I really wish that all those "standard folks" could understand just how fucking scary it is when YOU or YOUR GROUP has been publicly trumpeted as being a danger to the country. You never know what mentally deficient wingnut might decide to take matters into their own hands. Look at the guy who killed the little Palestinian kid who was his neighbor after Oct 7. Look at the threats and actual attacks on healthcare workers during the Pandemic. On poll-workers and election officials after the 2020 election. On Arab-or-"Arab-looking" people after 9/11. On Asians when drumpf was calling COVID the "wu-han/China flu". On Jewish people whenever they are the designated "bad guys". On anti-fascists when WE were, among other things, accused of setting the 2020 fires....
You know, actually all those claims about trans people killing kids are true.
No, wait, that's not right. Actually it's the incels with their "Saint Elliot" who want to kill all the women who won't have sex with them. I swear, every accusation is an admission with the RWNJs.
The underlying terror is that their wives, sisters and daughters are going to bear the children of 'unfit' Untermensch. The fear is entirely sexual in nature.
Honestly I think trans folks have the superpower of (in lots of cases) living in this world as more than one gender and therefore they've researched or discovered more secrets of the gendered universe than the rest of us. So probably, if I had to guess, trans people are less likely to be mass murderers because they have already walked in the shoes of so many more people than cis folks have.
I love the anecdotal stories of trans gals discovering how much harder it is to open a jar once they start hormone treatment. Haha welcome to ladytown! And good luck finding clothes with pockets. Sorry about all those new feeeeelings.
Or the fascinating changes trans guys experience either from hormones (the world feels so much more rational! I can do anything!) or presentation (feeling safer on the street than when they looked like a lady).
My BFF and I (she is not trans) have been talking about pockets forEVAH. We're always joking about pockets, looking for pockets, designing pockets into Halloween costumes.
Almost fifty years ago, my high school American Lit. teacher said that she would believe women were truly liberated when everything they owned had pockets. Sorry, Mrs. Alexander, we still arenโt there.
Bernadette Banner and Abby Cox on YouTube have outstanding videos related to pockets. There are almost certainly many more....theirs are great, though.
"Trans National Criminals" was what I thought I heard at first, too. I was very puzzled for a few seconds. I swear, the MAGAsphere is so deranged at this point that I'm ready for them to bring a bill allowing the pets of Springfield to open carry assault rifles for protection against the immigrant hordes.
You mustn't use the phrase "pregnant people." That is definitely inferring that girls and women are PEOPLE. Only men are deserving of being called people.
So the online right is now claiming Harris was given the questions before the debate and they've got a sworn affidavit from someone at ABC to confirm this.
There's simply no way she could have correctly predicted the topics that would likely have been covered at a Presidential debate and prepared for them without this help.
โQuestionsโ - like it was a test and thereโs only one right answer.
This is such a stupid gripe, since almost anyone could predict the topics that the questions would be about. And as anyone who watches debates can tell you, no candidate sticks to the question ( even the candidates I like) ; they talk about whatever theyโve planned to talk about or react to the previous guyโs
By this logic (she was prepared for the questions they asked!), the moderators must have been given Drumpf's word salad ahead of time, otherwise how would they have known to have a response from the mayor of Springfield about THEY'RE EATING THE PETS!
It's so strange that they don't consider the logical follow on, which is that Trump needed to have been told what the questions would be ahead of time to avoid having sounded like a complete fucking loon.

And I for one welcome our new trans overlords - err, ladies. Or whatever. Hail Crip Dyke!
I'm building a Miranda Coil in my backyard.
I will use it to trans you, your cat, and everyone you love.
What's a Miranda Coil? I tried the googles but it insisted on talking about Mirena coils.
It's like a Tesla coil but it turns anyone within a several mile radius trans.
Post the schematics?
Oh, shit, look at Crip Dyke with their own post, just like a regular old-school Dok Zoom. Well-written and incredibly frustrating post, nice work!
Oh, CD's been writing for Wonkette for... I want to say about a month now? It's been a while, anyway.
Ta, Crip Dyke. We must make them fail!

Or anything else they don't like.

The detachment from reality is strong.

That is the best sexism test (and the best AmLit teacher!) in the history of high school sexism tests.

Megyn Kelly lost her mind when she found out Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris - LGBTQ Nation
https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/09/megyn-kelly-lost-her-mind-when-she-found-out-taylor-swift-endorsed-kamala-harris/
> She claimed Swift supports taking trans kids from their families and "chopping off" their body parts โ two common right-wing lies.
Christians chopped off my foreskin without my consent when I was an infant, Megyn. Where's your outrage about that?
That's the "Judeo" part of "Judeo-Christian"...
Actually it was justified for hygiene reasons, which mostly boiled down to it supposedly stopped masturbation.
"local authorities noted that they werenโt sure they agreed with all the FBIโs detective work because after all, Gray denied the account was his."
Wouldn't you expect a 14-year-old with social issues to be totally honest about taking responsibility for something that might get him in trouble?
Imagine my upset when the phrase 'other perverted stuff' proved not to be a link to AO3 after all..
I've got the same screen name there as here, just sayin'...
We share a fandom, I see. Thanks for the link!
Ye gads. Even my partner doesn't know my AO3 screen name. AND NEVER WILL.
Oops.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Dolt.

A cow-orker who is a rwnj cited this today. Tiresome.
Donnie played golf. What did he think they were going to be asking him about? His handicap?
Did ABC also force Donnie to blurt out that Haitians are eating all the pets?
By this logic (she was prepared for the questions they asked!), the moderators must have been given Drumpf's word salad ahead of time, otherwise how would they have known to have a response from the mayor of Springfield about THEY'RE EATING THE PETS!
It's so strange that they don't consider the logical follow on, which is that Trump needed to have been told what the questions would be ahead of time to avoid having sounded like a complete fucking loon.
She has never in her life had to prepare to make a convincing argument in an adversarial situation. This is known.
What swear was used? "Damn"?
Sworn affidavit? Well, that seals it.
