I can't flirt. How do people do it? I open my mouth and ask questions. I don't think that's how it's done, but I don't know what else to do... I can't even talk about myself. How do normal people do it?

Talking to a friend who said it’s more important now to be the friendly face to all those trump cultists because it’s harder to hate someone they know. But all I feel is the desire to be safe from a distance. Thoughts?

Do you think it’s wrong to be distancing myself from anyone in my life who voted for trump? Friends? Family? Etc.

“We argue, in contrast, that transgender rights stem from human rights, i.e., those fundamental rights belonging to every person. Persons with…transgender identities deserve to live and flourish in their communities… without fear for their safety and survival.”

journalofethics.ama-assn.orgTransgender Rights as Human Rights“Born that way” arguments have been used to establish transgender rights, but lack scientific evidence. Stronger support for promoting transgender rights comes instead from human rights-based language...

TERFs are mentally ill individuals who are unable to change with the culture and the science. They should receive care for this, or be locked away before they hurt others. If you know any TURFs, please recognize they are in desperate need of psychological help. Heal the world. -Professor Sofie

Why would anyone listen to cishet politicians about real trans people? If I wanted to know about giraffes, I wouldn’t ask a committee of hippos. I would go to the giraffes themselves. I’d ask a doctor or scientist who specializes in giraffes. Or I’d ask one who was both giraffe and a doctor.

I don’t have any meta accounts to quit and give the middle finger to on the way out, so instead I’m asking all my straight friends, my students, and the academic community to quit theirs. The queer community is not a silo, and hate has no place in ANY community.

Happy new year everyone! Let’s make the best of 2025…live in the now and don’t let the feeling of impending doom get you down. Stay strong 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #transrightsarehumanrights

Today I voted for freedom, for the rights of the most vulnerable in our population, protection for our hardworking immigrants, and a continually growing economy. DO YOUR PART! #vote2024 #VoteBlue #KamalaWalz2024
