I’m getting so tired of reading otherwise spirited defenses of the civil rights of people who are considered other and seeing disabled folk either completely left off or maybe, if we’re lucky, given a passing mention.
I get it. You’re scared of us. But this doesn’t end without examining that.

Okay, so like. Everyone? Even progressives, allies, cis queer people, and yes, trans people treat trans women as simply men-in-drag and consider the inclusion of trans women in women's spaces to be a kind of wedge into gender-neutrality.
It's pervasive!

There are a lot of things people get wrong about trans women but "making this space welcoming to cis men will make it more welcoming to trans women!" is I think the most wrong and also most common thing that a lot of folks are maddeningly attached to.

Market concentration → Less competition → Higher prices for consumers → Corporate profits at 70-year high → Record stock buybacks → Higher shareholder value → More power for corporations and the rich.
How do we fight back? Break up monopolies and rebuild union power.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.

The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.
What researchers have discovered about maternal, infant health under Texas' abortion laws

When you see stuff like this, remember that the people endorsing it also believe several levels of civilization currently exist and consider the logical conclusion about how they see people in the ones they consider less advanced: that "they" feel less pain than "we" do.
A common assumption is that throughout history, people have experienced the same basic range of emotions. A radical field of history now challenges this assumption, Gal Beckerman reports. theatln.tc/KD2QRX9Y

I’m not even quite as anti-car as some folk, but yeah, there is no good reason for cars to be this goddamn huge and dangerous, other than an individualistic arms race with all the other people who think they need a big car to protect them from big cars. Ban them.
SUVs and big Utes "are 44 per cent more likely to kill an adult pedestrian or cyclist in a crash compared with a sedan, and 82 per cent more likely to kill a child" www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
Pedestrian fatalities reach 17-year-high. This trend could be why
Fifty-one pedestrians had been killed on the state’s roads this year as of Saturday – the most in any calendar year since 2008.
