Jamie Shupe ~ have you read this?

[CallMeCleo]

I've only seen this today, and wondered if it was also new to the users of the FWR board.

On wiki the talk page is excellent.

He's one of the many sex/gender people Benjamin Boyce has interviewed, one of the earliest, apparently, given how defensive Benjamin is introducing it.

Wow thanks for posting.

That is a really damning account.

The trouble with this is, the trans juggernaut in the US seems unstoppable and by the time they realise how complex and how difficult this is going to be and the impact, they will be out of sink with the rest of the world and the world will think the US is just plain mad.

It's extremely lucrative for s range of industries.

And that's that.

I have posted the link in the OP multiple times, usually in relation to the Guardian, after they held up Shupe to be a pioneering non-binary person in this article 4 years ago:

www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/16/i-am-first-official-genderless-person-united-states

Of course, they’ve conveniently never followed up and written about Shupe now .

Ha, and there's me thinking I'd stumbled over something new to y'all.

Still, one person on this thread hadn't seen it, so it was worthwhile!

{I've NC by the way}

So many people have been getting on board over the last couple of years, that something more than 2 years old can easily be new to lots of people. It's worth reposting!

The equivalent of 20 birth control pills a day?!

How is that not poisoning someone?

I hadn't seen it before, so thanks.

Mind you, I've only recently realised that I can have FWR as a favourite topic, rather than waiting for interesting threads to appear in 'Active' 🙄
