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.

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"

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

A map of Alabama, showing that every county shifted blue politically

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"

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!

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.)
