on one side: piña coladas, health food, yoga, champagne. all controllable variables. on the other, "getting caught in the rain," which you can't fairly do on purpose. by definition an inconvenience. this is the only one on the narrator's list I buy; as a kink it rings true. the rest is obfuscation

NYT has been cooked for a hot minute now but it’s fun to see how bad it is outside the lens of their coverage of trans issues lol

This is so infuriating I don’t even know how to articulate it adequately. Shameful barely even covers it honestly

It is shameful that RAINN, representing sexually abused people, erased trans people because they are scared of Trump. To any org censoring themselves: you cannot jettison trans to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too. But we are all in this together.

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.

I spent today trying to encapsulate how I felt about the Trump administration's concerted campaign to remove transgender people from existence across the federal bureaucracy, what may be coming next and what steps if any can be taken to push back. I'll be updating this regularly.

Trump’s executive orders are not law. This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it. Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

it's all happening in broad daylight. we don't need you to "shed a light," we need you to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Sand in the gears. Block every nominee. Boycott every hearing. No business as usual. Press conferences are not action.

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.
