Thank you for saying this!!! If I was a teenager today, I'd be on testosterone with a double mastectomy because it would have seemed like an escape from the sexual abuse I was suffering at home. It pains me so greatly to think of what I would have missed out on had I done that! Motherhood and breastfeeding chief among them. My heart breaks for young gay/bi kids now. Then I'm filled with rage at what's being done to them. I can't believe how regressive this bullshit is. Thank you for planting your feet firmly on this side of reality and speaking out. ♥️
Great post Monica! Michael Shellenberger is waking people up to what is happening. So are you! Where are the "feminists" on the issue of trans women competing in women's sports? This should not even be remotely controversial--it should be a hard no! The fear of being ostracized is palpable and must be addressed. I think people are waking up and becoming more courageous slowly but surely. Sabrinalabow.substack.com
As I like to refer to myself as a fiercely mentally and physically independent "dyke in a heterosexual female body," one that loves turning wrenches, driving my tractor and truck, and managing my farm, thank you! I'm ever so sick of Big Trans and the damage being done to the young. If only we could put the vice grips on every politician and every medical/mental health doc, along with the supporting corporations.
Oh my, I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble reading the text. I don't believe I'm using a different font color than I have used in any of my other posts, but I will certainly check. Thank you for raising this!
You know, it could be the background. I see some other Subs I get also are harder to read and have the same background. Yet if it's a bright white background (like Coffee & Covid), it's very easy to read.
I’m sorry but Mr. Shellenberger is a complete charlatan. Morally bankrupt water carrying tool for the fossil fuel entities and anyone else who pays him to spew their bovine fecal matter.

Thank you for standing up to the "reality vacuum"——and filling it with reality.

"We all deserve to be accepted for who we are now, not for who others think we should be."
All is said.
Beautifully said.
"Last year, I wrote an article on Medium expressing my concerns."
Did you repost the article here on your Substack?
I'd like to read it.
Thanks...
Here it is!

I finally found "Sitemap" at the bottom of the main page that shows the archives, year by year. I need to work my way through the whole.
I first tried scrolling to find the older pages and kept overloading my browser. HA!
So disheartening to see backtracking on progress...

Monica, is it my imagination or are you using a light gray font? My old eyes strain a bit to read your fine writing.

Your character reference skills are week.
