Can we stop saying "non-binary people are valid" please. "Non-binary people are non-binary" is the equivalent. Every time this is said at an event or by an org I and many of the other non-binary people I know cringe and feel immediately uncomfortable. People have been saying this for years.

the law nerd mind cannot fathom that their preferred set of made up rules doesn’t matter to these people lol

Do you know who I'm also surprised isn't going to Riyadh? Russell Brand. He seemed like a prime candidate.

Building community and cultivating independence are antithetical to this vulture machine of extracting wealth. Authenticity is the bedrock of community, it's the only way it can exist to create safety instead of predation. It's less about being on the side of trans folks, more about freedom for all.

They want to tell you how to live, how to dress, how to cut your hair. They want you to exist in neat little boxes of consumption and obedience that keep the machine they built running, so rich and powerful jerks can detach value from the people who create it and assign profit to men pulling levers.

The "trans debate" isn't a distraction, it's the first step in a plan to attack bodily autonomy, reproductive health, and efforts to establish equality. They want cis women to exist to make babies and say yes sir. They want cis men to compete to create heiracrchies of masculinity that benefit them.

They don't care about sports. They don't care about protecting all of us from predators. They don't give a shit about bathrooms. Patriarchy thrives on creating stifling boxes that force you to abdicate your autonomy until there is nothing left to do but follow the scripts they wrote. They want cogs.

Trans folks aren't dangerous, but our existence is absolutely a threat to anyone who wants to create a world where billionaires and megacorps have the power to tell everyone else to shut up and get in line. They can't or won't admit that so they demonize us and make you afraid. They profit from fear

Trans joy is inherently linked to bodily autonomy and freedom of expression, intertwined with the idea that you can choose authenticity over being a good drone for neofeudalism. That's why fascists are so hell bent on silencing our joy, muting our voices, and stripping our access to public spaces.

"cancel culture" was an overblown thing where some people got fired for sexually harassing their employees and others got yelled at on Twitter. The conservative version, which some claim as an inevitable counterbalance, is doxxing & death threats for making fun of self-proclaimed white supremacists.

sorry but it will never stop being funny to me that this got him fired

Fuckin yikes, man

trans people deserve to be boring and normal

If mil leaders don’t buy the message, they can keep quiet or self-select out. Those who don’t want to be part of politicized military (or agree w/ the ideology) leave. This aims to weed out committed professionals who strongly adhere to norms of nonpartisanship. 6/

The speeches are also a permission structure—or worse encouragement—to explicitly promote that world view in one’s unit and social networks. This too promotes ideological conformity. 5/

The framing, rhetoric & content of the speech signals that. This is not about enforcing standards (beards/fitness); it is about inculcating a particular value-system and world view within the officer corps. No one can miss or ignore that message, as it is being communicated directly to them. 4/

i hate unsolicited grifts that start out “you’re invited to apply/join” because they absolutely need me more than i need them and i’m tired of it sounding like they’re doing me a favor

I once again need to remind ya'll that some of us are born disabled. We do not have a "before" We've never known a life of not being disabled. We were born & raised disabled & in disability culture. Pls I beg stop leaving us out of convos. We have valuable knowledge for the community.

actually it's ok to look things up in the dictionary instead of blaming the author for using a word you didn't know learning is good

oh lmao so guess who got invited to the “girls only” comedian pool party this weekend 🫠

me when they call me a person instead of a woman 😌

Every time I watch any Pete Hegseth speech, it's clear the main audience for said speech is his own insecurities.

no one is more obsessed with gender than the freaks who say shit like this lol

i just find it fascinating that there are so many people who are like “well yeah it sucks about that famous journalist they chopped up and put in a suitcase with no repercussions but that would surely never happen to me, a clown”

Texas Tech isn't the only university system handing down chilling, verbal-only directives banning discussions about transgender identity. If this is happening at your institution, I want to know about it--reach me on Signal at emmawhitford.96 www.insidehighered.com/node/192421/...

Just a reminder that the shaving thing is because Black men are more likely to have curly facial hair that gets trapped under the skin causing pseudofolliculitis barbae. So they get a shaving waver so their faces don't burn. He got rid of the waiver

anyway it was interesting having discussions with some of my comedy friends about the implications and choices behind the riyadh comedy festival thing; it was super weird to listen to some of them openly salivate about getting paid half a million dollars by war criminals to tell their shitty jokes

back when i first started there was a variety open mic at a queer bar that doesn’t exist anymore (RIP guava lamp!!!!) that used to be so much fun because at least the gays know what’s up and the only one like that now i’ve been to once and no one at that bar is there for comedy lol

phew last night my best joke bombed so hard i clearly deserve the “nihilistic extremist threat” label for the crater it left in that room at 1:35am on a tuesday

Really wish we could calculate the number of rage hours spent on X by people reading the comments from, thinking about and arguing with bots built entirely to piss them off

Honestly, I do appreciate Japan and its cultural contributions to the world, but I am concerned that by inventing gender in 1997 with Revolutionary Girl Utena they may have done more harm than good.

@safety.bsky.app What kind of crack are yall smoking to have the AUDACITY to call this shit SAFE

If your Klein be Naomi, then listen, homie; But if your Klein be Ezra, disregard what he sezra

likely not live to see. And that's ok. When I was a wee thing and lived in France I got to see a monolithic cathedral. It's what it sounds like a cathedral carved out of a solid block of rock. It took centuries to carve. We've lost that kind of thinking / 3

And I've been thinking about that in relationship to climate change. And how this country struggles to act on climate change and is constantly seeking quick fixes and measures that will require no behavioral changes on their part. And that climate action today means changes in a future I will /2

I've been thinking about that Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates convo. Specifically, how Klein kept saying that Coate's pragmatism in positioning his work in line with those who came before him fighting for rights they knew were unlikely to come to fruition in their lifetimes was depressing /1

maybe it's cheesy, but I'd rather die fighting to survive and help others than run away and abandon who can't leave to die. I don't know if it's fair to ask others to have that attitude, but I don't think focusing on individual rather than community safety is the solution. most people can't run.

already lost one of my balls it hasn’t even been in my face for five hours lmao 😭

transitioning to a landlord so the state will finally care about me in a way that protects and serves both my interests and way of life 🥲

i actually think everything microsoft has done with EA should be illegal from start to finish but of course no one with the power to actually make that the case has any interest in pursuing it

Walmart nostalgia is Blockbuster nostalgia, to me. The things you liked about it were pale imitations of concepts they stole from the places they ran out of business. You don't like Walmart, you like the shadows of the things they destroyed

focusing on the wrong thing as always i just want to point out how patently absurd the idea of any civilian protestor “intimidating” a multibillion-dollar armed military force is on a conceptual level

"arrest everyone suspected of x," (first paragraph), you may be shocked to learn, isn't the legal standard for making arrests Notice her dangling $$ to LEA (third para) Per para 2, it looks like IL LEAs need to be extra super careful not to protect ICE (lest they find themselves conscripted)

well if international filmmakers weren’t avoiding our country like the plague already because of visa stuff this will certainly incentivize their already enormous risks to come here for or with anything 🫠

told them at the shop that it’s in the nonbinary rules that your septum has to be pierced

turns out my septum hole just needed a pointy little nudge to bring it back after 15 years 😌
