Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

This is wrong. Human rights experts have been explaining to you for years why it is wrong. For example: www.wired.com/story/section-230-is-a-last-line-of-defense-for-abortion-speech-online/
At this point it just seems like you're countering digital hate by ... helping fascists?
Make it make sense.

You can hate Big Tech and also hate legislation that gives Christian Nationalists control of the internet.
NEW: I wrote for @erininthemorning.com about how my Senator @warren.senate.gov threw trans people under the bus by co-sponsoring the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).
Our MA-based LGBTQ coalition begged Warren to meet to hear our concerns.

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

AI cannot take accountability. AI cannot be “sorry.”
You have no control over the outputs of AI if you did not make it yourself, train it on very specific data sets, and create extremely rigorous control methods. Even then the safeguards are limited.
The creators must be held accountable

When you post your #SpotifyWrapped, you’re not just doing free advertising for a company that exploits artists, recruits for ICE, and invests in AI war machines.
You’re actively celebrating the fact that you’re being surveilled and participating in your own surveillance.

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because
a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked
b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books
