The money is inconsequential but my annoyance is not

I know I’m a hater generally but I will take any opportunity to share that I especially hate mindfulness and the next mental health professional who tries to make me practice it will be able to add me biting them to the list of four things they can feel (for legal reasons, this is a joke)

I think part of this “dont call em fascist nah mate theyre not really fascists” is wanting to tell yourself that there isnt a major mainstream wave of fascism normalised in your country

I do not have the biological profile of a cis woman nor a cis man. I am trans and my trans biology needs to be recognised by the health service for the benefit of my safety.

But for ideological reasons the government have pushed the NHS to prioritise my anatomy as an infant to my anatomy as a adult

My guess is that if enough people demonstrate their authoritarianism is stupid and unworkable, kids will also figure out that it’s stupid and unworkable, so we all have to pretend this is in any way a good idea?

Anything less than acceptance Boyne et al’s transphobia as a fair viewpoint would be considered bullying, silencing, cancelling, or even abusive

A big part of the GC movement is not just pushing for transphobia to be allowed, but for it to be mandatory. They have to present disagreeing with them as unacceptable if they want to achieve that — it’s the same logic as Boyne used to compare pro-trans cis women to the wives in The Handmaid’s Tale.

The one that gets me is the “lesser of two evils” framing. That only works if the option you’re trying to promote actually is substantially less evil, but the difference in levels of racist, transphobic fascism is too negligible.

Seeing the country become more and more hostile to trans people should make pride events feel like a reprieve but attending this one feels a bit like an obligation, ngl

Also you have fundamentally misunderstood how any kind of word detection algorithm works if you think they can detect “kill” but not “unalive”. In fact, there’s going to be MORE false positives for “kill” than there would be for “unalive”, making the latter easier to detect.
