On the disposability, precarity, & abuse of trans fems. Always a great read.

The diversity-centric system expects more jobs to fix the problem, ignoring how long we've been damaged and made unfit for their jobs. They encourage the Strong Woman stereotype because it means taking the damage onto ourselves. We need more than jobs; we need social reintegration.

Elon Musk is like the monorail guy from The Simpsons and I'm just internally SCREAMING when people can't see the obvious grift. He makes sensationalist claims, people lap it up, he doesn't deliver, on to the next thing: self-driving cars, hyper loop, Thailand water rescue, Tesla semi, etc.

Twisted Sister's Dee Snider thinks he's an "ally" to the trans community because he's a man who built a successful career off of crossdressing. Yet he's using right wing talking points about children being indoctrinated and "not left, not right, but common sense" type rhetoric.
