I will never understand the mental gymnastics conservatives have to do to say they worry about women’s safety when it comes to a hypothetical threat in bathrooms, but then give no shits about women’s safety regarding their healthcare

It may be hard for some to accept, but the truth is the fate of all women is inherently tied to the fate of trans women.

This is a super important thing to understand! If you've ever wondered why the right fixates on trans people for seemingly no reason, May articulates it very well.
A popular progressive view of transness today is as an individual variation that’s become under irrational attack.
But it’s more useful to understand trans people as cultural minorities with long-standing histories of sexual and social exploitation, history that’s systematically erased.

Transmisogyny is bad when it affects trans women too by the way. Not just because it also affects cis women.

Let's just get one thing straight. Every time Nancy Mace mentions a specific trans person's penis, it's sexual harassment.

A lot of people are shocked by the “points on the board” phrase - as was I - but it was also shocking how common I heard this and other game-type metaphors.
Many who are deeply disconnected from the harm do view and talk about it privately as a kind of sport. It is gross 🤢

Fwiw she is pretty widely disliked even by her GOP colleagues. She’s all over the place. Messy. Fights with them too.
This is the most attention she has gotten in ages despite her many attempts, hence the differences in tack some have taken in this whole brouhaha. She really craves it. It’s weird

Does somebody need to do a wellness check on Nancy Mace? She is absolutely unhinged. She continues to tweet about trans people and bathrooms.

The culture here makes it possible.
After Jan 6th I privately confronted Mace for lying about my story bc she too was terrified in her office.
I said as another assault survivor you know how harmful what you did is. Why? She said “whatever you know it’s a game, just points on the board”
Uhh no???

Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.
As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?

The anti-trans obsessives cannot fathom that a trans woman be viewed as their equal, let alone that we'd elected to public office or work the same job as them.
And no amount of capitulation will sate their rage. That is why it's imperative that we resist their efforts at each and every turn.

Nancy Mace comes out and says, "It's offensive that a man in a skirt thinks that he's my equal"
That is what is driving them so mad. That a transgender person, duly elected to represent 1,000,000 people, could ever be her equal.

fellow cis folks: this is the reality for our trans friends. the violence is real, and your quiet pacifism in the face of it won’t make it stop. you need to get good at intervening. you need to recognize that simply your privilege of existing as a cis person can de-escalate violence and save lives.

You need to review your exfoliation routine, dear.
Ugh, my trans ladies, as you all have experienced, it's sheddy time. Where I must harden, molt, and consume my outer flesh. It's ok, my wife is here in case I get stuck. See you in a day or two.
