Trans sisters. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. I
an somy.
I genuinely thought that as a trans woman, if ceded some points with the gender critical crowd we could have a healthier conversation and arrive at better public policy.
The problem is, they are getting crazier and more extreme.
If you admit "trans women don't belong in women's sports" they agree, but call you a man the whole time.
If you admit, "I understand I am a biological man, but this is how I want to live my life and talking about me like this is degrading" they scream about free speech.
If you admit that hurtful language is part of free speech but you don't have to associate with people that degrade you, they act like the victim and call you a man and then say you should be thrown in an insane asylum.
It's like this on everything. They are incapable of looking for a middle ground on bathrooms. They want maximalist policies on everything. They'd throw a fully transitioned, fully passing trans woman in male prison genpop and laugh as she got aids from being raped.
I want a middle ground on so many of these polices. BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS THEY DO NOT. They enjoy degrading us, it's fun for them.
So, sisters. I genuinely don't know what to do. I think many of our most extreme ideas are bad. But theirs are worse. So if I have to pick, I choose us.
I wish there were a political vehicle for compromise and medical safeguarding. But that just simply does not exist.

2/ I consider my business settled with all trans sisters. If anyone wants to reset things, unblock and move forward, I am happy to do that.

An SRE goes to their psychiatrist and says "the stress of AWS outages taking my services down is making my hair fall out. Can you help me?"
The psychiatrist tells them to remember to not worry about things they can't control and wait for Amazon SREs to fix it.
They reply "but I AM the Amazon SRE!"

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

I suspect they would get very upset if told to 'find their own holiday instead of stealing Saturnalia as designated by the Romans before Christianity even existed'

The Nazi POS who invaded a UW classroom and then got chased out by students decided to post his own video clip to TikTok.
So I decided to remove his self-promotion from it and add some appropriate music.

This cartoon has four panels, all featuring the same three characters. Charlie, a white man in a suit and tie. Ezra, a white man in more casual clothing. And Reader, a Latina wearing shorts and a black tank.
PANEL 1
Charlie and Ezra are walking together. Nearby, Reader sits at the base of a tree, reading a book, and overhears.
CHARLIE: We need Nuremberg-style trials for tranny-affirming clinic doctors.
EZRA: As a liberal centrist, I can't agree with that. But what matters is that we're talking.
PANEL 2
The woman looks annoyed.
CHARLIE: Democrats want Mexicans to overrun us because they hate America and wanna see it become less white and collapse!
EZRA: That's not true. But again, we're talking! Thank you for practicing politics the right way!
PANEL 3
The woman stands up, yelling angrily at the two men.
CHARLIE: You know what happens in the cities? Blacks prowl around attacking white people for fun! Haitians rape your women and hunt you!
EZRA: Again, I can't agree. But I--
READER: Fuck that racist bullcrap!
PANEL 4
Ezra and Charlie walk on, not speaking to the woman, who watches them leave with an annoyed expression.
EZRA: Tsk! So uncivil! That's the kind of intolerance that's ruining America.
CHARLIE: They should deport her!
CHICKEN FAT WATCH
PANEL 1: A notice taped to the tree says "DON'T don't don't don't don't don't forget about me baby," a reference to a song by Simple Minds made famous in The Breakfast Club.
PANEL 4: A heart carved into the tree trunk says "N.L. + S.T." Another heart says "J.T. + J.B.," but has been crossed out. A third heart says "A.H. + J.B." All of these hearts refer to one of my favorite musicals, Sweeney Todd.
Beaker from The Muppets is sticking his head out a hole in the ground.
A rat is walking on the street next to the sidewalk, looking distressed as it reads something on its phone. It's wearing a shirt with a hearts pattern.
A piece of litter on the ground says "REPENT. Panel 4 is upon us!"

This cartoon has four panels.
PANEL ONE
We are looking at a smartphone being held by a hand. On the phone, a man is cheerfully talking to the camera (and presumably, to the person holding the phone). He’s wearing a t shirt that says “Make Orwell Fiction Again,” and on the wall behind him is a “V for Vendetta” poster with the Guy Fawkes mask pictured, and a poster showing a sad kitten face and the caption “FACTS don’t care about your FEELINGS.” In the upper right corner of the screen, there’s a smaller image of a woman’s face, presumably the person he’s talking to.
MAN: Feminism used to be about fixing inequality but now that’s solved and it’s just about giving women unfair advantages!
PANEL TWO
A group of protestors stands holding protest signs, mostly about apartheid and about President Reagan – “Musicians against apartheid,” “human rights now,” “Reagan sucks,” and “Divestment now” can be read. A big red brick building and trees in the background make this look like it’s probably a college campus in autumn. Centered on the panel, A man with glasses is talking to a woman (the woman is wearing a pink triangle button). This panel is pretty much how I remember protests at Oberlin College in the 1980s.
MAN: Feminism used to be about fixing inequality…
PANEL THREE
A hillside in what looks like a public park on a warm, sunny day. In the background, we can see groups of young people sitting on the grass. In the foreground, we see a man and a woman dressed as hippies – her in long straight hair, loose floral dress, flower headband, and holding a tambourine, him with long hair and a full beard, wearing a necklace of large beads, and a vest, and holding a guitar.
MAN: But now that’s all solved…
PANEL FOUR
We are inside a cave, looking at two stereotypical cartoon cavepeople, one female and one male. They are holding big drumstick-looking pieces of meat and sitting around a small fire.
CAVEMAN: …and it’s just about giving women unfair advantages!
Feminism Used To Be Good!

Photo from news article of a golden statue of Donald Trump holding Bitcoin in his hand.
Caption reads: 12-foot golden statue of Trump holding Bitcoin unveiled outside US Capitol.
It isn't even satire. Something, something "golden idol".

3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon is four panels long. Each panel shows the same prosperous-looking middle-aged white man, wearing a suit and tie, walking on city sidewalks and talking loudly into his cell phone.
There’s an additional tiny “kicker” panel below the bottom of the comic.
PANEL 1
Necktie man is talking into his cell phone with an aggrieved expression. He’s walking pass an annoyed-looking young guy leaning against a wall. The young guy is wearing a backwards baseball cap, glasses, and a tank top, and he’s speaking to necktie man. Necktie man gives no sign of having heard.
NECKTIE: I’ve tried everything to find new workers! I’ve gone to job fairs… Offered them tee-shirts for applying…
WALL LEANER: Did you offer higher wages?
PANEL 2
Necktie dude is now in a different area, still looking aggrieved and talking loudly into his phone. On the street next to the sidewalk, a blonde woman on a bike, wearing a red bike helmet and a blue hoodie, talks to Necktie as she passes him.
NECKTIE: I can’t fill these jobs! I even got the government to throw people off unemployment… Nothing works!
BIKER: Have you tried offering higher wages?
PANEL 3
Necktie walks past a little girl playing hopscotch on the same sidewalk.
NECKTIE: I’m offering unpredictable schedules, minimal benefits and $9 an hour! And they still don’t want my jobs?
LITTLE GIRL: You should offer higher wages.
PANEL 4
Necktie dude walks past a couple of protestors. The first protestor is holding a sign saying “HIGHER,” and the second protestor has a sign saying “WAGES.”
NECKTIE: I’ve tried everything. They just don’t want to work!
NECKTIE: Hello, governor? Can we arrest people for being unemployed?
TINY KICKER PANEL UNDER THE BOTTOM
Necktie dude, still looking grumpy, is talking at the cartoonist.
NECKTIE: I’d love to pay higher wages, but we don’t have the money! I had to get by on only a $38 million salary this year!
"I've Tried Everything To Find New Workers!"
