There is not a 13yo in the world with those piercing and those boldly made up eyebrows. It’s weirdly up-aging visually to evoke fear of the Predatory Pronoun Menace, while simultaneously infantilizing by talking about the youngest of teenagers to also trigger “protect the kids” reactions

anyway the atlantic has done an incalculable amount of harm to the trans community through soft power "just asking questions" journalism since 2018 and i do not like anyone who has done anything for them it's crazy that cis people are allowed to write about us "objectively" isn't it?
transphobic atlantic cover that also warns about a pandemic

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.

You can tell, with all of the explicit ethnic cleansing making everything worse and more expensive, the GOP's next target is just to go all out on gender wars. Everyone on X or Rumble is complaining about nagging women 24/7, with brief respites for holocaust denial. Full 4chan incel GOP incoming.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

The feminist movement that Steinem did much to mainstream and expand is in retreat, with women’s rights and status eroding conspicuously, and I’d like the usual suspects to consider this before they go on their ahistorical little rants about how she was a CIA stooge or whatever.

Dave Conte, responding to JCO mocking the idea that Real Time is "one of the best tv shows": Oh Lord. Out of touch on this one. Obama, Clinton, even Trump all watch his show. It’s not so much Maher himself but the way the show brings Dems and Repubs together to talk/debate intelligently and civilly. Again, 41 Emmy nominations. You should try giving it a watch. You might be surprised. 

JCO: yes, I have seen Bill Maher but don't recognize much of what you say here.  "talk/debate intelligently & civilly"---really?  I must have missed this.
his entire attitude toward "woke" is superficial, predicable, & unexamined; he seems scarcely to comprehend out of what extremities & desperation "woke" arose initially, & confuses the annoying pieties & cringe-worthy foolishness of peak woke with the actual/literal/killing policies & actions of the anti-woke MAGA reactionaries.   it's like equating an edgy Pogo cartoon with the KKK lynching civil rights activists in the 1960's. yes: they really did kill people! really, Bill.

you have to have a granite heart & head even to pretend that the two are in any way "equivalent" & that your reasoned position is to hover between the two like the Biblical Solomon.

Denmark is a country that steals any belongings refugees have when they arrive, "to help pay for the costs of asylum". Nevermind that refugees cover their own costs in about 5 years due to increased economic activity and taxes. Nope. Gotta steal their wedding rings and family heirlooms.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...
This rhetoric is ideal for listeners who believe trans women are an issue that they're supposed to care about, but don't actually have any real-world experience with them. The hypothetical trans girl who's supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, she can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and she can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people. Her monstrousness, the need to "protect young girls in a locker room" from her, gives them permission to enact policies that in reality only harm the anonymous girls, cis and trans, who want to play sports without the invasive scrutiny of gender-obsessed adults.
