"While I can understand why some individuals might feel uneasy about trans people (as we challenge taken-for-granted assumptions and social norms), I’ve had a difficult time wrapping my brain around how anyone could become so obsessed and irrationally paranoid about our existence."
This is where I get stuck as well. WHY would anyone care how someone they don't know defines their own gender? If there is a deviant in this scenario, it's def not the trans person.

Since the science is not on their side, opponents of gender-affirming care have increasingly taken to manufacturing controversy: Every month or so, there’s some new finding or study or revelation that they hold up as a “smoking gun” or “game changer.”

Another excellent essay from @juliaserano on the Cass Review and its place in the ongoing moral panic over trans health care.

"Trans people are a pancultural and transhistorical phenomenon, indicating that we arise as a part of natural variation rather than being mere products of any specific culture. Or to put it differently, we are the inevitable outliers that exist in every complex biological system."

Very cool: A while back I threw some money into a fund for a Japanese translation of @juliaserano's Whipping Girl. It was successfully translated and I got these nifty stickers in the mail to commemorate!
