Someone brought up Spawn, I didn't want to do this in their thread promoting a comic, but I'll say here I had the privilege of going to a free prescreening of the Spawn movie in the 1990s. Comics fans one and all. Many of us Spawn fans.
We all walked out thinking it was the worst movie ever made.

I agree with 2015 Gavin Newsom.
If you think that living our lives out loud is about human dignity and self worth, then it should be non-negotiable, and a grand total of zero politicians who agree with Charlie Kirk on restricting trans dignity and self worth should receive your money or your vote.

I'm not a big believer in horseshoe theory, but if you want to blow your own mind, try defending the proposition that the essence of womanhood is victimization within a scheme of sexist exploitation and simultaneously reject the idea that equal pay for equal work is an attack on all women.
This is part of a thoughtful thread of replies, which I will now cheapen by saying my instinctive response to the radfem idea that woman is defined by being on the bad side of an uneven power relationship was "Then every woman should just become a man, then."
I think to some degree it's valid/necessary to hinge parts of your identity and your understanding of that identity on oppression you face, that is huge part of who we are, but hinging ALL of your identity on your oppression just makes you vulnerable to radicalization. You're dehumanizing yourself.

1/x: This what drives me nuts about the hubris and epistemic confidence of the VBNMW crowd.
Yes, elected Dems aren't embodying Nazism. So it seems like VBNMW is a form of harm reduction.
But VBNMW made Nazism inevitable by empowering Dems who laid the social foundation.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

However depraved and horrible you think ICE's actions were on the day they killed Alex Pretti, here comes an interview with the woman he was trying to help to prove those actions were worse. Worse than I even imagined.
“They were hellbent on not allowing anybody to help him until he was dead,” she said. “I was right there, and they — all of them — made the decision to deny me access to give him the best possible chance of survival.”
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: “I was literally begging the agent who was holding me back to let me do CPR,” she told The Intercept.

I am one of the most published academics on the childhood social transition, with 5 peer reviewed articles that relate to the topic.
There is so much evidence of benefit of social transition.
There is no evidence of harm. Not one jot.
This will literally kill trans kids. No exaggeration.

The ethics rules for lawyers are not only entirely insufficient, they're fundamentally misguided.
what’s the most obvious on-the-ground truth that your profession knows, but people don’t live like it’s true?
what other jfc-inducing truths are sitting in plain sight for people who know how to see what’s happening?
