I support the message of both memes in this link. The way I balance those meme views can be seen throughout my blogs

I support gender acceleration so I am already an ally to non binary and gender non conforming people

I believe Gender voluntarism is true. I believe that a person can choose their gender. I believe that gender is performative, not essentialist, people are free agents to perform and become the gender they want to be

TERFs tend to claim that they want to dismantle patriarchy, but they’re the ones who reinforce it. TERFs actually reproduce patriarchy by being in charge of it and using it to oppress trans women 

One of the principle rules of the patriarchy is that there is no escape for anyone. According to the patriarchy the role that you were born into is all that you are allowed.

What I don't understand is, isn't feminism about fighting and destroying the patriarchy? This would imply that TERFs are upholding the patriarchy by not allowing an escape (i.e by not allowing gender change).so does that make them the TERFS, like, not feminists since in upholding the patriarchy, it inadvertently hurts cis women too?  

The patriarchy also enforces cissexism, which is the discriminatory false belief system that trans people’s identities are not as ‘valid’ as cis people’s. Thus, I want to abolish these cis-sexist systems of power to help Transgender people have true freedom once and for all.

I want us to create a new hierarchy less system where Cisgender people and Transgender people have true equal rights from the get go (i.e a fresh start) in a world where culture and our institutions are changed where someones gender doesn’t matter and where there is no Cissexism or Cisgender patriarchy .

We need to change our system’s model for people of all genders/sexes. 

This is builds upon merely giving Transgender people equal rights and parity in the existing Cissexist, Cisgender patriarchal system , because until we abolish the Cisgender patriarchal system, any gains in Transgender rights will just breed complacency and a false sense of equality. 

If we do not change the model of accumulation, generation of wealth, how we distribute wealth, the value of work and abolish the Cissexist patriarchal system, we will not have justice and true equality for transgender people

The biological arguments against Transgenderism are eerily similar to scientific racism. We must not be scientifically racist , racist, scientifically transphobic or transphobic ever.

From Roar Mag

The very concept of “male” and “female” are western constructs, that ignore that other cultures have historically had different conceptions of gender.

More importantly, the concept of “biology” itself has been used and continues to be used to enforce not only transphobia but also racism. Human biology as we know it was founded by white colonists, and it pathologized race, framing it as genetic difference, in order to more easily subjugate non-white people.

“Science” in all contexts must be viewed critically, with an understanding of the perspectives through which it is viewed. There are countless examples of science being used to justify discrimination. Scientific racism has been used most often against Black people globally since the colonization of the American and African continents.

White people wielded the terminology of science as an “objective and rational” tool to justify slavery. They argued that enslaved Black people were inherently less human, that they had a “disease” that made them want to run away from enslavement. In 1994, The Bell Curve by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray claimed that Black Americans are naturally inferior because of lower IQ scores.

Transphobic pseudoscience can be seen in Janice Raymond’s The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male, a book that came out in 1979 but was reissued in 1994. In the book, Raymond claims that trans people psychologically and surgically reinforce gender stereotypes. She even goes as far as to argue — with no evidence — that trans-affirming surgeries were developed in nazi concentration camps.

Genny Beemyn explains that “for Raymond, transsexual women are not women but ‘castrated’ and ‘deviant’ men who were a creation of the medical and psychological specialties that arose… Ignoring centuries of gender nonconformity in cultures around the world, she erroneously considers transsexuality to be a recent phenomenon stemming from the development of genital surgeries.”

While TERFs today might not always use comparisons as extreme as Raymond, they do use the terminology of modern medicine to denounce gender nonconformity, disregarding long histories of people outside the western gender binary. Human biology, constructed by those in power and used to advance oppression, views the colonized and the enslaved as subjects to study, deviations from a white, cisgender norm

How do people know there is no genetic component at play in Transgenderism?  You never really know a person's chromosomes. Again see here

My views on the defunct r/GenderCritical subreddit and Ovarit can be found here   

I believe there might be some element of biological reality of being a man or woman, but as noted above, it is more complicated than that and more research is needed

Women don’t have prostates

In line with my private/at heart views, I believe that this man raped a 7 year old child, he should not be put into a woman's prison. He belongs in a man's prison. 

Him changing his pronouns plus the threat he poses to female inmates means he should be put in a men's prison instead of a woman's prison. He is gaming the system; he is pretending to a be a woman so he can be jailed with women so he can abuse them.  I am trying to get him transferred to a man's prison where he belongs.  

And no even with 'gender affirming care' he should not be in a woman's prison (though if it causes him to pass as a woman as good as the transwoman way above I cited, then I will say in that far fetched scenario  if he ends up looking like a woman him being in a male prison at that point is as bad as that guy now being in a female prison).   In that situation I don't care where he is placed

Personally, I am indifferent leaning toward a political position that is in between Seventeenth political position and not support for CHILDREN between 4 or 5 and 16 becoming Transgender , partly because I feel that they might be victims of bullying and discrimination by their peers if they become transgender that young.   

Personally, this view of mine, is to protect them from bullying, not to deny them their rights. But my other reasons are , let kids be kids. Kids aren’t old enough to vote, work full time or have real jobs, go to war, consent to sex, drive, but they can magically decide to change their gender and we are cool with this? really? 

If kids aren’t mature enough to do the above things why are they mature enough to change their gender? 

This article has some good insight on this

We need to have an open discussion about teenage girls who have extreme sexual trauma and eating disorders being over-diagnosed with gender dysphoria.  

This is not some transphobic rhetoric that people make up, this is a real phenomenon that plenty detransitioned women have experienced. 

They were in denial about the effect of their trauma on their relationships with their bodies, they confused with gender dysphoria, and often they were very pressured to transition by well meaning but overzealous therapists who told them that medical transition was the only option for them to be saved from suicide, and they all were universally left in a worse state due to the medical transition that made them hate their bodies even more and just further prevented them from addressing the roots of their emotional agony.

I just feel it's so concerning that people keep being accused of being transphobic for speaking about this. 

We have to stop unknowingly doing things which even give the appearance of sexualizing kids. 

I also agree with this article by NYMag on the whole trans kids issue

The issue involving transgenderism is the children.  That’s always been the main concern by me and other decent people involving transgenderism. Adults can do what they like (Libertarian reasons).

But if denying kids puberty blockers or transgender medical care leads to their health suffering unrelated to Transgenderism and or if denying them puberty blockers means those kids will still identify as Transgender without even passing as such and without transitioning non medically (and because it was never illegal for kids of any age to be Transgender in the US until the last few years), personally, I will stand down and won't show any hesitation to or be off political compass on those kids above getting that help 

Giving kids puberty blockers might be good for non pro affirmation reasons at least since it allows kids to be kids a little longer instead of growing up too fast. 

Personally, I can stomach and maybe even strongly tolerate infants and toddlers (from newborn to 3 or 4 years of age) becoming transgender because that would mean since they are already transitioned to their new gender, when they get older they will thus not feel a need to change their gender due to social pressure or overzealous therapists and also because being trans from that age onward is almost like they were born as the gender they changed to as an infant/toddler, so it feels more ‘natural’ . But personally I don't support any youth between birth and somewhere in the teens transitioning unless r/transgender can convince me otherwise

Basically a lesser of two controversial practices . I would never want my niece to be transgender at any age below 17         

Legality wise, I am trying to abolish the state , hierarchies, the cisgender patriarchy, so I don’t need to state legality wise if before we abolish the state , hierarchies, the cisgender patriarchy, if I support children becoming Transgender between ages of 4 and 5 and 16 becoming Transgender (legality wise I lean support for infants and toddlers (from newborn to 3 or 4 years of age) becoming transgender AND transitioning to their new gender from newborn to 3 or 4) even in our current cissexist, statist,hierarchy society).   

The truth is, hearing far right neocon neoliberal reactionary Jennifer Rubin support kids becoming Trans, I have to give lip service to being against that on principal just so I am not on the same side of Jennifer Rubin on this issue

I believe that children should get consent from their parents before becoming Transgender.

I believe that if children don’t like how their parents are treating them that children should have an unconditional right to end their parents’ guardianship at any age where they are physically capable of running away. 

I feel that this right should also include the right for the child to strike out on their own with them being allowed to become Transgender after striking out on their own (even without their parents permission to become transgender, but not before they strike out on their own) 

Neither parents nor the State should have any right to force runaway children to return to the guardianship of any adult against the child’s will

I am glad that Sweden is ending gender affirming care for youth. It is a positive move in the right direction  

I would like to clarify that recent modern science doesn’t support transitioning. Modern science does rightfully support a person’s choice to choose but not the actual act of transitioning.   

Specifically because of major black mail, threats and social media backlash on the scientific community for even contemplating it may be unhealthy.  

This is very very common in child transitioning. 

We have evidence that proves that it is terrible for any person under the minimum age of 21 , with the recommended age for transitioning being 28 , to even contemplate hormonal therapy's or surgerys. 

The suicide rate is even more exorbitant in teenage girls due to the social pressures that are involved with how ‘normalized’ the LGBTQ society is that children think it is common to be transgender just because they feel different, when in reality it is really just puberty and growing up with social media etc 

All in all the trans bans misses the point but do not  just believe something is good because a group of people vehemently say that it is good. 

I have no real issues with adults choosing to be whatever they want to be, but modern science does not support it. Modern science does not disclaim it out of courtesy but it does not agree with it either. This is a good compromise by science and shows they know how to properly handle sensitive social issues in an uplifting and non divisive way  

There is NOTHING wrong or transphobic about a woman saying they are proud to be a woman. I fully support Adele's 2022 Brit Awards speech. Her speech was 100 percent positive and great.

I'm not entirely convinced that being nonbinary renunciates identity or essentialism; instead, I believe that it's predicated on fundamental misunderstandings that reinforce both identity and essentialism.

Like, let's say I go up to someone and I say to that person  "he walked into that store" to someone else when I am being asked as to said person's location. 

I've obtained some info from the person in question’s appearance, but did I assume something about essence in this case? I don't think that that type of statement is by itself a judgment of the interior status of said person, a declaration about the identity of that person, when instead, it’s how that person appeared to be conducting himself relative to the family of outward markers which I connect with "masculinity." 

In so much as I may believe that this person to be of a masculine identity, this assumption that I have is posterior to said associative process, but not anterior though, and supposing that there is ever any attention given to the individual’s inner life at all.

The assumptions behind "nonbinary" are used to reinforce the systems of markers that are already associated with the masculine and feminine and often to reduce masculinity and femininity to radical expressions - to stereotypes - just so nonbinary are distinct from them, as something more verbal than simply verbal. 

In a less abstract way, to declare masculine identity as not being a part of oneself , but being nonbinary, one has already believed that "masculine identity" has a bit of definitive interior content which one can offset in the first place, and that to identify oneself as a man is in need of some kind of this interior content to belong to one's sense of self either as a basic attribute, or an imagined self to which one has to conform in order to be able o possess the identity (or, oftentimes, both). 

Moreover, the content that was rejected is more than the use of pronouns but is involved with an array of stereotypes such as thinking, appearance, behavioral and so on marking the given gender. While these stereotypes existed before "nonbinary," the inferred exclusion of alternative non-stereotypical attributes to a not-masculine or not-feminine gender category leans on the narrowing of the gender identities to these sorts of stereotypes.

Or to put it another way, one wants you to know that masculinity has a kind of essence internal to it by way of the declaration of not belonging to this kind of an essence; nonbinary doesn't reject essentialism though it subtly is reliant on the ideas of gender essentiality so that it has meaning at all
