Transphobia is balls

it’s really interesting how all of my friends who have been caught up in the tech industry layoffs this week have fit into one or more of three categories:

- over the age of 40
- something other than a cisgender man
- somehow involved in advocacy for inclusive corporate culture

i’m not surprised, just disappointed. and tired.

I hate to say “this is me” about a web comic, but this is me

@futurebird I’m so happy that we have arrived at a time in history when my natural aversion to phone calls is shared by so many. My extroverted friends call me out of the blue and I’m like I love you but why would you choose violence like this.

What's happening in Florida to public education is fulfilling one of the right wing's most fervent goals: the destruction of public education -- and its refashioning as little more than a propaganda tool for the thug-ocracy that runs the state.

A powerful #lesson - source unknown.
A teacher tells her students, "I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a #witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade."
The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought guilty.

It's weird, as a librarian, to have to have conversations with yourself about how far you would go. Would I be willing to go to jail for 30 days because I did the right thing and refused to take LGBTQ books off the shelves? Could my family afford me not working for 30 days for doing the right thing? Would I still have a job afterward? Would I be able to maintain my clearances to work with children if I had been to jail for 30 days for not removing allegedly sexually explicit books from shelves?

"This sounds really interesting. I'd sure like to read a transcript of it instead of listening to it."

The other big discussion thats been going on between me and my sister these last three months has been about how essentially a lot of the GC anti-trans groups outrage might stem from the unspoken point that transgender people are Skipping The Queue.

The ultimate british sin.

2nd wave feminism had a lot of eggs involved in it, many arguing points from a position of trying to wrestle with their internal issues, and to find any slight balm of comfort from their gender needs.

The promise of the Sex Wars was that ultimately feminism would win out, everyone would realise that all femininity was a false consciousness performance enforced by the patriarchy, and everyone would become in effect genderless and neutral, which also just so happened to be in the shape of a man. As long as everyone stuck to the plan, thats what everyone would get to be.

Then heres suddenly trans men getting to be men BEFORE them, they're skipping the queue. Here's trans women making a mockery of our pain, perverted agents of the patriarchy.

Cannot reiterate this enough:

PLEASE don’t request refunds from Apple for any unused time on your Twitterrific or Tweetbot subscriptions.

It could literally bankrupt small shops like these.
