I don't trust Ford one bit, nor do I trust any of those shady Tory fuckers. I'm willing to bet they'll do the same, use something like the Cass report to suggest there isn't enough evidence to claim that trans healthcare is beneficial, and then use that to push legislation through.
Yeeeah. The line of thinking was abortion is baby murder -> a society that allows baby murder doesn't value life -> a society that doesn't value life encourages children to murder other children.
Funny how it's not "indoctrination" when the message is trans people don't exist/are child groomers/whatever the nonsense they're pushing nowadays is.
Bathroom bills don't actually have anything to do with trans folk, they're strictly about enforcing rigid gender stereotypes. It merely gives people - security guards, police, hyper-aggressive men - just cause to invade women's spaces. To grope, assault or worse the people inside that either do not conform to their fucked world view or that are "too pretty" to be real women and so must be assaulted in order to prove themselves.
I was being kind of snarky, because it's impossible to tell what gender someone was assigned at birth just by looking at them, so this is impossible to enforce reasonably (but would still be dumb even if it could be, of course).
That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing for schools to be teaching. People should question gender roles. Schools shouldn't be mentioning biblical teachings at all. If you don't like that, go put your kid in a private religious school. Ugh.
I broke down while reading it, I was so happy for her. We need more of this. So much more.
This is the norm in my life, as well, well, minus the tall, but certainly not rail thin super models. Just women.That's a great story!
And, yeah, society's toxic view of women is a huge part of the equation. There's something that would be almost validating about that in and of itself, if all the bigots could maybe stub their toes and spontaneously explode or something?
'Cause I mean, yeah, plenty of cis women wish they were short, dainty little flowers because that's the modern fashion model and junk. And not knocking the ladies that do have that physique, but - virtually all of the women that have been or are currently in my life are... not that. Quite tall on average, definitely not rail thin, there isn't a "dignified lady" to be fucking seen.
Muscular/athletic women would definitely be amongst the first groups to be able to identify with our struggles, at any rate.
Women come in all different shapes, sizes, & forms. It's not just women it happens to, but men as well when we're talking about society's ideal view of what a man or woman should look like. This body shaming nonsense needs to stop.That's a great story!

We absolutely do.
Oh god I remember this, it's awesome!
It sure is, and yes, bring on the manbaby rageOh god I remember this, it's awesome!
And the amount of seething impotent rage the vile morons spewed about Bill Nye becoming... whatever the equivalent of woke was in 2017, was also something. So many salty bigot manbaby tears. lol
If that's what they want to waste precious time on, then that's on them for wasting their insignificant lives away.It sure is, and yes, bring on the manbaby rage
Right?! If your biggest problem is bitching about others, life is good. If you're BEING the hate that rains down on others, yeah, life is too good for you.I'm always lowkey jealous of perpetually online keyboard warrior bigots.
Like their lives must be amazing and privileged and amazingly privileged to be able to dedicate hours day in and day out for years on end whinging on the internet about people they've never met and will never see.
Personally I'd use the time for playing video games or sleeping, but whatever floats their boat I guess.

The grass is always greener, eh? I'm an exactly average height woman (5 foot 3), and I envy the tall, athletic women out there. My GF complains about her "broad" shoulders, but I would looove to have her shoulders and arms.'Cause I mean, yeah, plenty of cis women wish they were short, dainty little flowers because that's the modern fashion model and junk.

Right?! The silly things I see people making a fuss about, it makes me wonder how they even have the energy. My life is pretty cushy, and I can't even work up outrage over all the things that legitimately deserve it, much less the BS so many people manage to get worked up about.
The boys at school poked fun at me for being a short girl. I'd always get called a midget. -_____-
It's almost like no matter what you look like or who you are, you'll get bullied for it by somebody.
100% true. I got it for being ginger, a nerd, someone who liked gaming and card collecting before they were cool, for wearing glasses, for being...not masculine.
What's also pissing me off is the misconception equating trans women to gay men when that's not even the case. There are many trans women who very much prefer women, and are in relationships with them. Yet, that seems to be a foreign concept to grasp for some....
Or you know, you're just a woman in a healthy relationship with another woman, living her life as her real self. It's as simple as that, nothing complicated.Trans women are like Black men in that regard: Simultaneously the best and the worst at everything.
For Black men, they're somehow both an ignorant subhuman species that couldn't tie their own shoelaces without help from the White Man™. But also they're literally superhuman with surpassing intellect, capable of easily overpowering and outrunning a dozen whiteys and masterminding global conspiracies to erase the Aryan Race once and for all.
So for someone like me, well clearly I'm just trying to trick men into having sex with me whilst also simultaneously preying upon women in their bathrooms and grooming/trafficking/molesting any child within 5 miles! Literally and figuratively. Basically I guess I'm just a slut that'll have sex with everyone and everything, and everyone should definitely be 100% afraid at all times.
And then when you consider the mortality rate for Black trans women, everything slots into place.
See, I'm tall, you just took it to silly extremes. 6'5"? Pfft, who do you think you are, @The Eye in the Sky!?!Meanwhile my dumb ass is over here at 6'5", 'bout 21" shoulder to shoulder, and honestly could do without some of it.
You probably make her feel much better about her height, honestly. I like being around taller people (you silly people!) because I feel less conspicuous by comparisonAlthough it does have its perks. I ain't gotta worry about using a step stool for the top shelf, and I can just reach up and grab the fixture on the ceiling when it's time to change the lightbulbs or something. My partner haaates being tall, too, so I make sure to flex on her at every opportunity and then call her shorty after the deed is done. Y'know, to make her feel better.
Weird Al ftw!!
Probably spends all of his time watching Futa porn and wishing he had one in his room. The types that are the most vocal usually have the most skeletons in the closet.I mean... yes, but also, maybe not? Like I'm having a bit of a rough time parsing whether this is meant to be an anti-trans screed (which it's failing pretty miserably at lol) or if it's just playing into the whole tired ass "Bangkok Prostitute" trope.
Yay, go slut go!So for someone like me, well clearly I'm just trying to trick men into having sex with me whilst also simultaneously preying upon women in their bathrooms and grooming/trafficking/molesting any child within 5 miles!

Why do I feel like pulling a goofy Kurt Angle promo about being safe? o_oYay, go slut go!
...what am I? Chopped liver?!
You are my sunshine.
