looking back its kinda funny how after i came back from my year abroad in high school people thought i was cooler, when really i was just heavily dissociated. basically telling me “wow youre way more interesting now that your coping mechanism for severe depression is dissociation” but having no idea

We still need to kick that bitch Jesse Singal off of here.

...knowing Jəsse's the author (& that gender-affirming care practitioners are well aware of his biases & tactics) utterly changes the meaning of the last paragraph. without attribution, it makes it sound like the authors are suspiciously dodging the question. in actuality they know he's a bad actor!

"why are people so absolutist and negative about the nihilistically ecocidal economically destructive tech being nonconsensually forced on them in every aspect of their lives and workflows by fascist billionaires and is actively making their lives worse? i only use it for research 😏"

the “find a cure for autism” millions of dollars industry has been built on the backs of telling mothers they’re the reason their kid is autistic since at least the 1940s sometimes that industry kills autistic children, even today

Only a good guy with autism can defeat a bad guy with autism

There seems to be confusion about what I'm saying here, so I'll be even blunter: Charlie Kirk's main argument, which he built his empire on, is that young women should be punished for feminist wrongthink with public, sexualized humiliation. To honor him is to endorse sexualized abuse of girls.

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

i hate how the term ‘headcanon’ is used to coddle outright media illiteracy. like no actually just bc the author opted for subtlety, implication, and showing instead of telling doesnt mean your hc is valid. ‘implicit’ doesnt mean uncertain, it means conveying something without plainly stating it

just fyi i read this chapter of the makeup remover and six months later i was on estrogen

both "do nothing to your body & embrace traditional naturalism" & "view the body as a data collection that must be optimized in service of technology and capital" tend to reactionary views. transsexualizing the body being considered a threat by both tells you something interesting tho

to restate for the audience in the back: the difference between binary and nonbinary is the difference between soup and stew. either way you call it, it's still not a fucking sandwich.

here's a blistering hot take: as much as we joke about "detransitioning from a haircut," cutting your hair short is a significantly more irreversible (in the short term) process than taking hormones for a month. You're not getting the hair back without time, but stopping a short HRT regimen? Easy.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

its pretty fitting that the first premium character i got in a gacha game was aglaea from hsr, bc shes obviously rotating six lesbians in her head at all times just like me

just fyi i read this chapter of the makeup remover and six months later i was on estrogen

every journalist knows they are packaging the entire Charlie Kirk story dishonestly, and they all think it is incredibly rude to point that out

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

they're struggling so hard to find any kind of evidence, experience, or ethical principle to justify their bigotry against trans ppl that they're having to construct metaphysics where our genocide is the predetermined conclusion

medical transition is puberty, puberty is medical transition. every child, cis or trans, will transition; to grow up is an irreversible change

"irreversible medical intervention" is a strange way to spell "puberty"

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

actually itd be really funny if a yuri comic fully committed to never drawing mens faces but did have a major male character who was still recognizable in spite of this

who can say? its just one of those eternal mysteries that will never be solved

when you definitely arent gay for your best friend

the fact they're out here running "abigail spanberger will trans your kids" against one of the most conservative candidates out of the Democratic Party is a great example of why actually standing up for trans people, especially kids, is the only way to go

it's so interesting to me that cis men from every single demographic, ethnicity, class relation, and political machine are coming together in a temporary fraternity to collectively destroy the political power and public presence of women & trans people by any means necessary

it is journalism's most sacred duty to manufacture consent for american hegemony and imperialism

i love when stories do transness both literally and allegorically. like oh you have beautiful amazing magic but using it shifts you into your demon form (which feels so right!) so everyone hates and fears you? and also your demon form is a woman and you feel way better like that? i. am. listening!

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

tbqh i think the writers were a little too on the nose when they had the white ethnonationalist dipshit guy with two ks in his last name marry a woman whose first name had the missing third k he’d aspired to all his life

covid has me trapped in my apartment listening to soothing thunderstorm sounds so naturally im thinking about this again

terrible news everyone: the age of ‘Nicole Still Hasn’t Had COVID??’ is over

a chilling warning to america from 2004 !

need an autoresolve button for dealing with getting sick. i know im gonna win so why do i have to play the whole thing out?? (also i am terrible at caring for myself so im pretty sure the autoresolver would get a better result)

admitting that you, an elected representative, have been intimidated by violent threats into changing your legislative stance is a phenomenal way to get roughly 2000x more threats of violence whenever anyone disagrees with anything youre set to vote for

rightwingers: *do the horrible shit theyve been screaming about wanting to do for decades and were also already kinda doing in a variety of ways* centrists: what are we, a bunch of LEFTISTS?

🍂 we should implement the no-drive days that some cities in china use, not even for reducing congestion but instead so people have to be exposed to public transit

No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder

Keith David has over 400 credits on IMDB and that's into "he'll be in whatever you offer him money for" territory and that means that any time you watch something that doesn't have Keith David in it it's because they didn't want to have Keith David in it and that is a mindset I just can't understand

it is jaw-dropping to consider just how much of the present state of our world stems from men being scared of being perceived as gay

To oppose trans people's rights and freedoms you break so many social contracts. We keep saying that trans rights are human rights, but conversely, human rights are trans rights, because the second you decide some people don't deserve the same rights and freedoms as others? You start to lose it all.

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....

society could not comprehend a woman with a penis and now super nazis are going to destroy the world

I don't understand where these debate guys think politics happens or what politics do? Like has it never occurred to them that the reason abortion rights activists aren't going to evangelical churches to ~persuade them~ because their time is spent, like, helping people pay for their abortions
