Just want to note that this is totally untrue, at least from my side @craner is, in fact, one of my favorite dissensus regulars. And I'd guess his top 100 is full of 80s-90s R+B and jungle (and yacht disco) so not much to argue with there.

My nutshell take is that she's a very interesting figure - obviously falsely claiming a marginalized identity is as a rule despicable and inexcusable, but she inadvertently helped kickstart a public conversation about race as social construct and how arbitrary racial categorization can be...

Could you clarify what you mean by this?

Btw I guarantee you the Matt Walshes and RW politicians of the world spend immensely more time publicly discussing trans people's genitals than trans people do. Even more well-meaning cis folx will ask completely inappropriate genital questions with alarming regularity. Like, it's fucking wild...

More generally, that's all Matt Walsh does I personally don't think he's worth debating bc if you can't cross the very basic threshold of acknowledging someone's right to exist, it's pointless to talk about anything else But if you're going to, be aware that he's a one-trick pony of debate...

Wait I thought you were conspicuously making a show of telling us all how you're ignoring this thread So, do you want to continue pretending to ignore it or pop up with random Matt Walsh nonsense? Gotta make up your mind, buddy But that aside, it's extremely easy to refute Matt Walsh The...

A close trans friend of mine described herself to me today as being "pretty much frozen with terror and extreme anxiety" It's not going well yall

Yeah I mean that was like 5 minutes of skimming Twitter replies, and those are pretty tame tbh Anti-trans ppl love to take the most extreme thing any trans person anywhere has said or done and universalize it to all trans ppl - this terrible shooting (and ofc like any sane person I feel awful...

good post yeah maybe the strangest thing to me about people like MB + HMG is how closely they parrot American right-wing talking points, not only in the topics but in the language itself. like, don't you have your own things to talk about and your own way of talking them? it's not, as you...

btw one of the wildest things about this is how their crusade against trans people and absolute refusal to address gun control have combined to make Republicans consistently talk about mental health sure it's 99.99% gaslighting and they can only pretend to care at all bc their bitterest enemies...

this guy's bio is "pro-NFT, anti-woke"

the replies are as bad as you'd think recycling a classic here "they have to recruit children"

the Crowder being referenced above

tbh I didn't realize until this thread the extent to which anti-trans discourse in the UK is dominated by TERFs, who are a total non-factor here as terrible as they are, they're at least less threatening than the mixture of religious fanatics and cryptofascists (or just fascists) we have here

yes that was my immediate thought that and/or misdirected general anger at the assault on trans people, and specifically in Tennessee have to wait for more information to come out

update here: OK had to roll back that age to 18 after massive protests, but it's a strategy GOP lawmakers are using in multiple states, either as end goal itself - i.e. using care for minors as a foot in the door to ban gender-affirming care for everyone - or as a way to move the Overton window...

cool story bro

yeah my heart plummeted when I saw that and immediately envisioned what would follow the same exact legislators who refuse to do literally anything about gun violence will almost certainly use this as an excuse to escalate their anti-trans rhetoric and war on trans people. as well as the tidal...

it's a pretty good documentary I'd say they're both very smart and fucking idiots clearly very smart, well-educated, ambitious people but at the same time completely divorced from reality outside of their little bubble of electoral politics everyone working in politics is de facto a yuppie...
