Arguing with Transphobes:

Articles, scientific research, TikTok videos, instagram posts etc. explaining and debunking basic shit to transphobic people. **Plz link things that will encourage people to think deeper and change their mind, not shame them or turn them off from the cause.

Debunking Wash U “Whistleblower” by Erin Reed

Gender is not biology explainer (his whole Tik Tok playlist titled “Trans identity” that this video is in is great - this creator might be too abrasive for sending directly to transphobes, but is great at helping allies buff our understanding for communicating with transphobes)

“You cannot misgender me” (acknowledging this may not be every nb person’s experience, but I do think it’s a helpful perspective for allies/folks we’re trying to move along to hear)

This page has many references and credible sources citing the existence of a broader gender identity existing in human cultures as early as mesopotamia. So if you want to pull out some ancient human history to back up how natural being trans is, here ya go! Here’s a fun lil tiktok that covers some of it as well, including the first hormone intervention therapy!!
