Imagine being so brutally, one-dimensionally self-caricatured, that pretty much anyone who's heard of you would read this and know instantly that it is about you.

It's like he comes so pre-disgraced that he gets the racism as a freebie. So the Telegraph, or The Critic, or Talk TV, or the BBC, or RTE in their hurry to launder his transphobic bigotry as "controversial" just skip right by the fact he thinks black people can't act or muslims are beneath contempt.

I try to imagine it—hearing a vicious, down-is-up simulacrum of my lived experience wielded as a tool & a weapon, every single day, on the heels of all the other ways, implicit & explicit, I'm dehumanized by my society, culture, & politics—& I can't. I only know how it looks from here, & it's vile.

jesse's applying that model to himself—the political equivalent of 'she was asking for it' but he's also getting uneasy: you wait till you get home before you hit your wife/kids, in public you keep a clam face on

And for anyone puberty-aged or older, too. Puberty blockers were also a compromise, and now the fascists are saying even that is too much. So, HRT for trans youth.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Hey cis allies: when a trans person is talking about the trans experience, this sort of empty cheerleading is less than helpful. We need to be able to talk about our lives and experiences, rather than being told that the distinctions don’t matter in some cis person’s kumbaya imagination.

The only time we should be using "transsexuals" is when we sing along with Dr. Frank N. Furter in Rocky Horror. Otherwise, they're just men and women. 💖

I’m over here drafting a thesis on how we’ve ceded rhetorical ground by moving away from the idea of sex changes in order to indulge American squeamishness with the word “sex”, and this person stopped me to hand me a crude crayon drawing of a smiley face.

“I don’t have a problem with trans people, I just don’t think they should be able to use public bathrooms or play sports or get healthcare—“ ok so that’s segregation. you are functionally a segregationist. and you want me to believe that fights fascism somehow. ok.

If the only thing you have to note about the rising tide of fascism is that we have to let it rise far enough to be over someone else's head in order to stop it, I don't think your strategy is particularly good.

“People only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight.”-“Eric”, Terry Pratchett

So you're saying that Christians should abandon all forms of evangelism, which to us usually means allowing people to go to Hell for all eternity, a fate worse than death? I hate how it's often practiced, but to me a complete absence of evangelism is unkindness in the highest order.

trans rights is kitchen table issues when you side with the right and it's woke extremism sabotaging the party when you side against the right
