Hey sis, I feel where you are coming from and I truly understand, there are a lot of scary things happening in the world and what others do with their time isn’t something you should ever worry about.

I have a lot of emotions when I see people talk about HP, primarily dissapointment, my guess is that all trans folk do. But it wasn’t a fight we lost, because it wasn’t a fight, but slow incremental progress. If something simple as media choices are a stumbling block for “allies”, then they are just fairweather friends. Naturally people react defensively to criticism, such as GirlfriendReviews, but that doesn’t make make giving money to those that persecute us any less valid critique.

You’re exhausted, so am I, we all are. Transphobia is rampant, yet it’s better than ten years ago, better than 30 and better than a 100. The progress is slow, but talking about the ways our community is harmed is the way to make the next 100 years better.

Ugh, first that kid only getting his ear and now THIS?

Lies!

They say “we can always tell” and then go harass other cis folk. It’s be funnier if it wasn’t so sad.

While bathroom bills are explicitly aimed at trans folk, generally it’s the non-gender conforming cis crowd that actually gets challenged IRL. Which isn’t a bug, but a feature to control and enforce two clean arbitrary distinctions. Almost always some poor butch lesbian being accosted by the gender police and told to pee safely they need some makeup.

There is more to being a man than a tie, and more to being a woman than a dress. Humand are infinitely more complex than those old strict boundaries. This sort of attack is just a impotent attempt to force back the 1920’e statud quo.

“Stacey was up front and the video itself…said it was AI generated. We were very careful to make sure it was clear that these were the words that the family believed Christopher would have to say,”

“I love the beauty in what Christopher, and I call him Christopher—I always call people by their last names, it’s a formality of the court—but I feel like calling him Christopher as we’ve gotten to know him today.”

Can’t have it both ways. If you understand this was fabricated AI then you did not “get to know him today”. The facts of the case were already self evident for guilt, but this needs to be a mistrial. We can not have a standard of fair justice when generated AI is treated like living breathing people.

There were videos shown during the trial that Stacey said were deeply difficult to sit through. “Videos of Chris literally being blown away with a bullet through his chest, going in the street, falling backward. We saw these items over and over and over,” she said. “And we were instructed: don’t you gasp and don’t you cry and do not make a scene, because that can cause a mistrial.”

“Our goal was to make the judge cry. Our goal was to bring Chris to life and to humanize him,” she said.

If gasping at video of real events is grounds for a mistrial, then so is fabricated statements intended to emotionally manipulate the court. It’s ludicrous that this was allowed and honestly is grounds to disbar the judge. If he allows AI nonsense like this, then his courtroom can not be relied upon for fair trials.

Honestly reads like The Onion.

Czuba attacked her first with a knife, stabbing her multiple times, saying, “You devil Muslim, you must die,” as her son watched,

“I thought they were going to do jihad on me,” Czuba said, according to WLS.

A racist piece of shit no one will miss. Yet he is also the obvious product of our overtly islamphobic media and goverment. Just 10 days after Oct 7th, this bigot felt emboldened to attack women and children and call it self-defense.

Disgusting.

Potionomics!

Fantastic story, voice acting and mechanics. It’s such an odd mix of deck building, crafting and VN romance. Yet it delivered on all fronts with a solid character writing that kept surprising me.

Oh we all passed skeptical a long time ago. Dude is just making up numbers, scrapping databases and misunderstanding legacy code. All while throwing up the Nazi arm. Musk is nothing more than a fascist fraud.

Okay, so I’m a queer woman who is gonna do her best to level wit you. The problem is that you’re trying to come up with a sexuality based on exclusion, which inherently is going to be bigoted.

If you’re a straight man, you’re attracted to women. But if you were to say “only white women tho” then it’s clearly coming from a racialized place, even if you insist that you’re not racist, your limitations on who you are willing to consider a dateable woman says other wise. Conversely, if you were a white man who says “only asian women tho”, that’s again coming from a racialized and fetishized place. Even if it’s subconscious and unrealized bias that makes sense in your head, the context of fetishized communities is still racism.

So on the same note, it’s hypocritical to say “trans women are women” while categorically insisting that you would never date one. Does this include Trans women who have bottom surgery and pass as cis? If so, then visual attraction isn’t the only factor. If not, then clearly “super straight” has some caveats making the term meaningless.

Anytime you’re trying to define “everyone but X”, you’re inherently embracing a bigoted stance. Does this mean you’re required to date any and all women who ask you out? No, of course not. But to defining an entire category undateable speaks to bias. Lesbian women are attracted to women instead of attracted to “not men”, gay men are attracted to men instead of “not women”. To say categorical trans folk do not apply there is by definition trans exclusionary. On a case by case basis, a trans person can be rejected without bias, but categorically doesn’t just imply bias, but is such.

Jfc. That’s so sad. Fuck you WB. For this and many other reasons.

I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling or not…

Is that seriously in the new one?

It literally is about prounons. It’s super shitty to dismiss another’s identity because you found it troublesome to respect the correct way to address them.

Uhm. Hey, I know you are well meaning and I’m only saying this to inform, not to call out, shame or attack.

But most trans people deeply dislike what you’re doing, it’s called degendering and it’s not an appropriate or respectful way to refer to us.

Detransphobia was found to be rooted in cisnormativity and transnormativity, together with socio-politically-located anti-transgender stereotypes related to the process and the outcomes of detransitioning. Detransphobia compounds gender minority stressors and social exclusion in those who shift or reject their past transgender identity through the process of detransition.

I understand you are worried about saying the wrong thing, but this is a way to deny trans people their identity but talking around it. It’s extremely noticeable and as someone who has attended more than a few trans support groups, it’s dehumanizing and upsetting. Just as non-binary folk use they/them, binary trans folk use she and him. We have one correct way to refer to us, and apart from sentance where you are referring to a group, “they” is not a safe one size fits all.

Again, I say this respectfully in effort to inform. You seem well intending, but I implore you to reconsider.

I mean. Okay? Maybe? But that’s not really the point?

I’m just trying to address how unrealistic you thought this comic was. But it is a accurate depiction of a regular experince for many women’s lives.

Honestly it seems like you’re just trying to “win” the discussion by correcting others. When women talk about the problems they face, it’s not helpful for you to go “That doesn’t happen”.

Mine? America. I even live in a very blue “progressive” area. But I have friends in the UK that have similar experinces. Frankly, why would that even matter? This sort of thing happens all over.

YES. Literally yes.

I’ve been approached by men who say I’m wearing too much makeup and that men don’t like that. That I should smile more if I want a boyfriend. That my clothes aren’t very flattering and it’s unattractive to him.

Like, for all your talk of “go outside” you don’t seem to know what life is like for women outside.
