The thing is, I am a discerning customer and CEOs are correct to assume that I will not automatically buy their product just because they put a Pride flag up. They should know that I certainly WON'T buy their product if they take a Pride flag down, though.

I kinda hate the fact that we are having an insane tech revolution in energy but being 'pro-tech' means being in love with machine learning and LLMs. I'm excited for a technologically advanced future and it's based on vaccines, solar and batteries.

Today marks a year since the Supreme Court decision. We now know a revised version of the draft statutory guidance is due in May. We need to act fast to make sure it explains how trans people can still be included. Write to your MP to tell them what they need to do, using our quick and easy tool 👇

Tetralophodon, considered to link a gomphothere grade with true elephants

This is a very contorted, unhelpful way of making a point about people who take a campist view of the world, but kinda bewildered by all the "what could she possibly mean?" reactions

The trans person part of me is appalled at the promise to effectively segregate and harm us. The process person part of me is appalled that this was *voted down at Conference* and they did it anyway?! And you want us to believe you can be trusted in Government?!

Cis people will act like this about gendered stuff, and then say trans people are obsessed and weird lol

I wonder if the reason why the dead guy looks so much like Epstein is because the llm had so many, many, many pictures of Trump and Epstein hanging out with each other. It was like "who is the most statistically probable face near Trump's" and bam, Jeff Epstein.

Trying to look up information online about the Bohemian Yiddish dialect my distant ancestors would've spoken is hard because of: 1. The fact that it was poorly documented in general, having largely died out by the early 19th century 2. The other usage of "Bohemian" to mean "artsy and eccentric"

How is “Always Sunny” somehow the show that handled trans women with the most tact for this entire era, Jesus Christ

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

Rod Dreher wandering the streets of Budapest wearing an old man's sleeping gown, asking the celebrants if they even know what this is going to do to the birth rates

I get the sense Rowling has been smart enough to lean into her (long-standing) distaste for Americans and stay clear of our politics, because I think she correctly senses that association with our right wing would lead to her getting less deference than she does without it

Worshipping ashes, leaving us to tend the flame even as they try to stamp it out

This person will be shocked to learn people aren't catapulted into space naked. We give them a little habitat! Also, Earth is in space.

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

The beauty of the Appeal to Common Sense is that you don't need to actually think about anything. "This asshole is saying that diseases are caused by magic animals too small to see? They're obviously caused by foul smells in the air! Common sense, amirite!"

In the 1980s, the UK media responded to an increase in visibility/support of gay people with a relentless, well-funded, Right-Wing campaign against gay rights, and when support went down, allowing Thatcher to bring in Section 28, the media turned around and blamed gay people for demanding too much.

Amazing how the ideology of anti-trans activists and conservatives can almost always be boiled down to “Look what you made me do” Not surprising given these people’s penchant for supporting pedophiles and abusers.

Jesse Singal is back on his transphobic bullshit by arguing that the trans rights backlash is self-inflicted and that anyone pointing to coordinated right-wing funding is peddling a "conspiracy theory." It's a masterclass in false dichotomy and victim blaming. archive.ph/ZD74X

This is what I tell people who think ‘affirmative care’ is ‘roll over and give them anything’. It used to be adversarial everywhere. You had to prove you were really trans to people who weren’t! So trivial stuff like wearing jeans instead of a dress mattered.

I think this is really important, and I'm worried it's never going to filter into the mainstream: Finland is producing studies that their researchers claim cast doubt on gender affirming care for youth, but they hide the ways their idiosyncratic approach itself could be to blame.

staying in my lane

The Israeli right's problem is arguably that it has the push-pull euphoric "finally! we've got the tanks! WE CAN FIGHT BACK!" experience for once in Jewish history but the inability to understand that they will eventually not have enough tanks.

he won’t do it but I so badly need Da Pope to excommunicate Vance, it would be so funny

“you sound crazy if you’re literally describing it to people who are casual news followers” describes SO MANY of our current most pressing issues

do you think the fact this article doesn’t mention hannah spencer being attacked by anti-immigrant transphobes and called among other things a ‘fucking dirty traitor’ in her first days as an mp might have anything to do with people’s reluctance to take your whining very seriously

I think ppl have on the whole woken up to it and really don't mind what might befall trans ppl. kinda like polish underground publications during ww2 mostly taking the position of "yeah we disagree with hitler on the issue of conquest but if he sorts out the jews that's fine by us"

If the choice were world War 3 and being kind and accepting of trans people, they'd sprint to press the nuke button themselves.

Anti-trans hatred is the very lifeblood of 21st century fascism and we need everyone to wake up to this simple truth before it's too late.

This has made me so unbelievably angry today. Like, how much of a sociopath do you have to be to read a story about a 6yr old self-harming and your only thought being "how can I make her suffer more". And to not only think it but to then actively make it happen as well. Absolutely evil.

If you aren't trans, and not regularly exposed to the output of the UK media, you may not know how extreme their treatment and portrayal of trans people has become. Apart from running regular press releases from extremist groups as articles, they will bow to their demands to further attack kids

The first casualty in fascism is language.

When the NYT stops being a transphobic rag, maybe we'll have nicer things to say about it.

This is going around on X, a new study by SEGM member Riittakerttu Kaltiala (the abusive head of a clinic in Finland) is getting picked up as proof that gender-affirming care doesn't work. The data actually shows something very different from what the authors claim. It's purposefully distorted. 🧵

A great way for y’all to support Jews, by the way, is to call these people the fuck out when you see this happening because there’s almost zero pushback against any of these comments and Jews are left to try and counter it alone.

We don’t need to put effort into figuring out how to forgive them. We need to put effort into figuring out how to ostracize them from society and take their bigoted hateful evil bullshit back into quiet whispers that get you shunned if you say them on main.

archive link You know what's telling about this piece? a piece ostensibly about trans kids? he never once calls them trans kids. He refers to them about a half dozen times and in each instance he avoids affirming them as trans kids and says stuff like "questioning their gender".

cis people are ruled by their disgust response

If Grok was a computer in an old episode of Star Trek, a trans woman walking by would cause it to emit smoke and explode. Owing to having been programmed with 'gender critical' logic (i.e. the dogma of a fascist cult) it 'experiences' trans women as logical paradoxes.

Tapping the sign

Big "Chesterton's fence is woke and gay" energy in this whole administration in every single thing they do

I am 100% convinced that there will be a real push among Trump’s evangelical base (both Christian evangelicals and Trump evangelicals) who will seek some way to “divus” (deify or sanctify) him, no matter how heretical it may be, like the Roman Emperors of old

I wrote about how the campaign against trans people in the United States is one of social murder. www.thedissident.news/every-trans-...
