I suspect that some of these postings about Pride becoming “too much,” come from the same source.

I got two different postings on the same day which echoed suspiciously similar rhetoric in each. Using some of the same language and phrases.

I looked further into it and neither poster had any information about themselves that could be followed. No other postings. I blocked them

Could very well be - on other platforms there is a real problem with bots and troll accounts. I know Substack had an issue with this not too long ago - a bunch of bots randomly subscribing to random substacks. In this case though, Adam Brooks is a real guy, and the profile I wrote up on him is very factually correct :)

The reference to trans people "cutting off healthy body parts" is becoming creepily common among the right wing..

I want to ask every person who uses the phrase to denigrate trans health care if they campaign against circumcision.

Or surgery for gynecomastia. Or rhinoplasty (or, for that matter, pretty much any other plastic surgery).

Or - ooh! ooh! - a shave and a haircut (two bits).

Okay, that last is sarcastic, because it doesn't involve actually removing the hair, just shortening it. But what about electrolysis?

The creepy - I use the word again because it is so appropriate - obsession of the transmisiacs with body parts and genitalia is simultaneously disturbing and unsurprising.

Let's not forget the “normalization” surgery done on intersex babies.
