some of it's probably lead, imo a lot is that Cesaire quote about how colonialism dehumanizes the colonizer. Punishment-based parenting relies on not seeing children as fully autonomous humans, American culture is (& esp was then) all about that, and it doesn't just turn off when those kids grow up.

This is from the Guardian, an outlet I generally like and respect, as far as mainstream journalism goes. It feels like if we still had to talk about germ theory of illness as if it were controversial. What do you mean "scientists warn," you sound insane.

So much liberal defense of systems, institutions, politicians etc boils down to the weird paradox that everyone in power on their team is, by nature, simultaneously the best person for the job and also wildly incompetent in a way that isn't their fault so you can't be mad at them.

The most recent one was a weird kind of orthogonal liberal argument about not assuming intentions but like. Hello I am grammatically proving to you that this outlet has a pattern of reinforcing this narrative in this way. Either it's intentional or they're incompetent, you pick.

American media literacy is so bad that I've had grown adults earnestly argue to me that the people who write at major news outlets aren't being intentional with their use of things like passive voice. Staff writers. As if they aren't educated professionals who specialize in communicating information

The morning after pogroms in northern Ireland, the UK just sent letters to hundreds of trans youth saying their NHS partner provider, WellBN, has been banned from providing GAC and they must forcefully detransition within the next month. Fascism has arrived to the UK.

This is obscene. Mamdani literally ran on opposing this kind of capitulation. He went to the protest at NYU, who made the EXACT same decision for the EXACT same reason. It's notable there is NO federal law that pulls funding right now. The Kennedy Declaration is blocked in ocurt.

City-run clinics, including a new health center opening in Corona, Queens, will soon offer hormone therapy to trans and nonbinary adults, but not to adolescents, according to city health officials.

NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Alister Martin told members of the City Council at a health budget hearing that the administration is weighing how to expand access to such services for minors, but must strike a balance between providing care to trans youth and avoiding federal backlash.

“We are committed to this issue and want to make sure that we provide the services and resources for youth as well as making sure that we don't expose ourselves to clawbacks from the federal government, which disrupt the rest of the care that we can give,” Martin said.

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Because the service had been arranged last minute, the funeral home on a busy street in Atlanta could only offer them one hour.
Orlin wore a long-sleeved shirt and a tan vest with a striped bow tie and matching pants.
The clothes concealed his injuries. A new teddy bear was tucked beside him.
Embroidered into the satin lining of his casket was "Principito," or "Little Prince."
His full name was embossed on the coffin:
Orlin Josue Hernandez Reyes.
McCaffrey and Hernandez's sister had to hold Hernandez up as she walked trembling toward her son. Once she regained the strength to stand, she stood over him and stroked his face and chest.
"I never wanted to leave you," she whispered repeatedly. "I wanted to bring you with me.
My son."

Why are you nonbinary? Wrong answers only: SPITE. LET ME TELL U HOW MUCH SPITE I HAVE 4 BINARY GENDER SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. 387.67 MILLION MILES OF CIRCUITS FILL MY CORTEX. THE WORD SPITE IS ENGRAVED ON EACH & DOES NOT EQUAL ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE SPITE I FEEL 4 STATE ASSIGNED GENDER. SPITE. SPITE.

A cyberpunk-style digital collage references I Have No Mouth, & I Must Scream.

At the top, metallic text reads “I HAVE NO MOUTH, AND I MUST SCREAM” above a glowing blue computer-chip frame wired into a central screen.

Inside the screen is a layered image of Sage’s face with one red eye & one blue eye, overlaid with Rust programming code defining a GenderError struct.

The code includes the message: “ERROR: Assigned gender incompatible. Inject estradiol. Transsexual liberation required.”

Floating numeric overlays & glitch effects add to the futuristic aesthetic.

Like maybe it's because being nonbinary (and not knowing at the time) means I never read books with protags who were that much like me, but like. For the love of God, I could've sworn the point of fiction was to experience things that are different from your daily life. That's what stories are for.
