panel 1: a group of people playing a tabletop game. SOME GUY WHO LOOKS SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE MATTIE BUT A LONG TIME AGO sits next to the DM.
SGWLSLMBALTA: Okaaaay, so! The new character I rolled out is a 6'3" half-orc sorceress. Excited to get playing!
DM: Playing a girl again, huh.
SGWLSLMBALTA: Yeah, why?

PANEL 2: two other players.
PLAYER 2: Can you just come out already? We're supportive.
PLAYER 3: Waiting for you to transition is taking forever.

PANEL 3: SGWLSLMBALTA looks off to the side. Shot over the DM's shoulder.
SGWLSLMBALTA: Hmm? I don't understand what you are all possibly talking about! "Come out." Good one.

PANEL 4: The DM and the two other players contemplate death while SGWLSLMBALTA speaks off-panel.
SGWLSLMBALTA: Anyway...She was actually born a PRINCE! of the realm, but was CURSED by a WIZARD to be a girl...

I’ve spent more of my life trying to maintain friendships/relationships with assholes than I’m proud of.

you have the right to not hang out with assholes. you deserve not to hang out with assholes. you are under 0 obligation to socially interact with assholes in your free time.

it is truly terrible that our culture tricked so many people into thinking that they’re obliged to be friends with assholes!

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 23h

we have spent the last decade witnessing a national epidemic of “it should be illegal to not hang out with me just because I’m a mean asshole” behavior

I think most people are prone to “everyone here agrees that my specific opinion is the common sense one, right?” regardless of your politics

But with bigots that becomes “everyone agrees my opinion is common sense, but THEY won’t less us say what we’re all thinking!”

Banning trans healthcare for 18yos is velociraptors testing the fences. Since the bans include both minors and adults, there's nothing really stopping them from setting the age at 21 or 25 or 50. But mainstream media outlets continue to publish inaccurate headlines that misinform their reaaders.

every Democrat (including McBride) who spread the baseless lie that trans issues hurt Dems in 2024 is contributing to this btw

the ironic part is the ads mostly harm trans people by otherizing and justifying state violence, actually harming not Democrats

More than half of Republican ads in Virginia are focused on trans issues. Officials say they plan to run similar attacks in North Carolina’s Senate race.

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

The far left is preying on the desperation of trans people by *checks notes* not conceding that we all hate sharing a bathroom with Undesirables

I believe that the far left is preying on the desperation of trans people in the search of cannon fodder for their revolutionary fantasies and it is hurting people. We cannot afford to eschew electoralism, nor can we take peace for granted.

What is with your constant punching left recently? "The left" and especially trans leftists have literally zero power. Do you not think that this energy is best used elsewhere?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

I wanted to see it again this weekend, but it had a tiny limited release!

My mom told me a very similar story about making a Hogan’s Heroes joke in school in the early 70s, only for her teacher to get extremely serious about how “the camps weren’t like that”

“Democrats want Transgender for Everybody” is such a transparent case of:

1. Trump’s team telling him what to believe.

2. Trump regurgitating a dementia-garbled version of it.

3. Trump’s base liking it simply because he said it.

4. Trump’s team trying to repeat the words his base liked.
