My opinion on Emma Watson's statement on J. K. Rowling is can we stop centering the opinions and feelings of famous cis people in conversations about trans eradication for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES?

I know we on the project volunteered to keep our identities off the individual stories but it's been a year and also things have only gotten worse so let me tell you
Writing this comic last year and having every single god damn thing come to pass at this point is just
Fuck, man. I'm so tired.

![Panel 1
Lucy sits on a cot in a prison, hugging herself in despair.
LUCY:
That means that any trans person talking about their transition could be imprisoned. Every statement about our lives, a potential offense.
LUCY:
Hell, the story you’re reading right now would qualify.
Panel 2
Lucy stands behind a counter with a cash register in front of her, ready to scan a bag of chips on the conveyer belt. She looks annoyed and exhausted.
LUCY:
Next. “Rescind regulations prohibiting discrimination on the basis of […] gender identity, transgender status, and sex characteristics.” Page 584.
LUCY:
Paired with page 495, “a general statement of policy specifying that it will not enforce any prohibition on […] gender identity discrimination” it paints a picture.
LUCY:
Discrimination towards trans people at places like their jobs will be fully legal, leaving us open to unmitigated harassment and hate.
Panel 3
Lucy is curled up in a ball, looking small, looking like she’s just finished crying her eyes out and is just empty.
LUCY:
Page 485. “Withdraw all guidance encouraging Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program service providers to provide controversial “gender transition” procedures or “gender-affirming care”.
LUCY:
Page 462. “Fund studies into the short-term and long-term negative effects of crosssex interventions, including “affirmation,” puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries.”
LUCY:
Page…take your pick. There’s a dozen more.
Panel 4
Lucy, still running on empty, holds a vial of Estradiol in her fingers and stares at it. It’s nearly empty.
LUCY:
By cutting federal funding from any medical facility that offers trans healthcare, and standing against it as official policy…
LUCY:
Hormones and gender care will become almost impossible to find. For those of us who are already on them, it’ll wreak havoc.
LUCY:
Our mental health. Our bodies. Damage that will ruin lives. And for trans folks who can no longer produce a safe level of hormones…
Panel 5

"Can't you uppity transes compromise with the eradicationists who at every step have indicated they want you erased from the social fabric"
I'm so glad you said this, because about 30 seconds ago, I published a newsletter piece detailing how conservatives have dump-trucked through all of the previously established common sense, nuanced, compromise positions on trans rights to get here: burns-notice.ghost.io/what-would-t...

I often point to the anti-video game moral panic of the 2000s and its lack of research, knowledge, care, and good reporting, as a measuring stick that cis people can use to understand how the anti-trans moral panic works right now
In 2006, Rule of Rose had quite the troubled time getting published in Europe. It all started in October from Italian magazine Panorama, which denounced the perverted content in the game (that wasn't there). The article was also mostly plagiarized from an online review.
It didn't end there🧵

There's something deeply unpleasant about an org which claims to be censoring games 'for the sake of women' going after creatives (many of whom are women) and trying to wrench their livelihoods away

i will note one thing is different this time: there is a much, much more universal understanding about who the enemy is. back then, all the backlash fell on tumblr—which allowed the real culprits, Apple, to get off basically scot-free. i'm glad we finally have our eyes on the payment processor ball
i think at least once a week about the timeline where we managed to fight back against the tumblr porn ban hard enough to fix it. in hindsight, it really was the harbinger of what was to come. it should've been the line in the sand

everyone should be safe in public spaces. ideally everyone should also FEEL safe in public spaces! but if your discomfort is based on being racist or homophobic or not wanting to see a homeless guy or a mentally ill person, none of whom are a threat to you, i don't really care how safe you feel.

I cannot do enough to stress how much money the executive class simply helps itself to, and how much it really is just that - helping themselves.
Once again I say - the problem with “AAA” game dev is not “games are too expensive to make.”
It’s that game execs are too expensive to pay.

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago
Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart
To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL

In general noticing that scapegoating trans people is just slightly downstream of Democratic hunger for a "masculine" brand, a "leftist Joe Rogan," Gavin Newsom's all-male podcast, and apparently a verified sex pest as mayor of New York
Haven’t seen this reported yet: in a speech to supporters posted to TikTok last week, NYC mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo said he believes that Democrats lost in 2024 because “we’re talking about bathrooms and who’s gonna play in what [sports] team”
