You know what, even fuckin' Gaia Online had a more serious and grounded approach to discourse than what twitter has gotten to at this point.
I've got bad ADHD, I get why folks have trouble logging off
But at this point Elonville is sealioning you by default.

Notice how she cut triangles out of the fly side rather than the hoist, where the chevrons would be in a progress pride flag.
She just hacked up regular rainbow flags to pretend she did something.

Because conservatives love pointless bureaucracy if it's to "teach a lesson" to the people they deem to have character deficiencies
I love when people try to actually answer "But what has LGB Alliance actually done for LGB people?"
"They made a helpline"
No they applied for grant money to make a planning committee to make a plan to make a helpline.
There is no helpline.

When they mock us for wanting to not die, I'm gonna mock them when they do.
I have ceased caring if that's mean. They should have considered that traumatized people won't treat them nice before they went around traumatizing people.
I wish hell existed so he could go there.

That's their whole thing. It's an organization of (per their statements under oath in court) 70% straight people with a few token gays and lesbians that is exclusively anti-trans and pretending to support gay people as cover.

Yes, they are also named Goldstein. No, they aren't related to the first one.

If cops are going to have to break *federal* law to do it, then make them break the law, otherwise you're the one breaking federal law by handing over federally protected private correspondence.

Funny how school shootings weren't so common we needed drills for them until the assault weapon ban expired.
And that wasn't even a *good* law. By all accounts it was a mess.
But it WORKED.
Even as a mess it did better than EVERYTHING Republicans have offered combined.

Ingraham wasn't mid gesture. She stopped, paused in that position, then explicitly switched to a different gesture to provide you with the microscopic fig leaf of plausible deniability you desperately wanted so you could be okay with it even though you know what it was.

Its an openly trans-inclusive nude spa. The consent to potentially being in the presence of trans people is when you choose to pay money to walk in the door. And it can be revoked at any time by walking back out the door.
TERF: "LGB Alliance was the first to report about Monkeypox"

@VeryClumsyMage
Half of them will visibly start scrambling for an explanation for why this was different than the past 30-40 years of nudity on late night tv and then realizing all they've got is "she's trans" and then try to backpedal to a different argument
Hell as far as I can see they haven't even actually done the *make the planning committee* part yet.
The only action they've taken toward the helpline is to ask for money and then cash the check.
It's truly astonishing how often I see sentiments to the effect of "if you can physically type, you obviously can work a continuous eight hour shift five days in a row with only two days off and no sick leave"
Buddy my fingers aren't the disabled part.
#KnivesOutSpoonies
What do Ableds conveniently get wrong about chronic illness in order to turn a profit, prop up supremacy culture, or just to be an asshole?

And the money wasn't ever asked for to make the helpline, because then they'd get in trouble if they didn't do it.
They asked for the money so that they could develop a plan.
That way they can just never do anything except meet once at a restaurant to "plan" over dinner

Imagine being such a coward you believe that walking down the street is so rife with people trying to ambush you that you need a robot to spot for you...and then also thinking you're reliable enough to be trusted with impunity to use deadly weapons.

The idea that before and after first time having sex are two distinct and notable categories is *literally* a construct of society.
Why not a word for before and after the first time you drink alcohol?
Before and after the first time you get a paycheck?

It's hilarious watching them try to convince us they were unaware Channel 4 features nudity on late-night programming.
Naked Attraction has been running for most of a decade
@IikeClockwork
And also previously claimed that the surgery happened at age 17.
But then realized that in the UK, 17 is unambiguously old enough to unilaterally consent to medical treatments so nobody could have stopped them if they wanted to, so suddenly it happened younger now
🤔🤔🤔
LGBT people are often racist and need to fucking stop it.
Fishing for dox on a trans woman while making threats like "You better not let me find you" because you're mad and mistook them for someone else is unacceptably abusive behavior.
Two things can be true at the same time.

@setoacnna
Back when their subreddit was unbanned, there was *always* an example of this in the top page or two of the sub.
A witch hunt to find the "TiM" infiltrating some recent radfem event, confirmation it was a cis friend of another member, and "look what TRAs made me do"s all around

Yes, but these are right-wing reactionaries.
The idea of "multiple valid options you're allowed to choose from" offends them even more than Pride flags do.

People acting like it's oppression for people to jeer Ricky is half of how comedians got to the point that they think trying to humiliate someone for having an autoimmune disorder in front of an international audience of millions is acceptable.

And goblins in folklore have basically nothing in common with the goblins in Harry Potter.
The ones in folklore are more likely to steal the lint out of your drier than care about gold.

How does it empower an artist when someone else declares themselves the owner of your work because their computer won at Numberwang and then they sell YOUR work for ten times your annual income and you don't see a cent of it?

Also I've found anyone whose identity is clean and simple and neat is someone who just hasn't spent time really thinking on it.
Everyone and I mean everyone I know who has done more than a few years of serious introspection on it has a self-description with 50 asterisk footnotes

Buddy just because twitter forced them to take down the tweets for misinformation about contagious diseases doesn't mean the tweets never happened.
@SkyFeedsOnSpite
@redlianak
It's very important to them that they try to cast every man as "the oppressor" and every woman as "the oppressed"
But when they're white and the guy isn't, it interferes with that dynamic so they just deny it.
@LeekSpicy
@jessiegender
Yes, I know a number of people in the LGBT community who regularly talk about their experience of detransitioning.
One person who has told me their experience had detransitioned three times to escape persecution, and each time it was a living hell until they could re-transition.
@RealDJCthulhu
I saw one trying to shame people for using consent checklists yesterday.
Because apparently they're a living embodiment of the "Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" Jesus meme.
@setoacnna
Like, these were private events for just folks who knew each other and their friends. Which should function as a vouching system since they're all GCs.
Yet even in a space where they know they are all vouched for they still photo and dox one another as "secret men"

Hard to keep giving charitable readings when every time he says it it gets more eugenics-sounding.

Because he wasn't trans, and giving that sort of HRT to someone who isn't trans will *give* them dysphoria.
Which is why people who aren't actually trans but try to transition virtually always stop almost immediately after starting hormones.

Also insisting a car can carry more than one person rules out most professional grade race cars which are, as the name suggests, a type of car.

Also, you know, he was caught saving the phone numbers of children who called a help line so he could contact them privately and try to do conversion therapy on them.
So there's also that part of why he's considered a Broken Stair.
I 100% believe Keffals has said some seriously problematic shit somewhere at some time.
Like I said. New Queers who go massively viral always say some fucking shit.
I don't need to see receipts to believe it happened.
But if a receipt is from KF I assume THAT one is a lie, too

That would be an argument if she just never talked about Mexico.
But ignoring Mexico when women's rights are at stake and yelling when there's trans people makes it clear what her true priorities are.

John Wayne tried to assault a woman for opposing racism on stage at the oscars in '73 and people didn't start talking about him being an abuser. He was beloved for another 40 years.
Objectively worse than what Smith did in every regard.

The idea that butch women should have to carry papers in order to access restrooms is horrifying.
Especially when it is SO blatant that it is purely targeting women for not conforming to patriarchal sexist notions of conventional attractiveness.

She just has to find the right tweet by a trans woman to blame it all on, just like with the leak.
Cash money says behind all the layers of "socially acceptable" camouflage she's an anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-immigrant brexiteer.
