@riley Is this btw the same guy who said that all trans girls who are not sexually attracted to men masturbated with their mom's panties when they were teenagers, or some dumb shit like that? 🤨

You know you're in a Swedish trans group when you get hit with “actually ‘genuine transsexual’ is a Harry Benjamin concept and completely unproblematic” and then other trans people show up to support them for saying so. -

Given that it still feels like we as a society have just begun accepting trans people, and it's still a surprisingly slow process with lots of friction, I think it's pretty cool that they at least did something back then. The gatekeeping and not getting with the times though is such garbage, and some of that "real trans" does sound very reminiscent of Swedish trans policy. Like, wtf let people be who they are!

That makes a lot of sense. I have to go read up on that, to learn to recognize that kind of stupidity when I see it.

A quick Google didn't give any clear results. But a cis man writing about such a subject in the 1960s seems like there's an enormous risk of it being very outdated at this point, even if it might have been seen as progressive and good back then (which I don't know if it was, but seemingly so from a quick glance).

Sometimes I want to toot in Swedish.Sometimes I want to toot in Swedish. But my non-Swedish followers will see those toots in their Home timeline due to lack of language filtering. Those toots will be perceived as trash. Too many such toots will be spammy trash and I will lose followers, and rightly so. Mastodon, you are forcing me to be silent. Fix your shit. Apply the language filter to the Home timeline as well.
