      @LucieHolliday @JolyonMaugham honestly this is one of the tragedies of the polarised debate on trans issues - a given trans person is likely to agree strongly about wanting to expand the permissible range of gender expression (for all genders). but it's dangerous to express that publicly.

    @LucieHolliday @JolyonMaugham a hypothetical example : if you are a trans woman, but sometimes like to dress in traditionally masculine clothing, that can be used (for example, by doctors, when seeking transition care) as evidence that you're not really a woman, shouldn't you think a bit more about this

      @LucieHolliday @JolyonMaugham that's not every trans person. but the effort of shaping your story so that it is legible within traditional gender norms is definitely something that a lot of trans people face. and... we're the ones who best know how arbitrary & mutable gender is

        @LucieHolliday @JolyonMaugham like, search twitter for the phrase "abolish gender" and you'll find a lot of trans people.
