Probably, but there’s likely to be a lot of infighting about which one of them would take over.

As a nonbinary person myself I feel it’s none of my business what configuration of self another individual needs to feel “right” inside. I can also understand the impulse even from other trans people to think that one might be being disingenuous. It wasn’t that long ago that my identity was the one “making fun of trans people” for just wanting to exist in a way that makes me happy.

The problem is that even if the “most extreme” identities that bigots are using to justify their hate didn’t exist it’s not like the hate will actually stop. They’ll just start lying about the next “most fringe” identity.

You’re not wrong. The Democratic strategy for the past what? 35 years now has been to constantly engage in “hippie punching” to try to seem more reasonable to so-called “moderates” by criticizing the Far Left™. So in a sense one could say that the left has been stuck in an abusive relationship for a long time.

Yes that’s one of the actual pictures from the indictment they brought against him. He apparently had like 300 different documents of varying levels of classified status. There’s a couple more iirc of different places like a bedroom and a ballroom stage too. Basically it seems like he had his goons just hide anything he could get his hands on in random boxes of what were supposed to be just irrelevant personal effects

He was only indicted specifically for like 30 of them but my understanding is they specifically chose ones they were willing to have potentially entirely exposed.

You just know that they’ll ding anything lgbtq both way more often and for way less explicit material than anything they will for straight content.

My wife had to explain to me that a girl I went to college with was into me years after the fact. She stumbled across some pictures I had on Facebook that this girl had liked and commented on and asked me about her. At the time I didn’t think anything of it but she was interacting with old posts from long before we’d even met at school.

My wife actually facepalmed when I told her this one story in particular. I was in the Commons on campus suffering from a pretty bad migraine. I’d been there for like an hour when she came in and sat next to me and asked me what was wrong. I told her and she sat next to me petting my head until she had to leave to go to her next class.

I know when I did tennis in gym class in high school I struggled to figure out how to keep the ball in the court.

I feel like if the best reason one has for how they might be able to score a point on her is “but she could make a mistake” they’ve kind of conceded that it’s not actually possible.

Oh my God those “Greater Idaho” people are insane.

Worse than that since you can actually kill yourself by taking too much vitamin A. It’s more like trying to treat the measles by playing Russian roulette.

Pffft, you believe in the Moon?

I’ll never forget the look of sheer unmitigated horror on my brother’s face one of the first times he met my wife. We had started riffing on something I don’t for the life of me remember what and he hits the thousand yard stare after a minute or two and just says “Oh my God, there’s two of them… And they make each other worse.”

I about died laughing just now. I’m nonbinary but I was curious about what was actually on the page so I clicked the button. My internet is shit sometimes because Spectrum fucking sucks and it chose that moment to drop connection for a second and the page didn’t load.

The one that got me when I was still undiagnosed still infuriates me to this day.

You just need to apply yourself more.

I tried that and went from a 90 average slacking off to a 92 burning myself out “applying myself” in place of any activity that brought me joy.

Nah, if he was there’s not a chance in hell Trump wouldn’t have personally said so to any camera he could get his face in front of.

Don’t know how to tell you this, but I think that means your boyfriend is actually a woman. I don’t make the rules, sorry.

I joke. In all seriousness though, you can be straight and have a dynamic that’s more typically seen in Yuri manga. My partner and I joke all the time that we’re so straight it looped all the way back around to being gay again. We’re technically “straight” too, but I’m asexual and nonbinary, while she’s gay as the day is long. I can’t tell you how many Yuri memes I’ve sent her with the caption “look, it us” because it’s absolutely something one of us would have done.

More that they have no idea what they entail. Most people hear “gender affirming care for minors” and think it means HRT and surgery. They think that kids are too young to be making those kinds of permanent changes to their bodies.

As for the sports bans, most people “know” that whole bit about men being generally stronger than women. So it inherently feels unfair to them to let trans girls participate in sports with cis girls. They don’t know that virtually everywhere it was ever allowed they already had guidelines in place to mitigate exactly what they feared.

The right weaponizes both of these misunderstandings to make bans seem like common sense protecting children. But these people don’t ideologically hate trans people like the right does.

That’s my point though. None of the people who keep commenting these things seem to give any thought to the possibility that the person saying they’re scared might not be able to actively resist. It never seems to be “if you’re able, you could try A, B, C. If not, then X, Y, Z, might help you stay safe.” It always seems to come off as them saying “Oh, you’re scared? Fight back then lol.”

What part of I care for multiple disabled family members and live in poverty did you miss? Yeah I can totally afford the financial upheaval of a strike or to get arrested or injured protesting. I’m sure my spouse can handle things without me.

I just hope the pseudotumor doesn’t act up and cause her to have a seizure at an unfortunate time. Or maybe it’ll be one of the ones where she temporarily loses a random chunk of her life and she won’t remember who they are or why she’s there that’d be fun.

Thank you. It gets so tiring seeing these people constantly shouting “WhY ARen’t YOu FIGhtinG bAck?” Whenever someone expresses fear about what’s been happening. Oh I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m a little preoccupied wondering how my family and I are going to fucking survive the next four years in the first place.

My wife’s disabled, we’ve got multiple autistic kids, my health isn’t the greatest, I’m trans but luckily I can still play cis. We can only afford to live because my wife gets Social Security Disability, and we have Medicaid and SNAP. All things they’re certainly going to be targeting. Yeah we’ll likely be shielded from some of the worst of this living in a blue state but I’m not sure how much even that’s going to protect us anymore.
