In terms of "fanfic premises where you get a magic sex tattoo on your wrist at 18", I rate this a B-. It's better than your future soulmate's name, but not as good as magically revealing whether you're a dom or sub and sorts you into the matching bom or sub house at BDSM Hogwarts

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

This is the thing! The capitalist class thinks light social democracy is a communist threat that must be put down at any cost. Meanwhile their own reactionary monster is destroying the world market.

Transition is like doing this but thousands and thousands of times.

It's now been over a month since the Trump regime openly declared they intend to eliminate trans people from the United States and not a single Democrat or mainstream media figure or celebrity has cared enough to even mention it.

We very clearly live in a time of mostly elite derangement. I think the mood of the voting public is mercenary: they think of right wing populists as wealth totems. But I do believe that the elites have truly driven themselves insane in the last five years.

i'm sorry what the fuck. gillibrand attends a church which teaches that COVID was God's punishment for permitting gay marriage?

I’ve basically come around to the idea that liberalism is deeply unnatural to human psychology, which evolved in the context of communal living. It's the "delicate fruit of a mature civilization" as Acton put it, and takes constant effort to preserve

"An Amy Acton win,without change in message, won't push dems further against trans people, that's just silly."

We have updated our coverage of congressional candidate Jamie Ager's conservative turn to include directly transphobic remarks by Ager himself, including his support for a trans sports ban and referring to trans women as "men."

We warmed everyone that this would happen. The normalization of bigotry within the Democratic Party was the biggest threat that her taking this position could pose.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 5d ago

Anyone who thinks an Amy Acton victory won’t convince Democrats to adopt anti-trans stances should read any related thread on /r/Ohio. The number of liberals and Democrats that have now fully adopted trans sports bans being good in Ohio is unreal.

No because the Harper's letter was targeting trans people

Joshua Foust 🪖🎮@joshuafoust.com · 4d ago

Rowling signed the Harper’s Letter, which lamented, “it is now all too common to hear calls for swift and severe retribution in response to perceived transgressions of speech and thought.” Are ANY of her co-signatories — some follow me — going to speak up about her crusade against trans people?

The 50s and 60s must have been an insane time to work in government. "Mr. President, meet the head of NASA's rocket chimp division, Dr. Nazimensch." "Guten Tag, my fur- sorry, Mr. President." "Weren't we at war with them?" "It's important we send the monkey to space or the communists will win."

Batman the animated series made me believe in a formative manner that there’d be a whole Fucking lot more goddamn blimps in my life. But there’s almost no blimps. Every time I see a blimp, I gasp. I shouldn’t have to gasp. Blimp should be around for my life. Where blimp

It bears repeating: we will NEVER have the social acceptance extended to gay people, because straight people can empathize with being in love, but cis people cannot understand gender dysphoria. The best we can hope for is for them to not actively think about hurting us all the time.

the circumstances surrounding protests against Sofia Cunningham’s comments are clearly a test for not only the first amendment but whether people consider trans existence protected by it

Hundreds of sports leagues and hospitals and universities have banned trans people and the national response is... "oh well". The Trump regime is openly saying they're going to eliminate us and the country just... collectively shrugs.

1. In the aftermath of forcing the Ohio Progressive Caucus to delete criticism of Amy Acton for calling trans girls "boys," progressives were promised a meeting with Acton. Now, we have learned she didn't show up, and kicked trans people out of the meeting. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Dem. Ohio Gov Candidate Amy Acton Scheduled a Meeting With LGBTQ+ Advocates, Didn't Show Up, And Kicked Out Trans People Who Did

The meeting was supposed to be Acton's way of making up for calling trans girls "boys."

Hey! So, this has gotten worse! I previously shared here that Acton and her campaign were set to meet with the ODP Progressive Caucus leadership on the 28th. That's today, and it was a worst case scenario. (1/?)

1. In major news, the Ohio Dem Party has banned the Progressive Caucus from criticizing candidate for Gov. Amy Acton's transphobia. It has now applied more pressure to quiet criticism of anti-trans politics than it has on its own nominee to stop embracing them. Subscribe to support our journalism.
