Tweeting politics, science and fluffy animals. Not cis. I have not spent decades being oppressed by gender stereotypes to be told it was a privilege. πŸ’œπŸ€πŸ’š

John Simpson What do you think JK Rowling has experienced on here? And many other women besides.
So frustrating that men just glide through not noticing the hate towards women, the rape threats and the insults, as if it's nothing.

WHY do people think Elon Musk is a god? Some think he's a benevolent god, some think he's an evil god. He's just a guy who's a bit in over his head, and sometimes an asshole. So - human. Twatty human, but just human. Stop building gods.

If nothing else Mastodon is introducing people into the whole Open Source tradition of trying to be enthusiastic about something really bad that doesn't work at all because you don't want to be rude to the maintainers and the thing you really want to use doesn't work anymore.

Man: I'm wearing a dress
Women: that's nice, good for you
Man, 30 years later: also, I'm going to switch into girl mode and use all your stuff whenever I feel like it
Women: that's a bit offensive
Man: I can't believe you won't let me wear my dress

Y'know, the unreasonable right have flounced off to Parler. If the unreasonable left flounce off to Mastodon, this place might be useable again. 😁

There is, of course, a third option, which is that the scientists and leaders whose advice could lead to or prevent literally millions of deaths felt more pressure to take preventive actions than Joe Bloggs who didn't have any similar weight on his conscience.

I mean, also, those celebs are doing that to maintain their own following and brand, and this platform costs a lot to run.

Have been thinking about this all day. It’s incredible how many people who would ordinarily be up in arms about a white male weaponising racism to put a woman of colour in her supposed place are willing to stay silent because the perpetrator identifies as female.

Threat experts say that men have no appreciation of the threats women face every day from men. Women’s personal risk assessments are informed by experience, as are men’s. But they are very different. It may be unfortunate, but any man may be perceived as threatening 1/2

I Go Down To The Shore

I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall...
what should I do? And the sea says
in it's lovely voice:

Excuse me, I have work to do.

Mary Oliver

One man’s opinion MathGeΒ²k Susanna Rustin Helen Joyce Except in exactly the same cohorts where PB's aren't available for whatever reason, desistance is somewhere between 65-90%.
Which clearly shows that the act of giving PB's 'locks in' the patient's dysphoria - to which puberty is most often the cure.

And the TRAs WANT that lock.

Pointless to engage w/Caraballo and her followers, but this is just dishonest

1) activists claim, for years, that 'no one,' or hardly anyone, is getting top surgery under 18, which has been false forever

2) NYT points out that this is false

3) Caraballo: NO ONE IS SAYING THAT

Every time in my life that I've thought 'Maybe I *am* a radical feminist', I come across a group of radical feminists saying truly hateful stuff and think 'No, I don't want to be part of that'. This is the latest iteration.
