Thinking about how one of the first Epstein victims was trans and got relentlessly mocked in the media when she spoke up www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/when...
When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation
The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

Because the NPR piece and a lot of other coverage didn't mention the catholic bishops' conference vote total on banning trans healthcare at the church's hospitals:

206 in favor, 8 abstained, 7 against

The catholic church hierarchy is overwhelmingly against life-saving trans healthcare.

Jetzt ist der Beweis öffentlich: Die CDU hat einen Abwahlantrag gegen die Oberbürgermeisterin von Niesky eingebracht. Dazu hat sie die Unterschriften von AFD und einen bekannten Neonazi eingesammelt. Deutlicher kann eine Kooperation mit gesicherten Rechtsextremisten nicht sein. 1/3

The mistake that the Senate Dems are making is that they think they are playing a game that will be repeated in the future-in which case, the optimal course of action is compromise. But the Trump regime is doing all it can to ensure this is the last cycle under the Constitutional order.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I may hate Senate Democrats more today than Nick Fuentes hates women.

A good deal of my time spent on the beach at Jökulsárlón is trying to capture waves hitting icebergs, without the iceberg moving (and being blurred). Occasionally it all comes together :)

Because I love outdoor swimming, women and inclusion (not in any order of preference). This just makes sense to me
🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.

Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

Which is true for trans kids too.
Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”
