>looking for ancient trans women >asking the pop-anthropology account if they have trans women or reviled third genders >she doesn't understand >I pull out a diagram to explain the difference >She laughs "it's a good gender ma'am" >Check the sources >Reviled third gender

The emulation scene's obsession with "preventing piracy" feels like it exists as an arcane ritual to try to keep corporations away at the cost of making most tools useless and the entire sphere insufferable for anything released in the past 20 years

People get maimed or even killed, their bodies permanently altered or destroyed, by many different kinds of wage labor. Just driving a cab can result in that!

Posts like these remind me there's arguably never been an easier time for "normal men" to date. Girls be like "he's a 6 but at least he's not in a far right pipeline, pretty hot." The bar is now at “do you think I’m a human person with rights?” Just be normal ffs

transphobia is crazy because it is so self evident to me that trans women are women. they read as women to me on every level imaginable. like not to get esoteric with it but even down to the spiritual level, that's a woman to me

i think the single most urgent thing revolutionaries can do in this moment is recognize that we are *not* currently in pre-revolutionary conditions and that we therefore have the urgent patient work of building mass buy in for socialism

I think this gets at a real tension point between trans women and those who depict them: it’s artistically interesting to focus on the first year of transition, but essentially no woman would want that version of themselves to be the dominant representation

People love to portray “early-transition” trans women because that’s when we’re most vulnerable. That’s when we’re in the most danger and sharpest pain and people find it fascinating. They think it’s good because it’s “representation” but it’s usually just misery porn.

if you're not on hrt, or don't wish to be on hrt, then you don't get to have an opinion about it

this isn’t about the entire democratic party but are we really memory holing the first month after kamala’s loss when prominent establishment dems came out and instantly blamed trans people for the electoral defeat? where is your paystub? why defend the dnc for free?

“Last load of Kansas prairie” Death to industrial agriculture Death to nutrient mining Long-live agroecology Long-live the tallgrass prairie

Who was it that said "if you live in a 15 minute city but your barista has an hour-long commute you don't live in a city; you live in an amusement park"

the language of affirmation and inclusion is failing us in this moment. trans people don’t need gender markers to “affirm” the gender we “identify as”. accurate sex/gender markers are needed for our protection, physical safety, and access to basic services and rights.

gavin newsom agreed w ben shapiro *six weeks ago* that israel “is not committing a genocide.” today he called israel an apartheid state. i’m happy that his consultants told him supporting israel is no longer a popular position, and blown away by his belief in absolutely nothing

The Internet is getting so unfathomably bad to use. It feels like we're witnessing the death of something great. It's the perfect storm of shit and it's remarkable to see really.

It's so funny this isn't real. Like so many "humanity huh-rah! Capitalism-forever" dudes will look you straight in the eyes and claim they'll just move to Middle Earth or Hogwarts if resources run out
