There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.
Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

This constantly gets brought up in response to AI criticism. No one objects to these applications. They object to the consumer facing dreck that's being marketed to us as groundbreaking and forced onto our devices.
In Phase I medicine trials, AI-discovered molecules are more successful than historic industry averages. In software it can be very useful writing functions, creating unit tests and in general freeing up coders to focus on the more interesting work. There is a baby in that bath water.

i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are
Minutes ago, the Trump admin revoked the sensitive locations policy that prevented ICE from carrying out enforcement arrests inside churches, hospitals, and schools.

If you won't break the law to protect people, get the fuck out of the way.
Dear cishet White citizens:
There's a very real possibility that Queers, Immigrants and trans people will need you (not you specifically, the royal "you") to break the law for them, at some point.
I hope you're prepared for that, for all our sakes.

Some Dems have this visceral urge to respond to batshit GOP ideas with "Of course I'll consider that!"
They think it makes them sound reasonable. But it actually just makes MAGA sound reasonable. It's a strategic self own.
