A lot of it stems from sexist views, and revolves around beauty standards. Bad faith arguments like "women's spaces"/sports, may seem reasonable upfront even.

The end result ends up with cis women also under threat due to a multitude of factors. Deep voice, gender nonconformity, hormonal disorders, intersex people, the list goes on.

Cis children are being harassed in Canada, cis women have been harassed in bathrooms. "Transvestigators" love to spend their time trying to clock people.

Absolutely, though there tends to be a lot more visibility, and potential for harm. Not to understate the harm done during the aids crisis. I could maybe be scared back into the closet ~~jk death before detransition~~, but transphobia harms cis women too. I shouldn't know several people who have had to flee their home states due to Republican led legislation, but I do. I shouldn't know people who lost access to their medication, some people who need it post GRS, but I do.

There's a LOT to be said about the subject. My existence shouldnt fall on party lines, but here we are.

Unfortunately trans people are in the early stages of being targeted with genocidal intent. Scary times for us.

I work and converse with people globally, as much as I love the idea of being able to use seasons as a marker of time like that, it's just not possible.

Now let's work on names for this 13th month.....

I may be biased buttttttt gonna have to agree

Seasons vary by hemisphere, and it's counterintuitive to force half of the globe to accept summer as winter or winter as summer.

The Lehigh Valley School district is rough around the edges. My cousin faced retaliation from the top because they outpaced the system there.

Alberta has entered the chat

With every hit I'm that much closer to leaving 😭

As an organization admin, it's great for business use. Don't force it onto users alongside other bloatware slop.

It's not even that people are unwilling, the problem is that personal sacrifices are a mere drop in the bucket compared to industry pollution.

The problem with industry pollution is that it happens in the shadows. Supporting greener products is fantastic, but so many are in dire situations where they are unable to spend the money to support the extra cost.

They actually have, be it the Inuit people, Native Americans, Greeks, Scandinavians, Romans, Indians, Japanese, Pacific Islanders, and likely many more. Phytoestrogens from soy and BPA plastics are not metabolized in a way that carries any feminizing effects, though can aggravate hormonal cancers. If you haven't watched Oki's series on the atrazine studies they're fantastic. He interviews the scientist behind a lot of the research and talks on how Alex Jone's undermined the research's public image.

That being said, while I appreciate the sentiment of "dress how ya want" and I truly believe you're genuine in saying that. Plenty of those who say that do not mean it though, and will be the first to throw stones. Which is why I ask you have just a little compassion on the matter. I know some people can be a lot. But most are just trying to get by, just like you and I.
