I think a lot about how 20 million people losing their AIDS medication generated less outrage than college kids being annoying about a poorly made banh mi sandwich.

It seems bad that “bigot” is literally an institutionalized profession.
Every. Single. Time.

Have you ever noticed that people dressed better in the past? Even in the summer, when it was scorching hot?

I can't articulate this well at the moment, but it feels like a lot of our problems stem from the concept of organization becoming female coded and therefore considered kinda gay by society at large.

My coworker who has been at her job for the longest out of my whole department has quit. I am now the most productive member of my team and am basically the backbone of my dept

When you're under threat, the first thing that comes to mind is "I've got to scuttle off back to my hole". But hang on - if you do that they're going to find your hole. NOT good!

When things get boring at work I leave the box for a pregnancy test by the sink in the ladies' toilet at work. It never fails to get people talking. Is someone trying? Is someone worried? Who? I'm 51 now, so it obviously can't be me.

I mean, obviously dysphoria and depression and suicide are all real and awful, but frankly, I think “I just felt like it, fuck you” should be reason enough for transition in a free society.

This is a great example of how conservative grievances are with society overall rather than government. It’s not even like a teacher told her; another student did! The only way around it is to police society so much that no child anywhere could learn about lesbians from anywhere and tell their kid.
This entire story is just so batshit insane
“my kid learned about lesbians so now I’m gonna go and commit war crimes”

16 million people are losing their healthcare and hospitals are already closing because of it but it’s a win because one of the bottom tier fast food restaurants is going to start selling the same Mexican Cokes that you can already get at literally every store

the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM for hrt should be eating people. any other hrt is ineffective. you need to do cannibalism or you're being hondosed
i have tuned out all online hrt advice ever since seeing someone call 6mg/day a "hondose" and that 10mg should be the minimum to start with. but in this case i am polling my most trusted oomfs

we're a feminist organization! which is why we think that ANY EXPRESSION OF HUMAN SEXUALITY SHOULD BE SEEN AS SHAMEFUL AND DISGUSTING, AND BLOTTED OUT FROM THIS EARTH. YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO THINK ABOUT HUMAN GENITALIA WITHOUT BEING BARRED FROM PUBLIC LIFE BY THE STATE. WHORE.

My dad bought me a book of magic tricks and I loved it. A month later a friend had a magician at their birthday party. I told everyone how each trick was done. I must have made life very difficult for the young man trying to entertain us. Sorry.

It's perfectly natural to not be interested in aesthetics. I am only pointing out that many feel the need to tell others that they're not interested in fashion or decor. IMO, this happens because they feel it signals that they're smarter, nobler, or more virtuous bc of the legacy of these histories.

But when the catalogue comes from Brooks Brothers or J. Press, that’s something they whip out only in private."
I think he was exaggerating ... but not by much.
For some reason, certain areas of aesthetic life, such as paintings and architecture, have escaped this stigma.

I think that pornographic and profane art deserves to exist without any sort of addendum that the real victims are "innocent" lgbtq+ people caught in the crossfire. I think that sex is normal and beautiful and also gross and should not be banned, barred, or persecuted. that's my take.

I really want people to open their minds up about bisexuality, especially in men. I’m not even bi but it still makes me CRINGE to hear the misconceptions/biases people have about/against bi men.
