Let me get this straight: we trained this guy to be an elite killer, abandoned his country to the Taliban, isolated him, arbitrarily banned him from working and so left his family unsupported.

I don’t know if there’s any more efficient way of producing a mental health crisis outside of torture.

- we are still living with a SARS virus in the air with us every day
- you could still get disabled from the SARS virus at any time
- there is no support and no treatment for people disabled by the SARS virus

- you're the weird one if you point this out

so here's the thing about the last six years

- we got a new SARS virus
- except this time we didn't contain it
- but we did get vaccines for it
- except the vaccines don't actually eliminate the risk of long-term disability from contracting it

Hey @goodlawproject.org - with the news today that GirlGuiding is rolling back its trans-inclusive policy as they’re running scared of being sued by the litigious ‘gender critical’ transphobes, how about putting this post into practice? 🤔

Orgs need to know that trans kids lives aren’t expendable!

Skills must be practiced to be maintained. Your brain will gladly unlearn some trivial shit that it does not think matters, and offloading that kind of process onto a thinking rock causing skill decline has gotta be the most obvious shit ever… sci-fi writers had that figured out 60+ years ago.

millennials and zoomers all grew up without this shit. people in their 40s now had unrestricted internet access as kids. people want to talk about this issue like it's 1994 and we just don't know what the internet is or will do to the first ever cohort of children to see it. it's horseshit.

"What Fulnecky’s mother is saying out loud — that trans people shouldn’t be allowed to teach at all — is what this movement actually wants."
www.welcometohellworld.com/a-coordinate...
This is an industry now. There are jobs, salaries, speaker bureaus, and career tracks. The right is always looking for new faces to put on this movement — young, photogenic people who can be positioned as victims of trans overreach. The detransitioner who regrets her surgery. The swimmer who tied with a trans woman. The Christian student whose essay got a bad grade. Samantha Fulnecky fits the profile. She’s a college student. She’s Christian. She wrote about her faith and got a bad grade from a trans instructor. It doesn’t matter that the essay was genuinely bad, that two instructors agreed on the assessment, that the feedback was professional and patient, or that the grading rubric supports the decision. The narrative writes itself: trans professor fails Christian student for quoting Bible.

This is honestly probably the part of this wretched phenomenon that consistently chills me the most

The evil schmucks are evil schmucks. But then there’s the way every other institution that likes to spin flattering stories about themselves willingly plays along
Much more important than whether this particular mediocre young person succeeds, and considerably more worrying, is how easy it all is, and how smooth and efficient the process is through which all this noise and damage is manufactured-how simple the culture has made it for someone with nothing but themselves on their mind to hurt someone they think they might benefit from hurting, and how eagerly and unquestioningly this daisy chain of apparatchiks and opportunists and independent operators and actual elected officials will apply themselves to that work.

To make it clear; This is a business (CashApp) that is currently trying to lock-in low amount, high extraction loan terms due to being low on collateral

If they're cold calling over $75 loan offers; they are VERY hard up for collateral and are basically trying to manufacture it by sheer desperation

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

In a new statement, the White House — led by Trump, a liable sexual abuser mired in scandal for ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — suggests Carpenter is "stupid" and is defending pedophiles and rapists.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...
This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading. From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community. There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation. Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us. We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.

Trans Professors comment Mel Curth (She/They) November 16, 2025 at 2:04 PM Please note that I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs, but instead I am deducting point for you posting a reaction paper that does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive. While you are entitled to your own personal beliefs, there is an appropriate time or place to implement them in your reflections. I encourage all students to question or challenge the course material with other empirical findings or testable hypotheses, but using your own personal beliefs to argue against the findings of not only this article, but the findings of countless articles across psychology, biology, sociology, etc. is not best practice. You argue that abiding by normative gender roles is beneficial (it is perfectly fine to believe this. but to then say that evervone should act TPUSA OU Trans Professors comment the same, while also saying that people aren't pressured into gendered expectations is contradictory, especially since your arguments reflect a religious pressure to act in gender-stereotypical ways. You can say that strict gender norms don't create gender stereotypes, but that isn't true by definition of what a stereotype is. Please note that acknowledging gender stereotypes does not immediately denote a negative connotation, a nuance this article discusses. Additionally, to call an entire group of people "demonic" is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population. You are entitled to your own beliefs, but this isn't a vague narrative of "society pushes lies," but instead the result of countless years developing psychological and scientific evidence for these claims and directly interacting with the communities involved. You may personally disagree with this, but that TPUSA OU 2 Trans Professors comment doesn't change the fact that every major psychological, medical, pediatric, and psychiatric association in the United States acknowledges that, biologically and psychologically, sex and gender is neither binary nor fixed. I implore you apply some more perspective and empathy in your work. If you personally disagree with the findings, then by all means share your criticisms, but make sure to do so in a way that is appropriate and using the methodology of empirical psychology, as aligned with the learning goals in this class. If you have any additional questions or concerns about this or would like some additional educational resources, I would be happy to discuss this further and provide you with them. 3 TPUSA OU Additional professor Megan Waldron (She/Her/Hers) November 16, 2025 at 3:09 PM Samantha, I am the other instructor for this course, and I have also taken the time to read your paper. I concur with Mel on the grade you received. This paper should not be considered as a completion of the assignment. Everyone has different ways in which they see the world, but in an academic course such as this you are being asked to support your ideas with empirical evidence and higher-level reasoning. I find it concerning that you state at the beginning of your paper that you do not think bullying ("teasing") is a bad thing. In addition, your paper directly and harshly criticizes your peers and their opinions, which are just as valuable as yours. Disagreeing with others is fine, but there is a respectful way to go about it. That goes for discussion posts as well as reaction papers. Please employ more thoughtfulness in your future assignments TPUSA OU

The goal is to humiliate trans people and make our lives unlivable. It's a terror campaign. In the ideal world of these far-right activists, people would be scared to hire a trans person for a job, for instance, for fear of something like this happening.

Armando Iannucci eat your heart out.
The day after right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk's assassination, Patel reportedly refused to disembark from the FBI jet in Utah without an FBI raid jacket. Agents working on the Kirk case were sent scrambling to find one, and when they did, it was a female jacket. He reportedly threw a fit when he saw the sleeves were missing Velcro patches. Patel refused to leave the plane until he got the missing patches, which ended up being taken off the jackets of actual SWAT team members.
