the main character? im nobody im literally just a tiny account with an opinion but a hoard of stupid bitches are using me for clout rn remember this when you're looking at the piles of bodies because this is what you spent your time doing. Being a dumb cunt farming clout online.

I think its insane that you cant talk about politics at all without a bunch of the dumbest black women the internet could drum up to show up and call you stupid and then call you racist when you dont tolerate that kind of annoying bullshit. This is why BLM failed its why Occupy failed too.

There is only suicide left for liberals. There is no other place to go. Its either the slow suicide of living under the fascism they tolerate, or the quick one where they jump off a bridge. Idc which it is anymore. We can't bind our society to the whims of these losers anymore.

most milquetoast factual take that you can say and there is just an endless stream of people who havent read anything related to this calling me stupid

Neoliberals on this site are so funny how they outright refuse to talk to anyone. They are just angry little drones that call you stupid as they say something factually wrong and then they block you before you can say anything back to them.

One thing I always hate about Food Discourse is that dietary restrictions are real and potentially life threatening if disregarded and yet most people consider them impolite fads or choices. Our refusal to accept, let alone accommodate, dietary restrictions is one of the most ableist things we do.

If you're still talking about electoral politics, especially in the way its filtered through mainstream news, you are an idiot. You are literally uneducated on the political situation in this country, and bc of that you are incapable of accurately talking about it, let alone offering solutions.

One of the reasons its so hard to organize is because foreigners engage directly in our politics at every level. Like stupid Canadians who think electing Harris would have been some sort of slam dunk victory against this fascism. Just utterly ignorant noise that distracts actual issues.

"The queer community" as it is contemporarily defined doesn't like transsexual women, and you will spend all your time qualifying yourself to people who would push you into traffic if you need that approval.

i'd like to add to the pile-on and call you a pathetic loser

a lot of rank and file dems do not seem to understand that trans people are in an existential battle for our right to be part of society right now. the government today is trying to use employment law and federal extortion to ban us from bathrooms.

It feels impossible to keep people safe right now because talking about the reality of safety in this country as a transsexual means ruining the vibe and talking about some scary things and nobody wants to hear that. Everyone's acting like blocking it out will make it go away.

If Biden and Obama are presidents that you have a particular kind of love for as a democrat then you are just someone who shovels coal for fascists. You look the other way when your guy wins. You fundamentally don't care about fascism unless its painted red.

"Biden was unpopular because inflation" this is the kind of political analysis that is letting the whole concentration camp thing happen totally unimpeded. Because dorks like this think its uncouth to discuss harsh realities in politics.

Trans women can no longer attend: - Columbia University in New York - Harvard University in Massachusetts - Brown University in Rhode Island And they tell us we'll be safe in blue states. And they tell us it's not a pogrom.

Trans kids' rights aren't "complicated." They're not "nuanced." Protect trans kids, unconditionally. Full stop.

I forget how normalized it is to basically worship CEOs and hold up that position as being some high credential of merit. Instead of like, ya know, evil greedy scum, who make the world a worse place in exchange for their personal profit.

At a certain point we are just upholding the rituals of bigotry by maintaining the structure and meaning behind it more than the culture itself does. We end up in this position where we can articulate "bigotry" so well but cannot articulate the systematic abuse of people happening RIGHT NOW

I hate being attacked by autistic ppl who act wildly aggressive that my experience and opinions about it all is different from theirs and its frustrating that there is this whole online fandom that treats autism like a specific set of behaviors and beliefs but its just their part of the internet...

Its so weird the fixation on "slurs" when every autistic person I know deals with abuse and discrimination that never ever udders a harsh word because the abuse of the disabled is systematic and not just a matter of polite terminology.

i need cis alíes to understand that things are so much worse and more scrutinized than they were in 2016 or 2014 or 2009 or whenever you fucking thought you were radical for your stance on trans rights. the state. is trying. to. kill. us. fuck your nuance for trans sports and just be normal

People like this will vote for bigots and then tell you a fake story about how Obama invented gay marriage out of the goodness of his liberal heart. When no, that was a supreme court decision that had nothing to do with Obama or democrat action. Democrats do not give us rights. We do!!

The thing I can't stop thinking about is everyone in these prison camps already was just living their normal modern life until they were snatched. They were looking at their phones looking forward to content and chicken tenders and then now they're in a cage being told to eat maggots.

I'm afraid, and it seems like the proper emotion in the face of horror. Its not some irrational fear of getting hurt, or a lack of confidence. Its empathy for everyone who is already being hurt. Everyone already in cages, everyone already in pain. Its not a looming threat, its a monster ever present

We've joked for so many years about AFABs who talk about their "Complex Relationship to Gender (tm)" only for their gender to be "cis woman with short hair". Now I'm seeing trans women doing almost the same thing. "My gender is too complex for you normal queers!" You have internalized misogyny.

Its so weird that if you actually have a stable loving long-term partner nobody listens to your advice about how to get or maintain that. But if you're single all the time then suddenly you're a dating expert? Lmao make it make sense

The issue with South Park is that this isn't just an animation project, its a culture defining show for americans. Everyone watches it *for* the political takes and the worst people in the world think Cartman is relatable and learned about trans women from that show and nothing else.

Being an autistic information sponge who genuinely enjoy learning new things feels like a super power in this anti-intellectual anti-education culture I find myself trapped within. Its like I'm seeing in 3 dimensions when everyone around me only sees 2 and thats.... terrifying...

I see this a lot and its because they don't read or otherwise learn outside of a school environment. This is increasingly becoming the difference between actual intellectuals and the people who have jobs literally just because they have a framed degree.

So much of this society is built on the reliance that *other* people have strong values. But what if they don't? What if everyone in a position of power meant to be expressing their values simply has none? Hi. Welcome to my hell. I live in The Midwest.

The actual politics at play here being an afterthought in this call to action is exactly why this stuff happens and exactly why it will keep happening. Fascism is winning and this is why.

Trying to get advice as a trans woman online now seems like such hell. What are you even allowed to talk about? And where? It was difficult enough when i did it and now its downright confusing and hostile.

If you keep telling people whose concerns aren't valid that they have valid concerns, then they will believe they have valid concerns. You can't go through life - or politics - without sometimes just straight up telling people they're wrong. You can be nice about it. But you still have to do it.

"you're such a doomer you need to go outside more" "do you have any idea whats going on?" "no..." and then you tell them and they feel bad about it and then blame you for that feeling. The messenger.

First they came for pornhub and I said nothing because lol who looks at pornhub? Then they came for Colbert and although I did not watch late night comedy, it was a wakeup call But now? They've taken my porn games and... well they're going to have to feel centrist my wrath now...

Such a thing would get shadowbanned at a very minimum, I am of the mind that it would get banned outright. Non-transitioners/cissexuals do not want transsexual women to have conversations that do not include them or are not catered to their sensibilities. The r/MTF board made this clear.

Its heart breaking that any time someone has a sober moment of realization of what all this hysteria means they easily and rightly come to the conclusion that this is all just leading to mindless cruelty toward kids and vulnerable people really drives home how disconnected everyone else is

This is part of why I've started to consider anyone within our own communities that insists we follow established medicalized guidelines to be suspect - the guidelines are based on nothing at all, and community knowledge is saving our lives, our feminization, our bone density.....

It occurs to me that even in the most accepting countries they do not have "full body autonomy" either and thats fine! That is still a place MANY people are needing to seek asylum because we no longer have ANYTHING close to it in the US anymore.

The issue is that everyone supports the T in their own personal way that is disconnected from the material reality of actual trans men and women. Which leads to awkward moments of people who support the T but don't support basic inclusion and gender affirming care.

crazy that the biggest health risks from hrt come from complications caused by inadequate hormone levels yet endocrinologists are obsessed with keeping hormones below a maximum instead of above a minimum

I hate social media because someone will write an article addressing the politics and culture of US activism and someone on another continent will run a whole campaign trying to ruin that person's whole reputation based on the headline.

This article isn’t “transmedicalist”, you just have bad reading comprehension—Jules is talking about how the deprioritization of the material demand of transition within trans rights and replaced by liberal validity politics fucked over the most marginalized, not that non-binary people “aren’t real”

Throwing your hands up and saying it would be easier if sex/gender didnt exist legally/socially isnt an argument its just a transphobic dismissal of trans ppls needs. I don't actually need ppl to reeducate. I just need HRT and for the violence to stop.

Its very weird how people pretend doctors are these guardians of safety who protect you from side effects and complications but every time ive had a negative side effect or a serious issue with a med I still get hurt... and then I get gaslit about why it happened by the guy who gave it to me.

Its very sad having been gone from social media for 6+ months and then come back and the discourse is 10x more stupid and loaded against the most vulnerable in new and confusing ways.

I'm very pro-revolution but even in that context you need to be willing and able to discuss the actual law. You can't just have vague beliefs, you need to be able to articulate those beliefs into law. If you don't know how anything works or how it should work you're a useless revolutionary.

Gender is a violent system of power structures, not a rainbow of identity labels and aesthetics. Gender is your positioning under patriarchy, and it doesn't magically change due to semantics. It's not meaningfully different than saying "race is fluid" and refusing to specify if you're white.
