Since so much of it is out there at the moment…

I’ve seen the take that rape is “a fate worse than death” a lot. This is usually from well-meaning people who want SA to be taken as seriously as it should be in a society that regularly sacrifices victims at the altars of Men With Bright Futures.

But it’s wrong. And it’s damaging and dangerous for victims to hear. You are not better off dead than raped. 

After your assault, you’ll navigate the feelings of betrayal and anger and hurt. You may experience suicidal ideation. You probably will. But you are not better off dead than raped.

There is a whole life you will live after SA. It may be different than the life you once saw stretch out before you, but it’s no less valuable. You will heal and grow and change. You will know more happiness than you could ever imagine from that dark, angry, fearful place you once inhabited. 

Your life has beauty and value and it is bigger than what SA took from you.

Trans people are a slightly LARGER percent of the US population in 2026 than Jewish people were in Germany in 1933. Assholes who say trans folk aren’t worth defending because of population size are telling us exactly who they would have been in Nazi Germany.

You can DIY hormones. You cannot really DIY not being forcibly outed and segregated at work. Cannot DIY not being strip searched by a male police officer. Am obviously being a bit glib, but I think the compulsion to reduce trans liberation to just healthcare is a super reactionary tendency.

an open letter to "Global Tetrahedron" I know you didn't mean to close that job listing. I know it was an accident. I will simply apply for the social media job on the social media website thank you for your consideration
to representatives of the organization which calls itself "Global Tetrahedron",

you think that I am writing to express interest in the position of Social Media Lead at InfoWars. and you are correct. because you are intelligent. and insightful. a fellow seeker of Truth. you would not be in this position if you were not. that is why I believe that you can be trusted. which is why I tell you this: I come to you with ulterior motives. I come to you, because I have seen *The Punchline*, and I need you to see it too. but first, *The Setup*: you believe that you have taken over a radio show. perhaps a "media empire". but no. you have, perhaps unwittingly, taken on the mantle of a major arms dealer. a profiteer of The Gender War, which has increasingly been boiling over into the lives of even innocent Gender Civilians. maybe you've felt it. but a brief on the state of The Gender War is beyond the scope of this letter. I am here to sell myself as the correct Gender Warrior to lead this joke that you are telling to *The Punchline*. but first, *The Complication*: you are no doubt also shrewd in matters of business. and, seeing that you have, perhaps inadvertently, purchased a weapons factory, you now have the problem of turning that investment into an viable asset for The Tetrahedron. you have probably lost sleep over the question of how to make love pay the bills as well as hate used to. and I am here to provide the answer. I come to you not as a jaded Social Media Manager, here to "optimize engagement". you have engagement. instead, I come to you as a respected veteran of The Gender War, suggesting that the best way to make use of an enemy weapons factory, when there is A War For Your Mind/Junk going on, is to continue selling weapons. which brings us to *The Punchline*: Global Tetrahedron must also take over the supplement side of the InfoWars business, and use it to sell safe and affordable HRT. I am being entirely serious. and you know that's what makes it funny. imagine…

It is undeniable and factually true that transition today is easier, more accessible, and more acknowledged and understood than it's ever been. That's what conservatives are reacting to, what's driving them absolutely mad. The "foundation" of sex as "fixed" and "immutable" crumbling in real time.

It also is clear that students who are allowed to socially transition will have to accept adult staff and other students refusing to use the correct pronouns. It implies trans children represent a safeguarding risk to their peers.
