Linas Garsys used a pink triangle to represent gay people in his illustration, and Trump boasting about his anti-gay position is a dog whistle so loud it is deafening.

Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail
The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.

Project 2025 was first pushed out by red states few years ago, where many of the tyrannical measures were challenged and upheld by lower courts. This isn't really a new thing going on.

'All transphobes are bad faith' is what I learned after watching trans debates for 2 years. A person in good faith may not know the facts but will accept them when they are presented. Anti-trans views are the epitome of refusing facts.

With a stroke of the pen, trans people no longer exist and are deemed second-class citizens with no constitutional rights. Stay safe, friends.

Obama's 2 term presidency rocked white supremacy amerikkka to its core. That's why we have Trump, Musk, Walsh, etc, leading the right. That's why their focus is on anti-lgbtq (trans rights, gay marriage), misogyny (women's rights, abortion), Racism (CRT. Woke, DEI, immigration). The fundamentals.

Conspiracy theorizing started as a positive term (mid 1800s) until people started using this concept to influence others with disinformation, negative term. Nowadays, this practice is analysis based on the type of information. For example; OSINT (open source), HUMINT (human), SIGINT (signal).

"Fundamental to the capacity of a person to agree to sexual activity" It would be the burden of the person providing consent to declare their fundamentals. This is another system of control through reproduction.

Don't have to remember, really. They've been doing this with trans people for the past several years. Vilifying groups of people has been a hateful strategy of humanity since we invented groups and languages. When there aren't examples, they'll just make them up (eating pets, litter boxes, etc).

8. According to the ACLU, legislative attacks on transgender people grew “exponentially” over 2023 and 2024. These anti-trans laws have directly caused an increase in suicide attempts in some states by up to 72%. The CDC reports 1 in 4 trans youth tried to take their lives this year.

Claiming the -ism in Autism is analogous to adding -ism to Transgender is possessing the particular quality of dumbism. Refusing to accept how language changes from being to not being derogatory is a terrible semantic argument. 'Transgender is not a mental illness.' See, not hard and shorter.

LGBP people who experience distress due to orientation may resort to identity change as a coping mechanism. I think this should be talked about, but it becomes difficult to do so when these individuals resort to transphobia as a means to cope with their own failure of recognizing their sense of self

It bugs me that I don't know who or which outlet asked this. What reporter with press credentials felt it important for law enforcement to respond to 'I heard on Facebook that...' Anyone with the 'just asking questions' approach is bad faith, and their credibility in journalism questioned.

I call it the Trans Panic Agenda. While it sounds like a conspiracy theory; 1. It's legal, thus not a conspiracy, 2. It's documented, therefore, not a theory.

A Russian bank was using US courts to obtain information on anti-Russian cyber surveillance tactics. The case was dismissed due to sanctions from the Ukraine-Russia war. Within weeks, DJT filed this RICO lawsuit, adding the Clinton campaign to push his Trump-Russia Hoax claim. It's was retribution.

Now we wait on information about the shooter to know which group to blame as the violent threat to society. The typical misdirection tactic to put the blame anywhere but on firearms itself.

Okie dokie. 👍 If we had 3 more Dem House seats, do you think we would have been discussing Bathroom Ban House rules? Political parties should be criticized. Putting parties into a monolith with an argument all or nothing is just another form of 'it's both sides', which only benefits the Right.

I don't see the equivalency because, in this instance, transition is referring to medical care. Puberty suppressants are not a defining feature of transition. They are a medical necessity for a few with extreme distress and preventative care for those who recognize incongruence prepubescent.

The actual conspiracy theory at the time was that the crowd consisted of Antifa & Feds dressed as MAGA. It would be like the theory that there was a 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll and JD Vance screaming, "Ah ha! See! See! The knoll did have grass! Winning!"

#Simpsons #MNF. The live stream is about 1 - 2 mins behind the broadcast of the game. Having little interest in sports, I'd say this is just as good. Loved hearing "Touchdown Ralph Wiggum!" I wouldn't remember the player's names anyway. Only commercials are for ESPN+ & Disney+, also a win.
