Please stop with the ageism. Bigots exist in all age groups. I’m 69 and, unlike JK Rowling and other TERFS, I’m not threatened by the existence of trans women and men.

Even putting morality aside, I can’t fathom caring at all that some people want to be referred to by a different gender than they were assigned at birth. Like, it’s essentially 0 effort for me to say “they,” “she,” “he” whatever they ask to be referred to by, and to let them use whatever bathroom they want and let…

There are precisely two circumstances when it’s OK - even admirable - to misgender someone.

Language needs to evolve. ‘People who menstruate’ IS an awkward term. And finding a proper, simple noun to describe those people...means mainstream acceptance and normalization of all trans folk.

Goddammit, J.K! I love your books (the first seven, anyway; after that you just got self-indulgent). Here’s how this works: you have an ill-informed and stupid opinion. You voice it. The internet lashes back and punishes you and explains why you’re stupid. Then YOU SHUT UP. You don’t quintuple down and keep voicing…

You gave a good example. Thank you :)

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words and support. I don’t tell my story for pity. I tell it so people understand why the “good cops” or “good soldiers” don’t speak up. It sounds easy to speak up when everyone around us feels the same. It is hard to speak up when your lively hood and social circle depend on…

god, I am so sorry that happened to you! Good on you for fighting! But don’t blame yourself for not being strong enough. You were totally strong to fight! Settling for your sanity and life is not cowardly at all. They set out to destroy you. I think you are a hero for fighting. hugs

I was in the National Guard for over a decade. I was the “airmen of the year” 4 times. I was the golden child on the way to greatness...

Oh, look, the irony of a guy who MAGA chuds would shout “GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY” at is an infinitely better American than them.

This made me a little teary eyed to see how this man opened up his home for others. This is America. This is the America I’ve known and I want, not all the other shit that was outside of his home.

Can someone please please please wake me the fuck up?!?

Continues to be the truest thing ever said about Zuckerberg.

If respectfully listening to the police ends with citizens in handcuffs, what is the lesson here?

Oh God, those Black Friday fucks...going full lizard-brained primitive in the name of buying shit speaks to a lack of reason that we’re better off without.

“Unscrupulous” is a matter of perspective. I don’t care to have the debate.

When it comes to Youtube, there’s one utterly vital rule to remember:

Churches actively make the world a worse place. They are the least essential. 

These are some seriously strange comparisons. There’s some serious cherry-picking going on here. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Mexico? Why not France, Spain and Italy? And why are we not looking at deaths per 100k which is the standard metric for this sort of thing? When comparison populations nobody makes these kinds of…

“I never thought I’d find a place that was “too left” in America for someone who was already very left to begin with, but here I am.”
