I tutor, and I’ve ran into lots of rich boys with disabilities who learn that they can get their parents to pay for their homework to be done for them (or the mom does it herself…). Fired a client because he had too much of a “reading disability” to do the required reading for the paper we were writing - previous tutors would write his papers for him!

The DOJ has had a moratorium on pursuing any Title 9 claims related to gender identity for several years now. The EEOC has not been investigating claims of discrimination related to gender identity in several districts also for several years now.

These are specific items that need to be addressed. I’d like there to be separately pushed, because “Trans Bill of Rights” already sounds like it’s going to be nuked from orbit.

I had more than one job offer explicitly revoked because of my gender identity, including a federal one (cited Trump’s EO.) I sought help and did not find it. Living in a red state gives you zero recourse.

There’s never going to be a time in my life where I will be able to afford even a modest gaming computer :(

I’m just glad the media called it “racist.” Not “controversial” or any other sane washing crap.

This is disgusting.

the women obsessed with this kind of thing

Right wing women redirect their frustrations with being treated like breeding sows to an acceptable target. Gives them a feeling of power and control.

The Girl Scouts let trans girls in though?

I broke my foot and didn’t get medical care like 3 years ago, and now it lets me know.

They immediately used his death to try to argue that trans people are all domestic terrorists, and organized witch hunts to get people fired for making comments (often targeting professors that were on TPUSA’s hit list). There is a good chance that the Trump regime will cite the shooting as evidence that trans people should be viewed as terrorists.

I think it also really exemplifies the “reality show” - iffication of right wing American politics. The president is a reality TV star, Dr Oz is administering Medicare, Hegseth was a news personality; Erika Kirk is just an opportunistic vulture like the rest. The kind of person who spends their life trying to get on Big Brother or Survivor so that they can make a career out of partying and socializing.

What do you think about the second half of the article, which talks about her inviting a pedophile protecting Christian pastor on tour with her?

Hydrogen bonding with just any molecule they bump into. Those promiscuous polar particles.

In the tape released by the campaign of Brad Carson, the Democratic candidate, Coburn says a campaign worker from Coalgate told him that “lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they’ll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it. Think about that issue. How is it that that’s happened to us?”

The propaganda is evergreen. There was a commercial I remember ages ago (I think Mormon funded(?)) that was just a creepy guy walking into the bathroom after a little girl in opposition to like gay marriage.

Pretty sure it was an argument against the ERA even.

That is just the classic Phyllis Schafly playbook - making a career out of telling women they shouldn’t have careers.

It’s also been a great way for them to dismantle women’s rights, while proclaiming themselves as “feminists” or “protecting women.”

Being able to ban trans medical care sets a precedent for intervention in medical care, which makes it easier for them to attack abortion and other reproductive health care rights. (Contraception is definitely on the list)

These bathroom bills invite the policing of gender expression. There’s multiple cases of cis women being harassed and chased out bathrooms for being butch, which also serves the purpose of discouraging visibly queer people from being in public. This is also what the conservatives want; think about how much they hate women with dyed hair and undercuts.

This also puts a giant wrench in feminist activist spaces, because you have a bunch of people who’s have redefined “women’s rights” and “feminism” to be inherently in opposition to trans people. There are “feminists” posting Matt Walsh. I have a strong suspicion that at least some of this is paid trolling - that the success of early 2010s internet feminism (#metoo) threatened some powerful people.

The answer the UK settled on was to ban trans men from essentially all single sex public restrooms.

These kind of laws really exist to be a covert way of banning trans existence in public; there have been trans women in the UK who have sued because they have essentially no ability to use changing rooms or piss at work, because the law doesn’t require employers to provide single stall/all gender restrooms.

It’s just kind of annoying that he is probably the most famous trans man, that he’s the example that always gets brought up in this conversation, but that he literally supports bathroom bans for non-op trans women.

Imagine if the only trans women that people knew about was Blair White but a porn star.

I feel like I can speak ex cathedra for all trans men in asking allies to use men like Jamison Green instead. He’s the kind of man that represents the best of us, and I think all men would benefit from reading him.

Buck Angel is a loser and a jerk. Like, Can we pick a better example than a guy whose claim to fame is porn and hating non-binary people? I could give you 5 reasons he sucks, and someone else could jump in to give you five more.

Jamison Green is a personal hero of mine, and a much better representation of the community.

This is the guy the Right wants in bathrooms.

Viola Liuzzo

Killed by the Klan, but the government helped justify it. Did the same kind of shit they are doing to Renee Good.

ICE is just formally state sponsored Klan. The Venn diagram of cops and Klan approaches a circle at certain points of US history.

Go fuck yourself, fascist. Don’t speak on shit you don’t know about.

California started restricting guns when the Black Panthers started exercising their 2A rights…
