Some choice quotes from their website:
1) Advance the right of LGB people - which we see as being in danger right now. We believe that attempts to introduce confusion between biological sex and the notion of gender are harming LGB people.
2) Amplify the voices of lesbians - Lesbians experience additional discrimination as women who are same-sex attracted in a male-dominated society. The confusion between gender and sex means that lesbians must accept that a transwoman is a woman as a matter of absolute fact. () We believe that attempts to compel women to believe that male genitals can be female is a form of sexual assault, an attack on the rights of lesbians and a threat to their very existence.
3) Protect Children - We believe it's wrong for children to be labelled masculine or feminine on the basis of clothing or play/activity preferences and in some cases to be led to believe that they might be trapped in the wrong body. These rigid gender definitions are deeply regressive and could possibly encourage body dysphoria. The numbers of children, particularly girls, seeking help has increased at an alarming rate. We believe that this is related to the rise of pseudoscience and increased misinformation about basic biology along with a rise in homophobia and anti-lesbian sentiment and lesbian invisibility. Too many young people are being prescribed powerful, experimental drugs that may have a long-term impact on their physical and mental well-being, which can also result in sterility. They may decide to undergo surgery that cannot be reversed.
4) We will promote respectful freedom of speech and informed dialogue. We are not anti trans and fully support trans people in their struggle, for dignity, respect and a life lived free from bigotry and fear. However we believe that right now, as the loudest voice, the trans lobby enjoys a disproportionate influence.
That pretty much neatly summarises what the autists here have been saying for years. Lol, no wonder troons are seething, this group is straight up calling them out on their bullshit and giving John Money the finger.
Now you may wonder what this group looks like?
Lord help us all

'An Activist, a Warrior, a Mother to So Many.' Lorena Borjas, Pillar of New York Trans Community, Dies From Coronavirus
Lorena Borjas, a long-standing pillar of New York's trans Latinx community, has died from coronavirustime.com
Transgender Latinx Activist Lorena Borjas Dies from COVID-19 | Time

'An Activist, a Warrior, a Mother to So Many.' Lorena Borjas, Pillar of New York Trans Community, Dies From Coronavirus
Aged 19 and incarcerated on Rikers Island, Bianey Garcia and a friend — victims of a homophobic attack that had led to their arrests, Garcia says — needed help. They called Lorena Borjas.
A pillar of New York City’s Latinx LGBTQ community, Borjas had long been known as a staunch defender of the rights of trans people, Latinx people, undocumented people and sex workers. Borjas helped Garcia and her friend obtain a lawyer, who won their case and later helped them get immigration papers to stay in the U.S. A decade later, Garcia is now a justice worker with New York City-based advocacy organization Make the Road. “Lorena was like a mother for many in the transgender community,” Garcia tells TIME. “She used to help anyone.“
On Monday, March 30, Borjas died from complications related to coronavirus, officials announced, a loss that has rocked the trans community of Queens, N.Y., and beyond. She was 60, per NBC New York.
“Lorena Borjas was a real hero for trans people, especially in Queens. She was a leader, a builder and a healer,” Mara Keisling, the executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, said in a statement. “The NCTE family is saddened by her passing and has her broad family and the Queens Latinx community in our hearts today.”
Borjas had been a prominent community organizer and health educator for decades, working to end human trafficking, which she herself survived, according to the Transgender Law Center. In 2017, she received a rare pardon from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for a conviction she received in the 1990s while being trafficked, with Gov. Cuomo praising her advocacy work in New York state. (The conviction had put Borjas, a Mexican national, at high risk of deportation.)
Her community health work included a HIV testing site Borjas set up in her own home, and a syringe exchange program for trans-women using hormone injections, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office. In 2012, she and activist Chase Strangio co-founded the Lorena Borjas Community Fund, which helped cover bail and pay legal fees for for LGBTQ immigrants.
Just a few weeks ago, Borjas set up a fund for trans-people who had lost their jobs to COVID-19, the disease caused by novel coronavirus.
Activists and community leaders across New York City took to social media after the news of her death broke.
“Lorena was honestly one of the most amazing women I’ve ever met,” Lynly Egyes, the legal director of the Transgender Law Center, tells TIME. “She was an activist, a warrior, a mother to so many.”
Egyes, 38, says she first met Borjas while working for the Sex Workers Project at the Urban Justice Center. At the time, Egyes remembers she was representing two incarcerated transgender women; Borjas “just showed up” with a much-needed birth certificate for one of the women, pulling it out of the Mary Poppins roller bag she always carried with her. “You never knew what was in there,” Egyes laughed.
Egyes later represented Borjas while campaigning for her pardon, and says she she received scores of letters during that time from people who said “Lorena literally saved my life.” They told Egyes about times Borjas protected them from an abusive partner or took them into her home when they had nowhere else to go. “That wasn’t an uncommon story about Lorena,” Egyes says. “[She would] provide services and resources to anyone who just got to New York City and needed a hand or help,” she continues. “And she did this without pay. She just did it because it was the right thing to do.”
“What I lived through helped me fight for justice for my sisters,” Borjas said in a 2018 interview. “My goal in life is to help them in everything I can.”
Cristina Herrera, the CEO and founder of the non-profit Translatinx Network, describes Borjas as an outgoing and resourceful woman who was “determined to make her visions come true.” Over the 32 years the women knew each other, Herrera, 49, tells TIME she watched Borjas grow into a respected and powerful community leader. “She was a source of strength for many of us,” Herrera adds.
“She’s made the world better so selflessly, so humbly, without often any type of recognition,” Egyes says. “I think she taught everyone she knew about how to be a better person.”

twitter trannies keep saying they'll be safe from Covid-19 because they pop estrogen. is this true?
from these posts, it seems not to be. do they understand that?
i admit i know little about biology except some basics from college, nothing about "receptors". now i'm confused.
so if men have few estrogen receptors, what does busloads of Rx estrogen actually -do- in the male body? is this a placebo effect? is this why they seem to 'hit the wall' after a point & can't become any more feminine?
i wondered since my brother joking that if us guys need to take estrogen to ward off the virus, he doesn't mind getting some tits to stay alive. its a small price to pay.

Estrogen is good for your immune system if you are female. Testosterone is good for your immune system if you are male. If you are female, you have considerably fewer ACE2 receptors for the virus to attach to. If you are male and taking estrogen, then you have the normal amount of ACE2 receptors for a male and a depressed immune system.
What does this all add up to? Troons are 100% immune to the Chinky Pox and should lick toilet seats at airports.

Hungary’s far-right leader Viktor Orban immediately moves to strip away trans rights after being granted absolute power
Hungary's far-right prime minister Viktor Orban has moved to strip away trans rights as one of his very first acts after his pandemic power grab.www.pinknews.co.uk
Hungary's far-right prime minister Viktor Orban has moved to strip away trans rights as one of his very first acts after his pandemic power grab. On Monday, the Hungarian parliament agreed to extend Orban's already strong powers by granting him the right to rule by decree indefinitely, meaning he no longer needs to consult other lawmakers before making decisions. His powers came into effect on Monday morning, and by the evening his deputy Zsolt Semjén had introduced a new bill which, if passed, will replace "gender" with "birth sex" in all legal documents issued in the country. The effect of this is that Hungarian citizens will be unable to change their gender legally, a significant rollback of rights in the eastern European country. Since data in official documents such as ID cards, driving licenses and passports are taken from the civil registry, the change would affect these as well. The explanatory memorandum of the bill states that current legislation does not define "gender" as it is determined biologically, adding: "The gender entered into the civil registry is based on facts determined by doctors, declared by the registry." It further states: "Given that completely changing one's biological gender is impossible, it is necessary to lay it down in law that it cannot be changed in the civil registry either."
In recent years Orban has refused to join his European neighbours in backing LGBT+ rights, declining to ratify the Istanbul Convention for its definition of gender as a social construct. In 2015, he blocked an agreement to prevent LGBT+ discrimination in Hungary, and in 2017 he hosted and spoke on behalf of a vile anti-LGBT+ group in Budapest. His latest bill will be terrifying for Hungary's trans and non-binary community, and it will not escape their notice that it was proposed on the eve of Trans Day of Visibility, adding insult to injury. In recent years Orban has been heavily criticised for his increasing oversight of the judiciary, media and foreign universities, and the new emergency measures will cement his power by effectively removing all checks and balances. The law also introduces jail terms for spreading disinformation about the virus, raising fears it could be used to neuter critics of the government’s approach.
According to Susan Faludi's memoir about her father's transition, trans "rights" were forced on Hungary in the early 2000s by a bunch of "human rights" advocates who did their usual cloak-and-dagger bullshit of getting laws passed with zero public input. Unsurprisingly, the public doesn't like having laws rammed down their throats with no debate. This outcome was completely foreseeable especially since Hungary is very socially conservative.
Steroid therapy for the virus only made things worse for patients, so I guess trannies suppressing their testosterone might help, but that's assuming suppressing their testosterone isn't fucking up their immune system in other ways.
I'd assume trannies can't get any more feminine after a certain point simply because the damage from testosterone has already been done. It's also not like pumping a woman with more estrogen will suddenly going to make her more feminine. More likely, it would just massively increase her risk of cancer.

Adult Time Is Getting Rid of Slurs in Trans Porn

A Huge Porn Site Is Getting Rid of Transphobic Labels
"Since many people turn to porn as a way to explore their kinks, fantasies, and questions about sexuality, we have an opportunity to educate while we entertain."

This article originally appeared on VICE US.
People often find porn featuring trans women with outdated, transphobic language, which only stands to perpetuate a cycle of discrimination and mistreatment against those women in real life. On Tuesday, premium porn site Adult Time announced that it would attempt to break this cycle by removing “transphobic terminologies,” across its entire portfolio of 50,000 videos.
The site, which describes itself as the “Netflix of porn,” streams premium adult content, and was created by porn pioneer Bree Mills. “Since many people turn to porn as a way to explore their kinks, fantasies, and questions about sexuality, we have an opportunity to educate while we entertain,” Mills said. “This is something that Adult Time sees as a responsibility. We want to do porn differently.”
Adult Time is a property of Gamma Entertainment, which will “remove all outdated and derogatory language across its entire portfolio,” according to a press release. The undertaking will require “revising and renaming archived titles, movie posters, and scene descriptions,” while training all staff, and creating a new standard to exclude transphobic language on new videos moving forward. Mills said porn producers and distributors can advocate “for a larger social shift towards greater sexual expression and acceptance,” through their content.
Trans porn has long been categorized by and marketed with terms that are otherwise understood to be slurs. Mills said the move was the company’s way to mark International Day of Trans Visibility, though she said she hopes Gamma’s move will lead other adult companies to do the same in the future. “We aren’t the first to do this,” she said. “Grooby, long considered the pioneer of trans content, made a similar shift several years ago. They are the true pioneers, we are simply the largest mainstream group of brands to follow suit.” Grooby was formerly known as “Shemale Yum,” and started the Tranny Awards for trans porn. Both the awards show and Shemale Yum were rebranded. The site still includes its former name on its main page.
“Our collective companies [at Gamma] account for a large percentage of trans production right now,” she said. “So far, everyone has been extremely receptive to the shift.”
Mills said that the porn industry, at large, has a fear that, “fans won’t recognize or understand more positive language,” but, “our main objective is to help educate fans who may not understand that some of the slang they use is no longer socially acceptable.” The change is a commitment to stop, “passively supporting outdated language just for the sake of ranking highly for certain search terms,” because many consumers only know about the genre based on words like “tranny,” or “shemale.”
Reporting by Vice has repeatedly found that cisgender men who are interested in transgender women typically uncover this aspect of their sexual identity in pornography. “As a teenager, trans porn became my sexual routine,” said Mike, a 21-year-old Brooklyn native, Mike. He found, and returned to, trans porn for years before meeting a trans woman for sex. Another man said that, as, “a teenager I encountered transgender women by chance through pornographic movies,” explaining that, “at the beginning, trans women were slightly shocking to me.” It took years for these men to reckon with the humanity of the people they found themselves attracted to in pornography.
Trans porn is, for many men, an introduction to a population that they didn’t previously know exists. This places trans porn in an exceptionally powerful position to shape perspectives on who and what trans people are.
“Many porn consumers who have great love and respect for trans women use outdated terms like ‘tranny’ and ‘shemale’ simply because they don’t know better,” Mills explained. “They have always searched these terms and have been influenced to do so by the way the niche is categorized and presented on adult sites and DVDs.”
While Mills says the trans productions within Gamma have supported this initiative, other trans porn performers are more critical.
Trans porn star Morgan Bailey told Vice that, while this is a positive change, she doesn’t believe it should be celebrated, “because it’s necessary, and frankly long overdue.” She echoed the idea that what people see in pornography is reproduced in the real world. “Porn is media, a huge portion of what we read and watch, we regurgitate later. Let’s all do our part to promote a healthier and safe world to live and fuck in.”
Mia Isabella, an icon of trans porn, is critical of Gamma’s decision to announce this on the Trans Day of Visibility. “I find it to be a highly suspicious and tacky marketing strategy,” Isabella said. This annual recognition of trans lives, “reaches further than the adult industry into every aspect of the trans experience and those brave enough to live their lives in the open. We are and have always been much more than our sexuality that has been used for decades to make companies rich and oftentimes enforcing stereotypes and stigma. The leading performers in our industry over the past decade to 15 years have often stepped forward to represent ourselves.”
Isabella, a seasoned pornographer, explained that trans women have had to fight for everything they have in this industry, including recognition within mainstream porn awards shows.
“Finally deciding it benefits a company enough to change transphobic titles and web domains doesn’t make [Adult Time or Gamma] revolutionary. It makes them late,” Isabella said. “You want to have the respect and admiration that comes with creative change? Empower your performers and your companies to work within our community. Instead of paying thousands for an award show table and for PR, invest in trans people so we can help change the lives for the next generation of us.”

They absolutely have a right to deny reality. However, they do NOT have the right to lobby for laws to be written/changed based on said denial of reality. Just wait until they change something that affects your daily life, and then I bet you'll change your tune pretty fucking quick.
Also, I don't see any FtM troons taking up male sports. If there truly is no advantage held by men in sporting events, then FtMs should be able to do well or even crush dudes right? When you flip their logic around it falls apart completely.

This isn't actually that new. I know atleast one hentai site that changed all futanari porn into trans porn. Witch in that case was really silly as many futanari stories are not about guys that changed into girls but girl that have dicks do magic or being born wierd. Mainly this is to have penetration sex in lesbian setting. Nothing to do with mentally ill men beyond those being fans of this genre.Ya boy Diana Tourjee comin at ya with more spicy reassurance that all y’all cishet penis havers really and surely must feel good about taking that ladypeen, this time nestled unobtrusively inside an article about obscure pay porn sites ending their transphobia by taking away all descriptive language that tranny porn enthusiasts know and use to search and find product!

People often find porn featuring trans women with outdated, transphobic language, which only stands to perpetuate a cycle of discrimination and mistreatment against those women in real life. On Tuesday, premium porn site Adult Time announced that it would attempt to break this cycle by removing “transphobic terminologies,” across its entire portfolio of 50,000 videos.
The site, which describes itself as the “Netflix of porn,” streams premium adult content, and was created by porn pioneer Bree Mills. “Since many people turn to porn as a way to explore their kinks, fantasies, and questions about sexuality, we have an opportunity to educate while we entertain,” Mills said. “This is something that Adult Time sees as a responsibility. We want to do porn differently.”
Adult Time is a property of Gamma Entertainment, which will “remove all outdated and derogatory language across its entire portfolio,” according to a press release. The undertaking will require “revising and renaming archived titles, movie posters, and scene descriptions,” while training all staff, and creating a new standard to exclude transphobic language on new videos moving forward. Mills said porn producers and distributors can advocate “for a larger social shift towards greater sexual expression and acceptance,” through their content.
Trans porn has long been categorized by and marketed with terms that are otherwise understood to be slurs. Mills said the move was the company’s way to mark International Day of Trans Visibility, though she said she hopes Gamma’s move will lead other adult companies to do the same in the future. “We aren’t the first to do this,” she said. “Grooby, long considered the pioneer of trans content, made a similar shift several years ago. They are the true pioneers, we are simply the largest mainstream group of brands to follow suit.” Grooby was formerly known as “Shemale Yum,” and started the Tranny Awards for trans porn. Both the awards show and Shemale Yum were rebranded. The site still includes its former name on its main page.
“Our collective companies [at Gamma] account for a large percentage of trans production right now,” she said. “So far, everyone has been extremely receptive to the shift.”
Mills said that the porn industry, at large, has a fear that, “fans won’t recognize or understand more positive language,” but, “our main objective is to help educate fans who may not understand that some of the slang they use is no longer socially acceptable.” The change is a commitment to stop, “passively supporting outdated language just for the sake of ranking highly for certain search terms,” because many consumers only know about the genre based on words like “tranny,” or “shemale.”
Reporting by Vice has repeatedly found that cisgender men who are interested in transgender women typically uncover this aspect of their sexual identity in pornography. “As a teenager, trans porn became my sexual routine,” said Mike, a 21-year-old Brooklyn native, Mike. He found, and returned to, trans porn for years before meeting a trans woman for sex. Another man said that, as, “a teenager I encountered transgender women by chance through pornographic movies,” explaining that, “at the beginning, trans women were slightly shocking to me.” It took years for these men to reckon with the humanity of the people they found themselves attracted to in pornography.
Trans porn is, for many men, an introduction to a population that they didn’t previously know exists. This places trans porn in an exceptionally powerful position to shape perspectives on who and what trans people are.
“Many porn consumers who have great love and respect for trans women use outdated terms like ‘tranny’ and ‘shemale’ simply because they don’t know better,” Mills explained. “They have always searched these terms and have been influenced to do so by the way the niche is categorized and presented on adult sites and DVDs.”
While Mills says the trans productions within Gamma have supported this initiative, other trans porn performers are more critical.
Trans porn star Morgan Bailey told Vice that, while this is a positive change, she doesn’t believe it should be celebrated, “because it’s necessary, and frankly long overdue.” She echoed the idea that what people see in pornography is reproduced in the real world. “Porn is media, a huge portion of what we read and watch, we regurgitate later. Let’s all do our part to promote a healthier and safe world to live and fuck in.”
Mia Isabella, an icon of trans porn, is critical of Gamma’s decision to announce this on the Trans Day of Visibility. “I find it to be a highly suspicious and tacky marketing strategy,” Isabella said. This annual recognition of trans lives, “reaches further than the adult industry into every aspect of the trans experience and those brave enough to live their lives in the open. We are and have always been much more than our sexuality that has been used for decades to make companies rich and oftentimes enforcing stereotypes and stigma. The leading performers in our industry over the past decade to 15 years have often stepped forward to represent ourselves.”
Isabella, a seasoned pornographer, explained that trans women have had to fight for everything they have in this industry, including recognition within mainstream porn awards shows.
“Finally deciding it benefits a company enough to change transphobic titles and web domains doesn’t make [Adult Time or Gamma] revolutionary. It makes them late,” Isabella said. “You want to have the respect and admiration that comes with creative change? Empower your performers and your companies to work within our community. Instead of paying thousands for an award show table and for PR, invest in trans people so we can help change the lives for the next generation of us.”
