I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

Hey y'all did you know that "queer issues" used to mean things like tax benes for rich white gays? It's so weird how Third Way supported that but not us filthy poor transes! (Until now) In case you thought that was a joke: nope, she literally goes to parties with them & thinks they're "good eggs" 🙃

Bluesky post by user @monicacarmean.bsky.social which reads "Okay so actually Third Way used to be *really good* on queer stuff when queer stuff was letting rich white people claim marriage tax benefits! I was sad the that they lost that thread when it came to trans kids and I'm really glad they've come back around. Lanae was a good egg, glad she's back."

Reply by @petrisaurus.bsky.social reads "'When queer stuff was letting rich white people claim marriage tax benefits' sounds like a joke - is that a joke? If it's not, just fyi: the people for whom marriage tax benefits was the biggest issue often identify as "gay" or "LGBT" rather than queer, & they are still in good with centrists."

Response by @monicacarmean reads "I actually don't need yourFYI on what counts as queer, thanks!"

Response from @petrisaurus reads "If you think tax benes for rich white people was the prev most important issue for queers, think a centrist group is full of 'good eggs' who were just a little mistaken about us trannies, & never said 'queer' on bsky before this, then you def do!

But don't worry. I'll mute & shut my queer mouth."

Excellent thread! There *are* rewards for being A Good Guy Who Speaks Up even if they are not immediately obvious or publicly bestowed. First, integrity is its own reward. Maybe you didn’t save the world or change hearts & minds. But if you held the line on not making it worse, that’s something.

He was better dead.

Merril was an insatiable, barrel-chested madman whom everyone loved--except those that most needed him. Instead, he anchored them in the misery delivered him by his mother, who had been a madam by trade. He grew up playing in her clubs, convinced she was his sister. He only found out..."

There is a larger point to be made about outrage driving engagement and making money, and about how social media manipulates us all, and you can make any and all of those points without invoking mental illness. Without talking about how these Black people are just "crazy". Do you hear yourself
