Ah this really hits.. Especially the part about feeling deep SHAME at not being able to go sometimes, because the fear of being "caught" is so intense.. I have a list of places with gender neutral restrooms on our Maps, and before we go anywhere I have to find places around I know will have them...

Here's my Cosmo piece about how segregated bathrooms have impacted my own health www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a6...

Some people have *never* had to contemplate whether they'd have bathroom access wherever they're going and it sure shows in the stupid shit they say. I have to contemplate will there be a bathroom I can use every single time I leave the house for more than an hour or whatever.

it's interesting that not trusting big tech companies to be true to their word is painted as "defector" behavior here. ought we default to believing that the tech industry writ large has our best interests at heart? that honest people rise to the top there? why would a person believe that?

First, and most importantly, anti-data center folks refuse to believe data center developers and tech companies engage in good faith. They have staked out a purely reactionary position. Negotiation is useless. Just reject everything by default. They're playing this as Always Defect.

I find it frustrating, personally, when anti-data center organizers say that the job creation is a myth. Because I think that 500 six-figure jobs, for folks who go through apprenticeships but maybe don’t need college degrees, that last two to six years — that’s enough time to build a family, that’s enough time to buy a home. I think it’s supermeaningful. And when I talk to technicians, when I talk to workers, clearly it was extremely meaningful work.

One of the things that was the most surprising to me, when I talked to data center activists, was that they responded to so many of the pro arguments with: I don’t believe them.

So this company says that they are going to treat the water with chemicals in it so that it doesn’t flow into the lakes. People would say: I don’t believe them. I don’t think they can do it.

I've worked in journalism for a long, long time. Trans people's skepticism about and hostility to the field is beyond merited. Honestly, I share a lot of it. I think there's a role for trans journalists when we draw upon, and learn from, the radical tradition. The example is Ida Wells, not the NYT

[800+ laws passed this year alone stripping trans rights/healthcare from millions of Americans, international watchdog organizations warn of our impending genocide, hundreds of thousands forced to flee their homes] cis people: ugh, stop distracting us from other important issues we'll ignore
