Yeah. Because Bostock was the last good thing that will happen at the Court for decades, there was some nice hope about it actually being broadly useful (e.g. lower courts extending its reading of “sex” to other statutes). And now—well, lower courts still can, but agencies can’t (effectively).

Yeah. Which so familiar by now, but delving into what happens if you try to be over-the-top masculine without understanding anything is pretty amusing

I just stumbled in this one too (not knowing anything about the show), it’s a nice expansion of the more usual “why conservative comedy is disastrously unfunny” explanations.

Complicated question for me normally, but in my casual Double explorations, turning is part of the fun. In fact, playing something easy enough to just do all the turns is part of it. The problem is the pad awareness for that playing on SMX though

It is very toxic how terfs exploit the concept of “detransition” to try to undermine both trans and cis peoples’ exploration of gender. The entire concept tacitly assumes that something bad happened if you tried something and then tried/concluded something different.

I’m just way worse at learning/timing doubles—I don’t have a good way to practice it due to flush pads and not having a comfortable bar setup

For me (wasn’t super aware of problems when younger), a big part of transitioning was more political awareness than personal: oh, this is what gender actually is and these are the things you can do if you want to

Also I think a pretty _regular_ part of any gender awakening is finding that desire to express yourself for the first time, because it’s precisely when you start finding things to express

I wish the transphobes would understand one thing: I am doing this on purpose. I am doing this to harm you. I am doing this to destroy your way of life and everything you hold dear. Your children will be transsexuals. We will bury you.

If you’re doing stuff that is probably inadvisable for safety reasons in the first place, and the very least needs a really full handling of consent/limits/safety etc., texts of the “I like you a lot” ilk just don’t evidence that anything like the necessary discussion took place.

Not only…yes, this, but also the extremeness and intensity of some of the behavior described undermines the supposed consent framing. Even if someone reads the messages totally naively as describing a consensual relationship, it’s not consent _for this_.

And also, until I saw comments like this, I didn’t put together the whole situation that the story came out via bad podcast framing and that’s why the narrative is such a mess. I guess I default assumed that the podcast that broke it would be supportive (why 🤷🏽‍♀️).

Thanks for this. I was finding it surprisingly confusing to make sense of the commentary, and even when I saw people like you saying how damning the podcast content is, the fact that was it was so hard to find the facts made it hard to grasp until I could read it.

The first time I read this I assumed it was the same cashier—and I feel like, someone could write some fun stories that start that way—but it’s kind of better knowing she could tell just by looking at you

And in some ways this case requires you to engage in an odd, unfamiliar act of imagination: what _could_ someone do if they were unconstrained by the criminal law? That's sort of unsettling even if the person isn't the President! Criminal laws limiting behavior is quite baked into our thinking.

So you and your opponent add extra 2-letter words (agreed before game starts) to make overlaps easier?

I don’t want to rule out that story decisions might cut off some avenues. Well I mean obviously I suppose (you’re probably not romancing Tammy this run), but you know what I mean. I don’t know all the ins and outs, but probably you’re just boosting friendship with your favorites for now.

Might not remember fully, but might not be true. I don’t think any “romantic” stories advance in any meaningful way before you’re 17. IIRC, before that, you’re farming/advancing/unblocking friendships with everyone

“Not worth it” is kind of—well is literally—a value judgment. If you think Tangent is well-written so far and that’s who you want to see more of, then there’s really no other way you could have decided. (I think Tangent is pretty well written!)

Ep and Ie look questionable. Qis definitely good because Qi is so important. Beyond that no guesses since I don’t really play
