Found a pro-Cuomo woman who had previously ran for City Council herself, and she really wants Zohran to clarify whether he is specifically Shi'a or not

ok i am sorry but covering up a nazi tattoo with a norse mythology tattoo is hilarious. my dude. that’s not helping

help me obi-wan kenobi, you're my only hope

Like why?

If you don't believe women are relentlessly subjected to sexual harassment, especially at work, just read the comments. And see the latest discourse about a Doordash driver.

I'm tired of people saying "oh obviously the Omelas story is about <something other than how maybe you should reject the imposition of suffering for the greater good>" cos, like, even if you're right and the story is about whatever you say there - it's definitely not obvious, you're just being smug.

Share if you agree

hate when ppl say "u can argue til the cows come home." what cows? my home was repossessed by bank of america

Being a nonbinary trans woman is hard because idk if the ways I don’t assert my womanhood is due to lack of confidence or because of my lack of investment in womanhood as a concept.

I dislike the notion that women being attracted to men somehow makes their judgement inherently compromised in a way that makes us bad feminists or whatever.

One of those jokes that needs to be retired is the general idea that trans women topping men is somehow any reversal of the patriarchal expectations and power dynamics when that’s what 80% of cis men approaching us want and assume we’ll do by default.

a friend just got a kitten and stumbled into the ideal large gentle dog and grumpy kitten dynamic and rest assured i will be experiencing this Immediately

Surely this will be the moment they take advantage of American weakness & invade Taiwan!

Multipolar century of humiliation

which color suits me best

I do think it's sort of fascinating that this is where probably the most influential trans person to use the term transsexual politically ended up. Like for all the insistence of transsexual as a radical political statement it ended with transsexualism is bourgeois Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Richard Dawkins has a new book called "The war on science" in which he continues the war on science

The Western mind cannot conceive of a middle ground between "perfect society" and "deserves to be bombed to rubble".

The current political moment is one moving inexorably towards a totalizing retrenchment of reproductive imperatives, and one where dysphoria remains in the DSM. There are many ways to define transness and queerness as a drain and burden on society, and declare us, ahem, "non-productive".

I'm into believable wrestling. No, really. 🤼‍♂️

This is why it makes no sense to try and explain straight trans women’s lives and choices strictly through heteronormativity—our whole lives are in context to the homophobia embedded in the kind of sexism we experience.

I need to share the longer article soon but this perception is very much my own experience. And it’s exactly what I mean about transhet sexuality being seen as hyper-gay and how it amplifies homophobia when you don’t pass.

What strikes me as most important about this British opinion survey is that even young adults are becoming transphobic. Anti-trans measures by the UK govt, reflect the ignorance & brain-washing of the public, by the British media & far right lobbyists. The tipping point has now been reached:

These only look cool from one angle 💔

Straight trans women are so cute

How in the blue fuck is BlueSky gonna determine if characters in erotic art 'consent' to it unless the artist labels it as noncon. This is fucking unenforcable.

“Everytime a trans [insert gender here] does [insert activity related to transition] an angel loses its wings” Good. Let those chaser angels drop like flies. Boomf boomf boomf.

Kinda hoping my bf will get rich so I can become a full time oracle and repository of knowledge

democrats just granted unanimous consent for a national holiday in honor of the youtube nazi, in case you were wondering how the opposition is going

Lmao

I’m so fuckin tired, man.

I kinda feel like a big reason I identify as nonbinary is that my transition goals are only 80% girl and my self-perception is all over the place.

Every time this discourse happens I get a little closer to turning up to events in a tux and a glitterbeard out of sheer spite.

I’ve experienced a LOT of shit from gay men in my life, but they’re never not going to be my people. I’m never not going to share an identity connection with them, and we’re never not going to have overlapping oppression.

Anti-effeminacy and homophobia—yes, the anti-androphilic kind—have been by far the most common flavor of lateral gender oppression I’ve experienced from other trans women. And it’s really hard to push back against it or even identify it because it gets erased and excused so much.

Same and honestly I’m kind of tired of hearing about it Especially when you look back through history and realize that stigma against drag, street queens, and yes even hetero “ex-gay” transsexual women are much older and more prevalent attitudes among trans people than usually credited today.

Got called an “ex-gay boy”, and my pronouns put in quotation marks because of this position.

I'm gonna need basically monogamous people who think poly is just fucking around and then get all puffed up and indignant when they catch feelings and everyone else won't tear up their lives to accommodate them to fuck off and die, preferably in a hole somewhere.

People should be pretty worried about this bullshit. Antifa is not actually a group and they absolutely know that. That means they are going to be able to stick the label on anyone they don't like and hit them with terror charges.

it’s very funny to make a distinction between cancel culture and what this is, which is clear government supression of speech. cancel culture isn’t anti first amendment, but this specifically is! which is worse!

And you all said I was mad that Moby Dick could defeat Cthulhu….

Yeah yeah not every cis man who’s into trans women is a chaser but please let us bitch about chasers. I also think trans women have an unalienable right to call any cis man into them chasers regardless of whether or not it’s true.

It's the politics of recognition game. Like how before #changethename became prioritized by Ntvs, the media would keep using the same tactics of addressing mascots. Like appeals to lateral violence, or framing the issue as a "debate" for all, rather than just flat out addressing ongoing genocide.

I think a lot of people who are starting to get that trans women and trans men can be equally oppressed in ways that aren’t always parallel are still not there yet with transhet people relative to LGB trans people but the same principle applies.

this is all for a podcaster. A PODCASTER!!!!!!

This is exactly how I feel too. People experimenting with their looks and doing performances is cool actually.

you have motivated me to put into words why i enjoy drag performances to solidify your point: i just like seeing a very stylish queer person being incredibly comfortable in their skin while also being funny
