gender essentialism

Belief in the essential (absolute and fundamental) reality of gender, in preference over the essential reality of biology.

Gender essentialism proves sex is a spectrum, my soon-to-be woke friends.

ex-trans

"Ex-trans" is a detransphobic slur invented by anti-detrans activists, modeled after the homophobic "ex-gay" label, with the intention to smear detransitioners and allies as supposed bigots.

Detransitioners are detrans folk: detrans males and detrans females, detrans men and detrans women.

Many still suffer gender dysphoria. Many still fit the medical and legal definitions of trans. Many are LGB.

For most, transition isn't easily or ever fully undone. It becomes a scar carried physically and mentally for life.

Please don't say "ex-trans", thanks.
