I still think the Wall Street Journal should pay every trans person in America roughly $10k each for that "trans bullet casings" story they concocted

these polls always blow my mind, from just the last few years:

poll showing 66% of americans support gender-affirming care for minors, including 70% of republicans

poll showing over 60% of republicans in kentucky support gender-affirming care for minors

poll showing 56% of americans associate 'woke" with "informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices"

poll showing 67% of americans support trans athletes right to join teams matching their gender identity, including 66% of republicans

People surprised that some formerly sensible left-leaning or liberal women are now apparently full of admiration for white supremacists, rapists and genocide might note that their entry point for far right radicalisation was invariably a belief that transphobia is ‘feminist’. Just saying.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

The Nazis did campaign on eradicating queers, yes. It was foundational to their ideology for the entire time they were a vocal political party.

Oh so it's fine because he didn't campaign on it! That he actually did those things doesn't matter! It's just the campaign that matters!
Fun for all the trans people involved!

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

I have, however, given up caring if my continuing to talk about COVID makes people feel bad.

My mother died of COVID complications this year. And one thing everyone told me was "I didn't realize COVID was still around/could do this" and it still makes me angry enough to spit teeth.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

Ive always hated math, but somehow used to make As in every math course all the way up to Intermediary Calculus. Also I know how to use a calculator.
I do therefore might know enough to know that if you reduce the price of drugs by 650%, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

I'd have not consented to having sex with a few ppl had I known what a prick they were behind lies and deception.

If I or any other woman took this to the cops we would be laughed at and called a slag for not being careful who we open our legs to.

Ciara Watkin is in prison for being transgender.
