I cannot describe to those of you who are cis what it feels like to log in to youtube and see this as the first recommended video.

I cannot even begin to approach an explanation of what it feels like.

Question for trans people. An organizer is putting together a major event in Montana. It is pointed out to them that this is maybe not a safe place for their trans attendees. Their response is attached.

Do you feel like your concerns would be allayed?

Event runs in May 2025.

Gods I hate capitalist propaganda disguised as work advice.

If you have a bad boss, corroborate it with your coworkers. _Talk about it_. You have a right to do so and you _should_ do so.

What, CNN, exactly is surprising about this?

Also calling it a "little known movement that's gaining momentum" is burying the lede. "Boosting birthing rates" for [white, or whatever equivalent] people is one of the oldest pages out of the fascism playbook.

Oh. _Absolute_ cowards. Not even _trying_ to be anything other than craven.

This is a very quick way to get me to dismiss your entire organization.

Given Trump's recent declaration that he thinks MSNBC and CNN are "illegal" I think it would be a good time to point out this LARP about news broadcasting in a totalitarian state.

This, in response to someone talking about the internal conditions of the Washington Post, is not praxis.

What exactly do you think this kind of post is doing, mate?

Glad to know our lives carry such little value in the United States.

I know women's sizes are BS and based on a combination of a random number generator and a star chart or whatever, but it's been a hot second since I've seen a new one that seems to be derived from the 1971 guide for a 5'4" women out in the wild.

lol.

This one isn't quite as good as the time "Zuckerberg" "personally" wanted to give me money and included a photoshopped version of a driver's license (which was very incorrect, IIRC I sent the scammer his actual mailing address and he vanished), but it's still like…

how obvious can you get?

I love ladder lacing, but it is such a PITA to do properly.

The actual AMA CoE code governing this is probably Opinion 1.1.5 as well as Principle III, but I want to see if there's case law/examples before yelling at them.

Because it is _not_ illegal. The EO threatens _funding_, and that's not considered anywhere in the AMA guidance that I can find.

Today in therapy my therapist asked about my coping strategies right now.

I said that five minutes before our appointment I had been reading the Queer Nation Manifesto, if that gave her any idea.

This passage has been on my mind for the last week and a half.

Visibility is a weapon.

This is covered in the book.

It's not called a "force-feminizing torture basement" for nothing and the education is extremely harsh and normative, but once you are through the programme you are through with only a few obligations around secrecy and can do what you like.

lol.

I need a bæddel score: the number of times I get called or grouped with "bæddels" despite never having used that word to describe myself.

Given that it is often used as a slur for "trans women" (no other modifiers), my score would be quite high.
