eh that seems to be the case when Dem politicians make pro trans posts but not like, streamers like connoreatspants who can still get hundreds of thousands of liks on a generic pro trans post. I think the algo is botted specifically against the Dem politicians is the reason

hot take from a historian of queers in russia: it kind of is. We don't arrive at the modern plight of queers in Russia without the historical legacy of the USSR and what that did to culture, politics, and identity in Russia

queen whats ur tumblr?

What am I missing here? It just looks like MGP went over to the bad side but the list of NVs being random and not like, the rest of the Blue Dog caucus seems to confirm this is just a list of people who weren't there, not people crossing the aisle intentionally?

on the NDAA anti-trans provisions, there were from 1-3 republicans voting against them. with this bill being even more extreme, i could see at least that many voting no. will still probably pass the house though

Not to pry but why a vasectomy and not an orchi?

How's Germany doing?

and the answer is "yes"

Ppl forget but the Sixth Circuit is to the right of even SCOTUS. their original ruling on Skrmetti was even worst than the Roberts court

you jinxed us!

her writeupwas p good though. noted the long timetable this is on and the impending legal challenges

who makes the decision to rehear? is it a majority of the justices or a specific smaller number?

@mattyglesias.bsky.social should be writing gloating articles about Zohran's rapid backtracking on "defund the police" and how that proves him right abt 2020 lefty talking points being toxic. But no, Zohran's loudest online fans are hipsters and activists, so they must be crushed at all costs.

right-leaning podcast bros. Like I get that Zohran excites all the same Groups that centrist Dems reflexively hate (socialists, hip nyc kids, trans activists) but the man himself is basically running their exact playbook so like why the tension?

Turns out the American people are simultaneously not as scandalized by Trump nor as scandalized by trans women as like, The Atlantic or The NYT thinks they are

Because then you look at a poll by like, some A rated right-leaning pollster like Beacon & Shaw or AtlasIntel, and its like "44% of ppl are cool with trans, 51% aren't, 5% couldn't say" and then they get the same result for Trump's support as well

Which makes me figure that those polls must be reaching some specific audience of respondents who are all conservative pearl clutching centrist dems and nevertrumpers, equally scandalized by Trump's shenanigans and my existence as a woman

And as a six foot tall trans woman with pink hair who teaches at a rural college in texas, I find the students are surprisingly cool with both me and Donald J Trump lol
