I agree, that was a little hard for me - though I understand why she presented it this way and I know everyone’s mileage varies there. I’m not saying it to nitpick as this is a wonderful story about a caring mom and her daughter, but I just wanted to back you up and explain it to any cis people who may be curious as…

Thank you for sharing your story, and the best to your daughter.

The cruelty is the point. These fascists want dead and homeless queer kids.

Once again straight up begging people to speak up about this shit especially as they use anti-trans bill proposals to really crack down on existing as a trans person.

If you feel confused or overwhelmed by discussions about trans athletes - the legislation being proposed involving trans youth athletes is all about…

The obvious solution is to classify sports by physical tier instead of biological sex.

Germans in the 1930s: Why are Jews so anxious?

I mean, being closeted is also not like known for being a soothing balm on one’s mental health.

The more I hear some of these people, the more I think the line of thinking is: “If we let them kill enough low-hanging fruit, we’ll be allowed to survive the next 50 years of Republican rule...”

It’s almost like having your ability to express yourself healthily, being denied support to truly understand who you are, and being turned into an illegal pariah has lasting consequences to one’s psyche.

Perhaps everyone about to make an anti-trans comment should consider for a second who their allies are in that fight. If being on the side of Nazis and people who think women should be barefoot and pregnant doesn't give you pause...

I bet a lot of athletes didn't feel great about competing against Michael Phelps, but we didn't take a vote to see if he should get kicked out.

I’m not sure that’s a good goal to have. Our ideas of fairness are not necessarily a democracy-even if 99 people out of 100 think something is fair, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is. And when you are asking people who have a vested interest in the outcome, in narrowing their competitive field, it’s hard to…

If she was white, would she be referred to as a “woman”?  She was only 16.  She was a girl.

I don’t have kids. I can’t imagine the worry you go through. I do, however, have preexisting health issues. According to the back to normal narrative, I’m expendable. I’m never going to have a normal. I’ll be wearing masks for the foreseeable future. I literally see one person a week because I have to. I understand…

I ignore anyone who tells me that I’m safe unmasked around unvaccinated people because I’m vaccinated.  They can wear a mask or not as they please.  They don’t know my immune system.  They don’t know who I interact with.  They don’t know who I’m protecting by taking what they think are unnecessary precautions.  For me…

I expect the IOC will penalize Russia by awarding them the 2032 Summer Games.

can we also talk about how Laurie was planning on selling Rue into the sex trade? that was horrifying. She locked her in her house. I cant imagine a scarier scenario. 

I know you’re mostly joking but all the talk about a resistance is pretty dumb. This isn’t a TV show.

HBO knows how to throw a wedding. I was so happy for Tom. He didn’t screw or betray anyone, he gave them all their comeuppance. Shiv is horrible to him, and literally offered him no future when he asked her what his place will be in the new order. She said, ‘we’ll figure it out.’ Roman spits on Tom whenever he can.…
