I am looking in the real world where trans activism was the cause for informed consent and younger transitions. Vastly improving the lives of trans people in the US.
Trans people are better off now specifically due to trans activism.
Every action having an "equal and opposite reaction" is a physics concept which doesn't apply here.
> 1) It's a medical condition. Better activism doesn't lead to better patient outcomes. It just puts conflicting pressures on already overtaxed doctors that make it hard for them to treat patients properly. See what's happening to trans folks for an example.
What? Activism by trans people is directly responsible for the improvement of the lives of trans people (see informed consent for example).
"favourable book review of someone that has unproven and controversial but absolutely not fringe views" imagine saying this in 1930 and suddenly it doesn't sound as innocent.
This poster is a well known transphobic troll that makes new accounts every week and implies that trans women are autistic males who "pretend" to be women because of sexism.
That being said, saying presenting instead of being is not ideal indeed.
I completely disagree, I find this claim to also be unsupported by the current evidence. Identity is only a part of being trans and often comes much later.
You may not be convinced but I am simply stating my experience. I would be open to proof of the opposite. This is also seen in other open source adjacent communities around the world (eg: hacker conventions)
In the 2010s there was a sort of emancipation for trans people, and you could see them more and more often being openly involved with open source software. It is only natrual to want to turn open source communities to be explicitly accepting.
