  The forced integration of AI into our lives is a massive knowledge transfer away from the "lower" classes. The right wing has spent 30+ years railing against our modern education system. The US South has been a testing ground for this, as they've moved more toward religious beliefs and away from modern education. Now we see AI companies buying and burning books, destroying search engines, forcing their way into our education systems while other core courses are cut, offering ea...

  There's a girl I'm acquainted with through online spaces. She's very nice. She's also trans and on the clocky end of the spectrum. From a distance, you'd probably not notice she's trans. But if you're closer to her, you almost definitely would. She also has a very deep voice. She's often surprised that she gets clocked. And she says she "doesn't know why it happens." And I'm not gonna be the one to tell her that she is, in fact, clocky. That&...

  "Hey, copilot. I haven't read the novel for tonight's book club. Please summarize it." Fuck. You. I'm actually in a book club. I read the book each month. And if I don't read it? I don't go. Reading the book is *the point.* If you show up and start spouting the opinions of AI slop, I'm going to be pissed. Why are you even here? You didn't read the book! You know nothing about it! And no, that LLM summary doesn't solve that! The nuances matter! (Yes...

  "Are the straights ok?" Honestly, god, not really. Ever notice how open and comfortable queer people are with complex conversations? And how we're ready for forming intimate connections with friends and mostly unconcerned with being judged by others? And our ability to talk about our bodies, our ailments, our struggles, and our lives? Have you tried talking with cishet people about this stuff lately? How many of them genuinely seem to gloss over or struggle in this situations?...

  Forever feeling guilty for every time I clock a trans person in the wild.

  @Mwritter@universeodon.com @RickiTarr@beige.party They're already actively ignoring trans discrimination cases. The DoJ has refused to investigate blatant workplace discrimination and public violence against trans people for the last 1.5 years.

  Replying to a mod with a bunch of Transmed beliefs as your first comment on a subreddit is a wild pull.

  Oh my God. My partner's dad is dating this woman...who is just the worst. We're sharing a hotel room for a short vaca and last night she woke up in the middle of the night and just starts...talking to her dad full volume. No attempt to whisper, while we're sleeping. Then she goes to the bathroom, turns on the light in there, comes out and just leaves the light on. And it is a BRIGHT light. She has made numerous racist comments. (Weird how she has a problem with every...

  I went to dinner at a local restaurant that had really good reviews. My partner and I had a horrible experience. The service was bad. The food was mid. The ambience was uninspired. But we can't find any bad reviews. And ERIC RIPERT JUST WENT AND SAID IT WAS GOOD! What kind of drugs are they putting in everyone else's food that they didn't put in ours???

  "purity culture" and "puritan" are divisive terms that are being used to persecute feminists currently. I need y'all to see it and recognize it. The terms are being used to damage feminist movements, and it's working, because you can't call out the male gaze anymore without being told you're a "puritan." And it's far, far more insidious than that. But we're gonna start there for today.

  Ok, this is leaving me kinda reeling. This trans girl, who I've seen around (online) but not in like 1-2 years, makes a post with a LinkedIn-style headshot. She goes on a whole diatribe about how she knows *exactly* why were "losing the battle for trans rights." And she ties it back to her own success and how there isn't enough good representation of trans women. (Yes, women, not men or NB's apparently) She then mentions how her bf has said the same thing, how she's...

  The fact that advocating for trans people makes people question whether you're trans is a *fucking problem.*

  When people around you drift away during your transition, or just act completely transphobic and/or cut you off, it's actually a blessing. It's an opportunity to look at those people and ask yourself "what red flags have I been ignoring?" There is not a single person I lost in my transition that I'm not better off without. They were all flawed, broken people who brought toxicity into my life. And now I'm surrounded by good people who want me i...

  Transphobes think that if they take away our hormones and surgeries, trans people will stop existing. They are in for a hell of a surprise.

  I found this meme on my phone from Jan 2020. I came out as trans in May 2022. All I'm saying is, there were signs.

  RE: https://tech.lgbt/@CordiallyChloe/116456252465119547 This is actually how all parts of transition need to be treated. "Why can't you just be a feminine man?" Would you ask a cis woman that? "Can't you just use the men's bathroom?" Would you ask a cis woman that? "Why's it matter what pronouns we use?" Would you call a cis woman he/him? You NEED to look at a trans person as our actual gender *FIRST* an...

  I really, really need people to understand some things in the fight for feminism, queer rights, and equality: 1) The patriarchy is the problem. If you are upset about this statement, you need to self-reflect and read up on some progressive lit to internalize what this means and what the patriarchy actually is. 2) "MRA" branding is patriarchal alignment. It's a movement that is inherently anti-feminist and aligns with things like the man-o-sphere. You cannot be an MRA...

  @benjamineskola@hachyderm.io @osma@mas.to @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk To be clear, while this article is focused on teen girls, this is the stuff every minority sees on social media as well. I'm trans. I have to actually relegate myself to only small corners of the internet because everywhere else feels so unsafe. Meta no longer considers slurs and harassment of trans people as "against their policies." So any Meta platform is insufferable for me now. Twitter actually enc...

  If the federal government can say "we don't believe in a certain medical treatment, so we're pulling funding from all hospitals that provide that treatment" And nobody stops them How long until they do it for vaccines? Y'all think trans people are the only ones losing our care. We're not. We're just one of the earlier dominos to pave the road for the rest of y'all.
