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.

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.
Rolling over and letting it happen isn’t doing the Dems any favors.
They should be fighting this bullshit no matter what.
We should Westworld RGB, Kagan & Sotomayor
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.
Dude seriously couldn’t have waited another 6 months? I mean it’s not a given that we’ll be in a stronger position in the next Congress, but we’re in no position to have any effect on Trump’s choice now. He’ll be nominated and confirmed by November, if not by August.
Commence with the gnashing of teeth and the rending of clothing. This is so completely terrible. We are so fucked, even if we take the house the senate and the presidency again these lifetime appointments of the judiciary are going to screw us over and over and over again for years. I need to go throw up.
That thought will be more prevalent if the base gets more and more power. They don’t think real hard about these things. The Kochs and others tend to think much more long term on these things, they think “issues” more than “solutions” because running on what they really want would not get their people elected. …
SCOTUS’ new collective attitude seems to be: Fuck all y’all.
Ok, seriously, I am going to need every Clinton not named George or Chelsea to go the fuck away.
FFS, Bill, just shut up and go away already.
Yeah, that’s a very odd thing for him to say. “She didn’t pitch a fit.” Umm...that’s exactly what she did, on her official Twitter account. Not pitching a fit and handling it well would mean moving the fuck on with her life and only commenting that “yeah, it happened” when/if asked. Or, and here’s a novel idea, not…
“I had a lot of respect for the way Sarah Huckabee Sanders handled it. She didn’t chew ‘em out. She didn’t pitch a fit. She didn’t call ‘em ‘immigrant-loving thugs’ or whatever. She just got up and left and offered to pay.”
Yeah, defending Bill at this point is just the worst kind of party loyalty. He’s clearly a shit person, clearly not politically liberal or progressive in any way other than by comparison to Republicans, but he’s got that (D) by his name so we’ll stand up for him.
...but also I had a lot of respect for the way Sarah Huckabee Sanders handled it. She didn’t chew ‘em out. She didn’t pitch a fit. She didn’t call ‘em ‘immigrant-loving thugs’ or whatever.
While I appreciate the sentiment, if he were to die in a fire today, the GOP would just install an 18 year-old Trumptwat in his place and we’d be fucked for that much longer
The bill also required unlicensed clinics to notify clients that they were not licensed by the state to provide medical services.

And—once again for the cheap seats—appreciate that the female justices were there, asked the tough questions and ruled from lived experience. This is why diversity is important—not just a buzzword but a principle way which justice is applied evenly.
