No, it’s not an important distinction. If you remove the ability of trans people to transition to their identified gender then you’re relegating many of them to suicide.

Michael Knowles called for the “eradication” of transgenderism at CPAC this year. Please shut up (E: corrected the wording he used, because he said “eradication” not just that it shouldn’t exist)
Nonetheless, here’s a viewpoint I have that I know is not accepted, but I’ll share it anyway. I believe the compulsion of speech, particularly insisting that all of society adapt their language to accommodate individual identities, is a terrible approach. The notion of forced speech is problematic to me, and worries me greatly.
Is this the fucking Jordan Peterson position? Whose speech has been compelled? A man walked into a Philosophy of Gender class this week in Canada and stabbed three people, so sorry if I’m a lot more concerned with the constant hate speech being levied against LGBTQ+ people than I am with the anomalous concept of “compelled speech” which has not as of yet been an issue and only exists in the fever dream of transphobes who want to actively misgender people while working in public positions in Canada.
What’s the moderate position between “trans people should not be allowed to exist in society” and “trans rights are human rights”? You have to understand every time you or anyone else says some shit like this you’re basically crying that people are taking a position instead of just watching the right wing try to ruin peoples lives.
The supreme court literally ruled to allow businesses to discriminate against people based on sexuality yesterday.
Ding ding ding. What we’re seeing is a bunch of other tech bro dickheads following Elon’s lead because despite everyone hating everything he did, Twitter hasn’t fully failed yet. They’re all seeing dollar signs and could not give a single fuck about their users or the experience they have on their platform as long as they can make a few more bucks.
I’m about to go on vacation until the end of the month, but I’m probably just gonna try to step away from social media in general and just read books more instead. These ghouls are just taking a note from Twitter not completely tanking after Elon did evil anti-competitive shit and figuring they can do the same, so the only way to show them otherwise is to withdraw any support or attention you give them.
Cool, so now the alt-right nutbags who control r/canada can take over all the other Canadian subreddits and promote far right propaganda and hatred in all the local subs too?
I don’t even use third party apps, but it’s fundamentally bad for the internet for big websites to do shit like this to try to lock off their APIs to only paid users even though it’s a free website populated entirely by user generated content.
