“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

As history tells us, revolutions are when two competing ideals debate peacefully in the marketplace of ideals until one grants the other freedom
Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

Dear other queer authors:

Sapphic describes the relationship, not a character's identity. If you want to write a story about a woman falling in love with a man but the woman is bisxeual, market it as bisexual with a M/F relationship. Marketting it as sapphic is literally asking to upset readers.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

you can't excise trans people from society because transness is an emergent property of free will. if you divide the world up into men and women and say men do this and women do that, some people are going to say that sucks, fuck you, i do what i want. it doesn't get more complicated than that

Very weird to ask professors to both research and teach. “Hey, introvert who communes with rocks/microbes/people who died centuries ago - could you also perform up here on stage for several hours to an audience who doesn’t want to be there? Thanks!”

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

A linear type is never leaked, nor is it used after free. It is deallocated precisely when it means to.

When something is for "Women" but assumes they are "female", it's likely trans women are excluded.

If that's your goal, why not say "cis women" and be clear?
If it's not, maybe avoid that phrasing?
