I have no time or respect for people who speak out of both sides of their mouths over a 70 year long, actively proceeding genocide. Especially people who have clearly joined a cult and are at best trying to ingratiate themselves with that community.

Funny how the one of those that engages in autistic coding is objectively less harmful than the one that goes out of it's way to point out that the central character is autistic.
@Cynthesader
@erismoth
Yeah, but we only care about allegedly cannibalistic cabals of pedophiles, not individual pedophiles with victims that yet walk the streets.
@boxfulthoughts
And then their eyes glaze over when you answer their rhetorical with the 5 words they don't seem to understand: "because Israel put them there." Israel IS their government, Hamas is just the Emergency Managers they installed to justify the violence.

Not just Knights, but the Beneficent Emperor of all Mankind, from Warhammer 40K. Even the chuds at my former FLGS called him the Emperor. It was weird.
@PatriciaTaxxon
And the horrifically ironic thing is that they didn't do anything to deal with the real problematic adult content accounts on tumblr: porn-bots. I get 5-20 notifications a week about a porn-bot following my account. Really good job at making the platform safe.
@nrduford
@msdoedevil
Just love the implication that queer people don't use other forms of protection WITH PrEP. As if the straights have an exemplary track record of taking reasonable precautions when it comes to sex, let alone when it comes to vice in general.
@ThoughtSlime
Having worked at an art supply store in a high crime area, the idea that you would fire someone for not stopping a shoplifter is preposterous, I don't care how brazen that shoplifter is. If my store gets robbed, it's management & the community's problem, not mine.
@BloodBecoming
Quoted tweet is silly. The act of declaring a gender that doesn't completely align with what you were assigned is evidence enough of dysphoria, even if all other indicators are too faint to register. No one just self-IDs w/o some reflection.
@GloriaSlap
@BankPads
@CaseyExplosion
The Guardian didn't mention it, but the TERFs, being "upstanding citizens" 🤢 did the diligence and dug up the other person's social media.
@DemonRin
@notCursedE
As I've said before, the first victim of transphobic legislation is invariably a vaguely butch Cis woman, but you will never hear the TERFs complain, because their Feminism only ever extends as far as harming Trans people.
@kat_blaque
Y'ALL (the naysayers in the thread, as Kat already did) NEED... to sit down, watch the video in its entirety, and listen to what Nat is saying, cuz some how, you've got this narrative that it's an 1:40 of her reading callout tweets, when there's way more to it than that.
Every single "parent" in these snaps deserves to be imprisoned and have their kids permanently and forcibly removed from their houses, because you're worse than a shit parent if you encourage your kids to lynch other kids; you're a child abuser.
@Potatopolitics
Stealth is just another closet. One that has the dubious advantage of being form-fitting, and lockable from the inside. In the end tho, you still have to either brace the door or leave it hanging open, both carrying their own risks.
@NuclearTakes
@omareid31
Anybody care to explain to George that Orwell was in fact a Socialist, albeit harshly critical of Lenin and Stalin, like most modern Socialists?
@ElectricClair
Have they ever considered how their Sex hormone levels impact their emotional states? I notice how less anger-prone I am on E, compared to the cis men in my life.
@jamiejoestar_
No, this is stealth character development. If you didn't know Lorca's secret when you saw this scene, you'd think he was just being cringe, but having watched Season 1 a few times, this is a breadcrumb that leads to the mid-season plot twist.
@dev_deets
@PaulaKGosney
@guardian
Nothing, but clearly, OP can't fathom a lesbian willingly consenting continuously to a date with a Trans woman, which I should point out was not explicitly mentioned in the article, so clearly, the OP's hair is on fire over a few mm of prominent cartilage.
@ashleynaftule
@Afrofilmviewer
TAFW you've so thoroughly repressed your experience of "the Dark World," that you automatically assume that they're referring to Thor: Ragnarok when they bring up "Thor 2."
@girlcel_
Always better when you have similar traumas, are getting treatment, and none of you are hiding a history of anger issues or prior domestic abuse accusations. Also, being within driving distance helps too.
@IzzyWinterz
The combined might of hundreds of Trans people talking about their egg-times to the point where I said, "you're right, this isn't garden-variety depression, I'm going to try something else." And it worked.
@StopTweetingMia
@peekabab_taco
Part of me thinks the speculative 20-year sequel will try to get a trans actor to be the subject of the last time they ever use that gag, but at the same time, there's no good angle for that joke to land without it going from superficially offensive to outright transphobic.
@FoldableHuman
One of the most highly underrated queer love stories ever put on film. Just by virtue of the fact that the characters have a tenderness toward each other that belies the harshness of their day-to-day lives.
@aedison
No, we just don't think sustained targeted harassment, facilitated by a website known solely for being a clearing house for the doxxing of Trans people, is a good look for other Trans people. Especially other Trans people who are clearly blind to their own privilege.
@WendyMDCCCLXXI
@TitusInvictus
I would remark that AnCap has always been a truncated portmanteau of Anarcho-Capitalism, but since legalized child sexual slavery is a common enough canard in their literature to be a plank in their platform, I see no harm in this.
@SpoilersSpoils
@SportIsARight
@chernowa
The irony of the Jordan Peterson all-beef diet is that beef is extremely high in Estrogen too. So these guys going hyper-carnivore are trading a low chance of feminization through diet for a higher chance of feminization and less nutrition.
@AnastasiaDucs
@AlleeCatBlues
@TransSalamander
This is of course assuming that the writers do any research at all in developing a trans character (most Cis writers wouldn't bother), or that the Director takes the time to learn about Trans experiences in order to aid the actor in perfecting their performance (unlikely).
@_Ninji
I just wish the Neurotypicals around me would stop assuming that I know precisely what they expect when they give me big, open-ended tasks. Even management at work has said that needs to improve, but it's like herding cats.
@kvetchkween
Only another white guy, and even then, the threshold for justifying it would've been higher, and the backlash for doing so would've been milder.
@kirchenthomas1
@DomainDead
A public college is not the government. It's also not a public space, local statutes notwithstanding. It's technically a government corporation, in that while the government owns it, it runs like a private business, regardless of what proportion of its revenue is from taxation.
@michellexotter
I'd be confused as to how you managed to sneak a fully decorated tree into my apartment, but I'd quickly bring you some blankets and something warm to drink.
@arlesfemme
@D1s4sterDr3w
As opposed to obvious things like sharing needles. Most of this rhetoric places the blame on the queer community and deflects it away from straights.
@Burssty
2 bananas @ $120k each, with a maintenance agreement, meaning the buyer has to supply fresh bananas. And the guy that ate one of them was a performance artist, and turned himself in without contesting vandalism and destruction of property charges.
@actuallyalice
You don't question medical realities. EVER. I'd never let a medical skeptic cohabitate with me or my chronically ill loved one, relative or not, and if their parents beg, I'd flat out tell them that I'm scared that they'll try to negligently kill me/mine.
@ToriGlass
@NathalyLace
It's always parents that feel their child is entitled to victory that are leading these crusades. It's never someone that buys into the ideals of Sportsmanship and the Competitive Spirit & if the schools/athletics orgs had spines, they'd remove their kids first.
@TransSalamander
Somehow, not having the *wrong* hormones impacting your neurochemistry is a big part of it. Losing your apathy wrt your appearance is an huge factor.
@DGililly
@StatisticUrban
Have fun eating 30% cotton rag paper, nickel, silver, copper, and gold. No one stopping the store from jacking up costs is going to make that pile of fiber and heavy metal look damned tasty when you can't actually use it to buy stuff.
@autogynamelia
@Ranting_Trans
Going from the headspace of "I'm worthless for looking/being like that," to, "this isn't perfect, but I can change it," was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Challenge to Hollywood: aggressively cast Jared Leto in the role of a deeply empathetic domestic abuse survivor with an arc consisting of endless compassionate martyrdom, and see how long it takes him to either start a charity or storm off of the set.
@cyberwitchlexi
TAFW you have roughly the same IQ, but have more positive relationships with other people precisely b/c you don't lord it over literally everyone you meet.
@chasestrangio
It would be horrible if someone in admissions at the schools these girls are going to attempt to attend would find this photograph and decide that this enthusiastic support doesn't align with the schools' values. Simply horrible.
@LucyDoyle_1997
@tinybird420
B/C access. Too many Alex Jones-tier chasers in their cam chats, that happen to have money, to afford to be seen as having anything approaching Leftist sympathies. That's why household name Trans in the industry have no or shitty politics.
@Ihileath
@scattermoon
Same here. Doubly so after surviving decades of narcissistic abuse at another relative's hand. How can anyone expect to have a healthy relationship when they're subject to prolonged character assassination?
@lmNOTcatholic
@LeonPaws_FFXIV
If they want to complain about something, they should be complaining about the death of the reputable local bar at the hands of chain restaurants & the Walmartification of late night culture. But they won't, cuz that sounds too much like speaking out against capitalism.
@NewGenderWhoDis
@acvalens
It's too late, but I'm more worried about the guys that don't, cuz a statistically relevant number of them hold positions that are more than a bit harmful to the safety of everybody, especially women.
@ToniQueene
Luckily, they fucked up my labs, so I got to talk to a doctor that wasn't a massive tool after they rechecked my levels, so I wasn't gate-kept on their end for too long. (2/2)
@ToniQueene
Yeah. That was the really fucked up part of the initial HRT consult. The med student handling the psych eval apparently didn't understand that Transbians/non-het Trans girls existed, so she was tripping over a ton of assumptions about my sexuality. (1/2)
@TheIVEyed
@charllandsberg
@FuckingSodium
It is biologically Essentialist to argue that AMABs are predisposed to Toxic Masculinity, rather than acknowledge that what we're usually dealing with is Internalized Misogyny, which is different b/c 1 is directed outward while the other is directed inward.
@LouiBaxter
@transscribe
Funny how that separation had nothing to do with protecting female athletes from male predators and everything to do with protecting male pride. The infantilization of women is nothing new, even without Trans athletes.
Let's see how long it takes to get suspended: Greg Abbot, like all Fascists, is a paedophile, and every member of the media establishment that does not characterize his anti-trans policy through that lens is blind.
@kirchenthomas1
@DomainDead
And in that sense, there is no expectation that constitutional rights must be respected by the proprietors of those institutions. There's a ton of casework that supports this here:
@thems_thebreaks
More proof that Joanne here is a deeply incurious person that allegedly never read anything critically, so in the course of shamelessly stealing thematic elements for her BIG WORK, she unknowingly imported eugenics into her coming of age story.
