My favorite human rights to empathetically advocate are ALSO the war crime ones — like torture against civilians I dislike!

[and yes, Jared Kushner is garbage]
I hate to ruin the “lol torture” party but shitty people — even Republican criminals — have human rights.

Acting otherwise is hypocritical, and extremely dangerous to all of us … humans — welcome to “how human rights violations become normalized.”

(Also it’s stupid)
“Chill it’s a joke”

Go watch the torture of your loved one and get back to me with your precise measurement of the hilarity.
Because of where I’ve lived and what I do, I’ve unfortunately witnessed a lot of political torture. It sucks actually!

I live for dark humor but it’s not yet made me laugh. Somehow.

“Waterboarding” is also just a lazy joke. So many creative ‘not war crimes’ opportunities lost.

Remember when we told y’all Matt Heimbach never left extremism, and was running a Neo Nazi rebranding op this whooooooooole time?

You got played and amplified a genocidal fascist — and with well only over a year of plenty advance warning.

Slow. Clap.

Matt Heimbach’s trial date for Charlottesville has finally been set.

… in case you wanted to know why he finally caved and exchanged his 100% see through CVE mask for the comfy old Atomwaffen adjacent Neo Nazi one
“Matt Heimbach was a Neo Nazi, then wasn’t, but is again? Why are you even giving him attention?”

Stop.

The CVE community needs to learn from this heinous mistake ASAP because it was communicated in advance, is inexcusable, dangerous, and has done plenty of damage already.

I’ve watched ISIS behead my friends, Neo Nazis try (and fail) to murder me, and I’ll say it: no one should harm JK Rowling for her harmful, idiotic opinions.

That said —

“This [trans] movement” poses the HORRID risk of… my kid being treated like an EQUAL HUMAN BEING.
“Hundreds” of threats convince JK Rowling that “this [trans] movement” poses a risk to women (sexist AF btw; trans men exist).

Such an imaginative author, it’s damn pathetic she can’t dream up any empathy for…

… trans people literally just trying to survive every damn day.

I've had a bootleg copy of Abigail Shrier's book for a year (I wasn't about to pay), but just got around to reading it.

And ohhhhhh do I have some thoughts, Twitter.
When someone searches "transgender" or "trans teen" on amazon, Shrier's book is one of the top results - with glowing reviews and a "best seller" badge.

I can't imagine anything worse.

An openly hateful, explicitly anti-trans/queer author would be far less dangerous.
I'm going to take the time Shrier's "book" (trying to not get banned from Twitter here) that it deserves, so I'll keep it short for now -- and will write a blog post reviewing it later.

In detail.

Excruciating detail.

My kid is trans, and I’m only going to warn you once:

— Things that matter and belong in my life: my son’s well-being, health, and happiness.

— Things that don’t matter and belong in my life: your judgment, bigotry, and unsolicited ignorant opinions.

Act accordingly.
No matter how long I’ve known you, no matter how we are connected:

Don’t try to make it a “you or him” choice.

There is no choice; you’re not even in the equation. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️
“I just don’t understand the whole ‘being trans’ thing!”

NEITHER DO I BECAUSE I’M NOT TRANS

I don’t understand what it’s like being a cishet male (BECAUSE I’M NOT ONE), but somehow that never interfered with me loving one.
