Every time I glimpse the name Caitlyn Jenner the burden of shame weighs heavier upon me
(Yes I tweeted this last night and deleted it but on sober reflection, it’s true and I should say it)
Can someone please make a trad girl Wojak with a withered Wojak face so I can express my feelings about this

“Gender criticals” like Marjorie Taylor Greene and the wizard one melting down over two non-trans women boxers makes me wonder if they’re not the expert-sex-identifiers-who-can-always-tell they claim to be
Image
Image
Their gender ideology commits them to the idea that there are two sexes, so they can’t really admit the concept of intersex—they have to decide if it’s a male intersex or a female intersex (and therefore man or woman). I don’t even know if either of these boxers are intersex (and presumably neither do the GCs since they’ve all assumed “it’s a man”).
clearly the real issue for these people is the optics of a more masc woman “beating up” (yes that’s what boxing is) a more femme woman, which reminds them of heterosexual violence. and the femme one is also, you know, white. and crying. jeez. maybe they think it would be safer for women to avoid such undainty activities in the first place? (I mean yes it literally would be safer, maybe boxing shouldn’t be a thing at all but that’s a different question)Image

Any explanation of why people are trans that fits in a tweet is wrong. It’s like saying “male homosexuality stems from an overbearing mother.” You sound like a rube. Image
I like to self-psychoanalyze and speculate about why we are the way we are. It’s too bad that it’s impossible to have these conversations in public because most people even posing the questions are bad-faith weasels seeking to pathologize queerness.
So we end up resorting to brute non-explanations like “born this way” to shut those people down. Why are people gay? Why are people trans? “Because they are. Shut up.” It’s not intellectually satisfying but it’s politically necessary.

It’s really easy to caricature the anti-electoralist left as online misanthropes whose politics is “firebomb a Walmart” and then not firebombing a Walmart. It would help to dispel that myth if they were more vocal about what specifically their methods have achieved.
We’re all frustrated that the Democrats aren’t stronger, more effective, further left, savvier about strategy. But the Democrats can at least point to some significant accomplishments in the last 4 years—a major climate bill, infrastructure investment, nominating Justice Jackson
What has the anti-electoralist left accomplished in the same timeframe? I remember in 2020 a lot of mutual aid funds going around for protestors and people hit by the pandemic. That counts as an achievement. What else? Anything on the level of influence as a major climate bill?

The Twitter Tár-defenders have me questioning my own taste and sanity, so I’m about to sit down for a third viewing and try really really hard to like it this time.
(Patreon Tangent coming soon, I was going to do it tonight but spent the whole day removing 40 gallons of water from various rugs/electronics/hardwood floors so not feeling up to it)
The main argument I’m seeing on Twitter is that OBVIOUSLY this is a dark comedy, OF COURSE Lydia is a hack fraud buffoon we’re all supposed to laugh at. So I’m going to try to view it again with that interpretation in mind.

Because of LG's incompetent delivery tech & extremely slow customer service, my washer just dumped ~30+ gallons of water onto the third floor of a 19th century townhouse, causing I have yet to estimate how many $thousands in damages @LGUS @LGUSSupport
Would like to speak to the manger's manager's manger today please @LGUSSupport and to legal tomorrow. Like, there's a waterfall going down two flights of stairs, water pouring through the ceiling lights below.

Ok here’s my sober defense of my anti-Tár take. Never have I wanted to like a movie more. Loved the trailer! Cate Blanchett playing a problematic lesbian in a drama about classical music? All my boxes checked. Step on me etc. But the movie, well…
On first watch it didn’t resonate with me. On second watch I had to accept that I just don’t like it, and paying close attention made me like it less.
Lydia Tár is the kind of Tortured (ie abusive) Genius™ that the classical music world is unfortunately saturated with. The movie wants me to spend two and a half hours solemnly contemplating her brilliance and cruelty, and I don’t want to.
