the purpose of banning section 230 is to ban all political, sexual, or critical speech from the internet this is to silence grassroots movements that don’t have the explicit sanction of the wealthy and powerful you are an abject moron or a liar if you believe it has any other purpose

1. heard from a constituent 2. talked to a trans person 3. heat firsthand how the law would negatively impact a constituent calling (or even better: showing up to your rep’s local office) to say “stop listening to pundits & the press” is remarkably easy but surprisingly effective!

And this is not mistaking the proper role of a civil society group vs a political party. Even if the Dems largely vote properly, the sum total of their responsibility is not just direct exercise of power: they need to be advocates for their political program and values, too.

The whole "transition is a one-time Sex Change Procedure you get from a team of doctors" trope is a lot of things but most of all it's just vastly downplaying the self determination involved in transition My body wasn't given to me by some doctor, I reshaped myself through forbidden alchemy.

Imagine being a teenage girl now. Your male peers are all watching Andrew Tate and doing Nazi salutes and every week the most prestigious magazines in the world run a piece about how it’s a social emergency that you’re not having babies in the 10th grade.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

There are an estimated 1.6 million trans people in the US. That's equivalent to the population of Philadelphia. Imagine if the federal government suddenly announced that Philadelphians no longer have civil rights.

Rahm Emanuel saying he’s a predator so trans people shouldn’t have rights is a pretty clear distillation of the issue. Cishet men are sexual predators but they have all the power, while trans people have the least power, so trans people must be blamed for and punished for the crimes of cishet men

congrats to all the liberals calling the attacks on trans people in the U.S. "tragic but inconsequential since there aren't all that many of them" for finally finding out what they'd have done in 1930s germany

The thing about Musk is that, trolling and nazi behavior aside, he is incredibly fragile. Mild pushback changes the entire course of his life. Look at when he got boo'd at that standup show, when his daughter rebuffed him, when Grimes tweets things he doesn't want to hear, etc. [>]

ok so what gets called "gender ideology" is jsut like "be who and how you want" and what gets called "not ideology" is like "follow these specific unwritten rules and perform these forbidden rituals according to the circumstances of your birth"

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

And above all, you let life defeat you. All the gifts your parents gave you, all the love and patience of your friends, you drowned in a neurotoxin. You let misery win. And it will keep on winning till you die -- or overcome it.

obvious to most people who will see this, but worth stating directly: it doesn't really matter if the person being targeted is cis or trans to the people who want this shit enforced. partly because it enforces a specific idea of gender presentation, but also because it still drives a wedge anyway.

Trans people fighting to cling on to our very basic existing human rights are totally outgunned at the moment. I promise you, hand on heart, 99.9% of what you are told about us every day is a lie. We can’t answer back on traditional media platforms, because we are banned.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

So much rhetoric against trans people starts with “imagine if this happened…” That’s the entire ideology of the “gender critical” set. Sitting around imagining things and then acting like it’s evidence.
