viviana's ethically justifiable omelas is better because it's actually a really great (hypothetical) future and it only demands two trans women suffer

this was going to be a joke about my web serial but it morphed into a joke about the democrats along the way

They invented an "ethically justifiable Omelas" where instead of one child, it's trans women, and instead of utopia it's a society that's gradually getting worse for some reason even though they keep throwing trans women under the bus

I think the most important feature of my hypothetical ideal pair of general-purpose scissors would be to have the handle made out of the brightest, most intense signal orange or hi-vis green possible. Just the most obnoxious, unmissable colour it could possibly be, for when it inevitably gets lost

Given that, it's really weird for people to be laughing about "how are they going to enforce this". Maybe we ought to be taking the plight of queer people outside the West a bit more seriously.

The answer to every "how is that even going to WORK?" dunk on some horribly bigoted new policy designed to marginalize people is "violently and with no regard for what you perceive to be an insurmountable logical flaw here"

I don't want to be a cunt but the way this is being reporting is kind of... gross? Clicking the link leads to a report about homosexuality being criminalized for the first time in Niger's history. Asexuality is only mentioned insofar as the acronym "LGBTQIA+" is used a few times.

In June 2026, the nation of Niger became the first nation in the world to criminalise asexuality, as part of a wider crackdown on the LGBTQIA+ community. The country, currently run by a military junta, broadened its anti-LGBTQIA+ laws, increasing the criminalisation of LGBTQIA+ ‘practices’ to include anyone who ‘attempts to’ participate.

Niger criminalises same-sex intimacy for the first time in its history

Neighbouring francophone countries under military rule, Burkina Faso and Mali, also recently criminalised homosexuality

The West African nation of Niger has enacted a law criminalising consensual same-sex intimacy for the first time in its history.

The new Penal Code of Niger is understood to introduce a provision criminalising ‘indecent or unnatural acts’ and ‘sexual relations with a person of the same sex’, though the Code is not yet publicly available. It is also understood to contain other wide-ranging provisions such as criminalising ‘LGBTQIA+ practices’ and involvement in organisations ‘for homosexuals or LGBTQIA+’. Imprisonment terms are up to 20 years and are accompanied by heavy fines.

Burying the lede on horrible attacks on human rights for the sake of a cheap "haha you used the words wrong"-gotcha really epitomizes everything wrong with journalism on worldwide queer issues huh

Autodaemonophilia chapter 5 will have Lilith penetrate Morrigan using a suitable implement for the task at hand

Worse---his self-defence plea was initially rejected, but it has been successfully argued that the jury should have known the woman he killed was trans and not cis. Because apparently, the woman he killed being trans makes the killing more justifiable.

"Emdash Semicolon" would be a really good name for a writer-themed Guilty Gear or Jojo-type character

Yeah that's right I bet you're pretty much stumped by this piece of author commentary

Well, you've gotta hand it to Lilith, she's great at working under pressure and handy enough to improvise when dealing with new tasks, even if it might take some manipulation to get her to apply herself with sufficient dexterity.

It's a good thing the girls in Autodaemonophilia can handle medical interventions done in unclean conditions with improperly sterilized tools

I'm sorry I'm not writing more—I fell into a research hole about very questionable medical procedures that has probably put me on a watchlist of some kind, but it was all in service of writing, promise

Watching American Psycho, a movie I somehow haven't seen before, and it's staggering how much Patrick Bateman trying to seem like a well-adjusted person has the same cadence as an LLM

[stumbling onto the internet like I've been beaten up by a google docs file] I'm totally nailing this next chapter. It's all smooth sailing here, not at all a struggle to write. Absolutely not the most technically challenging thing I've ever written.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that rape culture permeates everything about patriarchal attitudes towards trans people, but it still warrants pointing out, over and over again. Especially when it comes to the institutions we depend on for healthcare.

Violence and especially sexual violence against trans people has long been seen as justified. Our very existence is parsed as an invitation, and very few cis people are willing to extend us humanity or dignity sufficient to care about how much we are excluded, exploited, and ostracized.

A lot of trans advocacy focuses on mental health outcomes and risk of suicide, and much of the modern reactionary pushback against trans healthcare is based in proving that it doesn't make us any happier. Keep that in mind when you think about the fact that WE ARE ABUSED WHEN WE TRY TO ACCESS CARE.

The shameless abuse and violence against trans people by these so-called "medical experts" continues to this day, unabated, because the vulnerability of the trans population is downplayed and the harms against us go unreported and unpunished. We are positioned as aggressors even as we are discarded.

Following along @mzakharuk.bsky.social's reread of @juliaserano.bsky.social's "Whipping Girl". Barely any cis people understand the rampant rape culture inherent to the medical gatekeeping of trans healthcare. These "professionals" know the power they hold over trans people and often abuse it.

> In the 1970s, Suzanne J. Kessler and Wendy McKenna came across several instances in which gatekeepers were rather blatant about this practice: “A clinician during a panel session on transsexualism at the 1974 meeting of the American Psychological Association said that he was more convinced of the femaleness of a male-to-female transsexual if she was particularly beautiful and was capable of evoking in him those feelings that beautiful women generally do. Another clinician told us that he uses his own sexual interest as a criterion for deciding whether a transsexual is really the gender she/he claims.”

"yeah so in my anarchist system the strongest gladiator simply orders everyone else around, no need for a government." do you know what a government is

it's baffling how often people manage to convince themselves that the ideal political system is some form of "anarcho-statism," a system where you have no government but retain some other power structure that inherently tends towards creating hierarchies

In India the leaders of the Cockroach youth movement have been arrested, along with more than 1,000 protesters, opposition politicians, journalists, student union leaders & lawyers; New Delhi is in lockdown. The police have prevented mass protests against the country’s election chief taking place.

This is like an entire type of trans person you see all the time in spaces for early transitioners, some of them stay at this stage for a week while others can take years going back and forth before finally deciding to try HRT

The parental "I have decided that you have hit the cutoff where it is my moral imperative to deprive you of these cherished possessions" maneuver really ought to be condemned way more harshly

The "if you were on a deserted island with enough supplies to survive and also HRT, would you take the HRT?" hypothetical can be useful for people figuring stuff out but tbh if I was on that island I'd be taking the HRT and focusing all my energy on trying to figure out what the fuck was going on

I know the "throwing cards on the ground" thing sounds unhinged but this was the dominant playground belief on what "playing pokemon cards" meant where I lived. They called it "flipping". I remember showing them the little "how to play" sheet that came with the cards. they couldn't read english.

I wonder which team has the highest score in terms of destroying stuff like pokemon cards that later gained a lot of value, kids who'd invent games like "Throw the unsleeved card on the ground outside and see which side lands up" or parents throwing out collections the moment the owner looked away
