Jackie: Freedom, freedom, fucking freedom. Which matters more, the freedom to live an authentic life, or the freedom to crush degenerates under the heel of a jackboot? As a centrist I am undecided, but the important thing is we are talking about it.
Hi, I'm Jackie Jackson, host of the Freedom Report. The political talk show where we discuss important issues, like Mexicans: how dangerous are they? Muslims: can we stop them? Tonight we return once again to the dangerous transgender trend that is turning your children into all manner of half-and-halfs and in-betweens. I mean look at this, they're transing 13 year olds now, what's next? Babies with breast implants? It makes me wanna throw up. I live in constant fear. And fear is what freedom is all about. Cut the music! Tonight my first guest is Tiffany Tumbles, transgender makeup vlogger and conservative opinion-haver. And my second guest, well what the hell are you? You're transgender, you're a man, you're a woman, you're an attack helicopter, what's your deal?
Baltimore: Well, Jackie Jackson, my, as you say, deal is I don't like society forcing me into tiny little boxes.
Jackie: Okay, but are you a man or a woman, just tell me.
Baltimore: Well, why does it matter? Why do you have to know? Maybe you should examine why it is you feel the need to fit everyone you meet into these little categories, Jackie Jackson.
Jackie: Well, can I at least ask your name or is that now considered cisgender imperialism?
Baltimore: My name is Baltimore.
Jackie: Baltimore what?
Baltimore: Baltimore, Maryland.
Jackie: I'm sorry, your name is Baltimore, Maryland?
Baltimore: It is among my names.
Jackie: Tiffany, what do you make of this?
Tiffany: Look Jackie, I'm gonna be completely real with you. I am a transsexual. That means I have a very specific mental disorder called gender dysphoria. I was born a boy, but I have a female brain because of a hormone imbalance in the womb. This is a real psychiatric disorder, that is verified by science, and requires hormones and surgery for treatment, or else I literally cannot function. It is not a fashion statement, it is not a trend, it is not an easy way to feel special and oppressed; it is a very difficult condition to live with. I'm dying inside. 😔
Jackie: Okay. So, you're both transsexuals then.
Tiffany: No. I am a transsexual. That is not a transsexual. That is a transtrender.
Jackie: Transtrender? What is that, is that a gender?
Tiffany: No, it's not a gender. A transtrender is a person like Baltimore over here, who puts on a dress, and puts glitter in his beard, and goes around telling people he's transgender, and complaining about "misgendering" for oppression points.
Baltimore: Actually, it's "they".
Jackie: What?
Baltimore: I use they/them pronouns.
Tiffany: "They" go around collecting oppression points, as you can see.
Baltimore: Why do you say that, Tiffany Tumbles? Have I complained about oppression so far? It seems to me that it's you who have been complaining about your dysphoria. Isn't it you who's collecting oppression points, Tiffany Tumbles?
Tiffany: No I'm not, I'm not saying I'm oppressed. I'm saying I have dysphoria, which is not society's fault, it's in my brain, I was diagnosed. It's a fact. It's real. My pain is real.
Baltimore: And my pain isn't real? It's interesting that you think that.
Tiffany: Well what pain are you talking about, people making fun of you because you dress like a circus act?
Baltimore: Interesting that you mention the circus, Tiffany Tumbles. Don't you think we should examine why society confines gender variant people to the circus?
Tiffany: You're not confined anywhere, you choose to dress like that.
Baltimore: And why do you choose to dress the way you dress?
Tiffany: Because I'm a woman, so I'm dressed like a woman. Hello.
Baltimore: And I'm non-binary, so I dress non-conforming. Why should I conceal who I am just to appease small-minded people?
Tiffany: Well it's a free country, if you wanna be a glitterbeard genderfuck then go ahead. But don't go around telling people that you're transgender, because it makes us look like a bunch of trendy freaks.
Baltimore: But aren't we all freaks in the eyes of society? Do you think you can purchase acceptance through conformity? Because that is not freedom, Tiffany Tumbles. That is simply adding another cell to the prison.
Tiffany: It's not about conforming, it's about me having an actual medical condition. You do not have a female brain, you have a fashion disaster.
Baltimore: Oh do they? Well tell me Tiffany Tumbles, when the doctor prescribed your hormones did he take a look at your brain then?
Tiffany: What? Of course not.
Baltimore: But you have seen a scan of your brain, yes?
Tiffany: Well, no. Where are you going with this?
Baltimore: I mean, if you've never seen your brain and the doctor who diagnosed your gender dysphoria didn't look at it then, tell me Tiffany Tumbles how do you know that you have a female brain?
Jackie: Well shit. That's a good point.
Tiffany: No it isn't! Look, there's scientific studies–
Baltimore: Can you explain to me the difference between a male brain and a female brain? Are they different colors?
Tiffany: I'm not an expert. But there's science showing that men and women have brain differences.
Baltimore: I see. But your doctor never looked at your brain. So how did he know you have gender dysphoria?
Tiffany: Well, he asked me questions and I told him about it.
Baltimore: And you told him what exactly?
Tiffany: That I experience gender dysphoria.
Baltimore: So would you agree then that your gender dysphoria and therefore your identity is valid not because of any observed facts about your brain, but because of your… fffffeelings?
Tiffany: Well, congratulations Attorney Frank-N-Furter, you backed me into a corner! Sure, it's because of my feelings. My feelings of gender dysphoria.
Baltimore: So tell me, Tiffany Tumbles, why is it that your feelings about your gender are valid but mine, according to you, are not?
Tiffany [VO]: This burgeoning brick.
Jackie: You guys, let's think about this. If I've never seen my brain…then how do I know I even have a brain?
Tiffany: Well you probably don't, girl. Look, Baltimore, I'm sure you have lots of feelings about your gender, and if you feel cloudgender, or demi-nebula, or astroglide, or whatever Tumblr bullshit passes through your mind, then you do you girl... Or not girl, whatever the fuck you are. But I want to make one thing very clear. I am nothing like you, okay? My gender is not unicorns and glitter, my gender is a serious psychiatric diagnosis that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. No, not even you.
Baltimore: My, I'm really getting under your skin, aren't I?
Tiffany: No… Well actually, yes, to be honest you are. You're getting under my skin because it really rattles my dysphoria that you're sitting here claiming to represent the transgender community, when in fact you're just making a mockery of my pain.
Baltimore: Your pain. You're in a lot of pain aren't you, Tiffany Tumbles?
Tiffany: Well...
Baltimore: I can sense the vibrations of your pain across the room. And I pity you, Tiffany Tumbles. I pity you, because you don't think that you're real until a man in a lab-coat signs a prescription pad. And I can't imagine what it must be like to have so little confidence in your own reality.
Tiffany: Okay. Well, don't patronize me.
Baltimore: I'm just trying to understand, Tiffany Tumbles, why you think being transgender is all about hating yourself and hating your body. Why can't trans identity be joyful and celebratory?
Tiffany: No, you don't have to hate yourself or hate your body. But you do have to have dysphoria. And if you tell people otherwise, you're just misleading them.
Baltimore: I want to heal the rift inside your heart Tiffany Tumbles. Would you please join me in saying a prayer for your wellness?
Tiffany: Actually, I would strongly prefer that you stay away from any of my rifts.
Baltimore: O Goddess of Light, please shield and protect Tiffany against the ravages of inner strife.
Tiffany: Oh Jesus.
Baltimore: Enclose her in your loving arms, and cleanse her of all condemnation–
Jackie: What the fuck?
Baltimore: And internalized transphobia. I entreat you O Great Mother, bathe Tiffany in inner peace, acceptance, and self-care, and rid her of her toxic cisnormative truscum ways. Amen.
Tiffany: Are we done here? I don't think I can make it through any more readings from the SJW prayerbook.
Baltimore: Tiffany, why are you rejecting the love I am trying to deliver unto you?
Tiffany: Because I'm grossed out by you. That's why.
Baltimore: Okay then. Well, namaste bitch!
Jackie: Look, why don't we all take a step back and take a moment just to honor our heroes in uniform and let them know how much we appreciate their service. God, I love the troops! Thinking about the troops makes me wet, it makes me come. Semper fi boys! 🇺🇸
Tiffany: What?
Jackie: I think I'm starting to wrap my head around this. Tiffany, your transsexualism, I have to say I don't love it, but you do seem to at least be aware that you have some kind of mental disorder so I'll give you that. Whereas, Baltimore you're what, making some kind of statement?
Baltimore: If my existence is a statement, I think that says more about society than it says about me.
Tiffany: Jackie what you have to understand is there have been transsexuals around for a long time. I've talked to 80-year-old transsexuals and they agree with me, that all this genderqueer bullshit is just a trend. It's a fad.
Baltimore: But is it? For thousands of years there have been third-gender groups across human cultures. There's the Hijra of India, the two-spirit people among native Americans. Whereas, binary transsexualism is a medical construct of the 20th century. Gender dysphoria wasn't even a recognized mental condition until 2013, meaning that Tumblr is twice as old as the first gender dysphoria diagnosis. So perhaps it is you, Tiffany Tumbles, and not I who is following a trend.
Jackie: Woah, that just blew my mind. The tables are turned bitch! Tiffany could you explain to me why you decided to become a transtrender?
Tiffany: 🤬 He's not Native American though!
Baltimore: They.
Tiffany: They! You know it's kind of hard not to call you "he" when you have a f*cking beard. If you were actually trans and you actually had dysphoria, then you wouldn't be comfortable with that.
Baltimore: Your honor, in my defense, it is a glitter beard.
Tiffany: Okay well that's very 2019, very gender, very they. But what it isn't, is two-spirit. Look, the SJWs don't even agree with this, they think it's racist. White people have two genders. Pick one and sit down, dude.
Jackie: Yeah that's a good point. Two genders, two genders. Attack helicopter. It's ma'am.
Baltimore: Okay, well now you're just berating me.
Tiffany: My name is Baltimore, I think there's 76 genders because I don't think you need dysphoria to be trans.
Jackie: Two genders.
Baltimore: Okay you're just saying that you're me and talking in a whiny voice. That is not an argument.
Tiffany: Waaahh, the toxic truscum bullies are gate-keeping my gender. I don't have dysphoria–
Baltimore: You know kids, the one thing you'll always have to deal with in life is assholes. It's hard to be yourself. But, it's worth it. Let's be ourselves. Let's totally be ourselves.
Jackie: Alright, that's enough of this. You know, as a biological female I honestly don't understand any of this tr***y shit.
Tiffany: Okay. That was a hard T.
Jackie: Now does my husband sometimes wear panties around the house and ask me to call him mommy's little slut? Well sure, but that is a matter between her and the Lord. It's best not to think about it too much. Anyway uh… Tiffany my brain has an easier time processing you than whatever's going over here, so congratulations you're the winner. That was some excellent free speech.
Tiffany: Okay. Great.
Jackie: So in conclusion, transtrenders are real and probably dangerous. Make sure to protect your children. As for how many genders there are, you know, I'm gonna take the centrist route and say two and a half. Alright that's our show, this has been the Freedom Report, where the debate never stops. Except when the show's over. Get out.
Baltimore: The girl can't help it, she's a Libra.

Digital Goddess: Behold the non-binary lamb, who was despised and rejected. They gave their cheek to them that mocked their beard, and hid not their face from shame. But lo, Tiffany, the persecutrix, trannier than thou, a shady queen, came next upon her friend Justine, and sought her counsel thus.
🖥▶️
Tiffany: Goddamn it Justine, I just can't with these trenders anymore. I simply cannot.
Justine: You know you can just text me "here" and I'll come open the door.
Tiffany: Okay. Seems a little formal. You look great hon.
Justine: Cute.
Tiffany: Justine, you look like absolute shit. What happened? Did the catgirl finally beat you up?
Justine: No I just—look I slept in my makeup okay? Leave me alone, I've been having a difficult time.
Tiffany: Oh are we serving a little depression moment? Jesus, well don't leave me out.
Justine: I saw you on the Freedom Report today.
Tiffany: Okay girl, can we talk about ladybeard Baltimore Maryland? Add that one to the crazy tr***y hall of fame.
Justine: Really? You're happy with the way that went? You feel good about that? You feel good about yourself right now?
Tiffany: Well why wouldn't I?
Justine: Tiffany there is nothing more sad, and pathetic, and desperate, and low in this world than a tran who thinks she's better than other trans. It's like a drunk feeling superior to a junkie. You seem to think that you're queen of the world because you're hanging onto societal acceptance by two fingers instead of one. Well you're not, bitch. You're just an insecure, frightened little queer who's determined to use the one ounce of power you have to tread other people down. And if I'm being honest, I don't find that very admirable.
Tiffany: Your eyelash is coming unglued.
Justine: My life is coming unglued.
Tiffany: Look it's not like I'm coming after trannies who just can't afford to transition or don't have the social support. It's not like Baltimore is doing everything he can to pass and people just treat him like a freak for no reason.
Justine: They. It's they.
Tiffany: Are we really saying "they" now, in private?
Justine: Yes, we are. So get used to it.
Tiffany: My name is Justine, I think misgendering is toxic because I care about people's feelings. I always forget that you're like, actually an SJW.
Justine: I always forget that you're actually an asshole. Why do I even hang out with you?
Tiffany: Oh because you hate yourself? And you have to believe there's hope for me because if there's hope for me there might be hope for you?
Justine: Wow you're developing self-consciousness, where'd you learn that trick?
Tiffany: Gigi?
Justine: Tiffany, have you ever been bullied?
Tiffany: Oh let's see, let me think. Only K through 12, nine hours a day. But you don't see me going on talk shows to play the victim.
Justine: No I see you going on talk shows to play the bully. I think you grew up getting bullied for being a sissy till you started passing as a woman, and then you got a little taste of normal, and now you wanna be the one who bashes the queers.
Tiffany: Bash them? If anything I'm the one defending trans people from appropriation and misrepresentation by these trenders.
Justine: You said on air that Baltimore grosses you out. Do you really expect me to believe that your motivations here have nothing to do with your own self-loathing?
Tiffany: How could it be self-loathing when Baltimore is nothing like me?
Justine: Okay. Then it's just bigotry, that's even worse.
Tiffany: Oh, it's not bigotry. Look I shouldn't have said grossed out, I'll give you that. But he does… they do make uncomfortable.
Justine: And why do you think that is?
Tiffany: I get second-hand dysphoria looking at someone so... burgeoning. Ugh. Makes me wanna down a bottle of hormones, make sure I never look like that.
Justine: Bitch second-hand dysphoria, what is that?
Tiffany: You know when you look at a tr***y and you just clock everything and you feel like, sympathetic vibrations of dysphoria?
Justine: Yeah I do know what you're talking about, and I'll tell you why it happens. When you're early in your transition, and you're doing everything you can to pass, you develop a really sophisticated eye for every little thing that makes you clockable. Then, you turn that sophisticated eye onto other trans people, and you project your dysphoria onto them.
Tiffany: I buy that.
Justine: Yeah. Well, that is absolutely not a valid reason to police other trans people's presentation. Second-hand dysphoria is not valid. The fact that you project your dysphoria onto other people is your problem and your problem alone. And you need to deal with that issue in private girl, not on a fucking talk show.
Tiffany: Yeah, you're probably right about that. But it still doesn't make Baltimore Maryland any more valid.
Justine: Tiffany, let's be pragmatic about this. Suppose everything you're saying is true. Suppose the only real trans people are dysphoric binary transgender people.
Tiffany: Transsexuals.
Justine: Every time you say the word transsexual I feel like it's 1978. Are you 80 years old?
Tiffany: I guess you could say I'm not the trendiest person.
Justine: Ha ha. Look suppose you're right, and everyone who doesn't meet your definition of a transsexual is some kind of confused trend-follower. Even if that were true, and to be clear, it isn't, what you're doing harms even the trans people you think are valid; because virtually every trans person goes through a period of being confused about their gender, and of having non-conforming expression, and you're going around enforcing a stigma against that. Didn't you ever have doubts about your gender? Weren't you ever androgynous?
Tiffany: Oh yeah, I mean I was never that burgeoning, but I had my little cringe year of being a non-binary SJW.
Justine: Uh-huh. And one of the great things about non-binary identities is they give trans people the conceptual space to exist even when neither gender really fits them, whether that's for their entire life or just for a couple months. Hasn't it occurred to you that being shamed and berated for being a trender during your exploration year might not have been the most helpful thing?
Tiffany: Not really. I have dysphoria so if anyone called me a trender, I'd eventually prove them wrong. That's all I'm saying. If you're not a trender then transition, prove me wrong.
Justine: But stigma you perpetuate against gender confusion and experimentation keeps trans people in the closet and delays transition. It alienates baby trans from the community that should be welcoming them instead of publicly humiliating them. And when you appoint yourself the public decider of whomst is really trans, the Torquemada of the trender inquisition, you're terrorizing a lot of people who are genuinely trying to figure themselves out.
Tiffany: Okay, but then how do we decide which tr***nies are valid?
Justine: We don't.
Tiffany: Then this is where I'm losing you. Because transtrenders are absolutely a thing, like undeniably. I've talked to people who've literally told me they used to be transtrenders.
Justine: So, some people question their gender but end up deciding they're not really trans. There's nothing wrong with that, and those people still aren't being helped by public shaming.
Tiffany: Well maybe they wouldn't be confused in the first place if SJWs weren't going around telling people they don't need dysphoria to be trans. You know it's one thing if teenage girls want to dye their hair pink and call themselves demi-boys for most of sophomore year. But some of these kids are actually going to medically transition, and soon we're gonna have an epidemic of detransitioners on our hands, and there's gonna be TERFs publishing "I told you so" op-eds in every major newspaper. Now maybe you think that's all worth it just to make sure no one ever feels invalidated for any reason, but I think that's highly irresponsible.
Justine: Look if you're so worried about people feeling pressured to medically transition, then what you should be doing is working to make the trans community as inclusive and welcoming as possible to gender non-conforming people, and non-binary people, and people who are questioning, and trans people who don't medically transition. But instead, you're doing the exact opposite. You're telling everyone that medical transition is the only way to be valid. And if anything is pressuring people to medically transition, it's that.
Tiffany: Justine I think you're a good person, maybe too good, and that's why you're trying to have compassion for everyone. But at some point you have to protect yourself. We live in a world of Jackie Jacksons who don't understand trans people and don't think we're real. So we need to have an explanation of what it is to be trans that is based on facts and not feelings. And the most factual explanation is transmedicalism, which is the idea that transsexualism is a diagnosable mental disorder called gender dysphoria. There's science to back this up, it's accepted by medical professionals, and it clearly explains why we are valid unlike Rachel Dolezal, and snowflake-gender teenagers, and people who identify as cats.
Justine: Okay, I see the appeal. But I don't think transmedicalism is as validating as you think it is.
Tiffany: Why not?
Justine: I'll put it bluntly. Why does having gender dysphoria make you a woman?
Tiffany: Because gender dysphoria means I have a female brain.
Justine: No it doesn't. I'm sorry to tell you but the science does not say what you think it says. There may be neurological causes of gender dysphoria, but at the end of the day all dysphoria is discomfort in a male body, or a male social role, or however you want to put it. And wanting to be a woman is not the same thing as being a woman, not by any means.
Tiffany: Girl where are you going with this? What is this, are you becoming a TERF?
Justine: No I just don't think your theory actually validates our womanhood.
Tiffany: Well if you're right, that's a real problem. Because we need to have reason, and science, and logic, and facts on our side so that we can explain to society that we're valid, and that we're real, otherwise… bad things!
Justine: Maybe there's a better theory.
Tiffany: Well okay Socrates let's hear it then.
Justine: The way I see it, gender is either psychological, or biological, or social. Now my friend Tabby, the catgirl, she thinks it's all psychological, that it's just identity, that whatever you think about your gender is true. And that makes me really uncomfortable, because then what's the difference between identifying as a woman and identifying as a Norwegian Forest Cat? It's a difference that Tabby herself seems not to have much of a grip on.
Tiffany: Girl, that's literally what I've been trying to tell you about transtrenders this entire time.
Justine: Just lemme finish. If gender is strictly biological, then that's game over for trans people. Unless you make some kind of wrong-brain-in-the-wrong-body argument, but I told you I'm not buying that. So that leaves gender as a social construct.
Tiffany: Are you gonna try to make me read Judith Butler again?
Justine: I'll summarize it. Gender is a series of gestures. It's called performativity. It's the way you dress, it's the way you speak, it's the way you act, it's the way you relate to other people. Through transitioning we habituate to the gestures of womanhood, and socially that makes us women, regardless of biology or psychology. Checkmate transphobes.
Tiffany: Okay, the problem with that is it's both too exclusionary and too inclusive. It excludes a lot of trans people who can't transition for circumstantial reasons but whose dysphoria is very real. And it includes every transtrender, drag queen, fetishist, and two-bit cross dressing comedian in a Dynel wig.
Justine: Uh, well…
Tiffany: Do you really believe that a man who plays a woman onstage becomes just as much of a woman as you and me?
Justine: …Yes?
Tiffany: Bitch, no you don't.
Justine: Yeah, you're right. I'm full of shit.
Tiffany: I know you are, because you're an SJW. And SJWs hate the performativity theory almost as much as they hate me.
Justine: Well they only hate it because they don't understand it. They think it invalidates non-binary identities but in fact it's the most rational way to explain non-binary identities.
Tiffany: How can you perform a non-binary identity?
Justine: Simple. You learn the rules so you can break them. Wearing a beard and a dress communicates ambiguity. Even the gesture of declaring "I am neither a man or a woman", is a speech act that removes the speaker from the semantics of–
Tiffany: Girl shut up. This is too much philosophizing, I can't stand it anymore. Why don't you tell me what's really going on with you. Why do you look like you've been in a k-hole for a week? Why are are you suddenly so obsessed with white-knighting for non-binary people?
Justine: Because…I am non-binary.
Tiffany: No you're not. What are you talking about?
Justine: I just feel like since I started transitioning I've been trying so hard to fit in, and to perform my gender, and to pass, and to just be normal. But I can't do it anymore. I just cannot make it work. I feel like an actor, I feel like a zombie, like I'm just going through the motions of this new gender role that's supposed to liberate me but that's somehow just as empty as the old one. Because I'm just not normal, Tiffany! I'm a freak, and I'm always gonna be a freak.
Tiffany: Justine…You're not non-binary, you're gay. And everyone can see this except you.
Justine: Oh come on. I'm not gay. [freeze frame]
Digital Goddess: Justine was extremely gay. Protest though the lady may, there simply is no stopping gayness. 🏳️🌈
Justine: I love catgirls! I hate catgirls, but I also love them!
Digital Goddess: O, abominable fate.
Justine: Okay. So I'm a little bit gay.
Tiffany: Right, and you don't know how to reconcile your attraction to women with your desire to perform your gender. That's why you feel this dissonance.
Justine: Yeah, I guess that's basically it.
Tiffany: Well it really shouldn't be that hard girl. You already came out as a woman, just blurt it out. Say: "Hello world, my name is Justine and I fuck pussy".
Justine: That's a very cisnormative way to–
Tiffany: Say it!
Justine: Hello world, my name is Justine and I fuck pussy? Ugh, I feel like a man when I say it.
Tiffany: Yeah, well you should probably buy a pickup truck then. Get some of those mudflaps on the back with the little sexy ladies on them. And you may as well change your name back to Justin.
Justine: Okay. Well, that's just uncalled for.
Tiffany: Girl I don't know what to say except I told you so. Sexuality is just like gender identity. It is not a performance, it's not a trend, it's not a choice. It's just part of who you are, and there's nothing you can do to change it.
Justine: I guess you're right. I guess my theory sucks.
Tiffany: It sucks so fucking hard. But the good news is you can unclench your asshole now and do whatever you want because you're still a woman whether you're performing a stereotype or not. So run free Justine. Go top a cis woman. Bang a gay guy. Wear some oversized flannel. Do whatever you want.
Justine: Wow, yeah I guess… I guess that is pretty liberating.
Tiffany: Yeah, thank God for transmedicalism right? Oh, except not because you just destroyed transmedicalism with facts and logic so we have no theory. We have no theory, Justine. What do we do now? How do we prove we're valid?
Justine: Well… Just do what every trans woman has done since the beginning of time. Go out and fuck the most brutally heterosexual man you can find, and be validated in cum.
Tiffany: Oh, honey I have and I will. But that's not gonna convince anyone but me. It's not a proof, it's not a theory.
Justine: Well, maybe we don't need a theory. Maybe we don't need to prove anything.
Tiffany: Bad things Justine! Bad things!
Justine: Well, do we have a theory about why people are gay? No. They just are. The only reason we even feel like we need a theory about trans people is that society is so unaccepting of us that it's constantly demanding we justify our own reality.
Tiffany: Okay, so what am I supposed to tell Jackie Jackson then? What am I supposed to tell the TERFs? That I'm a woman because reasons?
Justine: No, not even because reasons. Just because you are.
Tiffany: So, it's what, a leap of faith? Oh great. I'm sure that's gonna convince all the rational skeptics. Justine, it makes us sound completely delusional.
Justine: Well Tiffany, delusion is what separates us from the animals. Who do you think built the pyramids and the cathedrals? Clearly not people with a perfectly rational worldview. But why do you care anyway? Aren't you the one who thinks being trans is a mental disorder?
Tiffany: Well, I wouldn't describe it as the height of sanity. But I would prefer to think that my whole life and identity is based on something I can rationally explain.
Justine: Well, what are we Tiffany, men? Isn't the single most obnoxious thing about men, that they think they have to wrap up the entire world in a little rational box? Maybe the most important things in life can't be logically proved. Can you logically prove that you love your own children? No. And the attempt to prove it is as degrading as it is futile. Maybe gender identity is one of those things.
Tiffany: Okay, but then how do I prove I'm more valid than Baltimore Maryland, and the stargenders, and the catpeople?
Justine: Well, maybe we should stop getting so caught up in proving our validity to ourselves that we end up being horribly cruel to other people. What if we just accept all the freaks of the world? At the end of the day maybe it's just not as important to have logical proofs as it is to be empathetic, and open-minded, and compassionate.

Justine: I have something to tell you.
Tiffany: Here it comes.
Justine: I love you.
Tiffany: Okay, well I'm gonna get going now. I have an important date tonight drinking vodka cranberries and reading YouTube comments by myself, so I'd really better go do that. But, uh… good luck with your new life as a male lesbian who fucks cats. Oh, are you upset?
Justine: Just go.
Tiffany: I'm sorry.
Justine: I hate this bitch. But God, she's a yum yum.
