his estrogen dosage is very clearly feminizing and you can see how the fat on this face migrated upwards

They tried this distinction in Silence of the Lambs and it still turned Gen X into a bunch of sleeper agents ready for genocidal transphobic activation in the event that gay marriage was ever passed so I would really rather you didn't do that if it's all the same to you.

A lot of discourse around the *why* of transness really does come down to “so what?” Born this way? A choice? Arousal? Dysphoria? A simple desire to just say “fuck you” to the norms? None of it matters, all of it is valid. No one is being harmed by self-determination, no matter the reason.

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄 (Mostly Updates ) @goddessblade.bsky.social · 17h

IMO the most egregious thing about AGP theory is how deeply FAKE the whole panic is based on the evidence.

If gendered self-arousal as a trait exists, SO WHAT? There’s no evidence linking it to any kind of bad behavior—the connection is entirely engineered by conjecture and transmisogyny!

Alice In Wunderland @aliceinwunderl3.bsky.social · 2d

I also just do not think that being aroused by the idea of a being a woman is a murderous arousal and the only reason for that connection is a patriarchal obsession with elevating manhood, as the fuckor and never the fuckee, as the greatest state any human can achieve.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Screenshot of David Simon interview
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

like do they not know that thinking about things, coming to greater understanding and enjoying beauty are *it*?

I mean to say nothing of the incredible foot-shooting of the UK economy - a massive cultural exporter to the world - deciding that a degree in 'producing culture' isn't valuable.

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 23h

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

It’s also why so many VERY popular FMCs have little to no personality or interests or opinions. I really think it’s where the “unlikeable” FMC comes from a lot of times.

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
