56 year old USian trans woman. Sapphic. Kinky. Very tired and very scared. Oh, and angry. So angry. I block like I'm getting paid for it. I do not automatically follow back. Deeply suspicious of cis het people, especially cis het men.

I really don't know how to cope with the fact that Conservatives are very obviously acting in bad faith, to an almost cartoonish extent.
But the very responsible liberals who assure us all constantly about how smart they are just don't care to see it.

Humans are not sexually dimorphic, meaning that people fall neatly into ‘XX’ (female) and ‘XY’ (male). Humans are bimodally distributed around XX and XY configurations but there are many other possibilities including XXY, XYY, XO (a null chromosome), and others.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them.
There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”.
You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not.
People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.
