Er, Swedish speakers, what’s “punktmarkering och digital fotboja” supposed to mean? Because since it’s pitched for CHILDREN BETWEEN 6 AND 12YO surely it can’t be the prison-esque electronic tagging surveillance it seems to translate to, right

I really *urgently* need trans discourse to stop indulging the “I don’t want a man in the women’s bathroom” via passing because that is a losing game. I don’t want you caveating it at the end of the thread, I want you to refuse to engage altogether, you’re playing the wrong game

I wish this also got into Langston since he’s maybe the most explicitly spiritual character in the roster of weirdoes; that aside, neat little piece

As a glasses-wearer who favors large frames for comfort reasons (otherwise I look under them when doing precision work and destroy what’s left of my eyesight) I am not sure this whole “YEAH LET’S YANK AND BREAK THE SPY GLASSS ON SIGHT” thing is a great idea, folks

Yes yes the UK clowns are using the same playbook for ADHD medication as they did for puberty blockers but if you paid ANY FUCKING ATTENTION EVER you’d have noticed how profoundly ableist the ROGD half of the panic was and anticipated this ages ago

It has been zero days since the last time I linked The MCAS Primer(TM) to someone and got a “why do I check this many boxes” type answer

If I can find your “rare unsurfaced material” with twenty seconds of googling and it’s on a youtube channel with the artist’s wallet name yet you did not link it, I’m going to suspect you’re in it for the clicks and not the craft appreciation.

Today in “am I the only one who can read”, the local LGBTQIA+ center is doing a thing partnering with the kind of feminist org that proudly goes “+ de thunes - de burnes” (translates to “more money fewer balls”) and thinks it’s off the hook because it says “women and gender-marginalized people”

Sure love how no anglo ever mentions union-busting on the long list of Spotify’s numerous crimes because it did not get covered in English and they are tragically uncurious.

This - and like, I could understand it MAYBE from orgs where shutting down == a ton of people die, but. Girl guiding? Seriously?
And call me a fool but what if orgs banded together to resist this lawfare as a unified block maybe instead of rolling over

Repeatedly, charities have chosen to cooperate with the ongoing exclusion of trans people from public life rather than take a serious risk to defend us. They will survive this shit. We fucking won't. Girl guiding or the People's History Museum or whatever get to do on. We die alone.

So I’m guessing the “but what if abled people take advantage of accommodations” crowd is masking consistently, testing regularly and watching air quality to avoid making more disabled people, right? Since they’re clearly so very concerned about not misusing resources or some bullshit

Their strategy is to do it as much as possible, as often as possible, even with small numbers, to make it difficult to counter them. I’m definitely not going to go near the city center for a while, since it doesn’t feel safe for anyone, especially foreigners.

For those outside Sweden who are too lazy to use the translate function: Nazis marched unimpeded and without a permit last weekend, including the extremely dangerous organization where our immigration minister’s son is a member. And they’re planning to do it again this weekend.

If you were wondering whether Reem Alsalem (UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls) has stopped being an anti-trans (and anti-porn and anti-surrogacy) piece of shit, the answer is no
