Zoë wants a calzonë ⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🍉

I've moved on to "did I do something wrong?"

I fucking hate it.

Let this serve as a warning to Dems who abandon trans folks and vote for anti trans bills. You will be primaried, and you will lose.

This drives me up walls as well -- if that book wanted people to follow it unthinkingly and without interpretation, then perhaps its central figure would probably not primarily teach in fucking parable and would instead simply speak directly.

Very worrisome bsky.app/profile/desi...

i have a whole ritual where i sugar mine while I watch trans women yelling about politics on youtube and then put on a facemask

proposing a rule that if any journalist doesn't have a transsexual friend whom they see regularly, they aren't allowed to write a single fucking word about our bodies, our healthcare, or our dignity

Yeah, Crockett actually fights, and Talalrico was actually a loud trans advocate in the state house.

And I regret that Paxton's face is so unremarkable that I wouldn't recognize him to punch him if I saw him on the street.

Same.

Same.

I insisted on getting out of the car at the "Welcome to the land of enchantment" sign, just so I could turn toward Austin and give Paxton the finger. I still have that photo somewhere.

I wouldn't say "jack shit happened about it", so much as "American conservativism became pro-Putin and pro-Orban, and so stopped seeing stuff like this as a problem"

They're calling her the goat, the greatest to ever do it, the genius of the 21st century, the most vindicated bitch who ever lived, her haters in shambles her doubters in tears she's loosed the faithful lightning of her terrible swift sword, HER TRUTH IS MARCHING ON

MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

also, calling something intended to just be a UBI a "stimulus" check is.... weird.

And I think I'm going to leave this at the top for today.

On the other side of this, there is definitely an eggy transfeminine thing where you identify as nonbinary because you loathe identifying with masculinity and feel that you dont "deserve" femininity, and end up stuck looking for any other identity that you can (though obvs internalized mysogyny too)

i feel strongly that anyone that thinks that there is a nefarious cabal of surgeons and doctors Transing people should be forced to try and schedule one (1) transsexual procedure

I started HRT at 41, after 15 years of "I'm just a nonbinary person thing who doesn't need hormones, because Iḿ just femmey and against the gender binary!" thing.

It's not late-in-life transition that will make them truscum on the other side, it's the engaging with intense transmysogyny.

*sigh*

Fair enough.

And at that point, even if someone like that transitions, they'd come out the other end as a Caitlin Jenner or Brianna Wu.

I'm glad to see that big of a "name" in physics actually caring about the sexism, if nothing else.

in going star to star will probably hit saturation before other species have a chance to evolve at all.

Yeah, this is exactly right. Also, if "going and doing space travel and setting up space civilizations in other star systems" are possible, the time scale for that is likely, much MUCH shorter than the billions of years required to evolve from scratch, so the first civilization with an interest

We should probably check in on "him" in a few years.

Gay men are men, I guess. Always feels good to put a woman in her place, I guess.

The cis gay male community chewed me up and spit me out in so many ways. So many toxic things happened.

Also, just the naked mysogyny, so much worse than in general society was more than I could deal with, even then.

You have to give it to Ben, he may have set a record for "eggiest tagline ever" though.

intersectionality is situational and fluid. You're deliberately misreading intersectional feminism if you are using it to create an absolute hierarchy of who is the most privileged and who is the least privileged.

Yeah, no doubt at all there. I also think calling on him to quit his job when he literally gets ideas out to an audience that otherwise would not hear them is also ludicrous

Navigating these systems is hard for everyone

Anyway, here's a link to help Bella.

Anyway, we should all listen to each other, and reporters reporting on an affect population should quote from that population.

justify bringing all of Bluesky down on one random trans woman because she had the audacity to say that a mighty NYT columnist likes to scream down trans women.

In fact, this incident kind of proves her initial point, doesn't it?
