If a person is afraid to CHECK THE MAIL for fear of seeing a certain name, because somehow a series of letters in a certain order could cause them severe anguish, then they need therapy. The fact that we're all supposed to coddle this childish mindset is insane.
As I commented when we discussed this in early December:
I'm just staggered that a lawyer who expects to be taken seriously before the top courts of the nation would say in public, "I don't bother to pay my bills, and it's someone else's fault."
Kara, I will never forget that day at the Heritage Foundation, mostly because it was surreal. As the lesbian moms walking in with me said - it was like walking into Mordor, some place you never thought you’d be. How did we get here? Why do left wingers have to go to the Heritage Foundation, of all places, to speak freely about concerns regarding gender ideology and gender “medicine”? I’m of the moderate middle, yet this was the only place any of us could go, regardless of our politics, to have freedom of thought and freedom of speech on this topic. And here we are, so many years later - so much has happened, but it’s definitely not over. Thank you so much for all your hard work, it has made such a difference. And I always pray for your safety!
In Chase's own words: when we "misgender" someone, we are "tapping into a whole system of trauma that we ["trans people"] are managing every second of every day." At the same time, Chase would surely accuse me, a liberal feminist mom, of sharing your "violent vision for trans death," owing to my stated wish that my daughter resist signing up for a life of misery and victimhood so bleak as to render even its highest-achieving adherents too emotionally crippled to confront their own mailbox. Whoever suggested she back away from TwiX was probably on to something.
When I check the mail, I occasionally find mail addressed to my trans-identified, long-estranged daughter. What a relief it is to see her given name, it's as if she still exists somewhere out there, that she hasn't been totally disappeared.
In Kate's own words: when we claim that boys and men are girls and women, we are "tapping into a whole system of trauma that we [girls and women] are managing every second of every day."
That's why they won't let women have anything that men can't have, and it's why women will actually destroy their bodies to escape this nightmare they're helping to create.
Chase is one of the Great Apes, one of those female chimpanzees who go on raiding parties with the males and scream support from the sidelines as they carry out their vicious raids. I hope you're right and this is over soon. I would like to go back to bickering over stuff like tax policy and how we help those in need. Boring stuff, but important stuff.
“purveyor of some truth that exists behind the pages of our advocacy for trans existence”
I LOVE that Kate said this. Because it's factually true.
We ARE purveyors of the truth that exists beyond the academic pages of Queer Theory and marketing materials of the gender-enforcement lobby, i.e. that lobby's marketing "advocacy" for its marketing campaign of an imaginary "trans existence."
We're also here to announce that the truth exists beyond the marketing slogan, "Take me away, Calgon!"
Glad that Singal spoke out so forcefully--The defamation needs pushback. BTW, if I was the ACLU, I'd fire Strangio for being such an incompetent lawyer..
"....anyone who needs help deciphering it might ask Judith Butler."
Uh, no thank you! Lol. And Strangio complaining that the "material reality" of managing her name change harms her! Where's that rolling on the floor emoji?

"TwiX"
🤣
I've been deadnaming Twitter just on principle. But this is hilarious. I might have to start using it.
When I check the mail, I occasionally find mail addressed to my trans-identified, long-estranged daughter. What a relief it is to see her given name, it's as if she still exists somewhere out there, that she hasn't been totally disappeared.

In Kate's own words: when we claim that boys and men are girls and women, we are "tapping into a whole system of trauma that we [girls and women] are managing every second of every day."
Men who refuse to respect women's right to our own identity are, by definition, male supremacists.
Iran loves them.
I just told my husband about TwiX, and he said:
"Or Xitter." (with the Chinese pronunciation of X)
🤣🤣
"men are better, stronger and faster than women."
Kate had to dishonestly replace the word "bigger" with the word "better" in order to pretend what she is intent on pretending.
The truth (which she knows perfectly well) is that men ARE bigger, stronger, and faster than women.
That doesn't make men BETTER. Kate and her misogynist gender-enforcement cult are the *only* people who think it does.
But she DOES think men are better, that's why she desperately pretends to be one!
Yes, indeed, she does.
Everyone in this entire stupid cult does.
That's why they won't let women have anything that men can't have, and it's why women will actually destroy their bodies to escape this nightmare they're helping to create.
"Autopay" for the win.🔥🔥🔥

"The cost of being trans: I still get mail."
The jokes just write themselves.
Thank you for your intelligent and coherent work and for referring us to Judith Butler to decipher postmodern silliness(hahahaha)

WE ARE.
Congrats on noticing, Kate, ya wet melt.
We shall overcome.

They won't do that until they're done exploiting her as their "transgenderist" muppet.
Then they'll fire her on a dime.
5 years. And seven since the panel discussion. Time flies when you are having fun!
Who knew we would still be doing this?
"....anyone who needs help deciphering it might ask Judith Butler."

Thanks, Kara
Strangio has a very appropriate surname!!

Did you ever contemplate suing Strangio for defamation?
Oh Kara, you are so good. Just calmly asking all these simple but devastating questions
