Notice: If you are doing a true crime podcast do not: -incorporate "dad jokes" into it. -adopt a light and cheerful tone.Especially Please try to avoid giggling while you are discussing someone being murdered. Don't know why people think there's an audience for this but I hate it. Show respect.

Rowling has really been sucked from "moderate GC" five years ago to fully Alex Jones levels of not only transphobia but racist misogynoir against cis women. I suppose none of the stuff she said 5 years ago was sincere but it's still sad to see. You really need to be careful what hate does to you.

The majority are lazy but it's not that they like Trump. Fascism won because many couldn't be bothered to go push a button to stop it. He doesn't have a big mandate. Most do not like him. (75+ million liking him is still way too many though)

Pierre is another online right-wing troll somehow elevated to a position of power like Trump. His "ideology" is something you would expect to read in bad Youtube comments written by 12-year olds

Love watching the right wing brain malfunction when the ISIS supporting domestic terrorist also happens to be a huge Trump supporter. Yeah, turns out you guys and ISIS agree on a lot of stuff.

best analogy I heard for male (or female) socialization that wasn't just bioessentialism/original sin of gender is to compare it to music. If we're born male in this society we all hear the music intended for us? Do we hate it&avoid ever listening to it by choice or love it?Individual variation.

it's obvious cis men have male socialization but misogyny is not socialization it is a choice. It's an extremely reductive view to treat human beings like computers with operating systems determined by gametes produced we are a product of both our socialization and our choices.

Of course my favourite new year's song even though hoping for a pretty good year this year seems insanely optimistic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr8a...

🏳️‍⚧️Transitioning is a form of self awareness, not just because we may have hated ourselves before. But because we loved ourselves enough to be happy for the remainder of our lives🏳️‍⚧️
