So now the MAGAs are trying to create new states.
The complaint linked in the above tweet really shows the problem with American elections. The fact that they say it's unfair that more people voted is just off the walls nonsense. Other countries automatically have everyone of voting age able to vote.
Oh btw suck it MAGAs

I have a more nuanced take about how a Biden win doesn't really interfere in what the GOP wants, so Trump's divisive presence is completely superfluous right now. But also, I love the misery of terrible people.

It's wild how virtually the entire UK press is just straight up telling lies about trans people. You'd think journalists would have, IDK, *ethics* or something.
Obviously at this point the entire notion of journalistic ethics is a cruel joke, esp in the UK where they constantly publish lies about trans people that if they were aimed at individual people would be considered libelous. The US has all that right wing news too, so the UK
isn't alone in that. Plus that article in Australia written by someone *claiming* to be the mother of a trans teen, but is nothing more but the standard ROGD script. "Anonymous?" I'd be surprised if the author were really a cis woman, to be honest, let alone a cis mother.

I often see trans people and allies respond to "trans people deny biology" with extensive explanations of how trans people don't deny biology. I suggest in the future a different course: Don't bother. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT TRANS PEOPLE THINK ABOUT BIOLOGY. We still deserve
health care, civil rights, access to appropriate accommodations, and respect. There's this insidious vein of GC discourse in which what trans people say about ourselves is being used to discredit us, but the fact is we can say whatever the hell we want about ourselves and we
still deserve all the things. I don't care if anyone says that they're trans because of reincarnation or socialization or neurological differences, every one of them deserves access to all the the things I listed. Please please I beg of you STOP letting GCs set the debate.

Bit's good actually.

It didn't even get into transmisogynist tropes although at one point it almost flirted with one and then subverted the fuck out of it
I'm not going to do a detailed analysis just go watch it if you like lesbians and if you like vampires and you like trans girls
I recall seeing someone say that one of the characters trauma dumping on the protagonist is a thing cis women do to trans women but in my experience that sort of conversation just plain happens among women in general, and the protagonist is the center of the story.

Take everything I said about James Lindsay today and multiply it by 50.
Ray Blanchard is in dire need of shutting the fuck up.
I'd like to institute a study of clinicians and researchers like Zucker, Blanchard, Bailey, and Dreger so we can understand why they're obsessed with deliberately misrepresented marginalized groups and maintaining their lies for decades after they've been shown to be lies.

Good thread on why civility is still bad and always will be

For context: I'm referring to demands for civility when dealing with Republicans who basically want us all dead, which is pretty much all Republicans who voted for Trump, as well as just about all of them in office, esp at the Federal level.
There's no need to qualify that civility is fine in some contexts. Demanding it in *this* context is not, and never will be.
