Trans folks have now been responsible for the word of the year for 2 of the last 3 years.

Juniper did goblin mode in 2022 and Jools did demure this year.

We run the culture.

Dictionary.com has named its word of the year, and it isn’t ‘brat’ | CNN
“Demure,” a word that went viral over the summer, has been named Dictionary.com’s 2024 word of the year –– beating out other contenders like “brainrot,” “brat,” and “weird.”

Headlines like this keep me still hopeful.

Now everyone in the nation will see the anti trans laws and will go through it with us, many for the first time.

Maybe, just maybe, they’ll be turned off too.

Now with all the energy of a mid-late 90s US fantasy TV series: Phantasy Star IV!

There is a charm to it though; can see it being a Hercules/Xena-style show with this kind of aesthetic.

1. News broke last night that Trump could be considering a Day One transgender military ban, potentially discharging 15k troops.

SPARTA, the leading trans military advocacy org, says that decision could cost $18b, in an exclusive interview.

I genuinely believe that America should be dissolved into smaller countries, for the entirely non-partisan reason that I think its too big for our system to work effectively lol.
Even though also my home state would probably be awful as a country.

I continue to hold the position that it was never about sports, and that capitulation on sports only makes it more likely that we get further restrictions.

There is very good evidence in states that this is the case.

Read my article on this topic here:

Opinion: The Trans Sports Attacks Were Never About Sports
Attacks on transgender participation in sports was never about sports, and always about getting people comfortable with discriminating against transgender people.

This reporting reveals two things:

1) The NYT is, as always, transphobic as hell.

but also...

2) Seth Moulton envisions a "grand bargain" of trading away sports for healthcare rights.

The big fear will be, Dems trade away sports now and continue to run on an equality act that never passes.

I think part of the thing going on here is the weight threshold for social opprobrium is below the weight threshold for significant health issues issues, especially if you're a woman
It's okay to be fat, and it's okay if fat people don't want to be fat anymore. There are real QOL issues associated with being overweight, and they increase non-linearly the more overweight you are.
