One of the first of Epstein's victims to come forward was a trans woman and they made it about her transness instead of the heinous crime itself (htt @imgwendy@threads.net).
One of Epstein's underage victims was a trans woman, but nobody paid attention because she was trans and Latina. The New York Post and The Times of Israel even ran hit pieces on Ava Cordero like these. Epstein's lawyers had her 2007 suit dismissed for exceeding the statute of limitations. The lawyer also claimed Epstein wasn't gay and thus Ava must have been lying. I often think about how Epstein could have been stopped sooner if society listened to POC, trans people, or girls.

[selfie, eye contact]

The effects are least visible in my face, I think. Both because of my facial structure and because I simply can't not have facial hair. I shave and it's back in a couple of hours. The rest of my body very much shows the effects […]

Selfie of a mostly male-presenting androgynous person (me) with artificial bokeh effect applied by cell phone camera. I have a side-cut, blue eyes, beard stubble and brownish hair with blonde highlights. I'm wearing a black t-shirt and a grey undershirt that can be seen around the collar.

RIP Miss Major
Drawing by Abprallen in pastel colors showing a skeleton in front of a grave holding flowers, the gravestone showing a transgender symbol but with the central circle instead shaped like a heart. Similar heart-based lesbian and gay symbols are also seen on gravestones in the background. The text on the top reads "I am only here because you were here before me"

FYI if you're in the US - you can probably get an updated vaccine. I'm waiting on the updated version of the vaccine and apparently so is Nevada (this map makes it look worse than the reality; the situation should be rectified by next month).
Map showing where vaccines are available in US states. Most states are "available without a prescription" and a handful of states, most of which GOP-lead are "need a prescription" and Nevada is "currently unavailable"

On an ig story where Lorde says "If I'm going to be a woman I want to be exactly the kind of woman that I need to be. Part of that is sometimes being a man."

Imagine saying "I disagree" to someone's self-description. It's so weird to me that people still […]

Comment on an IG story with one person saying "I disagree with this statement. I believe gender roles should be abolished. People should have the freedom to do whatever they want without associating actions or identities with being a woman or a man." And the following replies to this comment: "🙌 the discourse is just so stiff and binary" "This." "thiss like people are only trans because gender was established. i don't think so many ppl would go through medical transition or have gender dysphoria if we were all just seen as humans with different body parts from the beginning of time and there were no expectations of each sex"

The latest youth risk map from @erininthemorning.com

I just argue with some blue maga including a gay podcast host who knows Newsom. People knee-jerk reacted to a headline about concerns with Newsom instead of responding to the substance. They keep trying to […]

This photo is boring yet it's one of my favorite photos from the last time I was in Japan. Just captures the vibe of the area my in-laws' place is at, in a rural area right across from the 7/11. Toward the left you can see an Udon restaurant because they're everywhere in Kagawa-ken.

I am infamously a fan of the original mp3.com. It was like a predecessor to bandcamp. After the lawsuit unfortunately forced it out of existence, it became some third-rate music news website that no one cared about. Apparently the domain name has been up for […]

This perfectly describes the way so many pundits obviously think. Because they interpret the whole rest of the world through electoral politics, they can only conceive of activism in the form of logrolling and rationing political capital.

Post on bsky by Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social “He’s wrong but this is an incredibly common elite pathology: the belief that your voice should be held strategically in reserve, to strike at the right moment and change everything. Then they do and it's washed away by the firehose of noise. I call it Jim Mattis Syndrome.”

It doesn't matter how reasonable (or not) Klein & McBride were, the headline writer decided the still for this would imply some cancel culture nonsense and most people just interact with headlines and previews.

Blue haired wojak woman on left saying "nooo you can't be a gay trans person in a relationship with a cis het person! You're invalidating eachother's identities!" with a chad trans woman saying "haha human sexuality and relationships being complicated go brrrr." Next to chad trans woman is trad wife wojak, implying that she's her significant other.

I also a little bit have a problem with people being absolutist about this. Because what if a straight man wants to stay with his trans husband? Maybe hard logic applied to squishy subjective things is the problem, not a habit that can be reformed.

Okay I had to. I made a fucking meme about that.

Incidentally if I go by Tommy/Tomi like I sometimes do in Japanese (トミ) it looks cool in Mayan glyphs because the "mi" totally looks like someone doing 🤔
Mayan syllabaric glyphs spelling to-mi. The one on the left, to, kind of looks like a crown but really unsure what it is. The one on the right, mi, looks like a silhouette of a man with his hand on his chin like he's thinking (but in this different cultural context, it could have meant something totally different), with some visible jewelry and tattoos.

I just remembered about this show when I was a kid called "Weinerville" and they would "weinerize" two kids from the audience at the end of each episode.
