I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

I KNOW. “Protect women’s rights!” Just not those women. And not those rights.
I am constantly being called a ‘handmaiden’ for being trans-inclusive. And then they’re the ones water-carrying for the patriarchy…

Short-circuiting transphobes' arguments by directly cutting to their opposition to Morphological Freedom to invalidate their concern trolling is hilariously fun, if somewhat depressing.
Because it boils down to "We shouldn't have to respect you unless you obey us," in every case so far.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

The thing that is ultimately infuriating about these statements is I can compile a list of quotes from democratic party leaders saying exactly the opposite almost every week since 11/24 but they'll handwave it all away - "look what we poasted on TDOR!"
Today, we mourn the transgender Americans whose lives were lost to anti-transgender violence.
Democrats believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and to live their life fully and honestly.

For so long, they said gays & lesbians were freaks who must be suppressed & converted. They lost that fight.
Now they’re saying the same about trans people.
Like gays & lesbians, trans people have been in all societies forever. They’re part of the natural order. Deal with it.

I think about this a lot and I've convinced myself that (almost) none of our current emergency could happen without Roberts' blessing. For my money he's done more to hurt the US than anyone in the country's history by a pretty wide margin. He's way worse than Trump.
“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.”

Aside from anything, it might get ppl realising trans men exist and that, since we're seen as women, overruling our healthcare creates a direct line to overruling cis women's reproductive rights.
That's why Cass particularly went after young trans men, and also why the MSM consistently erase us.
