Weird how The Free Press was able to publish all of these without comment from the Washigton University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

You CANNOT claim to be an ally to the LGTBQ community and support this awful bill. Your office blatantly ignored our Boston coalitions pleas, so let’s see how you feel about those phones being melted. CALL HER!

This Trans Day of Remembrance we’re holding the memory of countless trans lives lost to bigotry and hatred, and fighting like hell to preserve trans lives still with us today!
Trans people deserve to be seen + celebrated, not erased. Trans people deserve real allyship, not censorship.
STOP KOSA

It's weird how noting a guy's publicly awful comments on rape and rape victims gets you labeled "shrill." As if we reserve that adjective for one particular type of individual! But who???

I’ll never possess the level of gall or presumptuousness it would take to tell a stranger what they “have to” do. Like no, they don’t actually! Perhaps they should, but even that isn’t a stranger’s business. Unsolicited advice is bad enough from family, all the more insufferable from strangers.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

The Supreme Court appears ready to side with Trump in bringing back “gay conversion therapy.”
This practice involves physically abusing teenagers to try to turn them heterosexual, including with electric shocks and chemically-induced nausea.

As one of the countless people *actually* cancelled by Bari Weiss, via her vast favor-trading networks of fellow nepotistic gatekeepers in media and publishing, I think both of these asinine dipshits should go fuck themselves.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Remember when these guys ran a completely fabricated story about trans kids sourced to a single bigot who worked at St Louis Children’s Hospital and it got so much traction that they ended a bunch of programs for trans kids because of all the bomb threats

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women.
The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

The whole thing with Charlie Kirk really does confirm what I’ve long suspected about right wing assholes:
They want it to be illegal not to like them.
It’s the same reasoning as incels but for everyone’s attitudes towards them, not just women.

My dad used to get mad at me for saying mean (read: true and accurate) things about Morning Joe and Chuck Todd. Now he gets mad at me for saying mean (again: true and accurate) things about lib newsfluencers instead, citing subscriber numbers in defense as if those count as credentials. 🫠

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him
