What heroine or hero among us can unite these three virtues and shepherd us home to a Nice Place to Live?? - -Shared mass-blocklists might help here? Although that does, unfortunately, put the onus of the trivial inconvenience [TODO linky] on the reader. Not sure what else to suggest (in the face of disagreements on what Tweets constitute "harm"), sorry. [cold sweat] - -Less-harsh rephrasing: passing (and especially passing-for-cis) has a large effect on social outcomes for "deep" structural reasons; more anti-transphobia political activism won't solve this problem (but, e.g., cheaper facial feminization surgery might!) - -There's a sense in which cis is the default—cis (non-trans) bodies are what you get in the absence of exogenous hormone replacement therapy. (There were some permanent effects after my 5-month 2017 HRT experiment, so I'm "less" cis than I would otherwise be in a way??) - -Trans people are a sufficiently small minority that I wouldn't be surprised if medical science doesn't yet know what things are due to developmental sex and what to current hormone levels—it would be great to see more research on this!
