A woman says "hi, I'm here for the Magic: The Gathering tournament." A man at the registration booth says "of course. and ma'am I hope it's not too presumptious of me to say that your transition is going incredible." The woman says 'uh... I'm cis actually." Another man comes up and says "hi... wow ma'am your transition..." The first man interrupts him shouting "Tony! No!"

Inside of you are two wolves
One needs subtitles.
The other finds them distracting.
You have ADHD

Yes, but we can't ignore patriarcal oppression of women as a core component of that christian nuclear family. That's only possible if everyone has a very narrow understanding of gender/gender roles and how to perform it.

Challenging that notion is how their cookie crumbles because it's foundational

Partially agree w this. I also think that queer people in general and particularly trans people challenge the worldview necessary to achieve the kind of social order those people want.

Seeing a lot of takes about why fascists are targetting trans and autistic people specifically.

Occam's razor: there is no plot. Fascists need outgroups to bully in order to look strong and to distract from their failures.

They'll pick on whoever is an easy target, and they'll never be satisfied.

If Tylenol really caused autism I'm pretty sure the US would have much better train transportation options by now.

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free"

I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

A series of four images with black text on a white background, containing a long reflective passage about how authoritarianism and oppression gradually take hold unnoticed.

First image: The text explains how small, seemingly inconsequential steps—each justified or regretted—prevent people from recognizing the larger process until it’s too late, comparing it to a farmer not noticing corn growing until it towers overhead.

Second image: A colleague explains how each act is only slightly worse than the last, leading people to wait for a shocking turning point that never comes. Fear, uncertainty, and the desire not to stand alone stop people from resisting. Outsiders seem content, and those who sense danger are dismissed as alarmists.

Third image: The text describes how, eventually, a small personal incident shatters self-deception, revealing that everything has changed—society, spirit, and morality. People accept things once unthinkable. Life feels normal on the surface, but principles have eroded. When realization comes, it’s too late—people are compromised by inaction.

Fourth image: The writer notes how friends drift away, meetings shrink, and isolation grows, weakening resistance further. The long-awaited great occasion for mass opposition never arrives. Instead, oppression progresses step by step, each act numbing people to the next. The example is given of Nazi Germany, where atrocities escalated gradually, making it harder to resist at each stage.

I agree. I feel like if hypothetically there was a guy named Adam who could get you one, I really think he should because you earned it being a very good girl.

People are now saying we should beat dogs to death even more...

You are confused, you wonder if they've ever owned a dog, or if they've ever had to experience the kind of fear you've been going through because of that guy.
They do not care, and your relief is seen as proof that you are a bad person.

Your friends look at you like you are a monster. They tell you that he did nothing wrong, that he was just expressing himself. They tell you that he was a great guy and even had some good ideas.

You talk to your friends about how relieved you are that this guy isn't around anymore to talk about beating your dog to death. Happy, even, that he can't convince more people to come hurt your dog.

You know it's not over, you know there are plenty of people who want to beat dogs to death still, and policies continue being enacted to facilitate hurting dogs in other ways.

Things start to get worse until one day, something terrible happens to that guy, and he dies.
You breathe a sigh of relief. You look at your dog, he is still there, he is still safe, you love him so much.
