You get nowhere arguing with transphobes about the safety of puberty blockers, or about social transition. They don't care that they're wrong, and they don't care that they're lying.
They want to wipe out trans adults, and one way to do that is by attacking trans kids. All we can do is stop them.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

It's really impressive that Buñuel died at age 83, considering that "trickster-coded communist filmmaker" was, from about 1930 to 1990, the most executable kind of guy in the world

The weird thing about transphobia, and probably about bigotry in general, is the pretty common intuition that the person bringing it up is always the one “making a show of it.” Boyne literally thinks the criticism of his book is ideologically motivated, yet I’M ideologically motivated for saying it

this, by the way, is the real legacy of charlie kirk. all that bullshit about free and open debate and speech on campus is about protecting their ability to do or say whatever they want without consequence while penalizing those they disagree with. they see it as a zero-sum game

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
