A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

It’s also a mistake politicians make. It’s actually a very common human mistake: to try and change the minds of people who dislike you, rather than focus on those who already love you.

It also disproportionately impacts on women who go back to retrain later in life- mostly after time at home engaging in care duties.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.
