fun fact: inflicting the horrible things you had to deal with upon a group that’s more marginalized than you, just so you can feel some sense of access to power? that makes you a terrible person
TERFs cling to regressive policies for a lot of reasons, a big one being because they were forced to try to meet an impossible standard as cis women, and they believe it's right and good and the only way to be, and all women should be held to that same impossible standard. And it is impossible, and racist, and patriarchal, because cis women have been told all their lives that they simply are not allowed to exist any other way. Be beautiful, be small, make babies, be happy with the scraps you're given and be happy with your proximity to cis male whiteness, because that's all you deserve and that's the best you can hope for. But guess what? As trans women also grow up in this society, we have absorbed all those same messages about what women are "supposed to be."TERFs are furious that others are free to choose another way. Embracing being trans and nonbinary is an affront to them, because how dare you reject the power and privilege that you get from following all of the gender rules that have been imposed upon you, and that you've been punished for not following for your entire life? Why can't they choose another way? More spoilers: they can, but chose not to because it was hard, and the anger of others doing what they could not is a huge part of their "problems" with trans people. So TERFs choose to oppress us, when in fact they should be looking at why they feel the way they do. And why they've decided misogyny and gender policing is totally fine, when they're the ones perpetrating it! Because it definitely doesn't benefit them, but it sure does benefit the patriarchal cis white heterosexual standard that's forced on everyone from the day we're born.

Yeah the endgame here is very obviously the destruction of girls’ sports by making them sites of mandatory sexual abuse and it is really blackpilling how many people are going along with it out of fear of trans people or their hope for little Christleigh getting a track scholarship to Azusa state

i've said before that the paranoid hatred of trans women in all context is rooted in the abomination that is a woman with sexual agency without the abjection of pregnancy [in that it makes the body-womb public property*] that is: anti-choice, transphobia, menopause-as-repulsive are the same coin

2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

A digital illustration of a Axolotl Kaiju rampaging in a city. The kaiju is center frame, mostly colored in bright mottled pinkish reds,  standing on unseen hind limbs, forelimbs held out wide, all its little gill appendages are flared out, its eye are spouting little pink flames and it is blasting a rainbow-colored beam of destruction out of its mouth. All around it are fairly crudely rendered silhouettes of buildings engulfed in lurid and non-naturally colored flames. At the bottom center of the frame in a stack of rainbow-colored lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

And, as some people have been at pains to make clear lately, in the most embarrassing ways possible (see: Klippenstein, Ken), this is, yes, all about gender. A cargo cult politics built around the idea that if *we* just got a flagrantly irresponsible macho failson to run, we'd never lose.

For plenty of leftists and centrists alike, there is a desire to discipline women and femininity, to put us in our place, and redeem some kind of politics of domination--well, as today's news makes clear, you see what that *actually* looks like in Platner's mind. Do you like that?

This should be the conversation killer when it comes to Platner. He wasn’t drafted, he chose to join a mercenary group. He wasn’t starving or homeless. He comes from wealth. He chose to be a mercenary when the Marines told him to cover up the Nazi tat or GTFO. He chose to become a mercenary.

one really off note in this excellent @mashagessen.bsky.social is that the best bet to beat Trump is “a Graham Platner." An outsider to the Dem establishment, yes please, but enough with glossing Platner as anything but a lesser-evil play for the senate—can’t beat corruption with corruption.

An aspect of this story is that removing federal employees rights makes them less able to resist illegal actions. Its illegal to put living people on currency. But the Trump administration just pushed out the public employee. This is what they mean by "The Deep State."
The director of the printing bureau, Patricia “Patty” Solimene, and other staff repeatedly explained to Beach and Brown that there were legal and procedural obstacles to producing the note and that it would take years longer than they envisioned, the four employees said.

The two political appointees were dismissive in response, two of the current employees said.

“She had told them we’re not authorized to do this. We can’t progress any further, and all the stakeholders have not even met to discuss the next steps,” said one of the employees. “Currency often takes six to eight years to produce a new bill, particularly one of such high value.”

Solimene said she was abruptly reassigned from her post by Treasury management on April 27, writing the next day in an email to colleagues that she was leaving with a “heavy heart.” She wrote in her goodbye email, a copy of which was obtained by The Post, that she had been reassigned to another job in the Treasury Department and that her departure was “not my choice.”
