Okay, Alt-text experts:
I write alt-text all the time, but I just had to alt-text Betty White saying, "Maaaaybe!" and I realized that I don't know how screen readers handle that sort of thing & if it actually comes across or if it's better for folks depending on alt-text if I spell it by the book.

1/x: I respect AMC and we agree on lots. I think this particular statement needs refinement, however, so I'm gonna give y'all a short thread. If you're AMC fans and inclined to dismiss her "opponents" I still hope you give this thread a shot.
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

I knew a cis dyke named - and I kid you not - Duke.
We met at a training by the local prosecutor's office for ppl who were volunteering to support rape/sexual assault complainants.
She had no trouble being cis or feeling solidarity with cis women. Feminist to the core, and a great person.

How many big passing butches do you know called Max or Sam, or by Tee because their given name at birth was Tiffany and they can't go out of the house with that?

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?"
"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.

This was how the moderates upheld segregation.
"Look, we'd love to higher you for the job. You're well qualified. We're not racist here at all. Unfortunately some of our bigger accounts are racist and we might lose their business if we hired a Black man. Sorry. It's not us, it's them."

We (Democrats) need to be smart and nominate a White Man in the 2028 election (probably Straight, sorry Pete) who WILL NOT continue to disrespect women. Some voters are starting to cross over from the chaos. Do not give them a bridge too far.

Exactly. Even if defending the petroleum supply chain was not itself a problem that alt-E tech could drastically reduce/eliminate (though not without creating a commitment to alt-E supply chains), humans are not going to stay on once-productive land that turns uninhabitable.

Let's all acknowledge what's going on.
The KIDS are not having trouble figuring out that being gender non-conforming, queer, and trans are different things. Words are new, info is hidden, but when they have the info, they do fine.
45+yos have trouble & assume kids know less. The opposite is true.

If people are 'less locked into gender stereotypes' then how are they also 'misleading children' into thinking they're trans if they don't conform to said stereotypes?
She's not even making sense on her own terms.

Love how he's all like, "If women vote we'll get sexual immorality!" as if dudes are the sexually moral gender in our history.
Yeah, dudes. None of you have ever done anything sexually immoral and none of you have ever thought it was unfair of the government to care about your sexytimes.
Sure.

Dear trans kids:
If I had two samosas, I'd give you one.
Actually probably not. I go through samosas pretty quickly. But I'd take you with me the next time I got samosas so that we could get a whole whack of them and you could take home half and I'd still be full.

Unless the answer is that you don’t actually want the nominee to move left. That you’re fine with Newsom or whoever running as a moderate, and this is less about pragmatism and more about not wanting progressives to have influence over the platform. Which, if that’s the case, just say that.

I know it's easy to believe that this will do nothing to change the Trump Admin's mind, but they are VERY BAD at following the APA and having a record of thoughtful comments opposing these policies makes it more likely a judge can kill them.

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17
One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage
Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states

The patriarchs and their apologists always seem to forget that the murder rate OF MEN BY WOMEN plummeted after the introduction of no-fault divorce and anti-violence shelters.
Dudes, it doesn't matter if she's deluded by feminism. If she thinks the only way out is death, she might consider yours.

Maria Steen, she of the Holy Handbag, argues in the Times that we should introduce a form of marriage with "no possibility of divorce." Maybe she is too young to remember that we already tried this. It ended very badly for some - that's why we introduced divorce.
