con questi nuovi ritmi americani (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸🏳

Sorry if I’m being slow, but is it transmisogyny and misogynoir both by and towards trans women, or just towards them?

States that have a "our young people grow up and move away" problem should also not be doing this.

It forces the kids to grow up and move away. With less reason for any to come back.

5. That Farage being a racist is not a problem, but an asset as far as his supporters is concerned, is the outcome of the most successful propaganda machine we’ve ever witnessed. In the name of patriotism, in 17 years, it has drawn Britain into fascistic international networks.

John Calvin on exploiting workers:

"When a robber kills a man, his object is the spoil; but he who extorts labor from a poor man and sucks, so to speak, his blood… this is more atrocious than if he violently killed a stranger.”

People who couldn't handle the mild inconvenience of social distancing are somehow going to endure the far more immense disruption of getting randomly shot by their neighbors?

Sure, ok 👍👍

I literally thought this was about perimenopause and I was like substitute gaming for Netflix and that’s where I’d like to be in a couple months’ time…

Well this is interesting.

Imagine your country being seen as a hope for a new life for thousands of people wanting to live and contribute in your towns and instead of being proud of it you go no nope nope this country should be a scary shitheap people should be scared to come here how dare they think we are good

you were the literal prime minister!!!!! are you not embarrassed!!!!!

I remember posting a year ago about the similarities between the media response to the rise in people coming out as trans and its response to the rise in diagnoses of autism and adhd. We all saw where this was headed.

Trans people would much rather be able to live openly and freely as our authentic selves than be able to say "we told you so," but it looks like "we told you so" is all we're going to fucking get. 😒

I’m going to go out on a limb here and submit that Mind and the National Autism Society are *not* okay with this and the celebratory rhetoric is for self-preservation.

Streeting orders review into mental health and ADHD diagnoses The health secretary says the aim is to tackle a rising demand for services and pressure on the NHS.

Wow, feels like this government won't rest until everyone in Britain is a neurotypical middle manager who delegates every thought to ChatGPT.

Sex Matters • @SexMattersOrg •14h @HJoyceGender: "What is distinctive about single sex groups is obviously lost if people of the opposite sex are admitted." @BBCNews

The WI has been trans inclusive since the 70s, before I was born. Do you see who in this scenario was innocently minding their own business, coming to their own arrangements locally? Do you see who is forcefully imposing themselves and their demands upon others, via threats.

It is really clear that the right are gleefully radicalising themselves, pumping it into the public space, and the government are now treating it as normal and not an extremely unusual position.

“I question the energy that is being dedicated to harming vulnerable people and children rather than tackling the much bigger and very real risks facing women and girls.” 100% this.

I have said this for years. The British university essay is much more exploratory and expansive in this regard.

Nightmare before Christmas ☠️ 🌲

Happy holidays, everyone.

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

A core problem for American liberalism is a constitutional inability to tell people who were important to the movement decades ago to go away because they're not relevant anymore.

Reagan/GW Bush admin people might as well not exist to the modern right. Maybe that's...something to consider.

Ijeoma Oluo said something during the 2016 election about how it is not an improvement if the boot on your neck has a high heel and I have thought about that almost every day since

I’ve been thinking a lot about the old saw that we get more conservative as we age and wondering whether what that really means is not so much that you go backward, but that you refuse to evolve as the world moves forward without you. Hillary is who she always was, but we have WILDLY outgrown her

if a non-Jewish person says “Jewish people should ______” I simply don’t think there’s a good end to that sentence

like whatever you say it’s going to be bad somehow

just don’t

For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

Guardian faces trial after influencer sues over 'alt-right agitator' label Guardian News and Media is considering next steps after a finding it was defamatory to describe Andy Ngo as an "'alt-right' agitator".

This is what happens when you give the far right the benefit of the doubt when they claim they care about free speech...

7/ Mainly I was thinking throughout: what a waste of an opportunity. We have so many stories about what privileged brats Ivy League kids are, and by extension all college kids since in the absence of representation the others get grouped under that sign, too. It’d be nice2hear a diff perspective.

6/ I’d be curious to see the proportion of dialogue given to Julia Robert and the other profs compared to the students. I’d imagine it’s 2:1 at least. That’s not nuance. That’s catering to an audience of elder millennials, Gen Xers, and boomers.

5/ The shots of Julia Roberts finishing her article on ethics in the era of digital surveillance or whatever juxtaposed w/her student discovering her past were cringe.

4/ The both-sidesing of civil liberties was embarrassing.
