A couple years ago, shortly after I'd had gender affirming surgery, I made an account on Susan's Place, and introduced myself.
One of Susan's admins silently edited my post to change the type of surgery I had to a very different one, then banned me for complaining.
Susan Larson, the owner of the site, got involved in the dispute. Apparently, she had instituted a secret ban on discussion of certain nonconforming gender affirming surgeries, but knowingly leaves up old posts stating those same surgeries are impossible.
I just came across a post from her calling herself an authoritative source and stating "non-binary people are trans".
Some, but not all nonbinary people identify as transgender.
To be clear, Susan Larson just now called my surgery a "fetish that reflects poorly on the community".
There is a term for this sort of thinking - "respectability politics".
This has been studied. It turns out it doesn't help with bigotry.
@ryanc @Susan_Larson_TN "transsexualism" is also seen as a fetish and blocked in those software suites for the same reason, it's honestly utterly disgusting that she'd make that claim without even a hint of self-reflection or irony
@ryanc @Susan_Larson_TN This was a response to the thread but apparently that was deleted, so imma post it here instead
@alexandria @Susan_Larson_TN I have screenshots.
