When you see posts that contain TERF dog whistles, I am begging you to consider clicking on that OP link and glancing at their bio before you reblog because it’s not OVERTLY terfy. They very deliberately water down their points to appeal to a wider audience. This is not a conspiracy theory; it’s something they discuss at length amongst themselves.
And if I have to keep telling you that OP is a terf, and you go “well shit” and delete the post, but you find that you just keep reblogging terf shit, take a hard look at the people you’re following who are reblogging terf shit into your feed.
I don’t have any patients who’ve tried to kill themselves because their TERF views were socially unacceptable. I have a lot of patients who’ve tried to kill themselves because of the transphobia they deal with. Decide how much you value human life.
There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function
the idea that testosterone is a dangerous hormone that inherently makes someone domineering and difficult to be around is transphobic all round, leaning on bioessentialism.
for trans men and transmascs, we are warned against medical transition for fear that we may lose our agreeableness and perceived passivity. we are seen as potential aggressors after going on it.
trans woman and transfems have any testosterone in their system, whether on hrt or not, held over them like an original sin that can not be escaped that positions them as more aggressive and dangerous. it is seen as something that threatens their womanhood and can be brought up against them at any time to revoke it.
testosterone is not an evil hormone. it does not change your moral character. it does good for some and bad for others, like any other hormone.
