There is no such thing as “The West.” This idea of an unbroken chain of intellectual and civilizational genealogy that includes Ancient Greece, but not, somehow, the Inquisition or the medieval divine right of kings is top-to-bottom bullshit on its face.
Western Civilization aint that great, tbh.
I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going.

Things are changing, y’all.

"agony aunt" is a truly wild phrase and if you didn't know what it meant you would never ever come to the meaning on your own.

Renée Richards played in the U.S. Open as a man in 1972 and as a woman, post-op, in 1977

Trans people were a staple of daytime talk shows, soap opera characters, and advice columns like Dear Abby explained the difference between cross-dressing and trans humanely, so they’re memory-holing the past.

The best time to learn all these unspoken norms and cues is in adolescence, when everyone else is learning them. Transitioning later forces you to do it on a delayed timeline, when people assume you should already know these things and interpret newness/awkwardness as something wrong with you

The stealth transphobic rhetoric simultaneously argues;

1. That younger people must wait to know they are sure
2. That older people have waited too long to transition and be socially accepted.

The end game is the elimination of trans people.
Alternatively, if you come out as a child with the support of your parents, you are able to experience this adjustment within a context of loving support. Plus your appearance is pretty easy to adjust, bc young people look more alike.

They're calling HRT a "sex-rejecting procedure" now. I guess that means my wife gives me HRT every night!

As we speak, there are people reunited with their families because of the law. They're not rounding errors.

The rule of law is under a sustained assault now, yes. That's not the same as it being *dead.*

None of this should be happening in the first place, no, but the answer isn't to give up.

bleary eyes, empty drafts folder, can't lose
I will say drafts are for cowards. Post hard. Post fast. Leave a terribly unthought-out corpse.
v1.116 is rolling out now!

For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

"What is it about the gates of hell that compels people to wander into them?"
Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?

Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.
