Maybe we can all make pussy hats and post our selfies on Instagram too! Because that really helped!

Now this is more realistic. Protest without action is meaningless. But people have to be willing to go to jail in order to do this effectively, and also be willing to engage in physical conflict to protect each other.

AttackChimp, do you also live in Seattle? Those pussy hats are really bringing change.

If your idea of a party is a gaggle of dried-up septuagenarians wearing stupid hats, you need help in a very serious way.

If you're kool-guying me to make a point, you can go fuck yourself.

Amen.

this is getting to be too much. no one is beating up anyone here, come on. go turn on the tyson fight.

Since nobody else has corrected you yet, there is no such thing as Asperger's Syndrome. It is an obsolete term once used for high-functioning autistic people, and it is named after a Nazi doctor who sent handicapped children to be exterminated. Asperger's and autism are not valid topics for the discussion of the political ideologies of oligarchs. Autistic children are going to suffer enough because of how these assholes will undermine our health care system.

i want to know what meds elon skipped on monday.

That's the funniest thing you've ever said. You are so fucking stupid

i don't think the voters are demanding trans genocide.

[fwiw i've never met a stupid person who thought i was smart. so you don't surprise me.]

What does "fight back" mean anyway? What does that look like?

No, I'm not doing that. I was genuinely curious. That was huge here.

Full disclosure: my mother did that pussy hat shit. To this day she's in dire need of an intervention. She actually does believe that boomers solved all the things. It's pretty fucking wild - she has equal levels of outrage and unseriousness, both off the fucking charts.

Just on the use of the word Asbergers to describe a form of ASD. Musk as self described as having Aspergers, Thiel, also self described and is quoted as saying Asbergers is a “super power” in Silicon Valley and one of the far right assholes in my life has it right there in his Instagram bio. So that’s were I’m getting the term from. If that is no longer a medical term used by non far right assholes I’m happy to be corrected.

Next post I corrected myself after reading a decent medical study the concluded functioning ASD rather than causing “asshole syndrome” primes some people for environmental factors that can lead to extreme and non normative behaviour.

Apologies for any offence.

You’re right. Most people are not oppressors of trans people in the same way they’re not oppressors of Awá people living in the eastern Amazon rainforest. A major polling firm YouGov does a biannual poll of British attitudes towards the trans people and most glaring aspect is how little most people think about this issue - almost never - and when they’re prompted in this poll are broadly tolerant and with a majority supporting many legal and medical request of trans people. It all get more fractured when you drill down into very specific issues. But the big takeaway for the UK at least is the younger you are the more supportive you are and biological women are more supportive than men.

Sci-fi is always ahead on issues like this. Veronica Cartwright‘s character in Alien is described onscreen in Aliens as previously male.

I would put money down that within ten years the US has a Republican trans congressperson that’s an absolute goblin. In the same way there are gay and minority Republicans that are absolute goblins.

I can confirm Musk was the one who used the outdated term. That's on him. It's not a slur or anything just kind of retrograde now.
