Sometimes I can take the transphobes and even those that deny our existence. Sometimes it is just too much even 34 years after transition. Maybe it is having grown up with psychological and emotional abuse. But at some point I am battered down. Can only imagine what it does to those just starting.

I am done with the toxic addiction creating dump that is X. I cannot and will not subject myself to so much hate and outrage baiting just to and make buck for Elon. Seeing almost every reply on Sarah McBride mentioning trans day of remembrance filled with hate and denial was the last straw.

So, does the US need I.C.E. at all? Arguably not and well argued in this video. youtu.be/z0cRkh1yv2Q

Dang. Why didn't I think of that?

Oh,my! In a David Mack Star Trek fanfic book the bar on the Entreprise is called "Happy Bottom Riding Club". Before I figured oit my gender stuff I spent enough time on Castro and Folsom in San Francisco to have quite different associations with any bar with such a name. Is it just me? :)

Perhaps my previous post on the extent of the privacy problem makes it seem hopeless to regain and keep it. Here are a few of the ways we can fight back. open.substack.com/pub/privacyp...

What is the extent of the privacy problem today? Many are not aware or do not thing about how deep the surveillance of everyone and the subsequent loss of privacy really is. See this article to learn the extent to which we have lost privacy. open.substack.com/pub/privacyp...

I am delighted if Trump and minions deny there is anything wrong. They will be less able to stop the comeuppance bearing down upon them if they have their heads up their ass admiring the smell of their own flatulence.

I disagree that making point that being trans is not a choice is somehow weak or saying it is so horrible no one will choose it. Point is what you gender is including not what you are assigned is part of who you are, not some arbitrary choice. Generally attack on baked in stuff is not cool at all.

So they are purportedly ending the shutdown with the offer of bring back the laid off federal workers. Thing is that by law all furloughs due to government shutdown are temporary and full back pay is required. So the Republicans are giving nothing except a vague promise to revisit ACA cuts.

Absolutely net as real. Human rights are based in the objective nature of human beings. God is based in nothing at all but impossible set of superlatives and wishful thinking.

If it was economically viable you wouldn't have to do it by initiating government force.

Trump wants to give Argentina $40 billion and buy Argentina beef. What of US under shutdown? He wants to take money away from American people and ruin American beef production to save poor Argentina. Some days Atlas Shrugged is too optimistic. Some days Idiocracy is too optimistic.

There is no such thing as "social contract".

Reagan in 1986 said no one should be turned away from Emergency Room that needed Emergency Care. They money paid to hospitals for this care is 0.4% of Medicaid budget. And these hateful assholes are making a case for how unreasonable Democrats are on that?

Human rights are not privileges to be granted or withheld by government in the first place. They are TO BE DEMANDED and nothing less settled for.

Rights ARE a matter of ethics and thus their violation IS unethical. They are unacceptable BECAUSE they are unethical. Only people that don't believe in grounded ethics would make an argument against calling out rights variations as unethical.

Apparently you miss the point. The point is sure not a put down of transition or being able to transition.

Here is a piece I wrote some time back on the tangled mess that software development can often be today. medium.com/@sister-sam/...

Conversion Therapy is medical malpractice.

Proponents pretend it is a free speech issue. It is not. Conversion Therapy is medical malpractice.

When MTG comes off as one of the wisest, bravest and most honest in US government we are truly in some really deep shit. t.co/6Cdr8FWQMT

I am here because there is more of what I love about the best sharing with one another can offer. I am here or the saner more careful (usually) tone. I am hear to escape hateful emotional manipulation for a $buck.

The knowledge of how to do it, whichever it this is, remains. If it is LLMs I run a few on my local gaming rig.

Where is the $17 trillion, Donald? Did you steal it? youtu.be/2qqd98OjYnk

This is quite unscientific. Saying "likely" is just not the language of science, especially without proof.

Stephen Miller is 100% admitted Christian Nationalist (theocrat). He is a pure Fascist. As such what do you think he will do and say?

When I was very young my nightmares were intense. They would end in a dark paneled room with someone talking me down from near hysteria. Couldn't remember the face, just the voice. When I became adult I recognized the voice. It was the one speaking inside my head.

The more Trump and company insist on "only two genders" the more I am disgusted at all the focus on gender and especially on the idea that there are only two and that you must be one or the other along with all the cultural baggage attached. I am disgusted we are so wrapped up in such.

How do I find the context of a reply on this platform. What works in X doesn't seem to here.

Feel like you are getting repeat of 2008 style assurances?

Many miss that the true enemy considers all of the alphabet and abomination and is after all of us. It is a mere tactical decision which letter they attack first. They are coming after ALL of us.

Government is after cryptocurrency freedom in a big way. Beware. Take what moves you can to get your stash into harder to track and control privacy coin. atlas21.com/us-governmen...

Don't let them whitewash Charlie Kirk. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Anyone that thinks no one could have had legitimate anger toward Charlie Kirk, regardless of whether you belief assassination is ever justified, should read the Wikipedia entry on him. Who he was should not be lost in the consternation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie...

I wonder if they will will refund them to the importers that actually paid them? ground.news/article/the-...

This is far worse than anything I imagined. This is full on insane fascist. He must be removed by any means necessary.

This is pure tyranny and must be treated as such. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Only if the restored information meets ideology purity tests. Trump and company considers all trans rights to be a "corrupt ideology". It also includes much of gender studies and various sexology studies including many LGBTQIA ones. ground.news/article/hhs-...

Good, but it would be nice is Supreme Court ruled on this obvious point instead of ducking when they had the opportunity to do so. ground.news/article/appe...

Better late than never but it would have been good it as before Harvard was extorted into various acts of compliance with Trump's tyranny. ground.news/article/f0f7...

Is it just me or does ground.news tend to frame a lot of its headlines in terms that are effectively softball toward the US administration?

Funny how a lot of the gender war, even for those of us that are transgender, seems to be energized by deep implicit assumption a hard gender binary is totally real.

Not many four years olds know all their letters and numbers. Besides just because some don't do a good enough job doesn't mean no one does or can. The argument is fallacious. Many public school system students are miserably bad academically as well.

Must be sarcasm and snark. Otherwise it is the biggest lie of the day. Catholic church is and has always been very repressive toward LGBTQIA+

US Federal Representatives have two year term. What would happen if millions signed a partition that stated the Representative will lose their seat if they don't vote to impeach the Tyrant trump because each signer pledges to vote against them if they do not? Put some teeth in your Democracy!

Of course Israel doesn't want any Palestinian voices at the UN. Therefore neither does the Trump administration. ground.news/article/us-r...
