If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

I can truly imagine a day when they will outlaw anything that reduces "natural boobage." (A law that will exist alongside a prohibition against going braless. It doesn't have to make sense.)
Thinking about how I felt before I got breast reduction surgery and how tight sports bras allowed me to align my body with my self-image. This stuff is not JUST about oppressing and delegitimizing trans people (tho it is definitely that); it is also about policing *all* body autonomy.
The FDA says tight underwear is a medical device if trans people enjoy wearing it.

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.
