I think it's a little sad that it might need a cis man saying all the things trans researchers like @sexabolition.blog and @taliabhatt.itch.io have been saying to get cis people to listen. Yeah this is about the 5 hr video on 'Debunking Transphobia' www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiOc...

Anti-queer activists learned years ago that they could use trans participation in sports as a wedge issue to push otherwise supportive allies into their anti-trans camp.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Seriously: If you're a Democrat, this is the ground you have *won* on. being unequivocally pro trans rights is the easiest, no brainer popularist position to take. Every one of your constituents knows a trans person. This is a wedge issue between all the normal people and a few Republican fanatics.

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating.
This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens.
(Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn five-star safety rating in Europe

“the bureau of prisons is moving trans women to men’s prisons so they can be regularly raped as a means of simultaneously placating other inmates and punishing trans people for having the audacity to exist”
The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.
Federal prisons prep to move trans inmates as early as next week

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.
