Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

screenshot from The Other Site, from me in 2022:

If the definition of "women" is two X chromosomes then I have no idea if I've been dating men or women. I have no idea whether I'm a man or not. I don't know the chromosomal makeup of anyone I've ever met.

I cannot believe how fucking bad TERF arguments are.

Trans people make up 1% of the world's population. Yet certain leaders, people and institutions decide to persecute them. They are a small minority group targeted by fear, hatred, and violence. Let's love and defend them. If you can't love everyone you can't love anyone!
