Speaking as one of that benighted people who is lucky enough to be married to a US girl... I simultaneously feel her pain and am shocked, *shocked* at this flagrant public display of affection! 😄

If the things you require me to sacrifice "for the greater good" are my healthcare, my safety, my bodily autonomy and my right to exist as an equal human being in your society, then it's not the good at all, and your party can burn to the ground and the nation along with it.

OK, probably true, but this isn't the fault of being diagnosed is it! It's the fault of social attitudes to these disorders and the way they're dealt with which isn't helped by people saying they're being overdiagnosed which just makes people think someone's looking for an easy way out.

The experts said too often diagnoses of mental health problems and ADHD and autism were ending up as labels that defined people by their "difficulties rather than their strengths and potential", harming their prospects at school, in work and in relationships.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Killing of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court Rules

The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”

Hmmm... Full article: Clowns, pills, & boogaloos: a data-driven study of far-right eschatology on 4chan /pol/ share.google/VI1Pv2TUlCmK...

To such ends, the often short-formatted eschatological expressions like the ones we have dealt with in this paper and their associated visual products constitute efficient rhetorical strategies for signalling one’s cultural capital and ideological position within online subcultural milieus. In the context of mainstream social media platforms beyond the /pol/ platform, these expressions function in some instances as subtle dog whistles for signalling political and cultural opposition without attracting negative attention from content moderators—at least for a period. For instance, the use of a standard clown emoji (🤡) vailable in most emoji libraries is in certain contexts used to signal discontent toward left-wing politics by labelling something as indicative of ‘Clown world’ and thus society’s self-inflicted and inevitably destructive trajectory. Similarly, the...

Well of course you're not debating anything with me, your stance is laughably facile, self-serving AND self-defeating. I wouldn't want to defend that either.

Oh, good grief. The only thing I believe you're "in charge" of are your own actions, and even there I suspect just barely. Don't misunderstand me - I'm not asking you to change anything. I'm telling you to shut up and sit down.

And you harassing and haranguing trans people to vote against their own interests so that your team can sit around and fail to hold anyone accountable or attempt to stop the march of fascism is, frankly, as idiotic as it is vile.

As for "Trump is worse than Biden on Gaza," .... how? Can you do a double genocide? Or is genocide genocide and complicity to genocide is untenable? And how did Harris say she'd operate on Gaza again? This is why people get disillusioned with politics.

Like, you get that. Right? This is basic carrot-stick incentivisation. No attempts to talk about removing the stick, and indeed for trans folks the stick is there for us either way, while you can enjoy your carrot in peace. While we are in camps. Either way.

Okay, so, let me ask you a genuine question. When you think your best tactic to whip up support for your party is "do this or you'll end up in a concentration camp," how do you still believe you're not taking part in the fascist project to destroy democracy?

If you are so extraordinarily stupid that you fall for a standard Republican trans panic ruse, I cannot trust you to represent me in office. This is like media literacy 101. Your colleagues are going to run circles around you. Dupe you into anything. I'd be safer running and representing myself.

Fuckers whose only response to trans people begging and pleading for people to say to the democratic party that their rank and cowardly transphobia will not be rewarded is "the alternative is Trump."

Yeah, we have. We're not letting people abandon us, it'll cost them. To wit, you fuckers will be in the camps alongside us. So, it's us or it's Trump. You figure it the fuck out.

You need to work on your reading comprehension. I said "don't forget to tell us to enjoy the camps." That's what you're doing, when you say the alternative is Trump. You want trans people to empower the group that will *only* put us in the camp. Not you. Which is why you can get fucked in hell.

When folks say "not all cops" I have to say: Look, however good someone might be off the job, if they're on the job and looking the other way to prevent their cop colleagues from being arrested for, say, domestic assault, then they've been corrupted by the expectations of the job. So. Let's talk.

On a slightly, barely more serious note there's this podcast called Malevolent that draws on the Cthulhu Mythos a lot and the white Canadian dude who does it pronounces the name "Shub-Nigrath" which... I mean, much like the whole thread here, I don't know if that's sufficient to sidestep the problem
