@MaldivesBlues @KarbonSays As a teenager, I was 120 lbs, slender, no facial hair, and had hair down to my ass. It was the 1970s, so I often dressed gender bender (think Plant, Bowie, etc.). I was misgendered all the time. But I was never kicked out of a bathroom.

@RTMannJr Why isn't it enough for you that three bullets whizzed past his head—bullets that would have killed him if but a little further to the right? Why isn't it enough that others were injured and that a spectator is dead? Why isn't the fact that an attempt was made on Trump's life

@MrAndyNgo Cop had to do it. This is the way it almost always goes down. Cops rarely kill unless warranted. Why men resist is a complex question. But telling people that cops are racist and oppressive increases the likelihood of defiance. And these are the consequences.

@theFoxFisher Trans is a simulation, an act of feigning gender through simulation, often a very poor mimicry of the thing it seeks to represent. None of this is a result of the natural history of our species.

@alyssaferrera_ @SemiObsessed @DaylightElise That's not why the person is wrong. The person is wrong because the gender of a skeleton is determinable in an examination of its remains—just as the gender of a child is not assigned but recognized (with very few errors in determination). Our species is sexually dismorphic.
