I'm Eri. Fairly trans, very gay, extremely communist. They/fae/she girly cloud of neurosparkly non-binary glitter. Cute as heck.

TERFs, of course, would consider trans people dying from not accessing the correct healthcare for their physiology to be a favourable outcome Not saying OP is doing this but any time someone says "how is this supposed to work" about a transphobe's suggested policy - it isn't

it is of course transphobic bigotry but it should be pointed out that the lie “people need the right healthcare for their biological sex” kills trans people. trans women get breast cancer at far higher rates than cis men. trans men get prostate cancer. hrt changes your sex.

This is something I've been saying for ages re: how centrists treat the left. If left-wing positions aren't popular enough to win elections, then left-wing voters can't lose an election for you. If left-wing voters can tip an election for you, their positions need to be accommodated.

...Assumption #4 has been driving me batshit, yet no one seems to realize it: if you're worried trans ppl might potentially harm your Dem candidate's chances, then YOUR CANDIDATE MADE A BAD DECISION! so why not join us in trying to get them to reverse position? juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

Assumption #4: The elephant in the room that no one is talking about
There is a striking disconnect between Talarico, Turek, et al. — who have clearly made a political calculation that abandoning trans rights will help them more than it will hurt them in this election — and the many cisgender liberals I’ve encountered online who are absolutely freaking out over the possibility that trans people’s critiques and protests will ultimately tank said candidates.
Both of these things cannot simultaneously be true!
If you think your favorite candidate enacted the correct political strategy, then there is no reason to berate trans people for protesting it, as those protests should already be baked into your candidate’s calculations. So why are you berating trans people then? (Unless, of course, you enjoy berating trans people just for the sake of it.)
Alternatively, if you think trans people *are* capable of tanking your favorite candidate via our criticisms and protests, doesn’t that imply that your candidate (and their consultants and strategists) totally fucked up in their political calculations here? And if they did fuck up, shouldn’t you be reaching out and complaining to *them* (rather than berating trans people), in the hope that they might reverse their bad decision?

let me preface this by saying I've had sex, and most of the people I've had sex with had pussies. what is a fifteen pound pussy.

Is there a word aside from “Alex Lifeson” for being an incredibly talented person who is nevertheless outshone by the company they keep “The least notable member of Rush” is a height to which many would aspire and yet, the least notable member of Rush

I'm glad to see we've again reached the cycle of electoral politics where we see the existence of Schroedinger's Left, the electoral demographic that is simultaneously too small to be worth reaching out to with promises and policy and also large enough to sink elections for moderate candidates

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

sorry, but torturing the omelas kid is just a smart move, polling-wise. i personally wish there wasn't a kid in the omelas hole--of course i do!--but let's not get distracted by purity tests, here.

Something about having a box attached to the side of my house managing energy storage and generation turning my place into an energy management system and not just a consumer tickles exactly the right part of my brain We literally only draw power from the grid for four hours a day now.

Absolute lmao at US liberals who want to pull this whole "how can you celebrate someone dying?!" about a healthcare exec serial social murderer. You guys are the ones who assured us seeing dead and dying kids in Palestine and feeling nothing is the price of doing business. You made this world.

TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.

One day US liberals will stop acting like words mean anything to fascists “Oh is Trump saying the elections *he* won are valid and the ones he lost-“ YES. He is saying that elections that express the will of white men are valid and all others are not.

The absolute most charitable read I have on the idea that "speculating on someone's gender is the worst thing you can do" is that when cis people speculate on somebody's gender they mean it as an insult
