My radical hot take is that it’s actually about not misgendering trans men when you hook up. “You shall not lie down with a man as though they are a woman.”
In case you’re curious about what Leviticus 18:22 actually says. Here’s the Hebrew, and let’s break it down word by word.
וְאֶת־זָכָר לֹא תִשְׁכַּב מִשְׁכְּבֵי אִשָּׁה תּוֹעֵבָה הִוא
And with
a male
you shall not lie down [two words]
the acts of lying / the beds / the lying downs
of a woman
an abhorrence
it/she is

It cannot be overstated that the majority of abusers view themselves not as using a pattern of harm to seek power and control, but as responding to the harm of being denied something they are rightfully owed.

On Tuesday, the Texas Senate passed SB 37, which removes faculty oversight of the core curriculum, particularly humanities and social science courses (particularly History courses) AND strips university faculty senates of any real input in shared governance. www.texastribune.org/2025/04/10/t...
Texas Senate approves bill that could reshape how history and race are taught in state universities
An overhauled version of Senate Bill 37 would also allow anyone to file complaints that could lead schools to lose funds.

Incredibly, while Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana repeatedly refused to cover the surgeries of many, many women, the insurance company DID cover the surgeries of the wives of the insurance company's executives. #lalege
A jury awarded two New Orleans doctors who do breast reconstructive surgery $421m from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana after years of Blue Cross refusing to pay the doctors for procedures they had done, despite prior authorization. www.propublica.org/article/blue...
“Slow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”
Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

Trying to tech American history without referencing Slavery or Racism is like trying to teach English without using Nouns.
This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

There is a very real sense in which a lot of putatively progressive men, invested as much as their more-reactionary counterparts in the cult of masculinism and machismo, view fascists as aspirationally masculine and resent the "feminized" lefitst politics of care work and community-building.
it's fascinating to switch back and forth between the state of discourse here versus twitter. over on twitter the leftist bros are arguing that holocaust victims were just physically unfit and should have hit the gym more so they beat the nazis with macho power fantasy action scenes
