Transphobia is top-down, billionaire-funded and orchestrated by professional provocateurs
Trans acceptance is grassroots and hugely popular

The term “biological male/female” is a political term, and is not recognised by any medical experts, studies or organisations. But that hasn’t stopped the transphobic media and government interjecting it into common usage 😒

Many people are saying.
The entire trans panic is an elite affectation that violently and deliberately misreads the willingness of the general public to go along with it.

Transphobia is a luxury belief. Yes, ordinary people are often ambiently transphobic, but they have bigger things to worry about. The true believers are wealthy, powerful, influential, and face no real hardship that would force them to prioritize issues that affect them.
They genuinely don't have anything better to do. These are not people capable of great things. That she was so capable, that trans people can attain successes they must win with lies & slander, gnaws at them. Even when they win, for them it has no savor

I loathe grammar checkers. I don’t want you to mark ‘hard’ as an error because I could have used ‘difficult’; I want you to spot typos, missing words and mistaken words and THAT IS FUCKING IT.
Proofing takes a hundred times longer than it should because all the tools want to be smart. Eat shit.

Dit is een absoluut vernietigende grafiek.
Verkijk je niet: dit is NIET het percentage hoge functies waar een vrouw zit. Dit is het percentage bedrijven waar vrouwen minstens 40% van de hoge functies hebben. Zonder seksisme zou dat ieder bedrijf lukken.
In Nederland haalt 12% van de bedrijven dit.

Is Zwarte Piet racistisch? Vraag dat maar aan de neonazi's.
Het wordt inderdaad hoog tijd dat we zwart geschminkte pieten op gaan vatten als strafrechtelijk vervolgbare aanzet tot racisme tegen zwarte mensen. Want meestal is het bewust zo bedoeld.

Eens. Als je na 15 jr uitleg dat een zwarte piet racistisch is nu nog steeds vindt dat je je zwart moet schminken als Piet ben je, behalve ongelofelijk kinderachtig, gewoon bewust aan het provoceren. En verdien je een strafblad.

You cannot match the size and resources of these organizations that are abandoning trans youth and sacrificing trans lives, but you have one advantage they do not: an ability to maintain a relentless focus upon them.

Our political scale has been distorted & propagandized by the corrupt elite to make basic empathy a radical political ideology.
But it's not.
Our barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long.
That's how we got here: being conditioned into hyper individuality.
