Also I want to re-up this part of the essay because I think it's one of the most important points I make. The most popular stat used to argue the "they/them" ad worked? It can't be verified or independently evaluated.
When I was researching this essay I was struck by the fact that a key piece of evidence used to support the idea that the "they/them" ad was decisive is, apparently, unverifiable to the public.
That inconvenience didn't stop a stampede of people waving the 2.7% figure around like a bloody shirt.

The reason lies in the fact that a cadre of political and media elites, on both the right and the left, have made transphobia an article of faith--impenetrable to reason.
What the far-right, the reactionary centre, and transphobia-curious liberals/leftists have in common is being Extremely Online.

You could almost argue that the "Kamala is for they/them" ad was *really* targeted at Democratic elites and pundits who'd long ago talked themselves into an anxious transphobia.
But, of course, the reality is that the GOP was also high on its own supply here and genuinely believe the ad connected.

it's so cool that the single most powerful union in NJ has the political instincts of a dumb Chihuahua honestly. Sean Spiller was so funny
One thing about being from NJ is that it innoculated me from "all unions can be a progressive force" since many of the ones here are either puppets for Norcross (Carpenters) or have political instincts so insane that even MattY couldn't bullshit an excuse for (NJEA)

The ability to move around about one and a half tons of steel and composites at 4-5x the average human beings' sprint speed should not be something assumed to be a given, and should ABSOLUTELY be one of the first things restricted or eliminated by law upon repeat offenses

Three strike laws and such are ofc bullshit, but there's a big gulf between "right to personal liberty and freedom" and "right to drive a two-ton motor vehicle" and despite the conservative belief otherwise, there's a lot of reasons to suspend the latter that do not unduly impact the former.

As biblical salvation is exclusive to human beings, there is unfortunately no way to offer our robot buddy absolution. But still, the ability to sin and be cast into fire for all eternity represents an important step forward for artificial intelligence

It is an insult to hundreds of thousands of men who died.
people often change it to “let us live to make men free” in modern performances and I say that’s coward shit
"As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free," goes harder than any Civil War song has any right to go.

this also nukes menopause treatment and TRT for cis men, I think
Seems pretty clear this is meant to bait Democrats into voting against this. It also includes a ban on "Administering, prescribing, or dis2 pensing to an individual medications" including testosterone and puberty blocking drugs.
