"be kind" is a strange phenomenon. Ascribed to trans people, but almost exclusively referenced byTERFs/GCs

Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 18h ago

I would like to also point out, as I was mentioned in this article [unnamed transgender activist] that I've never said 'be kind' seriously in my life. Fuck shit up if it needs it.

Importantly, the mob attacked the trans woman for *the possibility* of using the women's restroom. Not for actually doing so. Keep that in mind, that discourse about bathrooms is a veil for more violent fantasies.

A trans couple has been brutalized by a mob, and then the trans woman ended up being arrested afterwards, at a public bathroom in Louisiana. EITM writer S Baum investigates this horrible act of violence in our latest piece. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

What is the purpose of "sex-based rights!?" Any reasonable answer would involve sociological reasons, all of which apply to transfeminine people as female

The Julie Tétart story is a hilarious microcosm of transmisogyny and sexism. Guys, she's 34 on the *2nd tier* of the French Women's League. She's not good enough for the WNBA as it is... Otherwise she would be in the premier league lol

“Protecting youth women’s sports” is fundamentally an issue about denying trans kids access to medical care btw. Because if a trans girl goes natal through puberty they’re a biological male. But if they don’t they’ve had proper puberty and then cannot be a biological male according to their logic.

pleased to announce that I've been hired by The New York Times. my job is to commission articles written by right-wing politicians, activists, and billionaires where they describe their activities in whatever way they see fit. it's nice because I don't have to edit or fact check anything

Phantasms of imagined dystopian camps that never happened while the current US government is literally, physically putting innocent people in concentration camps camps is actually on point. Remember the Republican moral panic over the nonexistent, imaginary FEMA camps?

Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · 2d ago

These guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.

The British Press: “He was simply an inimitable wit and raconteur, who lit up the pages with his silver-tongued prose.” The raconteur in question: “I am a paedophile.”

Another example where the explanation for these people being *extremely* angry and relentlessly seeking publicity for their wacky ideas is: they’re just right wing cranks. They have constructed elaborate window dressing for themselves but they really are just quite nasty, spiteful reactionaries.

Narrator: “It was.”

Tony Bird@tonybirdlondon.bsky.social · 3d ago

Be interesting to see who mourns the death of a journalist who was arrested for punching his pregnant partner and who said he couldn't become a teacher because "I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids." Bet it's the "protecting women and children" crew

Caster Semenya, Brittney Griner, the list goes on and on. It's usually just racism.

Lauren Theisen@laurentheisen.bsky.social · 3d ago

Imane Khelif, Barbra Banda, now the Cunningham circus - it's kind of amazing how many "trans women in sports" controversies don't actually involve a single trans woman

Not loving the path that all of this seems to be on, tbh

riley gaines is at the minnesota lynx vs indiana fever game posing with people courtside as they line up for photos

The narcissism about this is apparent, since Rod Little infamously was not nice to most people (what with him beating his pregnant partner, a career dedicated to racism, supporting a fascist party, writing about how he looked up CSAM and wanted to molest children), and they celebrate him for this

Robert Dallas Gray@robertdallasgray.com · 3d ago

the abject shallowness of our media classes never, ever fails to shock me. ‘but he was nice to me’ is something you should have grown out of by double figures

Should it really surprise anyone that Greer is a pedophile when she feels entitled to comments as degrading as this?

"Just because you lop off your [genitals] and then wear a dress doesn't make you a [woman]. I've asked my doctor to give me long ears and liver spots and I'm going to wear a brown coat but that won't turn me into a [cocker spaniel]." - Germaine Greer

Undergoing estrogenic pubertal development is entirely relevant to sex categorization in society (being that we cannot see gametes) Comparing sexual differentiation of humans with different species is ANTI-feminist

Won't you think of the poor little police officer, harmed by the captive trans body she is strip-searching?

Dildos were being thrown on the WNBA court last year and not one Republican spoke up about it because none of them were watching because they don’t give a fuck about women sports UNTIL an anti trans statement is made by a woman then they champion them, people are so fucking dumb

really loving all the protests against and support for trans women happening in and around the WNBA, a league that has never had a trans woman play in it. we’re just THAT interesting to talk about! for everyone! how fun!!!!

I don't think a police officer should call trans women "cocks in frocks"

Well now. If she *was* fired for her GC views, are we to infer that GC views are represented by the phrase "cocks in frocks" and that this is Worthy Of Respect In A Democratic Society? Because I think that might be a problem.

Police officers have a code of conduct. Rachel Fletcher ignored that which is why she was fired for gross misconduct. GC's said she was fired for standing up to strip searches + gc views, that is poppycock. Crying now because she has a family is a bit late, she should have thought of that before

Jesse Singal, 2 days later, is doing the self-ID talking point again where it is not relevant. Seemingly, he is using the momentary controversy in the WNBA to open the possibility of rejecting trans identity altogether. Also, no Dems did not go "all in" on Self-ID." This sucks

Chloe@queertheorychlo.bsky.social · 6d ago

Jesse singal seems to think that trans women "self-ID" into sports. Does he even realize he's just mixing up stuff? A man who made all his money off trans people and yet so careless.

This is racism. Bizarre conspiracist racism at that. It's like those who assume aliens had to have built the pyramids. Singal and Ryan should never be permitted to write in national publications again for this alone.

Rav@rvbdrm.com · 4d ago

its always two dumb bitches telling each other exactlyyyy

AMY SOUSA? You have NOTHING to say about her long, long history of vicious anti-trans missives? She's just an "organizer" here, not an "anti-trans activist?" She doesn't even care about sports, she hates trans women and never ever shuts up about it

"I'm a really smart journalist guy! Remember when Democrats went 'all in' on 'self-ID?' I'm very smart 🤓"

Theodor Adorno writes that the cultural products of fascism bill themselves as trendy and cutting edge despite clinging to outdated forms as signifiers of excellence. The "red pill" mindset is our modern iteration, in which reactionary ideas are presented as radical and contrarian

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 4d ago

on the right, "bravery" is when you're willing to be criticized by liberals, even if the position you're taking is fully embraced by the federal government and half the states.

You’re damaging the reputation of Beira’s Place all on your own, by admitting to me the fact that they will, if they decide they don’t like you, ignore confidentiality to share someone’s call as a joke for the public.

a republican congressman allegedly broke his two-year-old daughter's collarbone and he somehow hasn't been run out of congress. there really is no bridge too far for these ghouls.

Perfect bit of satire applicable to many issues. Trans issues in particular seem constructed to encourage cultural prejudice to overtake critical thought

Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · 5d ago

Look, I don't know much about this issue, but according to the media I consume which is carefully engineered to piss me off,
