4 frame comic. characters are saying : November 13th marks the beginning of Trans Awareness Week. at least one in ten humans are trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming. Most of them on the planet don't have the privilege of safely transitioning or expressing themselves authentically. Making spaces explicitly inclusive of gender diversity can be the difference between life and death.

November 13th-19th is Trans Awareness Week.

4 frame comics, where we see scenes from the 1936 olympic games in Berlin : the Berlin stadium, 5 women holding hula hoops in the shape of the olympics logo, athletes doing an obstacle course. the last frame is the 2028 Los Angeles olympic logo. the text reads : the olympics have seen various forms of gender policing since the games of 1936 in nazi germany. it was introduced as a way to enforce the gender binary by disqualifying people with inter- sex characteristics or atypical gender expression. naked parades in front of a jury, gynecological inspections, chromosomal testing, certifica- tions that only richer countries could issue... these were all attempts at gender policing by the olympic committee between 1936 and 1996. one after the other, these practices were outlawed. they were all found to be flawed, misleading, humiliating, discrimi- natory, racist, misogynistic. since 2003, strict guidelines have allowed intersex and trans women to participate. despite 20 years of inclusion, there has only been one trans woman who competed, not winning any medal. yet, we just learned that the I.o.C. was looking into bringing back gender policing to ban intersex & trans athletes, in time for the nazi germany olympics of 2028. oops, I mean united states.

What a coincidence!

4 frame comic. a street reporter approaches a man wearing a big hoodie, asking : sir! how much do you think we should hold feminism accountable for the male loneliness epidemic? he replies : there is no meaningful difference between the rates of loneliness between men and women*. the reason we're always talking about men's is that they're making it everyone else's problem. A note under the frame adds : *in fact, several studies (graham & ong, 2024; cigna & morning consult, 2021) suggest that more women experience loneliness than men. In the 3rd frame, he says : according to research*, the primary reason that men isolate themselves is because they feel incapable of living up to rigid gendered expectations. the far-right exploits that vulnerability to radicalize young men. another note under the frame adds a source : *the state of american men 2025, equimundo: center for masculinities and social justice. in the last frame, he makes a peace sign with his fingers and says : if anything, feminism is the solution to men's loneli- ness. let's deconstruct the gender norms that hurt every- one, before these techno- fascists divide us even more.

Accountability

Please enjoy this comic I cant post anywhere else lol

Just got done replaying DS1 after so long, the hype for DS4 is real especially since they reused that scene in the trailer, now time to replay DS2 <3

4 frame comic. a guy with a red cap asks Stephie : stop saying that fascism is a right- wing thing. what about stalin or mao? checkmate, leftist. she replies : authoritarianism isn't a synonym of fascism. fascism is ultra-nationalist, whereas communism, with or without the authoritarianism, is against any form of nationalism. fascism is a conservative ideology obsessed with national purity that teams up with big businesses to maintain itself in power. that's why it's considered far-right. but why do you care so much? do you think fascism would suddenly become acceptable to left-wingers if it had a leftist spin to it? sounds like something that someone who finds fascism acceptable would think.

Why is fascism right-wing?

6th Circuit Rules Cis Students May Bully Trans Students By Repeatedly Misgendering Them The Circuit also seemed to suggest that trans students could not misgender their bullies in return.

1. In a devastating decision for trans kids in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the 6th Circuit has ruled students can bully trans kids by repeatedly misgendering them.

Trans kids also are not allowed to return the favor to their bullies.

Dont think I posted my face here before but I am proud of my RD setup for haloween, used it the 25th for a haloween event in town and will use it tonight after work for the haloween gaming night me and friends do <3

4 frame comic. 1st is the silhouette of two podcaster. Text reads In a world where trans people's dignity, humanity, and existence are subject to debate, every trans suicide is a murder. 2 is a silhouette of a swimmer. Text reads In a world where trans people aren't allowed to participate in their community, every trans suicide is a murder. 3 shows Gavin Newsom. Text reads In a world where trans people are thrown under the bus because their rights aren't considered a "winning issue", every trans suicide is a murder. 4 shows Lia Smith. Text reads In a world where trans people have to fight every instant of their life simply to have the right to live in peace, every trans suicide is a murder.

Say it with me.

4 frame comic. a street journalist asks a woman and her daughter : ma'am! do you think girls' rights to play sports should prevent transgender biological males from competing with them? she replies : not only is it prejudicial to trans girls' rights and health, but every legislature that made it mandatory to prove that a girl wasn't trans in order to play a sport saw a dramatic de- cline in enrollment, because of the extra hurdle to get a doctor to sign the forms. trans girls have rights too, and they deserve dignity and inclusion. our societies are struggling to get kids moving. there's a loneliness epidemic. and people want to do what? restrict access to afterschool programs? give me a break. as we speak, girls' teams are forced to cancel their activities so that we can keep bullying trans kids. if people really cared about girls' sports, they'd be fighting against things like boys' teams systematically getting more money and resources, and dibs on playing field schedules. that's the real infringement on girls' rights.

Give me a break.

Love reading about how AI's need for energy is reverting the clean energy transition and using up massive amounts of clean water as coolant. I really hope everyone gets informed about this and the theft of art that is "necessary" for these companies to operate. Fuck AI and everyone defending it.

Definetly had that happen to me

4 frame comic. 1st frame shows Matt Walsh in front of a graph. he says : Transgenderism is effectively over. We destroyed it. Clearest and most decisive cultural win that conservatives have ever achieved. Sophie, the author, replies : that's kinda sad. the survey asked students from three specific colleges if they identified as neither male nor female. it didn't ask about trans people overall or non-students, and it conveniently didn't include colleges that showed the opposite. we see Jacob Eliason's graph. text reads : also, that graph is from raw data. when weighted, the data says that trends are unchanged compared to last year - it even suggests that there are more non-binary students. in the last frame, Sophie is holding a document. she says : oh, and what's this? a serious survey published last week shows that 55% of transgender and non-binary people have taken steps to become less visible after november 2024. how does bullying us back into the closet make you a hero? sources : mapresearch.org, jacobeliason.com, benryan.substack.com, erininthemorning.com

kinda sad

Be proud

On Monday, Pierre Poilievre shared his party’s petition to “end DEI” and “restore the merit principle.”

Just before that, another Conservative MP posted that “Canada must now place restrictions on birthright citizenship”

If it all sounds a bit Trump-y, that’s probably because…it is:

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

The living Israeli hostages have been released as part of a ceasefire deal that also saw about 2000 Palestinian prisoners freed.

Wait, but why are the Israelis “hostages” and the Palestinians “prisoners”?

In today’s video, that’s the question we’re exploring:

4 frame comics. One person says to another : violent radical transgender leftists are trying to overthrow the government! The other replies : you mean these violent radical transgender leftists? We see three people in frog costumes, one is holding a sign that reads Frogs Together Strong. The two guys say : i'm feeling so threatened right now. The president needs to invoke the insurrection act!

Violent radical transgender leftists

4 frame comic. an woman with grey hair and a yellow scarf is getting interviewed on the street. the interviewer asks : ma'am! what do you think of the radical left fearmongering that we could someday see fascism in the u.s.? she replies : dear boy, the u.s. has been a blueprint for fascism all along. hitler specifically cited jim crow, u.s. anti-miscege- nation and white-only immi- gration laws as inspiration for his eugenics policies. germany sent people to study what was being done in the u.s. to export it over there. in the 30s, tens of thousands of americans attended massive rallies by fascist groups such as the friends of new germany or the german american bund. then in the 40s, two dozen congresspeople were charged with sedition for planning a fascist overthrow of the government. and since wwII, the amount of fascist groups and militias has been exponential. not only can fascism come to the u.s., it has always been an inherent part of american society.

"How the media are gaslighting trans people" 6 frame comic in two columns. on the left, Trump, Hegseth and Bondi are disparaging trans people and vowing to exterminate them. On the right, newspaper article with the same images of them, reporting what they said but with no mention of trans people.

How the media are gaslighting trans people

Chloe Cole: The existence of even one detransitioner dismantles the central lie of transgenderism, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

Been inspired to write something for a couple days, arrived on my pile of notes I was meant to make clearer/more compact, did that instead and doodled a bit. Will definetly write soon tough... after probably imagining the scenes a couple hundred more times while listening to music.

Throughout history, each iteration of fascism came with its own particularities. Political theorist R. Griffin posits that the one thing they have in common is palingenetic ultranationalism. (Picture : Mussolini giving a speech) Palingenetic ("born again in ancient greek) ultranationalism is a far right narrative that frames the nation as decadent, as having lost its way, as being betrayed by dark elites. To save it, it needs to be destroyed, then reborn. (Picture: Trump giving a speech in front of a MAGA flag) with that goal in mind, an authoritarian power with divisive rhetoric channelsbthe population's anger towards a scapegoat demonized outgroup: migrants, religion, sexual and gender minorities... (picture : three masked ICE agents are handling someone.) Fascism is like a chameleon : it constantly adapts to eras and cultures. It is vital to learn to identify it and call it out. (Picture: a chameleon)

"What is fascism?"

4 frame comic. 1st frame : boats with different country flags, including palestine. text reads : a few weeks ago, 42 ships transporting people from 44 different countries joined together to form the global sumud flotilla, aiming to break the israeli maritime blockade of the gaza strip and provide humanitarian aid. 2nd frame, a lonely boat at large. text reads : after several drone attacks, most ships were intercepted by israel. this morning, october 3rd, the marinette, the last ship from the g.S.F., was seized 42 nautical miles away from the coast of gaza. 3rd frame, we see a soldier pointing a gun at a ship crew wearing lifevests. text reads : 461 crew members, including parliamentarians, lawyers, activists, and artists, have now been abducted by israeli forces. they are being illegally detained, as they were removed from international waters and taken to israel, where they had no plan of going. 4th frame, someone is weaving a palestinian flag at departing boats. text reads : will our governments hold israel accountable? using western weapons and money, 10% of gaza's population has now been killed or injured, according to israel's own ex-minister of defense. and bringing it up is a hate crime.

In solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla.

The "left terrorism hits 30-year high" headlines are a lie A new study has the media inaccurately reporting on a statistical fluctuation in left-wing terrorism.

NEW: Multiple media outlets - and Senator @johnfetterman.com - are claiming that left-wing terrorism has hit a "30 year high".

That's not what the data says. They're lying.

Deafening Silence After Mormon Church Shooter Not A "Transgender Leftist" But A Trump Supporter The event is a case study in how shootings are covered in America.

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist.

No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men.

The silence is deafening.
