The general panic raised over trans people pushes other issues aside, justifies increased state repression and curtailing of rights. People believing that this is about "protecting the children" makes them more likely to support these measures, even though they also affect them.

This redirects rising anger over economic hardships away from them and towards a group that can be easily misrepresented. Queerness is spun into a general narrative of decline, which is associated with a weak nation, which has to be brought back on the track of "law & order".

The truly radical aspect of queerness is that it questions and destabilizes hetero-patriarchal relations, which are one of the pillars of capitalist society. If you were wondering why the current economic crisis is accompanied by increased attacks on queer people, that's why.

If you deny Israel is committing genocide, you are as much in denial of reality as a climate denier. You are, however, far more depraved.

86% of the world’s genocide experts have declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel made its genocidal intent clear from day one. It then committed genocide in full view of the world. Nobody with power or influence can say they didn’t know at the time.

2/2 Risen Christ stepping right over the sleeping guards, by Taddeo Gaddi.

2/2 Another trompe l'oeil niche in the Baroncelli Chapel, Sta. Croce, by Taddeo Gaddi. In 1328!

Trompe l'oeil niche w/ elements for celebration of the Eucharist, painted on wall of the Baroncelli Chapel, church of Sta. Croce, Florence, in 1328. By Taddeo Gaddi. It's his day today.

Yes.

At some point, our society will need to stop ignoring this injustice.
