The focus on pornography and blaming it for every social problem has led to actual predators flying under the radar until it's too late. Stop blaming porn and start finding actual solutions.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

People... are allowed to come up with mean names for inanimate objects. If you compare this practice to racial slurs, I'm going to think you believe people of other races hold the same concrete significance and value as inanimate objects. This is one of those slips that does not look good on anyone.

how about you care about actual fucking people on this planet before you start wondering if your toaster has a soul. Once everyone materially demonstrates they care for all people on this planet and we deal WITH ALL THAT and all the animals too then we can talk about your nonsense.

The unceasing obsession with sex and purity in combination with paranoid fear of actual sexual contact or human relationships is in many ways the defining anxiety of our time.

The reason every elite institution in the country is propping up pampered millionaire Ezra Klein is that his overarching response to the country’s plunge into tyranny is “Don’t fight the fascists, become a little more like them.”

I'm sorry but this is an absolutely terrible take. The difference between fanfiction and AI is that fanfiction is a labor of craft and love by amateur writers that explicitly does not attempt to profit off the art. AI slop exists for the singular purpose of generating capital without paid labor.

this is why you can’t give an inch to transphobes. they are driven by hate and no amount of kindness will make them even momentarily soften. it is a militant ideology.

ICE is one of the most well funded military force on the planet, entirely used internally on it’s own citizens, and completely loyal to a far right fascist dictator. if democratic politicians are not on board with abolishing ICE, they must be replaced

Here's Michael Knowles a month ago once again calling for the "eradication of transgenderism" and here is a man who threatened to shoot up a gay bar because he wanted to "eradicate transgenderism." This was retweeted by prominent conservatives such as Chris Rufo. This is stochastic terrorism.

A script you can use if you’re not good at speaking on the spot.
I'm calling to demand that Senator Schumer not allow Donald Trump to take away access to transgender health care for anyone, let alone people with federal or state health insurance.
Trans healthcare is lifesaving medicine. It is not cosmetic or frivolous; it is miraculous and it is vital.
It is not something trans people can just go without.
[You can add a personal anecdote here-how it has helped you or someone you love, how long you've been receiving trans healthcare, etc.J Trans people are also over twice as likely to live in poverty, which means they are often receiving this care through government-funded programs. They simply cannot afford it otherwise. If this care is lost, trans American lives will be lost too. This is the truth.
If none of this stirs the Senator's compassion, please understand that trans people are, as a group, politically active, and they are rarely Republicans. The Senator should understand that if he caves and allows Trump to do this to us, it would be a betrayal of his constituents at an unforgivable level. If he caves, I will never vote for a Democrat again. I will not vote for a Democrat for president, for senator, for dogcatcher. This is a promise.

j.k. rowling should be understood, first and foremost, as a misogynist. she just sometimes cloaks her misogyny by accusing others of sexism. see how she denigrates emma watson as an ungrateful, spoiled, bratty princess. this is solely because watson refuses to be a transphobe

Media elites consider morals and beliefs a matter of aesthetics. Joe Rogan is a moderate to Kimmel because their social circles overlap and it would be disruptive to name him as the hate-mongering cryptofascist he really is.
