fwiw: transition works. Iโ€™m a woman, everyone I meet knows Iโ€™m a woman, everyone I love treats me as a woman. my bodyโ€™s changed and is a womanโ€™s body. I simply am one, and propaganda-influenced public opinion may make it harder to live that reality, but the reality wonโ€™t change.

Thereโ€™s only so much โ€œelevated and sophisticated discussionโ€œ one can have before the cracks start showing
I think 404 Media comes closest, but even they acknowledge the limitations in their reportingโ€”true journalism costs real money

And to be clear, I enjoy some of the Gawker/Vice Byline Extended Universe but nobody has any new fucking ideas

Hey isnโ€™t it crazy how you posted this and now your dumbass rag is now openly advocating for the social murder of trans people?
You credulously swallowed the boot on fabricated moral panics. I guess thereโ€˜s good money in it.

Maybe Iโ€™ll get this short story finished this week, then I can get to my egg novella, and then, finally, back to the novel i started four months ago

i read that ai blog post and i think the danger of AI is that rambling, aimless essays might be brushed off as ai-generated content instead of genuinely poor writing

Distinction without difference, homie. So youโ€™re still okay with it, even when someone directly affected says it should stop?

โ€Just a little social murder, youโ€˜ll be fineโ€
Thatโ€™s what you sound like. Thatโ€™s all any of you can offer up. Tell me why thatโ€™s acceptable.

I know that I personally will get hot under the collar because im into it, but itโ€™s a perfectly neutral thing outside of that!
Itโ€™s cosplay! People love to confuse their preferences with ideology

I watch The Pitt because it delivers what I crave from medical dramas: men with huge forearms wearing long-cuff surgical gloves

Iโ€™m an author, reader, and pervert. I will do my best to keep things borderline-SFW.
That means the occasional latex repost, and you learning just a little more about what Iโ€™m into
