Some folks take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world.

I want to be the one to walk in the sun.

In art by Dee McDonnell, a trans girl is seen reaching out from the mirror, as her real-life boy-moding counterpart reaches back.

All right, people. Let's start from the beginning, one last time.

A thread about a direction I've been meaning to shift for a few years now, but which - like a lot of things I've wanted to change in my life - had to wait until I was coming at it from the right angle and for the right reasons. 1/

Dammit. So much for a fresh start. Does anyone know if appealing these works? It looks like it's purely for trying to re-follow so many people.

I've gone through it a few times* and it's clear the two design goals were "comply with the law" and "placate conservatives."

*(I've only done "Active Shooter" more times, because this is America and this company has had at least two shooter incidents since I started... one the next town over!)

My company's inclusivity training is so toothless that, despite giving examples it calls "potentially insensitive" (one is straight up racist and another is transphobic), it refuses to explicitly state what statement was wrong, why it was wrong, and why it matters to us all that it's not tolerated.

I'm not seeing stuff about contacting payment processors on my timeline.

If we stop now they will take the lesson that they can do all the censorship they want and within a month people will just calm down and accept it.

We have to keep going.

Make them backtrack!

Anti-trans bigots get brain worms when told that trans women attracted to women are also attracted to trans women, because it completely destroys their bioessentialist argument.

So, if "trans women are inferior men" and "trans women date trans women," then transbians must desire other inferior men.

Noodling on politics. Consider yourselves warned.

I've been thinking about the sudden lurch towards throwing trans rights under the bus by dem presidential hopefuls and the total non-response by Congressional dems to defend us.

And I think it's this.

I honestly think the majority of cis people are upset by trans existence, especially nonbinary existence, because as children we were all told there were things we weren't allowed to do or be or feel or say because we were a girl, or because we were a boy.

I honestly think that's unhealed trauma. 🧵

Hungover, Rosalina is having morning coffee with Pauline. She asks if the Lima’s saw her drunk. Pauline says “Nope”. Rosalina is relieved about that at the very least.

We asked people to give a damn about others and treat them as equally complicated and important beings instead of NPCs that exist to pad out the story of your life, and quite a few people who have their self-worth tied to a genuine belief in the latter openly revolted at the concept.

The feeling i have is that for as important as female friendship is I, and I shall say this rather bluntly, care more about telling the little lesbian out there who doesnt know what she is that she isnt a monster. That there's a community waiting for her. That she'll have a rich life full of love.

It's the anecdote of the guy who says something incredibly risque to a woman on the street, gets slapped hard, and is asked "why the hell do you do that?", to which he grins and replies "sometimes they don't slap."

That's the exact "I don't care what happens to others" vibe I'll oppose all my life.

Tongue-in-cheek Occam's Razor: that scene is actually the closest he's ever come to being topless, therefore, that's just his natural unbound chest.

decades of ableist cyberpunk warning us that prosthetics that assist mobility and perception would drive people to cyberpsychosis but instead it's just people with smartphones going insane because they were affirmed by robot texts a little too much into fully detaching from reality

LLM psychosis is a hell of a thing, and it's becoming tragically common.

The generals telling the collective military to remember their oaths in the days leading up to 1/6 was incredibly reassuring, especially when they did so.

It has been my primary point of concern that they've done all they can to eradicate the one thing truly standing in the way of their total rule.
