reporter: donald trump has announced that americans must evolve into a race of hardy metal men via mandated injections of liquid mercury. your response?

klobuchar: *visibly straining to remember line consultants came up with* donkey kong donald’s economic policies are “bananas” for small business

Validity Transmedicalism is probably easier to spot if you've already been through a system that thinks you're valid without medical transition AND THEREFORE don't need access to healthcare unless you've got Clinically Significant amounts of Suffering

I mean, the idea of children as their parents' property, who *owe* them (patrilineal) "continuation of the line", is arguably more steeply enforced in many global south cultures than in the West? A lot of homophobia is framed this way pretty much everywhere, as predatory and corrupting.

Being trans is getting submitted to a 24/7 sludge of the worst news, opinions, and nastiness about you while people still expect you to perform labor/not be impacted by it in any way.

I want to die lmao

Look all I am saying is, in the US, college students are afraid of being disappeared by the government for being "too political" but in China, billionaires are afraid of being disappeared by the government for being too political...

please remember that nobody is born a woman or man. everyone is born a genderless screaming monster covered in their mother's viscera, and then spends their life maturing into something hopefully less monstrous and covered in viscera. who cares what your tiny gory monster junk looked like, pervert

you don't need insulin to be diabetic you're valid without it

People who don't like transition care will evaluate it by the most arbitrary criteria like oh yeah you think HRT is good? Well we found it has a very low chance of getting you a degree in Egyptology.

Republicans: Democrats are controlling the weather in order to destroy red states

Democrats: I'm not sure if it makes sense to publicly blame trump for all these plane crashes because he wasn't flying the plane himself

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic

And what's more leftist than that

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Who is that lady standing in the rain

If you don't know about depersonalization in gender dysphoria, its life-destroying impacts, and why many trans people medically need HRT on an ongoing basis to treat it, then you quite literally have no idea what's at stake for us in this: genderanalysis.net/2017/09/in-o...

My gender is leather and something whispered in a doorway at four in the morning and trying a little too hard to impress her, looking like a fool and it's being embarrassingly intense about things that don't matter very much and watching the sun come up after staying up all night

It's high time we stopped being measured about how we discuss the reactionary panic surrounding trans youth.

The conservative position is that parents have a right to abuse their children in any way they wish, and that abuse regarded is righteous and justified if the goal is to prevent transition.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

*doodles a cool cyborg woman at 5 AM*

What we're currently living through is a patriarchal panic reaction.

Our society came a little too close to acknowledging trans people as not merely quirky zoo exhibits to gawk at on the margins of society. Too close to acknowledging our humanity.

The response to this has been sheer terror.

She's a 10, but her sister is, too. And they both kinda. . . you're not sure what's going on. But it's definitely something.
