"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

Young Rumi: "...do Hunters kill all demons?" Celine:
"Yes." Young Rumi: "So everything that has patterns?" She reveals the demon marks she has on one shoulder.
Celine forces Rumi's sleeve back down. Celine: "Cover those up. You only have those because-" Young Rumi:
"My dad was a demon?" Celine: "You're not one of them, Rumi. You're a Hunter, like your mother was.
When the Honmoon is sealed, all demons will be gone from this world. And so will your patterns."
Remove the ability for trans people to openly exist, and you will no longer have to worry about being trans, Rumi. This is what she was taught for her entire life, and honestly, so many of us were taught that too, even if not explicitly.
It's every time we laugh at a man in a dress or a boy who likes dolls, or laugh at a woman with a deep voice or a girl with a short haircut.
We are taught to mock, deride, and hate ourselves. And most of us spend our entire lives trying to undo the INTERNALIZED TRANSPHOBIA that society implanted in us.

At once I am happy, because Obsidian (yay) are making a new Fallout (yay) game. Then I am furious, because layoffs (boo), Avowed 2 cancelled (boo), and Microsoft (boo). I at least hope the (remaining) devs get to have some fun with the IP again, and it spawns as many memes as New Vegas.

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.
