Today in transphobia (Part 1)

This administration uses “freedom” in the same manner that Soviet block governments used “democratic.” If you see that word, it is safe to read it as it’s opposite.

Wouldn’t want 7th and 8th graders to know about these things, would we? These are the same people who think that sex education causes teen pregnancy. Sigh.

In a cutting resignation letter sent last month, the employee said the paper “fundamentally not only stands against my own values but also against what I am”. A second trans staff member resigned weeks later, also citing the “harm” they say the newspaper is doing to trans people.

Trans Nazis? Yeah, I like a nice leather outfit same as the next girl, but nah.

Wait, is this saying Nazis like trans people now? I’m confused…

Well of course- *everyone * likes trans people. Though many don’t wish to be seen to do so publicly.

That all said - I did actually meet a trans person who was a ex Hitler Youth member in the 80’s. They had changed vastly since their indoctrination in childhood.

Count me as “Not shocked or surprised” for the first part, and “Pleasantly surprised” for the second.

Honestly, I am more confused by the claim to be “antifa neonazi.” The cognitive dissonance would make their head explode! (If that was an actual person.)

They said they were anti-antifa, or in normal english, a fascist.

Maybe read that again, I see anti-antifa.

So that means we can just call them profa? I hate Nazis.

When someone hasn’t been gathering the data on something obvious like that, there’s probably something nasty hiding in it. (See: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.)

I’d say that she, being a successful writer, should be able to express her thoughts clearly.

Then again, I tried her once [an ‘experiment’ recommended to me] and found her prose to be dead flat and pedestrian. Kind of… embarrassing. Back to the library it went! Maybe she really doesn’t know quite how to say it.

PS: Just my humble (but still irked) opinion. :slight_smile:

Give me back the damned Harvey’s that used to be there. You could have it made just the way you want it : Burger, onion rings, hold the judgements.

After Charlottesville, a lot of people, including Andrew Scheer, played the footsie game by distancing themselves from Rebel Media, as if it hadn’t been an obvious cesspool from the start.

The fuck is wrong with people?

[ETA] It strikes me that these people probably think they are doing some Hunter S. Thompson type, gonzo journalism by faking their gender identity or sexual orientation to get a story. But they’re just being assholes.

It’s a tactic used forever by transphobes to try and undermine public support for us.
