Trans Amandas are braver than the troops

90% of the worst queer discourse is driven by people either in the closet or otherwise terrified about what committing to their authentic selves means for their lives, and while we should be patient and loving to these folks we need to stop taking them seriously

"Tuesday’s results bolster an already-clear truth: trans people’s inclusion in the Democratic tent is not the cause of the party’s woes. Nor will throwing us overboard alleviate them," writes @gbbranstetter.bsky.social.

Stunning story by @jesspish.bsky.social: He became the most famous sheriff in the U.S. after his hunt for his wife's "real killers" inspired a $60 million 1973 blockbuster ($430 million in today dollars). It was all a lie and his hometown can't deal.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Reminder that at her alma mater the school newspaper had a restraining order against Brianna for, among other things, calling the Professor of Journalism a "r*ghead" and a "sand n-word" after he defended a lesbian from Brianna throwing a tantrum and calling her a dyke.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.
