FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

want to address this one because it’s a common misconception. this whole thing is entirely astroturfed transphobia, and if “good faith” people bought it they never looked into the science (there is no physical advantage for trans girls over cis girls) or the fact that this was a settled matter

Sometimes I think of how much genius, talent, & possibility we've been robbed of in this world bc wealthy white men refuse to not be absolute ghouls to everyone. The women who lost opportunities bc they wouldn't trade their bodies for them. The of color & queer folks stifled just because. It sucks.
