Right wing men having an absolute disdain for women isn't gay, please stop reheating this joke, it's starting to form some really nasty chemicals.

btw the reason that transphobia is such a good canary in the coal mine for other rancid views is that transphobia is essentially a conspiracy theory and, via crank magnetism, once you accept its basic tenets you’re going to be open to a lot more
i hope we all noticed how quickly we went from ‘record all offenders by assigned sex at birth’ to ‘report on the ethnicity of all offenders’
once again asking what would be different if we had a Reform government

there is absolutely nothing more popular than blaming patriarchy on patriarchy's victims

the urge to absolve straight men as a group of all forms of power, violence, hate, or abuse & blame it instead of some form of deviance from or gendered inferiority to cishet masculinity (which must remain above reproach & never be criticized for its role in society) must be truly overpowering

Perhaps the moral of the story is to take racism seriously.

Ok so one is clearly worse than the other but “i am proud of my US military service” and “i have a nazi tattoo” are basically the same message

only the magnitude is really different

all i know is that normalizing debate with fascists has only facilitated the rise of fascism.

Unpopular opinion: Donald Trump is the logical and inevitable result of white supremacist carceral thinking. Any malign actor who has studied American history would have Trump's understanding of what the law actually punishes, and what the law merely proscribes without ever being enforced.

it's kind of like when someone you love dies. when it's a car accident out of nowhere it crushes you in a different way than when it's the outcome of a terminal illness, but. it crushes you either way
I expected a lot of what we're experiencing (and to be real, for some bad things to happen more quickly than they have), but I still wasn't emotionally prepared for all of this, because some things will fuck you up, even if you know they're coming—like folks living in fear and needlessly suffering.
Does anyone feel like they were prepared, emotionally and intellectually, for the current political moment? There are certain things I was ready for (convergence of local and border policing), but for example the rise of granola fascism (RFK and COVID reaction) kind of blindsided me

I didn’t expect trump to win in ‘16 but I don’t think i’ve been surprised by anything since. I think it’s because I was paying attention to evangelicals; I don’t think anyone who was has been suprised

the argument that AI in the context of art is “just a tool” completely elides the fact that the point of art is to participate in the fucking process of making it

Go fuck yourselves.

I, Talia Bhatt, have never touched a doctor-prescribed hormone, because the particularities of my circumstances and the hostility of the regimes I suffered under made it impossible. My community saved me.

Do not abandon your sisters, you fucking cowards.
so they banned discussion of HRT from r/mtf it appears

Unfortunately for the cis, transition care actually works.
Back in the early 2000s, I changed my sex. Since then, an awful lot of people have spoken for me, claiming that no trans person says you can change your sex. But I did.

So there.

i regret to inform you that you will simply never be able to craft a coherent vision of queer liberation without feminism, no matter how much you want to leave women out of your visions of a sexually free world

sexual violence is THE key operative mechanism of patriarchal enforcement & regulation of bodies, "penetrability," and sexuality/the heterosexual regime. queer oppression is more than thwarted desire. sexual freedom must begin with body autonomy & freedom from coercion

The most pernicious thing about monsters like howard is the way they think they’re normal
Beyond it not being how people in Gaza act (literally yesterday I had a man in Gaza risk his life to acquire and deliver formula for a woman he did not know there and refused money from me for doing it)- is that it doesn’t excuse anyone from treating with compassion the people asking

I guess this is what billionaire creeps think normal-people-problems are? It's all stuff a secretary would do for an exec, deeply sad disconnection from life, or bizarre ass-pulls like "uh, it will get a job for you. Picking which job you want is the hard part right??"
I’m convinced that people like Zuckerberg do not get/actively dislike what it means to be human and are determined to inflict their terrifyingly inhuman fantasies of technology controlling our lives on the entirety of humanity

this is how a normal new-age health guru talks tbh, that’s a hateful reactionary movement already. even if they hide the hate, eugenics is at the heart of newage health nonsense and always has been
RFK Jr talks like a new age health guru, but most of his views are garden-variety hateful reactionary. He wants people with HIV to die as punishment. Same thread runs though his positions on Medicaid, vaccines, opioid treatment, psychiatric meds, etc: you deserve to suffer, it's God's will.
The Trump administration is phasing out support of HIV clinical guidelines, which affect what tests, treatments and medications are covered by insurance companies and Medicare www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Something the Skrmetti decision drives home: "Puberty blockers" should be abandoned as a goal; the goal should be HRT for any minor that wants it; puberty blockers should be a tool for minors who choose themselves they need more time to decide and *nothing else*.

Compromising achieved nothing, here

I don't particularly care for choice feminism. It would be nice if we could spend more time helping women actually empower themselves to directly challenge our oppression whether it be artistically or in organizing, instead of just saying nothing a woman does could ever be anti-feminist.

exactly. even if a Harry Potter fan only created aggressively trans fan art, they’d still be feeding Rowling’s IP machine.

JKR is so ideologically committed to bigotry that she decided to convert a money printer into a meat grinder so she can use it against queer & trans people.
