As someone who has lost #trans :heart_trans: loved ones because of #transphobia, I'm fed up with this very small percentage within an already small group of detransitioners who actively campaign to derail the transitions of others.
Something i'm pondering today: are there any popular or mainstream-ish TV shows or hollywood movies depicting a t4t couple? Are there any that even show a queer romance between a trans person and a cis person? Are there any that show trans women as capable of being dated and loved in long-term relationships as themselves?
I'll admit, I am unaware of a single t4t couple in mainstream entertainment media (maybe there's like a single episode sidestory somewhere?). That might have more to do with me not watching that many new shows and movies though, not sure.
In terms of trans characters being dated and loved as themselves, i think all of those are in queer-centered media like the L Word, Pose, and Transparent, i'm guessing? (Also haven't watched those shows because i'm a bad queer 😅) but a mainstream show? Definitely can't name one, especially where a transfem or trans woman is seen as having a long-term relationship as herself.
@JoscelynTransient More t4c relationships: Glamorous, The Umbrella Academy, Princess Jellyfish (yes I'm claiming this one for the dolls), and Coronation Street (1998-2014 - Hayley Cropper, played by a cis woman unfortunately - but you can't get much more mainstream than one of the most watched TV shows in the country).
#IDAHOBLIT is a great day to remind you about TransActual's crowdsourced definition of transphobia. It was designed to explain some of the subtler more nuanced forms of transphobia. Find it at https://transactual.org.uk/transphobia

TRANSFEM BRAIN TRUST: What boob prosthetics would you suggest for transfem who has very little growth or development?
Please reply with suggested products! The girl I'm asking for is willing to spend a medium amount $80 - $100 if it is really worth it and can be worn with a more revealing tank top or other tops. She said she wants to find a full chestplate or full chest prosthetic. If there's something that's more affordable, that would be great too!
Oh look. #Section28 has just returned via the backdoor, which is how a lot of unpleasantness takes root in the #UK these days.
"...Government sources told BBC News about plans to ban sex education for under-nines in [#England], as well as teaching about gender identity, on Wednesday.
