Toxic masculinity is threatened by transness because we can reveal what men say to each other when they think women aren't listening.
TERFs are threatened by transness because they align themselves with toxic masculinity in order to be closer to power.

Periodic reminder that the vast majority of cis people are 100% cool with us, and they had to spend billions of dollars to get even a small number of them to hate us

I honestly don’t hate the picture of all the Chicago cops protecting Tesla because showing a bunch of armed agents of the state openly enforcing Elons will is revealing the truth of our situation much more clearly than anything protestors could show
Last month, I said Americans are now involuntary employees of Elon Musk: Our labor will be converted into federal subsidies for his businesses.
Now Chicagoans’ tax dollars (including mine 🙋🏼♀️) are being used to protect Musk’s capital instead of the people of the city.

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

This is great advice, instead of screenshots of the 150th anti-woke grifter this week, boost something positive, talk about something you like, get eyeballs on some neat indie games that's underappreciated, it mightn't get you big numbers as a sweet dunk, but can make a real difference to small devs
Fun game for games sphere folks: any time you see awful behavior, instead of sharing it, go scan the Indie Game feed or Game Development feed for something that looks cool but isn't getting much traction, and share that instead
I promise it'll make ya feel better, ditto for your followers

We Have Always Existed Transgender Ancient History

They can claim being transgender is made up by freedom hating co...

The fall of the Al-Assad government is going to have a larger impact than most folks realize. We’re already seeing the evacuation of the critically important Russian naval base in Tartus. But with the fall of Al-Assad’s Alawite government, Iran no longer has a direct land bridge to Lebanon.
