Well the thing about the MAGA people is the whole ideology of “I don’t care.. until the bad things happen to me”. Thats it. No empathy, no forethought, BUT when the bad stuff happens to them, watch as they’re the first to whinge and whine for “help”.
as a long time fan of yours, i loved this episode. thank you for doing it. (also watching this made me come find your bluesky account and i realized i hadn't followed you here yet)
I've been countering hate with forgiveness and fear with acceptance. It sucks, but my resting heart rate is coming back down. This has been really clarifying. I'm unmasking a lot. Now I want to sing!
So… how’s that statement that you’re not worried about the election results? Did you tell your guests that? Still think that the rights of Trans people wouldn’t be much better than they were, if they were under Harris’s “incrementalism”? Sure as hell would’ve been better than they are NOW! 🤬
i know this was hinted upon by River, but i just wish transphobia didn't *have* to effect cis people as well to be worthy of widespread condemnation. it should be enough that transphobia hurts trans people
i understand that being the crux of all intersectionality, but it hurts that it's a necessity
You know, all I've heard from a lot of the maga sorts, is how unmanly or not ladylike many cis people who don't conform to their mental template are, yet according to this EO, would fit the definition of said genders, meaning they agree its on a spectrum, but only allow their version.
I play/played sports, and honestly there is nothing about playing sports that is specifically “manly”. That is a social construct telling us men play sports and woman cook. But those are hobbies not what determines “manliness”. Others seem to place those labels on actions for some odd reason.
gen x-ers who think that the amount of mexicans in their neighborhood is inversely proportional with the price of eggs are starting to realize that maybe they didn't make the best choice
Butch lesbians, effeminate men, those are the first groups of cis people I can think of.
Basically if you don't like the nuclear family model and don't look like that, transphobes will not like you, the "we can always tell" crowd will call you a man if you're a cis woman with a buzzcut.
I've known/seen many straight cis women who are going to be questioned/harassed for daring to use the ladies room.

Thanks for being one of the good ones, friend. 💜
This is a pretty unbearable time for us right now, but...this helps.
