We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

Nope. Giving a permission structure to abandon marginalized people in order to secure our perceived safety is what we are talking about—and it's quite bad, actually. But what are you worried about? Abandoning them is how you win! Enjoy all those sweet winning bigoted votes! Watch them flow in!

Your post was very much about voting, pretending otherwise is disingenuous lol. Giving people a permission structure to not vote is bad, actually!

You want to know if throwing trans people under the bus will lose my vote? I bet you do. But I only tell my plans to those I trust. It will lose *some* people’s votes, and you knew that. That’s the chance you decided to take. Don’t play dice with people’s lives if you want to know my plans.

This post isn’t making a point about voting, but people with pundit-brain can’t approach any idea w/o equating it to voting, and so they respond by demanding assurances about voting—to which I say those who offer no assurances will receive no assurances. Feel a fraction of the anxiety you cause.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

"Assume that trans women are gonna be just like cis women unless you have documented, scientifically verified reasons to believe differently" is treated as though it is the single greatest heresy in world of "experts on gender affirming care" and it really gives away the game.

Over time I’ve grown to really dislike the comic booky / Pratchett / Gaiman sort of conceptualization of Gods as magic superbeings that feed on belief. I think it sort of contributes to the modern tendency to misunderstand ancient and/or pagan cultures as literally thinking of their Gods as magic..

It’s helpful to have an actual Labour MP saying right out that it’s not what transgender people do or say that is the problem: it’s their presence that she objects to, their existence. Yes, this is what it always was, and these people just keep winding each other up and up to ever more extreme views

1) You aren't "police." You're immigration and customs. Your purview is almost entirely civil violations. 2) You refuse to wear a badge, identification, or label your vehicle. Anonymous strangers screaming at people while pointing a gun is not de-escalation.

I wonder will any Irish media outlet have the guts to have Sally on live over the weekend to talk about her (to use their preferred term for once) "being cancelled" by her publisher, or is that privilege only extended to cranks and transphobes, rather those who oppose an ongoing genocide?

Many moons ago (i.e. around 2016) it was very profitable for big name indie authors to make their own audiobooks despite the enormous up-front costs, but now it simply is not. Amazon pay out a tiny fraction of whatever the customer paid for the book, so if the customer uses a free trial, you get $0.

Defenses of this say there's correlation between porn usage and committing these sexual acts but you need to actually have the urges first. It neither creates nor relieves violent action In other words to paraphrase Billy Loomis: Porn doesn't create perverts Porn just makes perverts more creative

Again, there was almost no public element in this: no organic surge in public opinion to demand it. It was simply imposed upon Britain by the world’s most hateful and poisonous media outlets, by leaning hard on our ever-compliant political leaders, who are always happy to say yes to the tabloids.

When someone says "Gender ideology" they mean "trans people". It is a euphemism designed to make it possible to say; "I oppose trans people existing" by saying instead "I oppose gender ideology" enabling them to avoid being accused of genocidal fanaticism and an esprit fasciste.
