Are you upset by the DA in the Cornell rape case saying that fact that Jane Doe voluntarily drank alcohol means that no crime was committed? He could have investigated further, but the bad news is that this is how New York State law handles alcohol and consent. Voluntary first sip? No crime.

I don’t understand why people are so *gullible* about the claim that schools are providing *medical treatment* to trans students. Schools need a permission slip to apply sunscreen or to give Tylenol for a headache. Social transitions are just using the kid’s preferred name and pronouns.

I was explaining this to my spouse the other day and he was absolutely dumbfounded. I then reminded him of a couple of procedures I had (different from these) where no anesthesia was offered and they told me I could drive after. The first one I believed them. The second one I asked him drive me.

#histmed This is indeed a fascinating study. If you haven't heard of the "Plague of Cyprian" before, you're not alone. Its historiographical significance has only been realized in the past few years. And no, currently it's not believed to be plague (Yersinia pestis). What was it? We don't know yet!

I've spent a lot of years studying a lot of collapses, and the truth of the matter is that they're always mundane: mild climatic shifts that reduce crop yields, a dumbass in power who makes some terrible decisions, neglecting things that obviously matter but the will to fix them can't be summoned.

This is really getting out of hand. There are DOZENS of court cases in which Dem groups are fighting to protect trans people from the horrors that are underway. Members of Congress don’t have standing to be the plaintiff in most suits (Joyce Beatty does because she’s on the Kennedy Center Board)…

FL Dixiecrats voting Bush or HRC 08 voters who genuinely preferred McCain are wrong on merits but acted logically. People who ranked Nader-Gore-Bush or Stein-Hillary-Trump but voted 3rd party or stayed home acted frivolously. These are also arguments dems *should* run to the right.

These maps are very illustrative. As you look at them, consider what the states with more restrictions have in common, and how they are different from the states with fewer restrictions. Trans rights are being rolled back, and it's not happening in a vacuum.

I’ve seen many references to this: "Labor is transphobic now so Democrats will be too!" This is based on a failure to consider the different origins and valences of transphobia in the UK and the US. Transphobia in the UK is fueled by TERFs. In the US, by the religious right.
