This piece is so good! Well done. So happy The Bachman Books are getting proper attention these days.

Also, henceforth this is how I shall be referring to this year: “In 2025, the year of Richard Bachman”

Also they’re so dumb that the military has stopped treating cis men who have breast cancer, in trying to be compliant with this gender regulation bullshit. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

They only care about people who have “gender dysphoria.” It’s totally fine for cis people to use puberty blockers, be on HRT, have boob jobs or top surgery etc. That gender affirming care is fine bc it’s “normal.” Nothing for the freaky trans people tho.

Ok your name wins the internet tho 👏🤩

Truscum is a term for trans medicalism, which is the viewpoint you both seem to be representing here. I stated that, and said it’s hard to hear from within the trans community. You’re yelling at someone who is literally on your side. Best of luck.

I was only condescending after you said I said it’s fine for trans women to die, which I most emphatically never did, and then you backed your friend who called me a lesbian & said I’d never be a real man. I said we should be on the same page - all trans people. That’s still my position.

Yah. We haven’t had technical droughts in recent years but it’s nothing like the 90s where there were just months of steady chill rain. When it does rain now it’s a lot of “atmospheric river” type storms.

Screaming!! Somehow I missed this! loml live!!! Gahhhhh thank you!

How is your situational awareness out in the real world? Do you bump into walls? I literally never said anything about it being fine for trans women to die or to not call yourself as a transsexual. I don’t gaf how trans people label themselves! You don’t even know if I call myself a transsexual lol

Honey, this is all just such a hoot. I am both trans and gay. I fuck cis gay men. I’m absolutely not a lesbian feminist, whatever the fuck that is. And I don’t even know how you can say I’m like JKR when she’s the one using feminism for transphobia - just like you. Bye

Please go read the thread that I am a part of. That is not me conversing with her when she asked that. She literally never posed the question to me. And I have answered it anyway, in agreement with both of you. This insistence on dividing trans people is just whack, yo, we are on the same team!!!!

I’m so glad he got care.

And yes, 100%! Nothing about this is a surprise when trans people are literally being outlawed. It empowers all the stupid people to bring their bigot shit out into the daylight.

See above. Those words literally never appeared from my keyboard and no, I do not think that. I think lack of access to medical care harms ALL trans people - trans woman, trans men, and trans non-binary people.

Separate & aside, sure, I’m a fucking feminist, but that doesn’t mean I think 1 binary gender is better than another lol. And I’m a trans man. Who are you to say what that means or whether or not that’s “real?” It’s hard to not assume you’re taking out your own self-loathing with this POV. Be well.

And are we really going to start separating out “real” trans people on the basis of how near-to-death they have been at one point in their life or another??

That all baffles me.

It’s just so fucking arrogant to say that you can ascertain any of that info about another trans person, and so fucking pointless to try to segregate our community like this. Are you really under the impression that trans non-binary people do not suffer on behalf of their identities as well?

And plenty of the “men in dresses” as you call them are either a) AMAB trans non-binary people, or trans women who for a plethora of reasons cannot access healthcare. You cannot at a glance tell how people identify. And you cannot claim to know the level of dysphoria that anyone grapples with.

Policing what does and does not count as dysphoria, however, is in question. Plenty of non-binary people require surgery (for ex: top) to relieve dysphoria.

In the part of the convo I was in with you, I never said trans woman don’t die without access to proper medical care. Of course they do, and I am horrified by it. HRT is life saving and life giving. That was never in question.

This is so bizarre. I am a trans man who was forced to present as a woman until age 42, when I was privileged enough to have access to surgery and HRT. I have absofuckinglutely *nothing* in common with JKR.

Ok this is just bat shit 😆

I have started like 3 replies to this and your statement is so ludicrous I don’t even know what to unpack first. But the gist is that none of what you just said is true.

This. I was freaking scared for her the whole time I was reading.

And just asking questions!! 😆😆😆😆

Screaming 😆

What Parker said.

Totally this here in SF, too. It still gets foggy by the beach and occasionally it will blanket the city, but nothing like the ravaging, predictable fog of the 90’s. And no more reliable rainy season either. 😔

Photographs of the mug shots of two societally attractive men side by side, and underneath that a screen grab of the movie Grease with a bunch of girls in skimpy clothes, one of whom is on her back with her legs open in the air, and the caption: “Two suspects arrested in the Louvre jewel heist break the internet as people across France encourage robbers to steal theirs next.” Marie from Nice said: “I’ve unlocked my jewelry box and left the front door open. Cest la vie’ “ Claudine from Lyon said: “If they fancy another heist, my pearls are ready and so am I”

I need to break up this garish timeline so just dropping this here.

Thanks for that framing.

I remain skeptical, unfortunately. Too many hate crimes (esp queer ones) don’t ultimately merit that designation in the eyes of the law and it’s really problematic. (And emblematic!) Just goes to show how rampant anti-Semitism, transphobia etc really is.

Oooh ty. I intend to use my newfound knowledge to impress my British friend who is coming over today 😁

Jesus, what fantasy world is he living in. I think you were generous with “sack of shit.”
