murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026and every single person who is spouting ~we have real concerns~ about gender affirming care for trans youth needs to shut the fuck up and mind their own genitals. christ. 000
murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026sorry this is the second podcast where I've heard longwell say this and it's such bullshit. actually we are right that trans people should be allowed to compete in sports and that trans women shouldn't be called "biological men" by people who purport to be allies. 100
murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 02/10/2026"marriage equality and trans athletes are not the same" well @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social what I hear is "well obviously *my* personal experience is uncomplicated and morally correct, but *your* humanity is a little more debatable, so you should let dems dehumanize you for political expediency." 100

murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I'll be nice again when democrats grow a fucking spine and some self respect babes. you also should consider this. 010
murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 19/09/2026interesting how so many people's allyship is contingent upon trans people being nice quiet victims. whole lotta folks turning real nasty because a couple trans women said, hey maybe people who call us men and degrade us and throw under the bus don't deserve our vote specifically. 110
Reposted by murphPeter @notalawyer.bsky.social · 16/09/2026i see a lot of debate around this issue that takes it for granted that supporting trans rights (especially in the sports context) will hurt you electorally. it’s worth highlighting that that’s just not what the data shows. 81099183
Reposted by murphAlejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 14/09/2026Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth 11678113651

murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 13/09/2026like how about you shut the fuck up until there is an actual difference between the stance of major dems and their gop opponents on trans issues. 001
murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 13/09/2026trans people: maybe we are not personally obligated to vote for dems who dehumanize us for "moderate points" cis people: wow so you support fascism? you think everything needs to be about you? you think anyone who reasonably disagrees is an enemy? you sound like a cult. 100

murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026it's not purity politics, it's a fucking line in the sand. and I think dems need to actually fucking draw those lines. 000
murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026these spineless fucks are falling for the fascist propaganda and framing it as a middle ground, reasonable thing. when it is a literal matter of life or death. and I'm so fucking tired of pretending that I should be excited about amy acton or gavin newsome or james tallerico. 100
murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026because that's what I hear when I hear about bans on gender affirming care, which has been shown over and over and over again to decrease depression/ suicidality in minors by absolutely huge margins. when a candidate says they support bans or restrictions on care for kids, that's what they're saying 100
murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 10/09/2026how many hundreds of millions of dollars must be spent dehumanizing and demonizing trans kids and trans women and trans athletes before I'm allowed to say, no I don't think vote blue no matter who applies to politicians who think trans kids should kill themselves 121

murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026the fucker has shown up as an influential thinker of the far right in easily half a dozen books I've read since! schmitt's approach to politics is "us" versus "the enemy," & any and all measures are appropriate to defeat the enemy. and in pursuit of that, a leader can and must break all the rules. 110
murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I first encountered schmitt in ernst frankl's dual state - which makes sense, they were contemporaries, and schmitt's theory of government is what created and enabled the dual state frankl was writing about. 110
murph @murphadaisy.bsky.social · 01/08/2026much like @ifbookspod.bsky.social's "one book" theory, my reading on the rise of the far right/christian nationalism/american authoritarianism has led me to a "one guy" theory. and that guy is carl schmitt. you know, the nazi political philosopher. 110
