sports because they still have majority of testosterone in their body. but let’s say it’s been a couple years and they’ve gone of hrt since then, around 3 years is when all the effects are in full swing, they now have the muscle mass similar to a cis woman now, at this point, the advantages are even smaller than height differences, there’s no reason why trans women and trans men who have been on hrt don’t belong in their identified gender’s sports

Can she even begin to engage with the serious points made by Dr. Ann Loutfi? Instead of scouring the internet for trash right now, doing the youth yet another disservice. Memes do not represent the reality, its comedy, or its trash, with a million interpretations: maybe the point being made was that the youth used to have it hard and now have it so easy they lose their grip on reality. Or think they can gaslight other grownups into denying facts. Lots of females become unsafe if men can legally enter their private spaces (changing rooms, shelters, prisons, sports) because some males will lie, exploit the gaslighting happening, and rape them. Its not about memes and its narcy to belittle and make comedy of the repression of women's right to female only spaces. Jamie. Does. Not. Care. About. Others. The videos are completely self serving. When I raise an issue on her video she says she will block me, yet actively seeks out dumb arguments to seem superior. Its the behaviour of a narc. Someone with issues. Its a problem to young people watching. And no one with any level of self awareness cares about being called a transphobe -- its a smear put upon anyone that seeks to set boundaries between males and females in the interest of safety. Its a manifestation of bullying, censorship and pressure to submit to narcissistic grandiosity. Its the grown up version of calling me a chicken on the playground because i wont play your ugly game.

Hmm, 60 BC, huh? Note that for the purposes of this, I am using "third gender" to refer to either intersex, transgender, or both. The Ancient Hebrew word "טומטום" or "hidden" is used in Jewish Rabbinic literature to refer to third gender type people. The Ancient Romans referred to third gender as "gallus" with "galli" being the plural. The Ancient Greeks argued a lot about how many genders there are. The number varied between 3 to 7 depending on if you count “fluid” and “uncertain” and as distinct categories, which the Ancient Greeks did. Only 2 genders was never an option for the Ancient Greeks. Aristotle was firmly in the "there are only 3 genders" camp: masculine, feminine, and “in between” (μεταξύ). Then of course there's their deity Hermaphrodite which was seen as both and neither and inbetween all at the same time. People absolutely had the language back then. It was squashed by the spread of Christofascism which is absolutely not a new phenomenon.

It was created at the Third Intertribal First Nations, Native American Gay & Lesbian Conference (yeah, clunky-af name. LOL) to replace the problematic word "berdache", which was a French word that essentially meant catamite (a "bum-boy") because not all people who are outside the binary are gay men. Our Tribes have recognized genders beyond the binary for hundreds, if not thousands or years. My own Tribe, the Eastern Cree (we call ourselves Inowak. Cree was an outsider's name for us) recognized four genders at base: masculine male, feminine male, masculine female & feminine female.
