Psst! Professional Life Coach here ^_^ I’m going to let you in on a little secret the self-help industry doesn’t want you to know: 🤫

The key to getting what you want in this life is whining really loudly about it and stomping around a little bit in a circle with your fists clenched at your sides

quote with your beefy women n____n

A colored drawing of Briar, a fat butch woman with short choppy black hair, attacking with a chain weapon in an arcing motion. Dust and debris from the environment swirls around her as she moves.

A page of black and white drawings of Toma, a muscular, black-haired woman with a monstrous right arm, right eye, and left foot.

A spread of 2 drawings of Xeri, a muscular woman covered in scars with horns and a long tail. She has choppy brown hair tied into 2 long braids.

A black and white drawing of Briar, a fat butch woman with short, black, choppy hair. She is gripping a taut chain with both hands, seeming to strain to hold it.

The Next One
Here's what's going to happen next.
Somewhere, right now, a trans person is teaching a class, or coaching a team, or working at a library, or providing healthcare. They're doing their job. They're probably good at it. And at some point, someone is going to have a problem with them. Maybe a parent, maybe a student, maybe a coworker. The problem won't really be about job performance. The problem will be that they're trans.
That person, or someone connected to them, will take their grievance to social media. If they're lucky, Libs of TikTok will pick it up. Or Turning Point. Or one of the other accounts that have built massive followings by turning trans people into content. The post will frame the trans person as a predator, or a groomer, or a bully, or a tyrant. It won't matter what actually happened. The framing is the point.

Then the calls will start. To the school board, to the administration, to the HR department. Local news will cover the "controversy." A state legislator will demand an investigation. The institution, desperate to make the problem go away, will put the trans person on leave. Maybe they'll be fired outright. Maybe they'll resign because the harassment makes it impossible to do their job. Either way they're gone.
And then the person who started it all will go on Fox News. They'll get a GoFundMe. Maybe a speaking gig at a conservative conference. If the story is big enough, if it goes viral enough, they might get something more. A podcast. A book deal. A center with their name on it.
This is not a guess. This is a pattern. We've watched it happen over and over again, and we will keep watching it happen until the institutions that capitulate to these campaigns start recognizing them for what they are: coordinated attempts to purge trans people from public life, dressed up as individual controversies.

@bosh.worstpossible.world

the latter problem can only exist if you treat disability accommodations as a secondary carve-out rather than designing systems for access first

mtsw @mtsw.bsky.social · 2d

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.
