Think chess players are smart?

The world's top chess federation has separate competitions for men and women, and now won't let trans women play in the women's competitions.

Chess players must be stupid af.

Just a sudden thought: I wonder if trans wrestling fans still refer to their pre-discovery time as being a egg, considering how we all know the last thing to come out of an egg in wrestling was the Gobbly Gooker?

Our literature review did suggest that psychosis was more prevalent in the transgender community as compared to general population prevalence estimates and cisgender comparison samples. In our paper, we argued for a more critical examination of why rates of psychosis are elevated. Specifically, we highlighted the potential for diagnostic biases (ie., that transgender people are misdiagnosed with psychosis) and the fact that transgender people face high rates of known social and environmental contributors to psychotic disorders (e.g., bullying and discrimination). We suggest that these factors may increase transgender people's vulnerability to psychosis and other forms of psychological distress.

Rather than suggesting that "unaddressed psychiatric issues" (such as psychosis) could be "misdiagnos[ed as] gender dysphoria" and lead to "inappropriate" gender transition, our claims are that 1) psychological distress due to gender dysphoria and oppression- and marginalization- based risk factors increase the likelihood of serious mental health symptoms, like psychosis, among transgender people, and 2) historical diagnostic trends and biased conceptualizations of gender dysphoria suggest the possibility that some transgender individuals are misdiagnosed as being psychotic.

Montana bill would let students misgender classmates

Montana schools would not be able to punish students who purposely misgender or deadname their transgender peers under a Republican-backed legislative proposal that opponents argue will increase bullying of children who are already struggling for acceptance.

The proposal, co-sponsored by more than two dozen GOP lawmakers, would declare that it’s not discrimination to use a transgender classmate’s legal name or refer to them by their birth gender. Schools would be prevented from adopting policies to punish students who do so.

A separate package of reforms also approved by lawmakers on Thursday strengthened transgender rights, including allowing any citizen over 16 years old to change their legally registered gender without medical supervision.

Minors between 12-13 years old will need a judge’s authorization to change, while those between 14 and 16 must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians.

Previously, transgender people needed a diagnosis by several doctors of gender dysphoria. The second law also bans so-called “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ people and provides state support for lesbians and single women seeking IVF treatment.

Spain approves menstrual leave, teen abortion and trans laws

The Spanish parliament on Thursday approved legislation expanding abortion and transgender rights for teenagers, while making Spain the first country in Europe that will entitle workers to paid menstrual leave.

The driving force behind the two laws was Equality Minister Irene Montero, who belongs to the junior member in Spain’s left-wing coalition government, the “United We Can” Party.

The changes to sexual and reproductive rights mean that 16- and 17-year-olds in Spain can now undergo an abortion without parental consent. Period products will now be offered free in schools and prisons, while state-run health centers will do the same with hormonal contraceptives and the morning after pill. The menstrual leave measure allows workers suffering debilitating period pain to take paid time off.

Brianna Ghey is another victim of the institutionalised transphobia that joins the capitalist system. When transphobia is spread and platformed, it endangers many and causes damage. Under the cloak of "debates", transphobia is platformed and trans people are dehumanised. Many have blood on their hands.
RIP Brianna Ghey. May you now find the peace you seek.

2/ I remember arguments in the gay community about bisexuality. How bi-women would undermine lesbian safe spaces. How bi people were 'playing' both sides. 'Refusing to admit' they were actually gay.

And now, the same arguments are being re-hashed. Against Trans people.

Those arguments were wrong then.

And they are wrong now. That's all.

I think this is a really nice except from Regardies Complete Golden Dawn books.

God, Elohim, is the mother-father. Since man, humanity, is born in the image of god, this is why we have men, women, and everything in between.
