THIS. A sibling is currently going through the initial process, and has been given so much misinformation and outright lies that she’s nearing a breakdown. One therapist finally admitted that they “simply don’t want her to rush into things and there’s plenty of time to sort it out” - which is rubbish when her…

No no, clearly we can’t care about more than one thing at a time.

It has to be true because we hear this argument on almost every article about politics/culture/religion/etc that we shouldn’t care about x because of y going on right now.

Clearly the only thing we can care about is letting people know that they…

You’re right. It is only possible to care about one thing at a time, and we should definitely only care about the things that don’t make you uncomfortable.

Oh my god, it is possible to care about more than one thing at a time! Jesus H.

No one - and I mean no one - I know who is actively discussing social issues is doing so at the expense of discussing other current events, nor was Harron at any point in time implying that this was the most significant issue facing anyone today.

It is, however, one of significance given that Jesse’s writing would…

jesse singal's irresponsible reporting actively threatens the lives of thousands of trans youth. stop demanding that we meekly lay our rights and our human dignity under the bus.

Save your conspiracy theories and your concern trolling. If you actually give a shit get out of the comment section and go do something. Sorry people who are different than you are trying to deal with real things impacting their lives and you can’t grasp that.

Or, these types of articles work to delegitimize trans identities and experiences among allies and potential allies, thus reducing safety for all trans people and making it easier for fascists to harm trans folks with no protection from allies.

These people think only their opinions are truly “reasonable” and only they can avoid “Group-think.”

To be fair, I do think it’s more than 0.1% and he did an better-than-average job covering the issues (which is a low bar).

I’m still so wary of this type of mindset in the medical community where I live in middle America, and being from the 80s generation when we weren’t as empowered, my doctors don’t know. I’ve known since I was 3 or 4, I lived out for a decade but I’m too fearful of medical rejection and this kind of suspicious…

“My own experience...”

TERFs make me angrier than the run-of-the-mill transphobic pieces of shit. 

The fact that they toss out around the word “groupthink” so freely while ensconced in a secret, private listserv where they happily jerk each other off about how great they are is pretty much the epitome of the problem.

As well as those who voted third-party because it “sends a message” and they’re too “woke” to fall for the two-part system. FUCK THOSE PEOPLE.

I fucking wish. 

A lot of my guy friends told me I was crazy on election night because through my sobs I was saying “they’re going to take away our healthcare, they’re going to take away Roe, they’re going to take away gay marriage.” This shit is real, this shit has consequences.

While you’re at it, F*ck everyone who JUST DIDN’T VOTE in 2016.

I hope Susan Sarandon drives off a cliff for real
