conceding to far right ideas about the structure of society is conceding to a zero sum vision of the world, and more importantly giving voters a choice between two zero sum visions, where one is half hearted and the other is full throated. is it really a surprise then they choose the latter?

Like critical race theory, “gender ideology” is both a bogeyman for the right and a backlash to social progress.
The right’s gripe isn’t just that trans people exist, but that their existence is tearing down the old world—of good men and obedient women—and unleashing a new, godless age of chaos.

How the right uses "gender ideology" to blame trans people for everything
MAGA learned from global autocrats the language needed to push fear.

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

Yep. So, we can either accept that all men* want to have sex with teens or we can make that a hideously uncomfortable feeling for those that do. It’s like normalizing all forms of non- consensual sex.
*obviously not all men, many men find the idea disgusting.
