Introduction 🧵
I’m an old Midwestern white trans lesbian. I write software for a quantum computing startup. I have multiple overlapping flavors of neurodivergence.
I was raised by television in the 80s, so I’m nostalgic for pop culture of that era.
I take too much at face value.

heard someone say that calling trans women women was a "linguistic formality" and it highlights how liberal ignorance of our lives has evolved their supposed allyship into a kind of paternalistic pity in which they feel they are burdened w pretending im someone im not bc it's the "nice" thing to do
its really frustrating that "the truth matters and so does doing the right thing" is not a valid reason for supporting trans rights in mainstream discourse. rn the popular conception is that trans rights are a kind and gentle lie

going to start asking that they put “Model UN delegate“ in my bios, given that that was 30 years ago and true for approximately three years
"Father Ted" is a 30-year-old sitcom that appeared for three seasons. Maybe it's time to drop it from transphobic bigot Graham Linehan's bio in the newspapers.

“trans identifying“ is one of the worst possible turns of phrases
it is othering and dehumanizing
saying someone “identifies as having cancer” is tantamount to saying “is lying about having cancer”
i’m not choosing to be trans. “trans” is not a thing i’m ~doing~. it’s just part of who i ~am~.

To any of my cis followers who might be wondering what's wrong with the BBC's phrasing...
- "biological male" is deliberate misgendering
- it also implies that trans people are somehow being deceptive, because "biology"
- no trans person "identifies as" *anything*. We just *are*
Hope that helps.

It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:

James Carville is either one of the dumbest or one of the most malicious people alive
he still wants a system where some people are protected and unpunished, and others are punished and unprotected
this is textbook conservative thinking
is it possible to instill compassion in an adult?

He then comments on how the GOP divides Dems. The two minutes of being right is coming to an end.
His solution to the problem of division?
Throw all the vulnerable groups under the damned bus.
He was half right about something 30 odd years ago. Now his two minutes are up.
James, shut up.

it is absolutely morally correct to lie to your healthcare provider or insurance provider or politician or parent or any other person of power (even a partner) who inserts themselves between you and your autonomy
Apparently, it's unsafe because the drug somehow knows a trans person is taking it.
But at the same time they might not be trans 🫠
It's completely incoherent, but as you can see - this is targeted primarily at transphobes.

You contemptible pig! I remained celibate for you. I stood at the back of a cathedral, waiting, in celibacy, for you, with three hundred friends and relatives in attendance. My uncle hired the best Romanian caterers in the state, Charlie Brown.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die, Charlie Brown.

No, Charlie Brown. I'm trying to tell you when you're ready, you won't have to.
Okay. Yes. We’re bored now. We’re all bored. But has it ever occurred to you, Charlie Brown, that the process which creates this boredom that we see in the world now may very well be a self-perpetuating unconscious form of brainwashing created by a world totalitarian government based on money?
