The Tories admitted to parachuting people into institutional positions of power in order to work as insider ‘agents’ pushing political/ ideological agenda.

They did it to attack trans people.

What makes you think they weren’t also pushing other agendas???

They should have Werner Herzog voice Yoshi in the next Mario movie, even if he only ever says “yoshi”

Each new law against trans people in society will just become the platform for the next law restricting someone else. Possibly you. Dont fall for it.

What bothers me is that impartiality and balance are two different and incompatible things. Impartiality means that you don't intervene to put your thumb on the scales. Balance necessarily requires that you intervene to artificially make every issue look like a 50/50.

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!

My favourite was seeing the word "upgefuckt" once.

The RW obsession with "compelled speech" is as baffling as it is disingenuous. Our speech is compelled each and every day by myriad^2 factors. They're just SO mad they (and no one else) can't call everyone they don't like a fucking slur at all hours of the day until they go blue in the face.

I swear, libertarianism really is “You’re not my dad, you can’t tell me what to do!” as a political ideology.

Notable that FIRE (@thefireorg.bsky.social) filed an amicus in support of bullying trans youth. This is why trans people don't trust your transphobic organization, @aricohn.com.

My kids have measles and my SNAP benefits were cut. But at least those cashiers at Walmart aren’t writing “they/them” on their name tags anymore.

That’s just what deep diving into transphobia does to you.

Her case of tranny madness is actually pretty mild, all things considered.

The worst cases of it result in middle aged women becoming absolutely convinced that nearly every single person around them is secretly trans.

So like, do the people against "gender ideology" even recognize the concept of an egg?

Because they seem to conflate transness as a state of being with the act of transitioning, so I don't know how there can be space in their worldview for people who are trans but don't know it.

A sketch of two steam trains, human faces on the front. The title above them says 'The Broad Gauge and the Narrow Gauge'. The narrow gauge train is looking unbearably smug, then broad gauge absolutely raging. In the smoke, they are communicating, the broad gauge saying "You are a locomotive" and the narrow saying "You are another".

It's over: I've already depicted you as the seething broad gauge train, and myself as the smug narrow gauge!

Are there any sex acts that are safe, consensual and insane?

I see people respond to stuff like this with 'so you put your community's rights above all others???' type attempts to rebut and, uh, yea. Like, yea, that's not even a question? The safety of my community is issue one, if you're sacrificing that we are not together.

Simultaneously also the tall henchman/short henchman dynamic.

It's really depressing to see that even the reputation of journalism is being ruined. By the journalists themselves.

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it.

So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

I'd have figured it was more Jekyll and Hyde style.

I am frequently saying this

lesbian thought of the day: plane tickets should be free if you really want to make out with a woman who lives on the other side of the world

Maybe pundits should spend more time in densely packed, left leaning urban areas where the "real Americans" live

They get upset at the mere sight of us, then they get offended when we call their aversion a phobia.

Young men vote like old women, at least as far as those results go.

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

I also wonder if the fact that puberty blockers prevent so many invasive and expensive procedures and medicines in the future has anything to do with why puberty blockers are banned for trans kids, so they can be sold the then to be necessary expensive treatments when they are trans adults?
