This just in: people in the UK find transgender people less important to defend than a pile of rocks dedicated to a made up character in a questionable series of books.

Fox News has spent more time talking about transgender women in sports than transgender women have spent actually playing sports.

This is an interesting piece because it illustrates how US Democrats, especially older, white, male ones, aren’t distinct from conservatives in their beliefs. apple.news/Aueq2EC0cRfO...

Bro can’t walk through grass. He needs a golf cart.

The irony of so-called “feminists” enforcing this sort of thing is it’s entirely based around a narrow view of a socially acceptable woman’s appearance, which renders it indistinguishable from racism and misogyny. TERFs are just racist misogynists

When tech barrons were told, ‘if you don’t want your security force to revolt after the collapse of civilization you need to include them and their families so they have something they want to protect,’ it was a non-starter. They’d rather resort to shock collars and food depravation.

And then there’s this…

An old person swaddled in AI American flag finery looks as if they have smelled a fart. The rest of the poster contains pearls of wisdom starting with “I will not comply with hantavirus” and devolves from there

It’s wild to me that TERFs like this think they are compassionately kind and understanding while completely misunderstanding and deliberately endangering us.

I say, when we say, we don’t give a shit about gender stereotypes or gender roles, wear what you like, do what you like, be as gender non-conforming as you like (because we will be doing the same), that you matter, your rights as human beings are important to us, show compassion for dysphoria you experience. No matter how many times I say this, we feminists all say this, you and your colleagues still project a bizarre fantasy onto us. Why? It’s a tactic that only results in pushback, in me and other feminists and male allies politely saying no, which becomes harder to stay polite the more you fantasy is projected onto us. And we all know women saying any kind of pretty much, to men is Not Allowed and results in women being punished. Transwomen are not women.

This is nonsense:

Is this you not having a view?

Is there any form of trans rights campaigning that doesn't involve some form of sex denialism?

I’m not suggesting, it’s not disputed. Black holes don’t always have matter nearby enough to. And we actually have a picture of a particle jet from M87*: d2pn8kiwq2w21t.cloudfront.net/images/m87_j...

This might be the single best example of how we have lost sight of why humans, or any other animals, work. People like Sam think we do it to increase “value.” Really we do it to survive, and when the opportunity is present, to thrive. Anything beyond that is vanity and avarice.
