Superb. You nailed it with eloquence.

The other newsworthy transvestigation of the week backs up your theory too. The “Andrew Tate is ftm” post exposes the paranoia on the other end.

I heard that people have also been ‘cisvestigating’ Dylan Mulvaney, I guess because it’s only possible to be attractive if you’re cis? It’s an ouroboros of misogyny and transphobia.

Misogyny transphobia ouroboros lol.

Doesn’t this end show the absurdity of it all? Dylan ftmtf Mulvaney.

I’m so glad I read Gillian’s piece but what I really want is some biting satire

One of the lasting effects of the "Calling out Imane" was what was published. For example, the Boston Globe ran an AP reporters story and labeled Imane, in the headline as 'Transgender'. Later, the Globe printed a retraction, correction, and apology. But, by then the damage had been done. All while the trolls were eating up and regurgitating the lies & misinformation. Even after the retraction and apology. The trolls refused to accept the truth about Imane. The hater's then adjusted their attack to say Imane had a genetic advantage. So, I counter with this: Michael Phelps had two genetic advantages that made him a better swimmer. Phelps had nearly twice the long capacity as a normal human. But, his body produces less lactic acid. Which means that his muscles don't tire out as quickly.

And, why is it that the hater's can only hold the negative news over the transgender communities heads? They ignore over 100 years of proof that gender affirming healthcare works. But, hold the Cass Review, the WPATH Files, the Dutch Study and other reports as false evidence. The transgender community was never politicized before 2020. Now, we've become a vocal point in elections.

Gold.

I read a take yesterday saying Rowling should present her own proof of having the chromosomes she claims to have before we engage her in any further conversation. I think it seems apt. Are we questioning everyone's gender? Let's start with the transvestigators. Seems to me they doth protest too much.

This is an excellent post. But is there a reason why you’ve spelt her name ‘Khleif’ when everyone else spells it ‘Khelif’?

Grammarly corrected it that way for some reason; updated
