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 · 8h

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.

So, for years radicals and folks across our communities have warned that beneath Asheville city hall's "progressive" facade was a vindictively conservative government that hates the people of this city and will happily collaborate with fascists.

What do you know Gavin Newsom is doing the fascists work for them yet again and his online boosters are lying about it yet again.

Gavin Newsom is a fascist in blue and can never hold power again. He must be run out of politics forever if we want to truly confront the fascism swamping the country.

Liberalism is merely a continual search for vulnerable groups to throw under the bus in a sad, failing attempt to prop up dying white privilege. “I’m as liberal as they come!” protests the man asking for dead trans people. Yup, that’s the problem, sir.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

I understand why people *want* the police to intervene--normies are like, 'I thought cops are supposed to arrest people doing crimes, ICE is right there doing crimes, go do your thing'

but police organizations take nearly every opportunity to be like, 'oh you misunderstood what our thing is'

Jessica Pishko @jesspish.bsky.social · 7h

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk.

But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.

Sun roasted potato. 🥔 Photo from my collection, 1954.

A pretty shorthaired calico cat reclining on her side and back in a strong window sunbeam that is baking across a carpeted surface. She is positively glowing in the light and it’s a gorgeous contrast to the stark edge of the sun where the carpet appears to become almost completely black. She’s in a rectangular island of light.
