The GOP has ruined Iowa. And they'll somehow find the will to whine about the brain drain they've worked so hard to cause.

The real difference isn't about "medically transitioned people" vs "non-transitioned people". It's about those who root their trans politics in survival vs those who are more concerned with a weirdly online discourse politics that prizes language, shibboleths, "validity", identity etc.

I think my big take is that it's right to note that attacks on transition are central to the anti-trans project and that queer theory models of "transgender" that decentre transition as a necessity are full of shit.

Yeah, I’m tired of the “oppressed person who wants to tear down the system” villian trope. Make them the hero. FYI, Nimona is a great movie version of that if you’re looking for one.
