Yes, all of us losing our friends and communities to the slow march of enshittifying fascism is great for you. You must be so happy. You were right all along! Good job! Go on, celebrate the isolation and destruction of vulnerable groups. You earned it!

Congrats on not losing friends and communities in the fallout of this, I fucking guess?

Pop psychology read "Cluster B personality disorders have symptoms which could make the patient more prone towards abusive behaviour if the condition remains untreated" and turned it into "anyone with a cluster B PD is an abuser and should be treated like a leper and there is no hope for them!"

"I never had friends I could only talk to on the internet, so why is this a problem?"

It's because they're a default. White, cis, het, etc. Nobody who isn't the default matters. They don't make friends with anyone they can't see: The queer and disabled folks they've driven away from public life.

More and more I start to think that truly violent political uprising won't begin against the republicans, but against the democrats.

"But we have to ssuppress your testosterone" comes from decades of treating a feminine endocrine system like a black box. Sufficient estradiol will block testosterone all on its own, but giving trans folk 'sufficient' care is largely controversial, it seems.

A big one that doesn't come up in the US is that cyproterone acetate can sometimes spike prolactin levels, and in some individuals prolactin can be converted into testosterone. Endos will see T go up and prescribe even more cypro, while the poor girl's E crashes even harder in response.

Yes, maybe, because I remember the Spigot era...

How can it be that it all just comes down to "they're chasers and if trans people have rights they're harder to sex traffic?"

THEY STARTED A FUCKING GENOCIDE BECAUSE THEY WANTED SEX SLAVES!

Jesus fucking Christ how can the world be this dumb.

To expand on that if you do not have context you can draw straight lines from 4chan post re-introduction of the /pol/ board to the rise of several major modern alt-right and far-right political movements now shaping our politics, making this interaction incredibly impactful on our current day.

Listen, sometimes a phrase just lives in your head for years, waiting for that perfect moment.

It was the Fredst of times. It was the Durst of times...

I've got the name but not the bechamel. Do y'all know where the nonbiney line is?

I figured out that I mostly like pad thai for the tamarind, so started ordering massamun curry instead. I also really love potatoes and peanuts, so it's like the perfect meal to me.
