Everything is transgender now. Welcome to trans womanhood, cis women.

Ok what the actual fuck, @wired.com!!!! Calling perimenopause a “buzzword” is wild, misogynist work that minimizes a decades long feminist movement to raise awareness about women’s health This article could have been good but instead is … very very bad

I thought the thing a lot of people didn't like about the nebulous woke 1 era, for lack of a better term, was the cynical deployment of identity. But thinking about the depressing trans M4A discourse yesterday, it seems like that's the only thing centrists liked about it. That's the only thing left.

I'm worried that conservatives will remove the environmental protections for the lake I like to swim in by abusing the EPA, so my solution is that we shouldn't have any federal environmental laws. The private market will ensure we never have pollution at my lake. Subscribe to my substack.

Does anyone in this discussion understand how Medicare and federalism work in the US

To be honest, I've struggled with this. I do not like the govt having a single lever by which they can turn off all HRT in the US. The current system in the US disperses the levers into a LOT of different places, which is why it's been almost impossible for Trump to eliminate it entirely.

Spending time in Oslo and Copenhagen has turned me into the joker when it comes to US transit debates I fear.

What's another term for someone who is type A with ADHD besides transsexual?

Wrong, the bus should drive fast and also have an rpg turret to deal with rogue F150s

I wrote this essay more than three years ago while Gessen was still playing defense for the NYT's anti trans reporting and scolding trans women for daring to disagree with them so I'm not really impressed actually. www.autostraddle.com/overheating-...

M. Gessen has written a truly extraordinary piece about the "soft fascism" faced by transgender people in America, and by trans people in Kansas particularly. Beautifully written and reported, deeply humane. I really hope you'll read it. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/o...

When I think about trans people in sports, I don’t think about lobbies or legislation. I think about my friends. Wrote about pick-up hoops, queer community and love:

Column: When I think about transgender people in sports, I think about my friends

Despite the rabid fixation upon the concept of trans women in sports, those who beat the drum the loudest for exclusive policies rarely seem to care about trans people themselves.

Ok I logged in out of sheer pettiness because I’ve always found her annoying and found this!!

One of the reasons many cities are becoming more homogenous and interchangable and boring, especially on the West Coast, is because tech people do not support or see value in the arts. They don't go to the theater or give to local art museums, unlike other rich people.

everything really is transgender now

New research reveals this ecosystem works, and how pickup artists (PUA) influencers are using Meta's products, including its smart glasses and social media platforms, to perpetuate a culture of harassment against women. @samleecole.bsky.social reports. Read now: www.404media.co/meta-ray-ban...

It's very important that you learn to communicate in ways other than call-out posts if you desire to build a better world.

besides the point i guess but wild animals do have shit on their butts. then they clean their shitty butts with their tongues.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

every single page in cosmo t-girl is smacking me in the face with a brick

a lot of what the right does nowadays is create an emotional support system for bigots. bigotry will offend and alienate people in your life, so the right looks provides a counterweight that lavishes you with praise.

If a woman doesn't send a black windowless van to pick you up for your "date" in the secret soundproof room under her house, she isn't worth your time. I don't see why this is controversial.
