FWIW, I just emailed NYT's standards editor to ask about the paper's policy on this. Will update if I get a response.

I remember a while back PhilosophyTube had a video about indigenous practices and said "unlike Abrahamic religions, indigenous faiths are [listed like twenty things that are true of Judaism]"

The promise was that by privatizing Judaism in a Protestant sense, Jews could become equal citizens and integrated into the polity. The fact that this failed to reduce racialized anti-Jewish bigotry is a big part of what led many Jews to define themselves as a national group and turn to nationalism.

Again, it is worth noting that it is THE TRANSPHOBES who are locked into gender stereotypes, and all their criticism of trans people for doing that is PROJECTION.
If people are 'less locked into gender stereotypes' then how are they also 'misleading children' into thinking they're trans if they don't conform to said stereotypes?
She's not even making sense on her own terms.

This is a good thread, but as a Jewish Studies scholar, one of the major points I try to make to my students is that Jewish peoplehood contains elements of religion, ethnicity, and nationality, without totally fitting into any of these boxes.
India does not have the academic study of religion. IMO, this is part of the reason why modi’s Hindu nationalist regime gained control of India
the concept of religion is a western construct that doesn’t “fit” non-Abrahamic traditions. Many Hindus say Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life. 🧵

If it is not clear, they are arresting Black activists & journalists b/c they can’t deport them legally & state terror can serve a dual purpose of chilling dissent & labeling Black folks as rioters (read-anti nationals)./1

This is just open, unabashed white nationalist rhetoric at this point.

god this drives me mad in the UK; hearing transphobic arguments from older liberals *that are identical to the 1990s conversation they were on the right side of*.
HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.
They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition.
Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

America has a history (that the right is trying to erase) that offers hope for multicultural and multireligious thriving, but Muslims and Jews know exactly what Europe thinks of them and how many of either group Europe is willing to host. Fuck Europe.
Whatever the path to peace and justice wrt Israel/Palestine, Christians *demanding* that Jews throw themselves on Christian mercy as an alternative to Zionism is a wretched concept.

I understand this is not the point, but "white people" don't have a culture because IT'S NOT A THING.
The French have culture, English have culture, Ukrainians culture, Germans have culture, Americans have culture. "White people" is just lack of pigmentation.

This was the exact opposite under Biden, where the US economy was dramatically outperforming the rest of the world
The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

Cis people have had their chance to run Britain, and I think we can all agree they’ve made a right pig’s ear of it. It’s time for them to step aside and let someone else have a go.

maybe it’s just bc I’m mixed but I keep coming back to the electoral implications of supporting interracial marriage as a good analog for the electoral implications of trans rights.
up until literally the year I was born (1997), a majority of Americans openly disapproved of interracial marriage!
