the accusation that transphobia is a suppressed or repressed desire to lick the toilet seat - a new strategy for trans liberation?
November 18, 2025 at 10:10 PM
with my whole being i feel the need to say that she is waiting to lick the toilet seat and you have frightened her in case transsexuality is transmitted through that

oh NOW that you make it remotely interesting (read: grounded in reality i.e. losing vast amounts of not actually real money) i remember them
November 15, 2025 at 2:11 AM
my mistake it is BOTH of those things
November 15, 2025 at 2:10 AM
oh you’re saying “lightcone infrastructure” isn’t a start-up, it’s their plan for the observable universe? glorious
November 15, 2025 at 2:00 AM
always the bridesmaid…
November 15, 2025 at 1:59 AM
ok but how can they be as mad at Sneer Club as everybody knows they are and still pull that “ex-members” line (and don’t say “because David Gerard is SC”)

but WERE the streets (a) cleaner? (b) safer? violent crime has completely collapsed since the 1970s, for example
November 14, 2025 at 5:59 PM
beyond that, my other belief is that the trend of one cultural generation reacting violently against another ends in the 2000s, for the same reasons (proletarianisation and wealth stratification) that this trend emerged for most people in the 50s (relatively distributed income growth)
November 13, 2025 at 4:58 AM
(and fwiw i don’t buy The Economist’s much advertised analysis of Gen X’s income/wealth situation, as on example, at ALL))
November 13, 2025 at 4:47 AM
culturally, it’s now rare for people in the older generation to be frozen out of anything but the smallest youth scenes (think of white middle class millenial drill fans) in a way that i think has strongly been influenced by the way that emerging generations keep getting poorer
November 13, 2025 at 4:47 AM
in this way the experience of millenials, followed by gen z, is an extension of the trend you identify which perhaps begins with Gen X

i will indeed claim that the very experience of oppressive domination by an older generation indicates the incompleteness of the burgeoning hegemony
November 13, 2025 at 4:42 AM
i disagree with the conclusion drawn from otherwise very good points

my own experience wasn’t oppressive, and i’m arguing that the divergence in income/wealth along with other trends has created a hegemony not felt by Gen X (where some of the market was siloed off only for young people)
November 13, 2025 at 4:40 AM
(I’m 32, at the top end of the age of the generation who saw little difference between our own and our parent’s music, and the biggest difference between me and somebody growing up in the 1990s was that i grew up into a pop culture dominated by people older than me with more money)
November 13, 2025 at 1:58 AM
and finally, the material reason for all of this is the differentiation of generations by income and wealth (pace Mark Fisher)

the well-funded tastes of the older generation dominate the market where youth music once did, which is the background for young people listening to their parent’s music
November 13, 2025 at 1:56 AM
concurrently, the universal proletarianisation of everything includes most strata of the music business, so once again the idea of a big album comeback rather than a workaday touring schedule fades into the background
November 13, 2025 at 1:54 AM
i would reason that in the 1990s it was a statement for kids to get into records of their parent’s generation

that isn’t the case today: kids are eclectic about their taste and (by my direct observation!) cheerfully put 90s acts next to 2020s ones

there isn’t much room for a statement comeback
November 13, 2025 at 1:51 AM
perhaps i’m wrong and there’s a lot of other stuff being discussed, so that’s why i’m asking the question i’m asking

certainly in the spring there was a lot of talk about chromosome scanners and birth certificate stops at toilets, but that’s dropped off a lot in my perception
November 12, 2025 at 11:43 PM
i’d like to see more from legally minded people that can ground an affirmative complaint that the “biological sex” language, and the passport proxy, is simultaneously ineffective and bad law on deep principle (such as that it creates a very weird category which also disrupts equality before the law)
November 12, 2025 at 11:41 PM
sure, but i’m talking less about the GLP than discourse

everything i see written atm, no matter where (social media / publication) or what strategic imperative (popular resistance / legal perspective) says “ECHR misunderstands the law” which really isn’t enough!

we need a more affirmative messag!
