It's fucking insane how what is considered acceptable language changes several times within a year. I remember it went from being, "sex and gender are different, trans people are biologically [male/female] but their gender identity is the opposite", to "don't say biological, you should say they have the body of a [male/female]", so flat out stealing intersex terminology (AMAB/AFAB and CAMAB/CAFAB), to deciding that biological sex is an arbitrary product of colonialism and gender identity matters more (even though their goddess Judith Butler was the one who proposed gender was a social construct), and now transwomen have decided they're the only people who matter so now people are pressured to disclose if they're "TME" (transmisogyny exempt) or "TMA" (transmisogyny affected) instead of male/female or "cis"/trans.
It's weird how they both seem to hate and love doctors at the same time. They're against "gatekeeping" (AKA screening if people are actually mentally well enough to know what hormones even do) and consider any therapy that doesn't blindly validate someone's gender identity to be on par with gay conversion therapy, but at the same time the moment someone expresses discomfort with their body or sexuality they NEED to transition ASAP or else they'll kill themselves.
Ironically, while transmedicalists used to be the side on the trans debate that made somewhat more sense, the fact most of them trust doctors too much is why I find them annoying.
Debra Soh is literally a moderate in the gender wars. She's supportive of teenagers and adults medically transitioning but also knows that puberty blockers are dangerous, and is fine with transwomen using women's public restrooms but not private biological female-only spaces or rape shelters. But I guess when it comes to supporting the troons it's either all or nothing...
I actually liked that the book had takes that would piss both sides off, lol. I'm more often than not on the Radfem side so I disagreed with some things, but unlike the transactivists she had decent backing for her opinions so it was enough for me to understand where she was coming from.
Love when you can see the discontent before it is quickly swept under the rug

You probably already know how this will turn out...
