RE Roisin Murphy and transphobia:

It really really sucks that my literal favourite (until recently) artist has blocked me on her Insta (I assume because I liked a few trans flag comments).

I wonder what the Venn diagram would be between:

- reactionary Sabrina Carpenter pearl-clutchers
- People who bragged in the 2010s about being "fluent in sarcasm"

I've been feeling generally uneasy. I feel like this unease exists in a way that I can't express without coming across as... pompous?

There's something unsettling about how people in general are becoming exponentially more self-conscious, but without an equal amount of self-awareness, I think?

There is way too much sp*rts on my Bluesky discover feed 😔

Just thinking about a particular excuse that people have for transphobia - the one where the term "person who menstruates" somehow is bad for cis women ... 🧵
