  So I can’t really give your comment a free pass. Because in a way it’s guilty of the exact same “you need look like a man/woman to be one” fallacy held by transphobes.

  Cuz TIL about PCOS, basically when womens’ ovaries produce hormones that among other symptoms can give some women full on facial hair / beards. Saw a creator/advocate and actually had to look into their profile to realize they weren’t mtf.

  …

  Also kinda weird that we’re defaulting to a binary system after spending years advocating that gender affirming care is individualized and between a doctor and patient. IMO facility placement should also be case by case.

  Great example is a man committing crimes against women, who transitioned after being incarcerated, and was refused transfer to a womens facility because of their *ongoing attempts to victimize female corrections officers.

  …

  Quite frankly everyone demanding gender accurate prisons has lost the plot anyways cuz prisons are a tool of oppression in a system designed to chew us up and spit us out. We should be demanding restorative justice that sidesteps the vast majority of concerns our current system creates.

      Does your hospital have communal showers?
