I'm of the opinion that most intra-community arguments over trans issues are trivial and semantic and break down by attempting to apply a universal standard to what are multiple overlapping but discrete groups of people with different experiences and motivations.
I also think cis audiences are largely indifferent to the nuances involved in these discussions, especially the more theoretical ones, which is why big swing universalist arguments are more effective when trying to defend our rights.
somebody, quite possibly Putin, owns the tapes:
"Virginia Giuffre and five other young women in their statements, in their lawsuit, told us there were rooms with banks of monitors... monitoring every room and every bathroom,"

Ukraine: Geheimdienst SBU geht mit Razzien gegen Antikorruptionsbüro vor
Das ukrainische Antikorruptionsbüro NABU ist ins Visier des Geheimdienstes SBU geraten. Wegen angeblichen Geheimnisverrats fanden mehr als 70 Hausdurchsuchungen statt. Hintergrund könnte ein Machtkampf von Behörden sein.
Forderung für EU Beitritt: Korruptionsbekämpfung.
Gründung des NABU und weitere Organisationen zur Bekämpfung von Korruption durch Hilfe vom Außen. Diese Organisationen spionieren für Russland und sabotieren die Bekämpfung der Korruption, sodass nichts vorwärts geht.
Wer profitiert davon, dass die Ukraine wegen zu viel Korruption nicht in die EU aufgenommen wird?
Ein Schelm wer böses dabei denkt...

The Madagascar pochard doesn't have the showy good looks of some of its duck relations. But for a small group of scientists, it's an obsession. @NationalGeographic takes a look at the world's rarest duck, which is found only in Madagascar, was thought to have died out, then was rediscovered and made a comeback. As ornithologist Olivier Langrand says, if you look behind any story of saving a species, you’ll find devoted people — scientists, government officials, farmers and more. “It takes individuals to carry the torch from beginning to end.”

The harm caused by passwords has been normalized, internalized, and priced in, but it doesn’t have to be. Some technical people don’t see passwords as a problem because they’ve figured out how to set up a password manager and 2FA, and think they’re too smart to ever be phished.
How other people cope with passwords? They don’t care. It’s “I’ve got mine.” for security. bbc.com/news/articles/cx2gx288…

One weak password is believed to have been all it took for a ransomware gang to destroy a 158-year-old company and put 700 people out of work in UK. This is why you need a strong password along with 2FA and all other cybersecurity practices that can be maintained by good IT staff, including verified backups.

Als Antwort auf Nowhere Girl • • •There is a tendency to believe a specific rhetorical strategy is what's needed, most of which are centered on a particular set of experiences to the exclusion of others, when in fact, cis people do not care.
We're in trouble because anti-trans reactionaries in politics and media have worked tirelessly to create a permission structure for denying trans identities and rights instead of supporting them, which relies on the strength of taboo and the transphobic social default.

Als Antwort auf Nowhere Girl • • •Trans rights didn't begin to suffer in the polls until Democrats threw us under the bus, for example, refusing to defend us or even talk about us against a barrage of bigoted attacks not only by Republicans but by reactionary elite members of the Democratic Party and its own consultant-donor-media class.
A bunch of "liberal" media outlets helped Republicans build a fascist permission structure by both sides-ing all of these issues. "Maybe the fascists have a point! We should listen to them!"

Trans hatred was unpopular! It was -vastly- unpopular, and you could say stop fucking wanting to look at underage genitals you freaks and get applause.
And rather than hold that stand they just said nah, we'd rather pick a different fight, they can crush these people. Trans demo is too small.
Look at the famous people 'harmed' by trans people? The woman who tied for 5th place in a swimming contest is being paid millions.
