Worth a read. It's wild to me how far American society has regressed with respect to accepting transgender people, cross-dressing, gender-bending, etc. You couldn't turn on a TV, watch a movie or read a culture magazine in the 80s without seeing positive depictions.

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

They grabbed her because they didn’t like her hijab.
She says they sexually assaulted her and said things like “what are you hiding under your hijab”

A big feature of hating the poor, is people wildly overestimating how much help is available to the poor, and the quality of that help.
They imagine welfare is an easy to get, comfortably livable income, or imagine we eat well off charity, when irl rich donors commonly use charity to offload waste

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
