The thing that frustrates me most about this "third gender" stuff is that it's living proof of how transmisogyny is deeply baked into patriarchal cultures, and how the societal refusal to recognize trans womanhood is millennia old, but it's been turned into Noble Gender Savage fanfic by dipshits.

Maybe one of the most important messages that trans people can internalize is that there is no “true trans.” Transition is a *practical choice* we make based on what will best serve our lives. Transness is a social identity that emerges out of that context.

An illustration by Gustave Dore for Dante’s Divine Comedy that shows two silhouetted figures standing on a tall summit gazing up at a great celestial conflagration of souls in heaven.

"Now, with it being a year, it’s hard to feel like that justification holds any water," said another guard member. “It feels like the guard is being exploited in a sense." National Guard members deployed to DC, in their own words, in @newrepublic.com:

Huh. Be me: - Start reading She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat - Catch up to English releases to find out it's on hiatus - It comes off hiatus within months - Start reading Wandering Son - Catch up to English releases to find out it was discontinued - Publisher is trying again, within months

Starting to listen to @bitterjurors.com Shadow Play Gays. As they discuss Utena's first episode, they mention using people as sheaths, something I never thought about watching RGU. I immediately connected that to the Latin word for sheath though... Vagina. Swords are phallic, but sheaths are yonic.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting
Screenshot of the article's graphic, showing color swatches derived from the Earthcam archive, illustration the color of the reflecting pool calibrated against satellite imagery, from 8 June to 19 June 2026. I chose yesterday, 19 June, so it rendered the US American flag with a green hue instead of blue.

Come to think about it, I probably shouldn't have dressed my birb up for Pride while she's exploring TERF Island. (Clementine is probably asexual but her gear is about how proud she is of me, a trans lesbian.)

Lukest of warm takes: the bi girlie's straight boyfriend is fine at both a gay bar and a Pride Parade as long as he behaves himself. Probably leave him home if you're going to the lesbian bar, but again, if he behaves himself nobody will blink twice at him!

There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.

Lol, watching The Secrets of the Bees. Watching how male drones are born late, can't do much as feed themselves, exist for the sole purpose of mating with traveling queens to diversify hive gene pools, and are then killed by the female workers: This is the future feminists want.
