It took me too long to figure out what this weird bug is because there are entirely too many beetles in this world.

In 2020 we were told Biden's age didn't matter, we just had to suck it up for one election to oust Trump, because Biden wasn't going to run again anyway. Then a week ago, after skipping a real primary to push Biden through again they realized he was old.

The older I get the more convinced I am that the people who tell us that we need to shut up and listen to the adults in the room who know best are, in fact, the adults in the room.

Yes, fears that you won't be attractive enough is gender dysphoria, but I should also note, it's also just patriarchy? Like, do I feel super attractive? Not particularly. I remember feeling a lot better about myself when I first transitioned, but like, I'm 44 now?? That was nearly 10 years ago?

I don't want to pick on that one guy but why would Labour protect trans people if when they fuck trans people over, they win? Even if it wasn't what CAUSED the win, it's enough to know that fucking over trans people won't cost them anything.

Looking forward to Biden dropping out/not dropping out and then the left being blamed for calling for him to drop out/not calling for him to drop out.

Complaints about how we can't afford food or housing didn't make him old!

When we criticize Biden's policies we're accused of shitting on him and costing him the election then the exact same dudes freak out about his age, which has been a known quantity the entire time!

They're the ones who told us to overlook all of Biden's flaws because we needed to be singularly focused on beating Trump!

I fundamentally do not care if you think I'm real or not. I do care about having a goddamn ID that doesn't out me to every cop. I care about being able to exist in the same way cis people do. I care about making my own choices about my body. Your validation is irrelevant to those.

They'll respond that well it's about feelings on the trans side and sure, it is but if it were ONLY that then it'd be a very different situation. Instead it's about existing in a public context, it's about bodily autonomy. It's about accurate documentation. It's about work and school.

Addressing TERF arguments is extremely frustrating because of this. She's literally just arguing that policy be based around her feelings. I don't doubt she feels threatened but that's just not enough to drive people from public life, sorry.

The TERF argument relies entirely on secret, unprovable assertions. As long as everyone else is a secret pervert, they can be discounted. They deny it? That's exactly what a secret pervert WOULD say.

Sure, but that's suggesting that policy be based on actual evidence. They want it based on vibes instead and if you point that out they accuse you of denying their lived experience even if that experience is with cis men.

Well, yeah, my REAL advice is for them to go back in time and have a real primary, but 🤷‍♀️

If we genuinely believe that she can win and her chances are better than Biden (which I think is reasonable, but I have no particular insight on it) then I'll back her.

Once you buy the idea that biology is destiny and that your worth, your morality, your place in society is immutable, then you're pretty fucked when it comes to examining and deconstructing power structures. What I'm saying is that transphobia rots brains.

Oh, good the Twin Cities Alamo Drafthouse is coming back. It was a schlep (and not as nice as the LA one, unfortunately) but man, it was a nicer theater than the others...
