Trump Isn’t Building a Ballroom
When Trump announced a $300 million ballroom at the White House, something went off in my brain.

Sarah McBride rarely centers her identity as a trans woman. Republicans do that for her. So when she steps to the microphone and talks about "21 years of unwavering homesickness," it means something. @mcbride.house.gov www.readtpa.com/p/watch-rep-...

The purpose of blaming any and every tragedy on trans people is convincing each other "wouldn't life be so much better if we just got rid of all the trans people"
There's no evidence that Rob and Michele Reiner's son Nick is undergoing a gender transition, despite claims circulating on social media. Here's how the baseless rumor spread. 👇

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

"we have to keep them away from the children" why? because children aren't inherently bigoted and you need time to plant fear and disgust in their brain?

the problem for transphobes is that at this point nearly everyone has met or at least interacted with a trans person and figured out that they're just people trying to live their lives. this is why they want to ban trans people from existing in public at all costs
11% of Britons say they feel 'very negatively' about trans people which just highlights how much this is a top-down hate project with around 95% of the media hating trans people and a high percentage of MPs.
Hello. I’m a “same-sex attracted person” (loathe that description of my sexuality) & I support Trans rights, like the majority of female “same sex attracted people”.

What conservatives mean when they say they are "under attack for their views" is that they are being accurately understood as the sort of people who hold the sort of views conservatives hold, and that makes them afraid they will be treated the way conservatives treat those whose views they scorn.
The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

The thing you need to understand about the Right is that they are absolutely fine just plain burning down higher education if taking it over ideologically doesn’t work. They’re perfectly happy reducing it to ashes.

I don't care if he taught you the idea that Israeli society loves playing language games to justify international crimes, he genuinely believed that since Epstein only ran a child trafficking circuit but didn't add to climate change that he was better than Republicans. It's really that simple.

They literally told me more or less "you're the man, that means you have the final say." My parents taught me to be insecure about my partner's behavior (because they were a "free spirit") and encouraged me to exert control over them because my parents wanted us to be a hetero couple.

Back before my transition when my conservative Christian parents were still trying to groom me into being a "man", a huge point of conflict between us was that I wasn't controlling my partner enough. That I was failing to fulfill my role by not controlling my partner's behavior.
I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.
They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

There are no good-faith anti-trans arguments and no acceptable compromises on trans lives
KLAXON: an anti #trans clause has been smuggled quietly into the Republican healthcare bill. They continue to block people from lifesaving treatment—refusing abortion access and also refusing #transgender care #LGBTQ
Tucked inside the Republican bill for health care subsidies, a clause that would restrict the money from being used for abortion (with exception for rape, incest or life of the mother) or for "any sex trait modification procedure or service."

Exactly. Newsom translated is “we need to treat a lot of you as abnormal and we need you to be a lot less judgmental about it.”
Which is it man because you can’t say ‘be more normal’ back-to-back with ‘be less judgmental’ without a hint of irony because that’s just positioning yourself as cultural authority & then demanding the type of grace that by virtue of your immediately preceding statement you refuse to extend to us
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”
