If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

I would take more seriously the people promoting the idea of AI consciousness if they first materially grappled with the (much more obvious) consciousness of animals and how that affects our moral obligations to them.

I watched Florida taken apart by corrupt rightwing governors who destroyed so much. Oregon might not be perfect, but it has a functional government that has preserved many human rights other states have lost. Please don't take that for granted-- reelect Kotek as governor. Hold fast.

we are watching a massive transfer of wealth during an era of massive wealth creation (however much it might be just paper money it’s powerful) — reinscribing gender during this moment is a choice about who will be a citizen for the next three hundred years.

The techbros are very obviously setting up “don’t be mean to AI” as not just a moral virtue but a speech prohibition. They gave the game away when they brought America’s worst dissembler on side to attempt to criminalize calling AI “artificial”.

seeing the humanity of every person (you might even call it Divine Light) is hard sometimes. some people are just cruel, and mostly for sport. but rooting yourself in "everybody gets to live" can alter your perspective.

I'd add that in Eastern Europe, it's pretty broadly understood by people both pushing it and opposing it that conservative invocation of "gender ideology" or "genderism" refers not just to trans people but to basically any departure from conservative norms of gender and sexuality.
