last week's deluge of Democrats embracing anti-trans positions

Promotion image for my new essay. The text includes the title: "On Democrats Who Cave in Response to Anti-Trans Attack Ads (and more importantly: a response to all the cis people responding to the way that trans people are responding to said Democrats’ responses)" & my Substack website: juliaserano.substack.com. Background image is a young child, wearing a backwards baseball cap, grasps onto a chain-link fence, staring out onto what is on the other side of the fence (which is out of focus).

This is a cross-post from my Patreon. If you want to receive updates like this whenever I release a new essay, video, book, music, etc., you can follow me there for free (and please consider supporting my work for as little as $1/month!).

Quotes by Julia Serano (?)

“It is offensive that so many people feel that it is okay to publicly refer to transsexuals as being “pre-op” or “post-op” when it would so clearly be degrading and demeaning to regularly describe all boys and men as being either “circumcised” or “uncircumcised.”
― Julia Serano, Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity

tags: genitalia, respect, transgender, transsexual

“When the majority of jokes made at the expense of trans people center on "men wearing dresses" or "men who want their penises cut off" that is not transphobia - it is trans-misogyny. When the majority of violence and sexual assaults omitted against trans people is directed at trans women, that is not transphobia - it is trans-misogyny.”

“The hardest part has been learning how to take myself seriously when the entire world is constantly telling me that femininity is always inferior to masculinity”
