i genuinely miss when website sort of looked absolutely atrocious. everythings to clean and corporate now. theres no soul
The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."
Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*
if youβre cis and you donβt get it this is LITERAL TORTURE
it will result in dead trans people
and with their other goal of making us βsexually explicitβ for existing
you see the pipeline right?
we exist -> weβre jailed for it -> weβre tortured and die
WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS
Itβs funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim βadult illustrationsβ is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They donβt have an answer.
In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Itβs insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. Iβm introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.
This is what I need cis folks to understand.
It's been a decade.
Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it
the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand peopleβs IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
I see you're interested in Dystopia but violence is a Hard No. I'm curious what your definition of Violence is?
Thank you!

Writer Friends, this is happening today! π
Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.
Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays
Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...
The reason you canβt give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They wonβt say thanks actually.
Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III
Jfc. Every headline these days I manage to be simultaneously shocked and not surprised at all.

Now's a good time to read the #ChoicesAnthology and do everything we can to avoid the #ReproductiveHorror they'd like to impose on us
