it’s not about trade

who was first accused of importing tonnes of drugs (fentanyl) into the US?

who has something Trump claims to want (water, minerals)?

Canada

Carney has to tread a fine line

great, and what the fuck are y’all doing about it?

taking an afternoon to walk around peacefully every four months?

people with DSDs are either male or female

they are not some chimera that proves sex isn’t real and that there’s a “spectrum”

lol @ SciAm
that’s not science

they were a scientific journal through the 80s but now they’re less scientific than Popular Mechanics

what is the other sex? is sex not encoded in our dna? what’s the scientific test for transness?
can you answer any of that without referring to DSDs or gender stereotypes?

sex is encoded in every cell in your body

it’s verifiable

gender identity is a concept that is neither verifiable nor falsifiable

anonymous 100 year old bones can be determined to be male or female

but no archeologist would make claims about gender identity because it’s only based on testimony

words and logic

and gender identity is just testimony

lesbians are same-sex attracted women

not same-gender attracted people

gender identity erases homosexuality which sex-based

gender identity is inherently homophobic

i dgaf about anyone’s identity - that’s your business - but sex is real and cannot be changed

humans only have two sexes and women require spaces away from males - ALL males

including but not limited to hospital wards, prisons, changing rooms, shelters, rape crisis centres

i can understand that
but i fear the US will not elect a female president

my preference would have been Elizabeth Warren because she is smart and a pit bull with regulators who fail to regulate

but neither of them will win

it breaks my heart but we’re not there yet

i understand the dissatisfaction with the Democratic party but maybe fix all the broken bits, close the loopholes, codify some of the norms, make changes to SCOTUS first

elect some technocrats to basically Trump-proof the govt

you can’t afford another 4 years of chaos and authoritarianism

folk are now saying if Newsom gets the dem nomination, they’ll abandon the Democrats again

i took this up with my partner and he agreed with them that we shouldn’t accept the same corporate Ds who have been so in effective at stopping any of the madness

you think that’s scary? imagine being your neighbours

it’s never felt more like living over a meth lab

i still gasp watching that

and miss the bars being closer together

i thought that was Twain

(because my mother has it on her fridge)

😮
…
😮

you can get the fuck out of europe then - you don’t get to be the lone wolf who tells every other european nation what they can’t do

maybe you enjoyed the iron curtain days but many millions didn’t and they don’t trust putin to stop at ukraine, … or poland, …

blocked, naturally

the truth hurts, i suppose
