I like tech, art, jewelry making, and caring about things and people. What’s the right balance between things that matter and things that are pretty? I don’t fuckin know, you get what you get · amateur jeweller · they / them · 🏳️‍⚧️

Well isn't this fucking timely.

Shrier's book is a manifesto for the parents' rights movement and the preeminent example of how the abuse of trans children forms the bedrock of modern anti-trans politics, presenting transition as a "bad outcome" to avoid at any cost.

Defend trans kids.
Out early on Patreon!

'Irreversible Damage' is a fearmongering screed combined with a how-to child abuse guide aimed at the parents of young trans children. Emma and Talia are joined by Lucy Kartikasari to examine how this misbegotten suburban tantrum dehumanizes trans and detrans people alike.

And this being done in a sport where we have been participating without issue for 50(!) years. Which really lays bare the lie behind mealy-mouthed ‘legitimate concerns’ and ‘fairness’.
As I keep saying, fascism cannot function without the help of millions of centrists and liberals doing the work on the ground. Thanks to people akin to Newsom and Buttigieg, there's yet another trans person who can't play games with her friends and is now more marginalized than she already was.
SCOOP: The United States Tennis Association (USTA) quietly updated its player eligibility policy to ban trans women from competing as women in their leagues, tournaments and competitions in order to comply with Trump's anti-trans sports executive order. The policy went into effect on Monday.

Seriously, though, spend your money with small businesses. We're struggling.
I knew that this year was going to be bad.

I didn't know it was going to be "Black Friday/Cyber Monday is literally 1/10th of BFCM 2022."

That's not a typo. I know that we're missing a couple of our high-ticket items this year, but... holy shit.

And that's what makes the anti-trans sports stuff so clearly bullshit. Everyone on the "actually, there are some valid concerns!" side of things is cheering on this 61-year-old lady no longer getting to hag out with her friends and play tennis.

The thing about all the anti-trans sports panic: people argue this stuff while talking about elite level sports, but because there aren't actually a ton of superhuman trans women blowing away the competition, the people actually affected end up being those who play sports for fun/socialization
