To TERFs, Intersex people are always male.
If you AFAB and have a vagina, but xy chromosomes and internal testicles, your a man.
If you are AMAB have a penis, but also ovaries, xx chromosomes, still a man.
Doesn't matter. Their "biological" definition changes as needed.

Look, normally I don't give advice to bigots but... Using the dude who turned in other queers and thought he had a position of privilege when the Nazis only to be executed by his comrades for being gay actually works against your point.
@TransSalamander
Ugh its like... "We are talking about a hot button issue which makes us relevant and topical" but also "We don't have anything to say about it but that doesn't matter, because it's edgy!"

I mean I expect that you would understand the causal relationship between the new laws that make it near impossible to get a specialist, but who cares about causality?
This is why I am so hostile to the Snyderverse. They don't want to see the Snyderverse back, they want all other movies to fail. This is why the review bomb and harass other directors.
Also they mislead people. 22m was Creed III's opening. Like, its first day.
@AlyssaEveryHour
Suicide in this manner leaves more physical signs. They won't even give the toxicology details. Meanwhile there should have ben a whole host of physical signs all day.
It's not a quiet, pleasant way to go. He would not have died in this manner.
@thesolarcoffee
I don't really want to defend the MCU but I feel like this joke has come up plenty of times in different iterations well before Sam Raimi.
Though JK Simmons has the perfect delivery.
@pozmyneghole1
This is a joke, right?
1. The MPAA ratings are not federal law, just industry self regulation.
2. There is no official "one fuck limit' on PG-13 movies, it's a rule of thumb writers use while writing scripts.
3. James Gunn had fuck all to do with this film.
Doug Walker has done so much harm to Film Criticism and Media Literacy. Also actual human beings. He was also an arrogant fuck nugget when he came into my work.
The rehabilitation of Doug walker (a talentless hack who exploited his employees and protected sexual abusers) and the vilification of Linkara as cringe (a genuinely talented guy who has always stood with marginalized people) will always upset me
Trans Protesters with signs asking that TERFs be beheaded sound horrible until you realize that TERFs right now are unironically quoting Adolf fucking Hitler.

You really only hear this idiocy being repeated by 30 something man babies.
You go to the kids these characters were written for and they know damn well Miles Morales is Spider-Man.

"It's a cop out that the writers didn't write it the way I think it should be written."
No maybe they just had a different idea than you altogether.
@MySonHunter
Its great when you have a reactionary audience that will support you regardless of quality. As long as you say what they want to hear, you don't even have to worry about pesky things like performance, staging, cinematography, sound design, or anything else this movie half assed.
@probaconspiracy
@JoeyMannarinoUS
I mean, it would be super based if she did what you claimed but like.... She didn't.
She said "This information is being spread and its not true because the logistics don't add up" which is something that plenty of other people also pointed out about various misinfo campaigns.
The backlash against Turning Red is transparently misogynistic and racist.
There is nothing inherently political about the film but the idea that a girl having her own life and interests and likes her body, however, is very subversive in a world that commodities women's bodies.

@AriDrennen
Did my own research because the source on this information wasn't posted, but the graph was created by an Anti Trans activist, not a doctor. So the categorizations come from an anti trans activist NOT A DOCTOR.
@doctorbaixue
I mean I do get nervous about normalizing abuse in media, but that's also why "dark romance" tends to be written for adults anyway? Folks who can make their own damn decisions?
Besides, the shit conservatives push as "Healthy Relationships" is far more dangeorus.
People are fucking fancamming Johnny Depp making witty remarks in court and not realizing that he's actually dodging questions.
This trial is so fucked.
You know, I hope allegations against Bill Murray aren't true, but remember how many of his "comedies" are about him being a creepy sex pest whose refusal to accept "no" is supposed to be endearing.
@ChrisJHLambert
@RealAlexMouse
Fucked up that people live and die by the rules as written in books on screenwriting that they will call anything that doesn't follow those rules bad writing whether it actually does or not.
@Aliceinwunderl3
Trans people will be disturbed by it, but not shocked.
Cis people will hopefully be shocked.
Because fuck we've been telling Cis People it's this bad for years and they've been shrugging it off as being over dramatic.
@TheBajaBust
@EoinHiggins_
The context being that people worry more about the words than the intent, which is different than just "Haha racial slur, homophobic remark, ect"
Whether you agree with his stance or not you have to acknowledge a key difference between this and punching down.
@RahulKohli13
I missed out on working Man of Steel, but all my friends who worked on the film have stories about hanging out with Henry Cavill and being huge nerds with him.
Sadly all my PA work has been second unit so i never really met anyone.
@estrowrite
@faceyouhate
Context is important for this one.
He bought a bulk set of vintage "muscle" magazines. There was no particular indicator of the age of the models, and while some were nude they were not pornographic. After it was discovered he cooperated with the investigation fully.
TERFs will just ask Trans People to be held responsible for every bad thing a trans person does while totally allowing people to quote Adolf Fucking Hitler at their rallies.
@HistoryMuppet
@alicecooper
Not only did they book Alice Cooper, they didn't go the obvious route of "He's actually a nice guy." No, he spends the entire episode trying to get the Muppets to sell their souls.
George Carlin would start a rant about cancel culture where he makes fun of people being too sensitive, but would turn it on its head and go after the bigots that they are reacting to with far more venom.
@jessiegender
Watching South Park in 2022 is like hanging out with a friend from college after 20 years and going "Wow, you are the exact same person you were then and the things that made you cool and funny now just make you seem kinda sad."
@FurFest
Think of how many transgender guests you have, and then how he destroyed the life of a transgirl at UWM by outting her and putting her in everyone's crosshairs.
We cannot have that there.
@EveHarmsWrites
I mean, it could easily mean multiple things. Or, in true Cronenberg fashion, he recognizes that there is applicable subtext that people latch on to and is more than willing to discuss that (as he did when people found AIDs parallels in "The Fly").
Me watching Captain Planet
At Seven: Nobody REALLY just wants to pollute the Earth because they are evil and they like polluting.
At 36: Wow it really do be like that sometimes.
@morenol_1990
@CosmonautMarcus
That's the intent, but like Pa Kent just stands still unaffected by the Tornado until it makes physical contact, making it hard for me to accept that Clark couldn't just walk up to him, grab him, and pretend to struggle a little bit.
Because that's how the scene is staged.
@judysquirrels
There is PLENTY of misogyny in Hollywood and in the Oscars, but Barbie getting nominated for most things instead of everything is not an example of that...
@Joe_Brennan_
The mystery in Glass Onion is there to illustrate the central themes of the film itself. The solution isn't elusive. It's not supposed to be. It's a movie that asks us to question whether or not we should idolize wealthy "genius" entrepaneurs.
@_celia_bedelia_
I mean listen if I ever end up in a women's bathroom while this is happening I'm definitely going to do whatever I can to help but until that happens I'm just going to go there and pee.

@BrendanDeneen
Mass destruction is something they try to contain when they can and when they don't it's a big deal.
Snyder films are inconsistent on the killing issue and seem to treat mass violence as an acceptable.
I'm not an MCU fan but they did this well.
@filsdepoyst
@_celia_bedelia_
I mean it makes sense... For all the good the suffragettes did (and they did a lot of good) many of them were well-off women who opposed Universal Suffrage. The distinction essentially meant they only wanted a slim minority of women to vote.
Like your literally quoting Mein Kempf and using Hitler to back up your claims, you do not have the moral high ground here. Once you've decided you are on the side of Hitler, you NEVER have the moral high ground again.
@chasrmartin
@lastpositivist
I mean, to be fair, while the book is clearly anti racist there is a lot stereotyping that isn't really okay.
But like... Its a near 150 year old book. Of course some elements aren't going to age well. In its day it was extremely forward thinking and we should celebrate that.
@Gingerhazing
Watching She-Ra while transitioning has helped me define myself as a woman. I'm sad to see it go, but excited to see how it ends.
I also got a She-Ra tattoo, to celebrate one year out of the closet!
@cisfobe
Well, every single doctor and psychologist who has studied this has concluded "Yes, without a doubt, it is abuse and leads to severe developmental problems."
But I'm told that its not abuse by people who say "My parents spanked me and I turned out okay." So idk....
My best friend Crysal died by suicide growing up. Her parents were embarassed and ashamed of her attempts, and urged her to keep quiet. She didn't get the medical help she needed.
If she was empowered to make her own medical decisions, that could have saved her life.
My 12 year old son received this letter from our GP practice this morning.
Is there anyone else out there who’s 12 year old received anything like this before their 13th birthday?
I’m shocked. This is so sinister.

So many people will defend the church because they've never seen beyond their corner of it.
I have no hostility to Progressive Catholicism. But the Church as an institution has done nothing to combat abuse.
@IndieWire
Curtis isn't some talentless Max Landis type who only got there because of Daddy. Sure her parentage got her in the door but she's constantly proved her talent.
Tbh I think she's taking something that really isn't about her very personally.
@GailSimone
It's brilliant. Probably one of the greatest movies of the last 20 years and I am not being Ironic.
Sure the characters are flat and the story isn't that great, but as far as telling a story visually, it's light years beyond anything anyone else is doing.
@DisneyTVANews
So the company responsible for changing copyright laws to maintain an stranglehold on numerous intellectual properties is making a film for kids that's essentially propaganda about enforcing Copyright protections, even ones that are far overreaching.
@DreamLeaf5
I love that TERFs think they are suffragettes because they embody the worst of the Suffragette movement- Well off, mostly white women who believe they have the right to speak over and for poor women and women of color.
