sorry, didn't mean to subtweet: @ezraklein.bsky.social and @adamjentleson.bsky.social you are violent men and you should not be free. trans people will in time both outpace and outlive you.

Which is why feminism lapsed into "patriarchy is bad for men too" for a few decades there and look where that got us. Most people can't conceptualize the subordination of women as a) harm, or b) important enough to care about in and of itself.
It is Jokerfying on an existential level that the strongest argument a lot of people can seem to muster against misogyny is that if young men do it too hard they'll never get to own a woman.
This chapter sets up a major villain of the story that I've been planning since before I wrote RCBG btw
AUTODAEMONOPHILIA Chapter 6: Quick Errand Patreon release! www.patreon.com/tpwrtrmnky/p...
trans people are still dealing with this btw for anyone who thinks adult gatekeeping magically disappeared somehow very often you still have to go around begging cis people to vouch for your transness and sign permission slips for you to do things
rbl wants three letters + six months of weekly therapy with shared notes to be considered for a consult
KOSA in all its versions is also uniquely dangerous for queer and trans youth and they need you showing up against it the same as you hopefully would against other queer- and transphobic policy
For years, Democrats have pushed legislation like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) because they've claimed these compromises are the only way they can "get something done" on Big Tech with Republicans. Now they control all of Congress. No more excuses. Drop KOSA, regulate Big Tech for real.

lmao why are quote posts even still on for this???
Speaker Hakeem Jeffries.
lmao this fucking website and its reactionary centrist leadership "oh trans people are popular. uhhhhhh nevermind all that here's your pronoun field please don't harass us 🙏"
bsky devs last week: "sorry, u see we can't add pronouns functionality because bad actors might scrape the info to make lists of people" *the political winds blow in a different direction* bsky devs: "lmao jk, sorry we were just cowards. here's ur pronouns :3"
as someone who went to Texas public schools for my entire education: holy shit
THIS JUST IN: Democrats have FLIPPED the Texas State Board of Education! This is a monumental win for Texas students, families, and the entire education community in our great state. Congratulations to our incredible candidates!
Winning an election against the Diarrhea For Everyone party and immediately having speeches about how you're going to do your best to placate the people who want to keep having diarrhea.
so i guess i'll be the asshole reminding everyone that most trans people who've lost access to healthcare/sports/pissing lost it 2020-2024 under a democratic administration and that democratic party-controlled states are very pointedly refusing to enforce the existing "good laws" we already passed
I’m feeling even better this morning y’all. The results at the state Supreme Court level means anti-trans laws in very bad states can now be challenged. The ballot measures will likely go down in court. Trifectas mean good laws coming in new states. And pro-trans electeds won in unlikely places!
If I see bugs bunny cutting Florida off gif it’s on sight these are the same people that said the same shit about Texas last election and are now singing the state’s praises. There are still people in every state that are worthy of help and are trying despite everything working against them.
Last note: this is also what I mean when I say that by scorning red states, you're scorning potential allies. Alabama made these strides without help from national dem organizations, who I assume saw the state as a lost cause. What if they hadn't? Doug Jones won in 2017. Maybe he could have again.
In the AL race for governor, the R incumbent won by only 4%, and the state shifted left by 26%. This in spite of our districts being harshly re-gerrymandered just this year! And look at Mississippi! This is what I mean when I say I don't believe these states are quite as red as you're led to believe
it's a very good morning to lie to cis people
What are you doing, telling journalists you'll vote for transphobes??? For goodness sake, LIE! Spicy election day take from @ket.bsky.social, sure to live up your Tuesday discourse. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...
the south gave you useless yankee fucks the new deal and nonetheless you're all nonstop ralphing up shit like "your strategy of running huey longs, a guy everybody fucking loved whose politics still rack up like 70%+ approval, pales in comparison to my strategy, running gremlins from ExxxonPalantir"
You GOTTA get this motherfucker out like Day One, gang
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) now talking about Dems taking back the Senate tonight. "Against all odds, Democrats have won the Senate," he says. "We have five words for the American people: relief is on the way."
i am once again asking you to tell cis people you aren't voting for trans democrats even if you are voting for transphobic democrats: assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...
john bel in LA: "trans ppl are neat" also john bel: *wins 2 gov elections so hard they put a const amndmnt on the ballot to prevent him running again* keisha in GA: "trans ppl are neat" also lance bottoms: *wins gov election* shitheads with PhDs in losing: "wE HavE To rUN trAnsphoBEs iN ThE soUTH"
OH MY GOD! Keisha Lance Bottoms wins governor of GEORGIA. WITHOUT throwing trans people under the bus!!!! "I do not believe the government should weigh in on medical decisions made by Georgians and their physicians. " She ran FULLY supporting trans youth care!
workers at the US capitol building diligently installing those bathroom signs that are like a picture of bigfoot and an alien and it says “whatever, just wash your hands”

I think it's worthwhile to talk about how something like this even happens. Why the *fuck* would a freezer be controllable from the internet? Well...:
Cyberpunk character: I've hacked the grocery store's freezers. If they don't pay up, all their frozen food will expire. Audiences, 2016: Wow that's ridiculous. Why would the freezers be connected to the internet at all? Sweden, 2026:

Say you are invited to two questionable transition care sources. One hosted on a suspicious Accord server where you're supposed to take HRT competitively. One hosted deep in the woods and provided by a demon only known as "The Withered Lord." You decide to go to the demon. (For obvious reasons.)
Does that make you a gamerphobe or just someone who understand pros and cons?
