i will keep saying that cis people will simply ignore any law they feel like until everyone is forced to stop pretending "sanctuary" states have been doing anything other than corporate marketing. they'll ignore the rest of the law too, just give them time 🏳️‍⚧️

i'm not gonnna lie i'll never forgive what general internet discourse for the past 20+ years said that shit was about compared to what that shit actually ended up being about

The way this rhymes with anti-immigrant narratives isn't a coincidence; patriarchy is a social technology oriented around reproduction, both of hegemonic demographics and hegemonic values. Conservative calls to violence are always bolstered by a presumed threat against "their" "women".

In the transphobic narrative gender-conservatives traffick in, the transfeminine spectre is a rapacious other while the transmasculine is a corrupted innocence. The dehumanization of both is distinct but linked; transmasculine people are regendered as a patriarchal resource to be protected.

In contrast, transmasculine people are infantilized to strip them of agency, positioning them as reproductive and gestational resources who are being seduced, appropriated, "stolen" and led astray by the sinister [implicitly-male, implicitly transfeminine, implicitly violating] "trans agenda".

One of the reasons for this is that the rhetorical figure of the trans child is never transfeminine. The trans girl is not a figure in the conservative lexicon because the transfeminine is a grotesquerie positioned always as a sexual threat to "real girls", and thus always adultified.

It is the latest development in a story ignited by a comment made by Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham, who said she wanted to protect young girls "who shouldn't have to go against biological men" in sport.

We still don't talk about the way medically transitioning trans boys and transmasc nonbinary kids are the primary focus of the moral panic over trans kids.

She condemned the Biden U.S. arms deal with Israel, and as retaliation the Biden administration opened an investigation against her. The Trump administration is actually piggybacking off that Democratic investigation. Both parties are cesspools of Islamophobia.

Another reason to be thankful, on this Canadian Thanksgiving, that I'm north of the border. It would perhaps be edifying, however, to inquire exactly where the fuck the Democratic Congressional "Leadership" is. Oh, wait, silly me, she's Muslim so they won't lift a finger to help her.

Ilhan Omar is my representative and she fights so hard for us. Represents us well in DC, constantly present in the district, uses her sway to support other politicians, extremely responsive when people need help. The absolute model of an Congressperson. So many of us are ready to stand with her

This is outrageous, despotic shit and everyone who played a role in it should lose their place in polite society. Show us the warrant. Who asked for it? What did they claim? Have there been grand jury proceedings? Who was in charge? And what judge, if any, signed off on the search warrant?

BREAKING: Federal agents searched Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say.

the reality is that other people are INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT to get along with and no political system is going to make up for that yfm, like im not saying everything will be absolutely perfect under communism. the point is that the system will prioritize people over capital, which matters!

interesting, ive never read sartre's own explanation: i took it to mean a secret third thing, which is that we are stuck with each other, but we are all we've got, and no self-serving trickery will get us out of this situation

like im sorry, there WILL be things that you dont like in any society because hell is other people, and i mean that both literally and in the way sartre ACTUALLY MEANT:

 Sarah Bakewell, explains this very well in her book, "At The Existentialist Cafe", and I will quote from it:

'Episodes of competitive gazing recur throughout Sartre's fiction and biographies, as well as in his philosophy. In his journalism, he recalled the unpleasantness after 1940 of feeling oneself looked at as a member of a defeated people. In 1944, he wrote a whole play about it: Huis clos, translated as No Exit
. It depicts three people trapped together in a room: a military deserter accused of cowardice, a cruel lesbian, and a flirtatious gold-digger. Each looks judgementally at at least one of the others, and each longs to escape their companions' pitiless eyes. But they cannot do so, for they are dead and in hell. As the play's much-quoted and frequently misunderstood final line has it: "Hell is other people." Sartre later explained that he did not mean to say that other people were hellish in general. He meant that after death we become frozen in their view, unable any longer to fend off their interpretation. In life, we can still do something to manage the impression we make; in death, this freedom goes and we are left entombed in other people's memories and perceptions.'

They invented an "ethically justifiable Omelas" where instead of one child, it's trans women, and instead of utopia it's a society that's gradually getting worse for some reason even though they keep throwing trans women under the bus

Your regular reminder that in 2023 I was asked on Women’s Hour to be interviewed by Emma Barnett about Alice’s inquest. I said no, because Emma is GC, but I’d go on with someone else. They didn’t engage with me after that. The BBC is biased. It’s anti-trans and anti-anyone who supports trans people.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

If you're a black person accused of academic fraud, the british press and political elite will harass you until you kill yourself. If you're a racism denialist accused of sexual crimes against children, the british press and political elite will *immediately* deploy the wall of silence.

15 outlets published 249 articles about Jason Arday, but there appears to be a partial media blackout regarding Dr Lola Salem, Michael Gove's ex-girlfriend, who has been suspended from Oxford University after being charged with possessing indecent images of children. jamradio.uk/news/2026/10...
