Trump: "I oppose the UK accepting a 100 year lease because they sublet to the US military and 99 years from now we might be operating paddlewheel steamships out of Diego Garcia because the world is definitely not becoming more accessible to ever newer, ever faster forms of transport."
Trump: "We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the U.K., but they have to remain strong in the face of Wokeism, and other problems put before them. DO NOT GIVE AWAY DIEGO GARCIA!"

If they can charge a cis lesbian wrestler, they can charge a bi/pansexual wrestler.

It has come to my attention that some vulnerable people may have been confused by a certain vagueness in the English language.
If someone suggests to you that you can lay down in the tall grass while they do their stuff, their "stuff" is not gardening.
That is all.

@anamariecox.bsky.social started an interesting thread on internet arguments and how one shouldn't expect to "win".
But an exception is trans topics.
Where info is low and emotions high, changing minds is easier than you might think.

This, IMO, is the most important note to any polling on trans "issues."
Most people don't have strongly held positions, but they have real emotional reactions to these topics - how we shape, explain, and humanize matters a lot.
Leaders (elected & otherwise) & media have an outsized responsibility.

But while support for trans athletes increased support for bathroom access decreased. So what does this say? First it reminds us that polls are a snapshot in time. Second it shows that where the public is on trans equality is not static. It can change.

The best side career was, of course, when Alison Blaire went undercover for 13 months manufacturing disco balls to solve the disappearance of Vicki Sue Robinson from a NYC club.
Blaire wouldn't want to brag, but when she entered the world of solving disco crimes, she really turned that beat around.

Lots of cis folks wonder why I gotta mention sex so much. Like, "Girl, why are you so hypocouth with that? Bringing sex into conversations when no one asked?"
But the thing is, cis society trained me this way. Before they sell someone a wristwatch they wanna know if the shopper has a dick or vag.

Okay, totally not the point, but the euro-leather fag bar in Portland (The Eagle - these bars are often named The Eagle) was on Burnside & I walked past many times. SO one day a couple friends of mine open the door and go in.
Whoops! That place did not exist to serve us. We had a laugh & left.

Everything Moore says is good & correct & you should listen.
But also let's remember that in the 80s and 90s when they were "realizing" this, trans people were yelling to their faces that they were stupid and needed to realize this.
So yes, they "realized" but let's not give them too much credit.

The gender affirmative model, like the Affirmative Model for homosexuality was arrived at when therapists noticed they were doing more harm than good by insisting on driving an agenda of correction rather than following a humanistic patient centred approach.

But a lot of us are out and have practice dealing with belligerent, ignorant cissies. We must protect our vulnerable, but I don't know why that protection doesn't involve more of us threatening that we will ... comply with the law.

I think most (not all) of the "vote for Gavin Newsom you ignorant fuckmelons" people are idiots who are mad that trans people have "moms" and "dads" who would stand between their child and a pack of raging lions, so they ain't gonna okay demonizing their child bc of a good social media intern.
I think most (not all) of the "I will never vote for Gavin Newsom" people are communists who are mad that Americans don't like communism and want to destroy the Democratic party out of revenge. They don't care how many elections Republicans win or how many trans people die as long as the Dems fall.

Drafting a poll. Hilary Cass has been spouting a lot of stuff that should get push-back in the media, but doesn't, like policing haircuts and nicknames to prevent trans cooties. Yet bc of the Cass report ppl treat her as an authority.

I would give a lot of money to someone on a high-profile news-interview show to simply ask,
"How do you police the haircuts of children who don't tell the NHS that they think they're trans? And what government department should be in charge of approving children's haircuts, do you think?"

But those children, the tiny number who because they are trans will only be happy being allowed to transition and grow up to be trans adults, have to be subjected to gatekeeping around FUCKING HAIRCUTS AND PREFERRED NAMES, in order to protect some cis queer kids from haircuts and preferred names.

"Fuck Gavin Newsom/Wes Streeting/Your Country's Version" is a far more reliable indicator, when placed in someone's bio, than a generic, "I'm an ally! 🏳️⚧️"

When a trans person says they don’t trust Gavin.
The current trend is for random people with “ally” in their profile telling us to concede our rights because we should be embracing the current fascist regime not shaming it.
Not actually listen to real trans people. More educated than them
