Conservatives on gender-affirming care:

✅ cis men
❌ trans men

It's the exact same surgery. The only difference is transandrophobia.

semi-regular reminder that there is *literally* not a single form of gender affirming care administered to trans people that was not developed for cis people and that, by an overwhelming margin, the majority of patients receiving gender affirming care are cis.

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer creators without supporting 'nsfw' content.

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.
NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution.

Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.

Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture.

Today is a sad reminder that some folks that want to talk about wanting games that are art don't actually know what that entails, and in fact actively don't like art that bites back.

Important THREAD. The legal issues that the SC misjudgment combined with well-funded anti-trans hate groups are complex. @jessothomson.co.uk knows what they are doing and is fighting this in the only way that is likely to be productive.

The normalization of this madness is so quick that we’re debating whether a second illegal strike was wrong after an initial illegal strike with no proof of any crime and we’ve already seen just random murders of fishermen normalized with the excuse they’re running drugs, which isn’t legal either.

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.

Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

Contact us if you have been affected by the policy changes of Girl Guiding or the Women's Institute. This could be as an individual, or because you lead a local Brownie group who don't want this policy change. We want to help protect trans inclusion.

the HORSES affair is a startlingly low bar to cross to see if people actually care about protecting games from censorship of upsetting themes because it's far tamer and has way more moral clarity than a lot of stuff that doesn't get banned. but it's also very clarifying to see who can't cross it

#UK #Transrights The decisions in recent days from Girlguiding and WI are both born out of pressure from Sex Matters. They have a relentless legal campaign ongoing against the existence of trans people. What's important to point out is that their strategy is currently shifting to a new focus point.
