I don’t ever need to see this again.

She did warn us though, about the GC sustained letter writing campaign.

There are also a lot of simplistic statements floating about that easily gain traction with people who do not know the subject matter - trans people have not lost any rights, sex cannot be changed, etc. These are so important in normalising the hate

This is a key end goal. I've had a strategy email for my MP in draft for a month addressing this.

MP's need to onboard trans women are women etc. Not just arguments but their reactions and emotional responses by default. Don't judge us by those who didn't get our healthcare when kids, or the media.

Trans+ is a way of referring not only to the trans community, but also trans-adjacent people and others who might benefit from some of the same resources as the trans community. It is less about who specifically is included.

It has grown in usage in the community and with other orgs.

Useful resource thanks. My other post was about no longer saying 'gender questioning' as this was now considered inappropriate, in that it feeds the trope that trans people don't know themselves. But it's used in this letter...so I got that wrong, or maybe it depends on context and who says it.

I would generally be very wary of any language used towards us in the media.

And for all the queerphobic jokes how "there are constanly new genders & letters in LGBT", I'd say our own terms are relatively consistent while GCists constantly come up with new dogwhistles for deniable plausibility.
