TW who supports the SC ruling - AMA

Hello! I was thinking of doing this post for a little while now as the previous posts doing this by the rather wonderful trans men here were really interesting but I didnt want to take up too much space here or take any attention away from much more important things here than what I have to say.

But I figured to just go for it before I have a big old break from the Internet for a while.

So like the title says, I'm a transwoman who accepts the SC ruling: ask me anything if you'd like to and I'll do my best to answer.

I do not want to be hostile, so i am going to believe your post is genuine for now.

My question therefore is, have you considered that you might have a psychiatric disorder and that you might benefit from in depth therapy to establish why you disassociate with your own body? And that is why you recognise the SC ruling

Hello and thanks for posting.

Why do you feel motivated to present as the opposite sex?

That's a shame, it seems hard to try and have nuanced conversations. I guess reading all these different threads you'll notice how often women get shouted down. I think so many are just tired of it now. I had quite a fraught conversation with one of my female friends tonight who is "bekind" and tried to argue with me that sex is a spectrum. Most vulnerable etc etc. Does that not annoy you? Being made out to be in need of being mollycoddled and special all the time? It doesn't really fit the picture as so many trans women in particular are very aggressive. So not really vulnerable. Although I hear that phrase uttered more by females. Which I guess must be our social conditioning to always be kind. Especially to male people. Do you notice that?

Thank you for coming on here. It would be interesting to know firstly, why you support the ruling and secondly, what impact you think it will have on your life

@INeedAPensieve So I tried interacting in some online trans spaces shortly after I started interacting here (a couple days after the ruling) and I was blocked instantly from them for basically telling other trans people to 'calm down and think about it' after getting some abuse but that isn't anything new for me if I actually try to interact with the 'trans community', I've normally been treated badly in the past by the community for kind of being 'in the middle' anyway on trans issues and been called a 'pick me' and all that stuff.

In person, I've been really selective with who I've talked to about it. A younger TM I work with who doesn't agree with the ruling but he does see my point that TRAs created the mess, but I don't have many trans friends anyway not locally at least.

I'm wondering, how much push back do you get from others when you say this? It's just so much vitriol generally from a lot of other TW that I wonder how you fare?

Thanks!

Nah, I'm good. You might be better off doing this on Bloosky or Reddit.
