so a transphobic woman who formerly worked at a gender clinic claims a young client walked in, said they identified as an “attack helicopter,” and were immediately put on hormones. a bunch of dumbass pundits run with the story as evidence that these clinics are rushing treatment
people on the internet go “hey bozos, the attack helicopter thing is a meme, this story sounds suspect as hell.” a lot of back and forth ensues, the bozos get mad and defensive. bozo king signal goes back to his one transphobic source for more detail so he can own everyone

imo it’s important for humans to understand that animals of all kinds can + do have complex social relationships that incorporate things like deep affection, care, and lasting bonds, but they will not follow the same human behavior and understanding we’ve developed around “love”
to say “animals aren’t capable of human emotion” is like… no shit. our understanding around “human emotion” is a project specific to humans. that doesn’t mean they aren’t experiencing any emotion or operating solely off base impulses
