the problem with not voting in order to send the message that you hate all the candidates and the entire system and therefore refuse to participate is that it's completely indistinguishable, as a signal, from not bothering to vote because you think the system is great and all the candidates are great and you'd be fine with any of them. so you might want to rethink the strategy there

I'm curious what other trans people think of de-transitioners (specifically those who discovered they weren't actually trans)

I personally think that if you thought you were transgender and then discovered you weren't, then that's ok because you still discovered yourself.

Just please don't be like "trans people are evil, fuck trans people."

Quote of the Day

While I do not approve of the genocide Israel is causing in any capacity, I do not think that Jewish people should be murdered or hated either just because the Israeli government is being horrible.

I also would not approve of Palestine suddenly bombing Israel citizens like Palestine is experiencing now.

I'm on the side of "murdering people who are being themselves and not hurting anybody is barbaric".

I wouldn't be surprised if most of this is caused by the invention of the Internet. With so much information at someone's fingertips (literally), it's easier for people to get educated, even if they had a shitty school education.

Educated voters tend to not vote right-wing, which threatens the foundation of Republican political strategy to rely on the poorly educated.

So their recent strategy has been one of desperate finger pointing and blaming a minority group (transgender people) for the decline of America, and at the same time making the country decline by taking away rights of women/those assigned female at birth, children, transgender individuals, and attempting to stifle the education of the next generation through CRT banning and book banning.

The myth of white superiority is a right wing house of cards.

i am begging all of the 20something usamericans on this website to understand that “disillusioned with us politics” is a constant state of affairs. you still have to vote. you still have to keep the needle as far left as you can. there is literally no other option and every election has echoes of consequence. please please please just fucking vote

Flashing your gun at students in the State House is the GOP brand of masculinity that enables and champions child abuse.

Jim Lucas is a lowlife. #RepublicanValues

When public services are affordable and convenient, people will always choose those resources. They are not supposed to be a capitalistic profit-seeking initiative, they are developed for the benefit of the people, for a better life, just as government resources should be used. (tweet)

100,000 is ~4.54% of 2,200,000.

Assuming that is information is correct that would mean that would mean that in four months almost 5% of the population or ONE in TWENTY-TWO people have been killed, maimed, or are missing.

it is vile that the same people who would say that perisex trans people, (trans ADULTS mind you, with a very slim minority being 16 or 17) shouldn't have gender affirming surgery, but then would be ok with literally mutilating and traumatizing an intersex child so they fit into their neat little gender boxes and they don't have to acknowledge there's more than just XX and XY for sexes because they want to erase the others to the best of their ability

ffs people should just leave intersex babies alone if there's no legitimate health concerns (ex. trouble peeing) and let them choose the puberty they want

and obviously the health concerns shouldn't be an excuse to just unnecessarily remove healthy genitals

I literally had my pussy sewn shut I deserve k cup tits as compensation

can't help but think about the trans palestinians who are excluded by the constant use of phrases like "men and women" and "boys and girls." so here's to remembering them. to every palestinian with neglected gynecological issues who isn't a woman or girl. to every nonbinary person who's fallen. to everyone who's lost access to their hormones, who wasn't able to get their gender affirming surgeries - intersex palestinians, too. to every unidentified trans person and every trans person who never got to be their true selves. to all of them, the martyred, and those still struggling just to survive. free palestine - trans and intersex palestinians included.

I know the US government acts like a corporation but it’s not.

Not voting isn’t the same as a boycott. Because you can’t bankrupt a government by not voting. All you get by not voting is less control over what the money is doing.

The money comes from taxes, not voting. Abstaining from voting does nothing to reduce the governments ability to get money and spend it on shit.

So yes, sometimes you vote to reduce harm because not voting WILL NOT REDUCE HARM.

It’s not a boycot. Abstaining doesn’t take power from the government. It just reduces the number of people they feel answerable to.

Solar energy has so many benefits. Raising salaries for teachers is such a needed narrative.
