Misusing the universal medical symbol, on the other hand, is EXTREMELY CLEAR CUT. If you play video games, you may have noticed that health stuff is never marked with the red cross symbol! Why not? Because EVEN USING IT IN A VIDEO GAME IS AGAINST THE GENEVA PROTOCOLS.

If people can't trust that a truck marked with that symbol is transporting medics and not soldiers, it's going to get blown up. If people can't trust that a tent marked with that symbol has doctors in it, they won't go for help, and they'll die of disease or injury.

@moholier @p1nt1nh0 @rhymewithrachel @Greg_Sideyr Like, as with all Nature, you should be cautious and don't do anything stupid like try to boop him on the nose or anything? But wolves are pretty smart and mostly pretty chill, they just have a really terrible reputation from too many fairytales.

I'm also a fan of many Important SFF Authors For Grownups! (And Non-SFF Authors For Grownups, even!) Samuel R. Delany, who writes intensely complex, layered books, is an all-time favorite. Umberto Eco! James Tiptree, Jr.! Etc!

ROGD, as a diagnosis, is literally a pseudoscientific justification for child abuse. That's the whole point.

Notice how Quillette writer just happily extended the pseudoscience of "rapid onset gender dysphoria" beyond all reason - now, even cis girls can be asymptomatic carriers and infect your poor child with transness:

This is what "return to normal" people are like. They want YOU to risk YOUR life and health to fill up bars and restaurants so that THEY don't feel like everything is "sinister".

After work, everything is weird. Bars and restaurants are ghost towns, where they are open. Lots are gone forever. Everything feels sinister in a downtown where there aren't enough people. Cumulatively, this means things don't just not feel normal - they feel VERY BAD. 7/

Also to be completely clear: LAURELAI BAILEY IS A SERIAL RAPIST AND ABUSER OF TRANS WOMEN, this is not KF bullshit, it is not "two women who are both lying", i personally know at least three victims who have never gone public with their accusations.

@jackquick7 @socialistdogmom Have you heard of Kent State? Or the entire history of the labor movement, for that matter? The National Guard is ALWAYS happy to shoot at Americans.

Caitlyn Jenner is a horrible human being but if i see you deadname or misgender her -- or ANY OTHER trans person, however vile -- i will land on you with BOTH FEET. Around here we do NOT treat people's identities as a courtesy we are allowed to withhold.

@SamScoopCooper @TanaHargest I mean, that's more or less what most charter schools are for, although this one was apparently more blatant about it than many.

It's not just immigration, either. In many, many legal systems, the entire CONCEPT of "what is a legal marriage" is premised on people who fuck each other, or at least intend to fuck each other. If you don't fuck? Your marriage can be declared invalid!
