It just struck me that she doesn’t require an adolescent to do her own grooming, but she does object to her foster son talking to her about his problems.
@KevinaFaga
Seattle University, which is also Catholic, does this as a matter of policy. When students are asked what kind of room assignment they want, trans students can choose if they want a trans roommate, but non-trans students don't get that luxury.

Regarding the TQ, compelled speech validating a fiction is a powerful way to distinguish between elites and non-elites. And compelled speech, in itself, denies fundamental human rights.

@wesyang
The latter is how this started. The former is where we are. The former is what they always wanted. The only way this stops is a total rejection of both.
@KevinaFaga
It should be, but, IIRC, this is policy set by the Biden administration: Let trans students choose which accommodations they want, and, in order to avoid "othering" them, don't allow that for anyone else.
@LottieHistory
Trans-identified kids often require that of their parents as well. The standard should be: if you’re too much of a coward to tell people on your own, you’re too immature to adopt a neo-identity.
@MollyCritical
I'm worried about the toddler. Child proofing is all well and good, but there are still things they can get into, and dad sleeping all day is a recipe for disaster.
@FeministRoar
I have gone to protests, enough times to know that most protesters loathe "black bloc". They'll turn any peaceful protest into a riot and get innocent protesters hurt.

Wiping your Twitter of any hint of promoting a narcissistic misogynist for Women's History Month is insufficient by the way. How about an apology and a promise to do better?
@wesyang
Paraphilias tend to cluster, and there are some that, if acted upon, are illegal. It's a mistake to assume someone flaunting some of their fetishes is hiding none.
@belivetsgloves
Apparently there's no chance of a link between being the type of person who flashes young children and not being able to hold down a job or housing.

Let's say there are 20 female cyclists, give 10 the new location. If the unwanted cyclists show up, you know she's among that 10. If they don't show, you know she's in the other 10. Keep doing this until there's one left standing. Hopefully you don't have more than one mole.
@bookishbabe11
@hpybny
You definitely have a mole. I don't know the feasibility, but you could try rooting her out by cutting the group in half over and over until the unwanted cyclists stop showing up.

Seems like that's self-ID in everything but name since I assume it would then be a hate crime to deny access to a wrong-sex space.

I’m not getting that this is a child transitioner. More likely, this person was abused as a child (probably sexually) and that informed the desire to transition. Many such cases.
@wil_da_beast630
It seems like a self-own since they're implying that the left has never accomplished anything while arguing for keeping the left in power.

Kwanzaa was invented two years after Harris was born. It’s possible they celebrated it, but it wasn’t a multigenerational family tradition. That part of the story leads me to believe she’s lying about all of it.
@RealityEnthusi2
JLC promoting Ruby publicly is a mistake, but I think she's trying to steer her kid through the transition and fetishism with the hope that Ruby will come out the other end normal-ish. JLC, being a Boomer, likely has no idea how much worse things can get.

When I was growing up, girls who would be mean to a girl suffering from something like this were extreme outliers. It was much more common among the boys.

I’ve worked in medical clinics, and, while I’ve never been a patient at a hospital, I’ve had to don a medical gown many times. They’re all blue or gray. I’ve never seen a pink one.

The media's not doing them any favors though.
I interact with them fairly frequently. Even in neutral situations, there's something very offputting and awkward about interacting with them, and I know what's expected of me in terms of not rocking the boat. Normies are screwed.
@RonniNicole1
Isn't that the Mail's thing, though?
I know they've done this to Madonna, talking about her being a "stunner" while posting photos of her looking like something the cat dragged in.

Hollywood is still loath to show the public what most trans people look and act like. The closest was Transparent, and no one watched it.
@TransHomophobes
Is this actually about the straight men who hit them up on Grindr? Because I find it hard to believe that gay men, of all people, have those kinds of hygiene issues.

If that’s the case, the trans community should have no trouble disavowing this and campaigning to get the teacher fired. And yet they’re mostly ignoring this person or making excuses.
@river_is_nice
It didn't necessarily have to be that way. Some large cities have worse vagrancy problems than others, and many of the worst ones have adopted policies to make it as comfortable as possible to be a vagrant.
@Johnmcurtis
No one can win with these people. If organizations fail to use their non-legal names, they throw a fit. If organizations accommodate their non-legal names, they throw a fit.

@fem_mb
Now that you've mentioned it, I can't find a photo of Christopher with Ruby since Ruby transitioned. Since he and Curtis are still together, I doubt he's expressed strong disagreement; maybe he's settled on staying out of the whole thing.

So you can't tell the difference between a private school parents can opt into vs. public schools that are the only option for parents who can't homeschool?

In case you bitch about the Post Millennial:
@Theo_TJ_Jordan
I think the better term for this is “male supremacy”. “Patriarchy”, since it derives from the Latin word for “father”, implies some level of protection for girls/women.
@SwannMarcus89
They brought the “journalist” (who instructed the killers to hide evidence) in for questioning but that went nowhere. It feels like SPD doesn’t want to solve the case.
@BodyFarmtoTable
@wesyang
It’s representative of the fear mongering they spread in their own community and the violent rhetoric they refuse to back down from.
@houellebecq_2
It's like how they tell everyone to go to therapy, but the only thing truly abusive people get out of therapy is how to use psychiatric language to excuse their own actions and make everyone else out to be the villain.

I don't think it's performative masculinity. There are also photos of Elliot grinning, but the eyes look to be on the verge of tears.

The movie Jeffrey, which came out in ‘95, had a trans “lesbian” character at NYC Pride.
That said, the predominantly gay audience at the screening I attended laughed hysterically at that scene.
@Woke_Misogyny
Page did wear suits pre-transition, although not with such a comically large bowtie. Is that the difference between men and women? Bowtie size?
@femalemagic
Something that I agree with TRAs about is, if one accepts trans identity as legitimate in any way, then one must accept all those who identify that way. To do otherwise is to divide the "real" and "fake" ones according to whether they're good or bad.
@LabelFreeBrands
Being the one left out is an authentic experience for women, which shows that many trans-identified people don't actually want to be treated according to their cross-sex identity. They want all the perks of their bio sex and all the perks of their identities with no downsides.

The no jury element fascinates me. Does the defense fear that Portlandians are fed up with this brand of thuggish behavior?

It might be “nice” to lie to delusional people (they like it in the moment) but it’s not kind (reality inevitably pulls the mask off, and they need to learn to deal with that).

I'm such a Semitophile, people often assume I'm Jewish, but I still find calls for that level of censorship insufferable and counterproductive.
