Seeing so many posts this evening from people - friends and strangers - affected by the court ruling today in Scotland. So for clarity: Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Trans rights are human rights. This is not a debate, this is non-negotiable. Block me if you want. IDGAF.

SOME AUTISTIC PEOPLE WILL NEVER PAY TAXES OR WRITE POEMS AND THAT’S OKAY. WE ARE ALLOWED TO EXIST WITHOUT CAVEATS OR JUSTIFICATIONS. MANY AUTISTIC PEOPLE ARE VERY CAPABLE AND TALENTED INDIVIDUALS, AND MANY STRUGGLE JUST TO SURVIVE. BOTH ARE AUTISTIC AND BOTH DESERVE DIGNITY AND HAPPINESS.

This includes the video games too - I think the hype around the books has died down, but still see way too many people go "but, but, Hogwarts Legacy!!". Especially now that it's on PS Plus. She is still paid for your game even if you get it for no extra charge through PS Plus.

Trans rights are human rights. A society can always be judged by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens.

This is how you do it. It really is “They can’t arrest us all” in action. Remember: as a community, you outnumber them.

The cool thing about human rights is that everyone has them. If one person doesn't have them, then nobody does. Yes, even "the worst criminals" (whatever that means) have human rights too. If they don't, then neither do you. And they don't. So neither do you.

it writes like one of those people who watched a lot of videos about a topic but has no real experience doing it at all, which I suppose makes sense given that's pretty much how it works

My parents weren't convicted offenders...but let me tell you, having predators allowed unfettered access to vulnerable children isn't a great thing.

Also, let's be clear: Having a criminal record also doesn't mean you should be deported to a torture camp in another country and effectively sentenced to death. Because everybody has basic rights, and because dictatorships will always redefine what "criminality" means.

it’s really cool to see Europeans in the comments fighting over how actually, their country’s dehumanising treatment of immigrants and asylum seekers is different 🥴

Transition "cures" gender dysphoria like being in a loving same sex relationship "cures" homosexuality. These things aren't fucking diseases, the suffering people experience when prevented from pursuing a life that has meaning and comfort for them is a form of violence.

last post: even if you're just being purely selfish, whether or not they had criminal records or were legal citizens doesn't really matter. because they're not giving anyone a chance to prove anything either way. so you won't get one either. everyone has rights or no one has rights, man.

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

Me (a person who only drinks tea or water, upon learning about Coors history of union suppression): “I’m going to boycott Coors too.”

Bring back everyone who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. No one should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

He's less free to say trans women are women (just like the rest of us). He's less free to say Free Palestine (just like the rest of us). He's less free to advocate diversity in his workplace (just like the rest of us). But he can't imagine wanting to use his speech for that in the first place.

It’s been way too long since I posted rats. Here are three of my boys (Ringo, Jude, and Beadnose) in a comfy predicament. #petrats #ratsky #ratsofbluesky

If we taxed billionaires out of existence and used that money to make sure everyone has what they need, those former billionaires would still be very rich. But they don't want to be “very rich.” They want to be “insanely, unimaginably rich." And now we can’t afford anything.

The Palestinian population of Gaza are not being killed in a war. They are a captive population, who cannot flee, being systematically slaughtered in a 20 mile long ghetto. It is not a war, it is genocide #SocialistSunday

fyi when you say that most “gender-affirming care” is received by cis people you are providing another avenue for people to think of trans healthcare as cosmetic and frivolous
