I don't know if I ever really pictured my adult years. I tried, but it was always just blank. Even when I was an adult, my brain just didn't like thinking about where my life would be as an older man. So did I picture that I would be a woman in a serious relationship with a man? Definitely not !

This is just the norm now. No one on the right has a history of success at anything except convincing wealthy reactionaries and self-hating centrist elites that there is such as thing as an "conservative intellectual" and riding the gravy train of telling them what they want to hear.

I’ve seen enough. God is 1) real 2) nonbinary 3) primarily motivated by a deep hatred of JD Vance

a lot of the people reacting to this have never experienced the life-changing powers of a girl who is slightly mean

This continues to be how it works.

Literally the same strategy my ex and her mother uses to pretend the most obvious shit isn't reality

My 6 year old son was watching me play Pokemon on the Switch and saw my Buneary evolve into a Lopunny and he said "she became a woman!!" 💀💀💀

I already support Talarico. You don't have to sell him to me.

Me reacting to my "guy" friend explaining that I'm wrong to say his life experiences are relatable, and while yes he has said "my life would be over if i was trans," he's definitely not an egg putting up a wall because of internal transphobia and thinking being trans would ruin his life

Every Nordic gender clinic that "proves" transition is somehow harming patients is self-reporting that their treatment of patients is abysmal. They're gaining international recognition for exposing their own maliciously bad approach to healthcare while pretending it's inherent to transition.

BREAKING: study shows men love having young ladies around, but men do not like it when mom, wife, or teacher tells them what to do

I have seen one good example of this plate

chappell roan is afab trans woman (socially ostracised). sabrina carpenter is afab trans woman (agp pervert).

At a standing room only concert for the first time in my life This has to be the densest collection of 5'10" women ever

Regular reminder that trans girls, you do not have to accept "oh it's personal preference therefore it's sacrosanct" when the personal preference is "I prefer women who don't have ohmygodshe'sreallyamanthatmakesitgay cooties." Don't date that person, obviously. But you are allowed to judge.

Have you all not been paying attention to the way gender and anti-trans panic is the central fixation of modern reaction politics? Trans people are a synecdoche for a kind of 'decadence' and erosion of their most fundamental beliefs in order, hierarchy, and who is considered worthy of humanity.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally” Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

broke: trans woman naming herself the feminine version of her deadname joke: naming herself a name she had already picked out for a future daughter bespoke: letting her mom name her masterstroke: naming herself "the" to make ediscovery against her impossible should she ever be in a legal dispute

my superpower as a lawyer who has done commercial litigation is I know fights where both sides are evil exist and are common

Steps to feed my cat: 1. Notice her dish is empty when I get home. 2. Put some more of her food in it. 3. Wait about four hours for her to start pawing, meowing, BEGGING me for something. 4. Pick her up, set her down right in front of her untouched food. 5. Watch the shameless, lazy bitch eat

somehow I went from "I have never cried over art, except for the end of Coco" to "I cry over literally any fiction involving a child dying" parenthood + estrogen, potent combo !

"On Monday, Oedipus ate through one apple. But he was still hungry. On Wednesday he ate a whole banana. On Friday he killed an arrogant man at the crossroads and married his widow. But he was still hungry." A section, there, from THE VERY HUNGRY PATER-KILLER.

Don't make this man's mistake. You should always ask how many Major Crises they've had yet that shift and if the answer is less than 3, demand a transfer because it's not safe

The UK compares badly to pretty much every other rich country, though. No one else has the problem that fascists might win 100% control of the government by winning 21% of the vote. 75%+ of the population being of British descent is just an insurmountable handicap. Thank god here it's only 20%.

The timing of this makes me think that while she's been on the shit list for a while because of the Epstein files, this is an impulsive decision driven by his rage that SCOTUS appears likely to affirm birthright citizenship.

THIS is the kind of pedantry I want from the internet: ‘12D Chess as a metaphor for a situation requiring great foresight [is] flawed… it is a more apt metaphor for a very lonely random walk punctuated by infrequent interactions with others you can easily dodge’ www.gilgamath.com/twelve_dimen...

Liberal Currents has quietly become one of the few outlets taking male supremacy seriously, either as a foundation of Trumpist fascism or as a system of oppression in its own right.

this was my fault btw. egg cracked in the second half of 2021, told myself "things are pretty good now, I'll be safe even in a red state as long as living in a major metro area" and the gods decided my hubris needed punishment.

TDoV 🧵: trans visibility is a double-edged sword due to the Unmarked/Marked mindset: trans ppl face undue attention & scrutiny b/c we're marked. but we also face invisibility b/c ppl typically presume that every person they meet belongs to the unmarked majority (aka, cis)... youtu.be/xiU-G0mTYVY

i’m glad the Supreme Court said what we’ve all been thinking: lawyers should be in charge of medicine

one notable thing about israel's advocacy for itself is that nothing has radicalized me against israel as much as what israeli sources say in their own defense.

like, if you’re old enough, you realize that most of the people who live in The City came from somewhere else, that’s one of the big things about what make cities fucking great, no one’s from there, everyone you meet had bigger dreams

“Can I have GnRH agonists?” “Are you trans?” “Oh no! No! No” “Oh go on then, or we could do castration? You certain you aren’t trans?” “Yeah, positive” “Because there’s no evidence that cutting trans women’s balls off removes their balls. Top British health research says so.”

Biden won because he said there are “at least three” genders. Harris lost because she didn’t up the ante to four

we need a “shut up and dribble” for law professors. why do i have to hear what sam moyn thinks, he’s been wrong about everything for a decade. stop sharing your opinions. go teach civ pro to a 24 year old.

U.S. foreign policy has been captured by dorks obsessed with the movie 300 and the only way to fix it is to put in power dorks obsessed with the movie Master and Commander.

Do I think JK Rowling is a repressed self-hating egg? Look, I've grown past egg-sniffing people I've never met. I've stopped. Really. All I'm saying is it's interesting to examine HP considering that perhaps both Harry and Hermione are her self-inserts: one subconscious, the other self-idealized.

screaming because I remember in 2016 arguing repeatedly in law school with my Federalist Society buddies that you had to vote for Clinton even if you were an arch-conservative Christian nationalist because of the tail risk that Trump would destroy America's hegemony

Begging cis people not to press the button that makes children kill themselves. “But it’s such a pretty button,” they protest, sweat pouring down their face from the effort of not pushing it. “It looks like so much fun to press.” Dead children, we remind them. “...what kind of children?” they ask.

oh no, i fucked up by firing my bluesky demographic (trans people). let's fix it by hiring a new bluesky demographic (37 year olds)

This kind of comparison doesn't make sense because there is not a single "regulation" dial that you just turn up and down. Different things have to be regulated in different ways. Alcohol is *harder* to regulate, so the viability and cost increasing regulation is very different than for gambling.

new england split-ticket voters need to be studied in a lab

"Millennial feminism" has died 1000 times. It will die 1000 more. Wherever they’s a fight so hungry people can eat, millennial feminism will be there. Wherever they’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, millennial feminism is there. Millennial feminism is the way guys yell when they’re mad & the way kids laugh

lmao

Yes...ha ha ha...yes!

do you all understand. do you see. does this make sense.

Starting Pokemon Ultra Sun and tired of rerolling to get a female Popplio, so I give up and name a male one "Prince S."
