It’s darkly funny how a decade of attacking “safe spaces” in favor of some sort of social Darwinist fantasy where the strong devour the weak has consistently progressed to the vigorous defense of special enclaves for masculinity.

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?
Riley Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports. Now, teammates are speaking out about the real problems on her team: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, eating disorders. ow.ly/o3wq50XuCzp
How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Reminder that these processors have not yet backed down AT ALL on mass / arbitrary censorship of legal art / expression / transactions
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

It's a certain type of online brain rot to believe that my posts about trans youth completing suicide, while being failed by the adults around them, is because of a cynical social media strategy rather than genuine anger at those creating the circumstances that lead to those tragedies.
Alejandra doomposts & makes enemies out of people who actually support her cause because her relevance depends on others being mad and scared.
It does her no good to tell followers that they're resilient/strong, or coalition build.
In any other context people would rightly call this manipulative.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.
