Non-binary trans theatrical lighting designer and technician who probably over-analyzes the news and plays too many video games while dreaming about a stable enough schedule/finances to return to playing TTRPGs

Yeah I saw that article. It's nice to see but it would be nicer if they had come to the conclusion on a moral basis. Part of me does want to write something highlighting the positive stuff happening since a lot of what I wrote about recently is negative.

Thanks for your article and that you have so many excepts that I can link and share to people.

The Democrats' failure to actually support trans people is obnoxious for a few reasons. First, I'd like to live, thanks. Second, it's a losing strategy. There's already an entire 'our whole thing is we hate trans people' party.

saw this on FB but not in my feed here. It may be cause it was from a few days ago but figured I'd post it for more people to be aware of if that wasn't the case. From a press release on whitehouse.gov

to me the craziest part of the story is they are trying to say they can regulate an organization based in Dublin, just because there are performances in the US

thanks for supporting me in the comments. Part of me is now tempted to write a dairy about my concerns about Newsom as a trans person, but that seems like it might be playing with fire

I actually don't think he'd lose. I think him winning would be bad for the non-rich in the country, even if he threw us a few crumbs. And when the working class inevitably got screwed they'd go back and vote for the next Trump-like candidate to blow it all up again in the next election in vengeance

I managed to read the whole thing but held back from replying in the comments. Probably going to wade into the comments today since it has had such a response, but we'll see where my head ends up after reading what was added since last night

Seeing a poem I wrote back in 2012 and realizing it hits a little different on the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Going to try and put it here and hope the format limitations don't butcher it too much. At the time I didn't give it a title but if I had to title it now I'd probably call it Visions...

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Obama was a state senator before being a US senator and was a community organizer before that. Again I'm not too deep into Platner's background but I don't think he has any experience like that.

Warped Bobbie @warpedbobbie.bsky.social · 24/10/2025
And also I'm not in his state so my opinion only goes so far, but I guess I was questioning why people were so set on the only two choices being Mills or Platner this early in the process.

Warped Bobbie @warpedbobbie.bsky.social · 24/10/2025
Ok, but I feel like if for example AOC had gone straight to run for Senate, the amount of people telling her to take it slow would really dwarf the pushback I'm seeing on Platner, and I feel like some of the wider acceptance of Platner's candidacy is at least partially rooted in privilege.

Warped Bobbie @warpedbobbie.bsky.social · 24/10/2025
My point is, with people worrying about another Fetterman and those saying Platner isn't fit for elected office, I feel someone with the background Platner has might want to aim for something with a shorter term limit or something a little more local as their first foray into politics

Warped Bobbie @warpedbobbie.bsky.social · 24/10/2025
What I don't understand is why he's jumping straight to being a senator. Am I missing part of the story where he's been in politics before? I feel like he should start off in local politics to actually have some legislative accomplishments to point to in order to get people to trust what he says

Went to the No Kings 2 in Livermore CA today because I have work out here later, but still was energized by all the people upset with the administration exercising their right to protest. #NoKings

Had 2 things 2 weeks ago that I'm still "riding the high" from. First I got to meet up with my sister who I hadn't seen in almost 3 years and like myself had also come out as trans in that time & on my way home I stopped in at the college I attended 20 years ago to meet with the revived theater club

came across a post in other social media about a show I designed lights for in 2013. while my audience here is very different, I figured why not post the pictures here too. Here I can actually tag the wonderful photographer @ladybedivere.bsky.social Hitcher (San Francisco Sept 2013)

Just to be clear about what this says--not only is transition rare among the general population (<2%) and not only is detransition rare among those who do (lowest estimate is 1%, highest is 10%), but *transition regret* is only a third of detransition. A fraction of a fraction of a fraction

the part that bugs me about this is I watched the video he put out in 2024 and it's clear he no longer holds those positions or wasn't being genuine, and now he doesn't really seem interested in engaging with community about it. It feels like he assumes our vote so he chases the conservative voters

I also think those in the wealthy class learned that letting workers have free time to ponder their life meaning and direction hurt their ability to pay workers less than they were worth. Now they need to crush work from home and keep workers from self reflection and self actualization.

Also if Democrats turn on trans people won't Republican's just make ads saying "we told you so" and "how can you trust a party that flip flops and supported child mutilators in the past?" Or start saying if Democrats were wrong on trans people what other minorities are secretly destroying society.

Warped Bobbie @warpedbobbie.bsky.social · 17/07/2025
data that Republicans spent massive amounts of $$$ on anti-trans ads that may have affected the outcome doesn't mean that Democrats can try and neutralize that money by being anti-trans too. Who's to say that Republicans can't just pick a different minority to pick on next time if Dems abandon us?

my brain reads it as him trying to understand his son, and I guess by extension the disaffected male voters. When I recently watched his statement on Trans Visibility Day in 2024 it really feels disingenuous now and it reveals he's buying into the consultant line that trans issues hurt the Democrats
