You will not have a good time here if you’re a transphobe.
You will be hunted for sport.
And I think that’s wonderful.

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming:
1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.

In the Discworld novels there is a group called the Auditors that acts as the villain in several books.
They are entities desperate to classify and categorise everything into neat little boxes who have realised that humanity stands in the way so seek to destroy it.
That is liberal rationalism.

This is particularly powerful because he won Best Series, and no Best Series winner can be reconsidered in future for the same series, so he's ruled out his series *ever* being the winner of that award unless WSFS rule the 2023 wins ineligible.

I know her work meant a lot to some of y'all, but it's genuinely long past time to let rowling go. LONG past time.
JKR just donated 70K£ to the fascists group 4women Scotland for their justice fees to have trans women lose all their rights in legal gender marker change on their ID in the UK.
That's almost 82.000€.

Now 16 year old Nex Benedict was beaten in a bathroom by 3 older girls in a high school hate crime that killed them, and there's fucking crickets in the media.
