BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.

Cis woman on now speaking about how much she has been challenged, had security called on her because she has PCOS. Says she's never had a problem with trans women but multiple problems with GC women. She's on the verge of tears.
With the comment period closed I want to thank anyone who took the time to comment or elevated trans voices about this attack. Whether it comes to incarcerated trans women, owning firearms, or any other issue many liberal-minded folks find uncomfortable it's important to stand up to attacks on us.
I know there's going to be a mixed response to this but there's only one week - until August 4th - left to leave a comment about the ATF's change to background check forms that would de facto single out and ban trans people from legally buying firearms.
thinking back fondly to that time in 2012, 16 years into florida's charter school experiment, after almost 500 charter schools had already failed, when the republican legislature simply made it illegal to examine what happened to someone's last charter when they applied for a new one

Unrestricted access for me meant that I could learn about who I was and people like me (trans) in the early 00s and learn how to take my healthcare into my own hands.
this isn't very popular to say, but for me personally, it was good that i had unrestricted internet access when i was a minor. i was aware of what i was doing and enjoyed it. i don't look back on it and go "well that was a mistake", i look back on it and wish i could do it for the first time again
this is the best comment i've ever seen on any footage of my game. pack it up. there's no topping this.
Black voters actually vote Democratic, white voters keep voting for 'Thank you Mr. Trump, may I have another. And use the cactus this time'.
So El-Sayed is doing better with Black voters and worse with white voters than most people imagined? That’ll be fun for The Discourse.
One day there's going to be a discussion about how a section of democratic pundits give black voters the Magical Negro treatment in a way that is really fucking weird and counterproductive in a way that hurts election results.

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
Yeah hey Turns out when folks say THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ACTION MOVIES OF ALL TIME for 35 years on occasion it is actually true I dunno what I could possibly say that hasn't already been said. Goddamn. That's movies.
Screw it, gonna check another SOMEHOW NEVER SAW IT off the list tonight. Now watching:
british people legally can't talk about their culture of elite pedophilia because they don't have freedom of speech. that's not a right they have. and what speech her undying majesty does permit is subject to prior approval by jo terf.
Americans really don’t get to be talking like this anymore
sometimes i see people's reviews of gfm's "manhunt" like "oh it's too gory and angry and dismal. i want to support Trans Writers(tm) but this is too much" in 2026 like buddy of all things to say about that book did you not see the part about it being a splatterpunk horrorfest

Comment period is closed. I want to thank everyone who put more eyes on this and everyone who chose to leave a comment. This attack against us has largely gone under the radar due to the nature of the right being attacked. An attack on one flank inevitably creates more vulnerabilities.

None of this is ever attempted to be understood by anti trans campaigners, or most sport federations btw. The IOC actually did work to understand this but let federations take their own tailor made approach and they just used it to politically harm trans athletes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When trans people bristled at policies that required time to be on hormones before being able to join elite competition it was because: -time on HRT was arbitrary -testosterone level achieved was arbitrary -maintaining testosterone levels continually is arbitrary -no one else had these restrictions
It also came when: -access to hormones had many onerous requirements -kids were denied the opportunity to medically transition on approved schedules -employment protections for trans people were not won in the U.S. -public knowledge of trans people was incredibly low

NEW: Eleventh Circuit, on an 8-5 vote, holds that Florida's anti-drag law is likely constitutional. A majority of the court, however, disagreed with Just Brasher that the court should rule on whether the statewide injunction entered in the case was an improper "universal injunction." Law Dork:

Not only was she loudly right about everything and reviled for it, in 2017 O'Connor donated 30 years worth of clothes and makeup to trans girls in Ireland.
