I am a 36 year old woman (1989, baby) and these lyrics are really, really bad. And I like some other TS albums, so I am not some anti-TS propagandist.
I cannot believe a 55 year old man cares enough about the lyrics in a young women’s song that he’d post about it online. Cool. ✌🏼

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Pro-natalism makes me want to have children even less. My desire to give birth is in the deep negatives.

Things I don’t recommend for an individual’s health and sanity: filing claims with your home, auto, and health insurance all within 4 months. I could never speak to an insurance adjuster ever again and would be so, so pleased.

Thanks for being an excellent advocate for reproductive care for all!
Adenomyosis, the 'silent illness' plaguing their lives, goes undiagnosed for decades
This 'silent disease' plagued these women's lives for decades. One woman lost her dream job. For another, the diagnosis came after her hysterectomy.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

I would like to read an essay about how anti Me Too backlash is central to understanding what Democratic elites and journalists mean when they talk about the party becoming “too left.” They will never say it out loud, but it’s 100% there.
It doesn’t get addressed in most assessments of Democrats’ run to the right and antagonism of their base, but part of that strategy has been the abandonment of Me Too and its moral authority—and the unwillingness to go on the attack over stuff like this.

The faith-based organizations receiving these funds to serve survivors of human trafficking are often not accredited and have no training, which is why they are able to file papers and then be named in legislation two months later with no data or proof of services.
NEW: The move to funnel $15 million for sexual assault survivors through a GOP-controlled commission is part of a pattern by the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature and judiciary to deprive elected Democrats of resources and powers.

By @dougbockclark.bsky.social
A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price.
The move, which led to disruptions in services for sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, provides a glimpse of the consequences when a branch of government assumes unprecedented control.

Grateful to have been interviewed for this USAToday article on adenomyosis. Also grateful to have a doctor who advocates for my health and has agreed to provide this surgery while I am still of childbearing age. 1/3
