Growing up as a trans woman that isn't attracted to men is a deeply confusing process of elimination of trying to figure out why you feel so queer and so gay, but not in the way you're supposed to be.

"horseshoe theory" was always best understood as centrists congratulating themselves that they had some magic insulation from being radicalised

To give you a sense about the ideological drift being caused by Twitter, here's Noah Smith talking in 2021 about the account that would become "i/o" and "avidseries." And then here's a screenshot from today, where Noah Smith has constant friendly interactions with him.

so many centrist dickbags outting themselves as being terminally online losers obsessed with the left

as a trans person, I fucking hate that while Trümp is sending marines into my state to suppress dissent over his literal black-bagging ppl without due process, we still have to contend with cis ppl's handwringing over sports & the NYTimes umpteenth "just asking questions about trans youth" bullshit

unnamed government source

i am sure keir starmer will think this is fine actually

Lol. She fucking apologized to Riley Gaines. I knew staying out of praising her for the weakest of allyship while partially throwing trans people under the bus was the right choice.

that she only ever got to 60k followers despite years of international news coverage really shows how unpopular transphobia is.

helen lewis' position is it's nasty when the trump admin do it over there but totally fine when labour do it here

let's go

there is a chain of bakeries in yorkshire called thomas the baker, and every single time i go there, i make the same joke that he's done well finding a totally different career after doctor who.

"being american" is not the ultimate aim of everyone alive. "mexican" is not a lesser identity than "american".

This is literally only a problem if one sees Mexico as a hostile entity and Mexicanness as irreconciliable with Americanness.

@nora.zone omg thank you for the hair compliment

all this bluesky needs centrists discourse is basically assuming people subscribe to newspapers for the opinion section and not like sports and crosswords and stuff.

just told some random delivery driver something wasn't for me, then overheard him calling me "that lady", let's gooooo

things that matter to bluesky as a business: almost no sports on here things that do not matter to bluesky as a business: needs even more politics but from centrist perspectives

ok but what simone biles said was bad. you do understand that, right? please tell me you understand that "OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!!" is bad.
