LGBTQ+ People Are Not Going Back

Julia Serano’s «LGBTQ+ People Are Not Going Back» master post, with links to all the community contributions.

Julia Serano, leading transgender philosopher, activist and scientist writes:

Last week, I proposed a mass action for today (Tuesday, December 3, 2024), in which LGBTQ+ people and allies who have platforms of any kind would publish individual creations (writings, videos, podcasts, social media posts, etc.) with the shared title “LGBTQ+ People Are Not Going Back.” While each of our creations would be in our own voices—as no single individual speaks on behalf of our entire community—we would all encourage our audiences to contact their representatives to let them know that we will not tolerate any more backsliding on LGBTQ+ rights!

Under find some of the articles and posts. For an updated list, see Serano’s post. See also a selection over at Prism and Pen.

Criticism, spam flood DPS email created to report court orders from transgender Texans

Texas DPS flooded with criticism, spam due to anti-LGBTQ order

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) recently implemented a policy prohibiting changes to the sex marker on driver’s licenses and state IDs, even with court orders or amended birth certificates.

Advocacy groups, including the ACLU of Texas, have criticized the policy, arguing it endangers transgender individuals by exposing them to potential discrimination and violence.

“Documents obtained by the Dallas Morning News showed that of the 542 pages of correspondence sent to the email address [for correcting gender marker], roughly 70 pages contained emails from DPS employees that included court order submissions or messages that were heavily redacted, making it unclear what was reported. The remaining emails featured pleas to stop collecting information about transgender Texans, criticism of the agency’s move and spam.”

NY Times hammered for article referring to biological women as ‘non-transgender women’

When X banned the term cisgender it was clearly an attempt to control language in such a way that it would become impossible to describe the difference between women who are not transgender and those who are not.

The goal was to lock in the idea that all women have to be «biological women». Still, one might think that activists who spend most of their time attacking transgender women would have to acknowledege the existence of such women and that they therefore would need ways of separating the two categories.

In practice they do so, of course, but in their ideological fervor they are now pretending to be offended not only by the term «cis» but also the term «non-transgender». «Real women» are not «non-transgender», because that would imply that transgender women are a women.

Anti-trans activist must know that we use adjectives to describe different categories of women on a daily basis, also categories that do not refer to types some do not recognize. Some do not like «independent women» or «strong women», but they still accept that the adjectives can be used. So what it the point here?

This is an Orwellian attempt to stop journalists and politicians from using any language that would imply an acceptance of the existence of trans women as women. The point is to force everyone to refer to trans women as men. Their goal is the linguistic erasure of trans women, leading to the political and cultural erasure of this group.

They will have to abandon the term «real women» next, I suppose, as «unreal women» is also a category of women.

It is imortant that we make journalists and politicians aware of this trickery.
