imagine being a professional politician so bad at politics that in the current climate you had to say, “my ideas and my inherent charm aren’t working against the people who made gas $8 a gallon & are kidnapping the ice cream men. i should release an ad about which humans i think are less human.”

if your response to being called a slur by the president of the US is “actually, i think those bitches are hybrid beasts & i wouldn’t give them medical care to help them despite scientific consensus & my hippocratic oath” i hope an eel gets into your asshole and shits in your lousy heart.

If Peltola selling out trans people is the right call from a political standpoint, why are people so worried about how trans people are responding? Peltola made a decision. If it works, she’ll have been proven right. If it doesn’t work, that’s on her, not trans folks. You can’t have it both ways.

The liberal notion of acquiescing to reduced-to-removed rights by fascists so everybody else can I guess defeat fascism with the power of the ballot betrays their perception of us: that our identities and sexes and genders and lives and loves are a choice and that we have been humored long enough

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

it really does feel as if Democrats en masse are telling trans ppl that they don't want us as part of their coalition. if you disagree with them – if you *want* trans ppl to be a part of the coalition – then please call these trans-exclusionary Dems DIVISIVE because they are DIVIDING OUR COALITION!

this is probably the worst language i've seen a democrat use. saying "transgender ideology" is straight out of the right wing playbook. this is looking more and more like Labour, so I don't want to hear any more shit about how even the transphobic democrats broadly support our rights.

...Assumption #4 has been driving me batshit, yet no one seems to realize it: if you're worried trans ppl might potentially harm your Dem candidate's chances, then YOUR CANDIDATE MADE A BAD DECISION! so why not join us in trying to get them to reverse position? juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

screenshot from linked-to essay that reads:
Assumption #4: The elephant in the room that no one is talking about
There is a striking disconnect between Talarico, Turek, et al. — who have clearly made a political calculation that abandoning trans rights will help them more than it will hurt them in this election — and the many cisgender liberals I’ve encountered online who are absolutely freaking out over the possibility that trans people’s critiques and protests will ultimately tank said candidates.
Both of these things cannot simultaneously be true!
If you think your favorite candidate enacted the correct political strategy, then there is no reason to berate trans people for protesting it, as those protests should already be baked into your candidate’s calculations. So why are you berating trans people then? (Unless, of course, you enjoy berating trans people just for the sake of it.)
Alternatively, if you think trans people *are* capable of tanking your favorite candidate via our criticisms and protests, doesn’t that imply that your candidate (and their consultants and strategists) totally fucked up in their political calculations here? And if they did fuck up, shouldn’t you be reaching out and complaining to *them* (rather than berating trans people), in the hope that they might reverse their bad decision?

There's a big difference between withholding your vote from certain Dems and advocating for not voting unless a candidate is perfect. And, let me also say: If you do decide to withhold a vote for a Dem, go out and vote. Leave that race blank, but vote otherwise.

I have never once dragged or piled on WS before, but this is an absolutely fucked-up take. rather than considering that a marginalized group may have a very different perspective & experiences than you, smear them all as a "cult" of sorts instead. that way you can dismiss their opinions en masse

It's whiny baby shit to act like Democrats deserve to win voters over with their strategic choices without alienating anyone. Just say you believe the candidate's strategy will work, and you're comfortable with the tradeoffs. I won't blame you for it - I'll respect you for being honest.

You take a strategic position (assuming you don't have a deeply held belief in the area) because you think it help you with more voters than it hurts. You think votes you lose on Gaza will be made up for by the winning over Israel hard liners. Then you run the experiment and see if you were right.

I know it's futile to keep having this argument but I just want some honesty about what "he needs to win in Texas" means. It means anti-trans pledges will win more votes than they lose. And if you're comfortable with that then you should be comfortable with the idea that he will lose *some* votes.

approaching “post that gets me permabanned or doorknocked” in response to cis people sharing opinion polling on trans athletes. no pollsters is asking neutrally much less in good faith & even most “this is bullshit” posts amount to “uh-oh my beloved weirdos are unpopular” with extra steps.

I've increasingly seen the terms "Biological [male/female]" used to talk about trans people, even by people trying to be supportive, and I wanted to get my thoughts down about that. The tl;dr is that the terms are slurs and factually wrong, and pushing back when you see them is appreciated.

In the past 2 years the word transgender was made verboten at universities in many US states, with scores of academics having lost their jobs and whole departments being shuttered for having harbored the wrong sorts of thought.

Dear cis people, Please, for the love of G-d, stop using the terms "biological male" and "biological female." They're scientifically meaningless. Sex is a bimodal cluster categorization. The brain is biological, no? There is no one factor that's universally determinative of sex and gender.

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
