Ngl, it doesn't feel awesome that so much discourse about policies designed specifically to hurt trans people is about the negative effects it might have on some cis people.
Not cos it's not bad that it will have broader incidental effects but because it should be enough that it will hurt us.

Because he doesn't love his country. He loves whiteness. He just happens to see those things as synonymous, and is willing to support other regimes he perceives as having the same priorities.

It's just really hard to explain to offline people what an odd fucking time we're in. It's just, you know, it's a really strange period of history to exist during.

“How well do blockers help us converse trans kids into cis kids” is the metric and its failed if the kid remains trans after the blockers

Only other thing i’ll say is that they’re obviously conducting the trial to see how well blockers stop kids being trans instead of actually help them, that is the metric they’re doing it by like all trans state healthcare always has

Donald Trump will noch möglichst viel Durchdrücken, bevor seine Verhandlungsgegenüber endgültig entscheiden, ihn auszusitzen. Dem wird er mit immer radikaleren, kurzfristigeren Maßnahmen entgegenwirken, um noch gehört zu werden.
Aber es ist klar:
Donald Trump is a lame duck.

See, every now and then you get Trump doing something like this and you kind of understand him as a showman and he's genuinely quite funny and engaging. There's a better timeline out there in the multiverse where he just carried on being an asshole TV guy.

a screenshot of the Australian version of Taste Christmas, a recipe magazine, showing a recipe for a gingerbread house made of something known as "crack", which I think is some kind of mixture of chocolate and salty ingredients like crackers or pretzels. so they've called it "festive crack house"

Just saw an advert that involved a little girl's first day at school, and every time she encouters something unexpected, she asks the air for assistance. Everyone looks at her weirdly. Then she gets picked up in a car to go home, and it turns out she was asking the in-car assistant for stuff...

I don't gatekeep transness. If you say you're trans, you're trans. Whatever your gender(s) is (are), there you go. You know you best. It doesn't matter to me if you medically transition or not. Some people will need to, and some people won't, and some people will want to, and some people won't.

One of the many bizarre aspects of the last few years of the UK's trans panic has been the apparent inability of anyone making decisions to remember that there are already laws in place that address the existence of and provision for gender reassignment.

Mentioned this before, but, last time I was at the dentist, they analysed my teeth with AI. It found an incipient cavity that the human dentist had not spotted.
Very clever.
Except that the cavity it found was just outside my actual head. Arguably, the entire universe is a cavity outside my head.

You don’t want to fear false rape allegations?
Cool. Start making a world in which rape allegations are unlikely to be true.
But you won’t, because most men, deep down, see themselves as having more in common with men who maybe just… didn’t listen to a no than with the woman who said it.
