@franfine1917.bsky.social
I'm a recent PhD graduate posting some of my more interesting finds from my dissertation on Russian queer history in the 1990s
Masha Gessen being one of the main characters in my dissertation about queer activism in 90s Russia and still being a major character in my life as a queer in 20s America is so wild

@lakshya.splitticket.org gunning for Mamdani is very odd given that the "Mamdani Model," if such a thing exists, could be described as doing what all the good centrists have been saying: focus on affordability/kitchen table issues, de-emphasize culture war stuff, make overtures to

Nice to see a least a few normie Dems and never Trumpers are finding their balls again
“It’s possible, even probable, that Trump is interested in the issue as an instrument for bludgeoning Democrats…But Democrats don’t have to make it easy. There’s no reason for them to fuel the MAGA fires by overthinking, underreacting, and avoiding confrontation.”

The Transgender “Issue” Is Not a Distraction for Democrats
It’s an opportunity to speak clearly about human rights and morality. Follow the facts and the Golden Rule.

Me a very smart genius: the transgender movement should have not chosen to have the Supreme Court as the final arbiter of law. They should have picked someone else! This is, I assume, a choice they made, and not how other people have treated the US government for decades.

In 1993, SPID-info featured an article by Aron Belkin decrying the entire enterprise of sexual reassignment as pointless. He was a pioneer in the field of trans healthcare in the USSR, and for a long time he was the only specialist who issued permits to transsexuals for surgical correction of gender
