Damn it feels good to be a gangsta. I'm hilarious. I'm awesome. I like to sing. I'm spiritual but not religious. Republicans scare me. I live for lolcats. I also like bacon. I was commited to a pysch ward once, a long time ago. Carrie Fisher is kinda my hero. But so is Carly Simon. I used to be really into musicals but I've since developed a deep hatred for musical theatre performers. But I still secretly love a good showtune. I drink your milkshake. since 1983.

“Time and time again, history shows us that caveat-laden arguments about what is or isn’t a concentration camp only occur in countries with sound political systems. When people are splitting hairs over the specific methodology and intent behind mass detention and human rights abuses, that’s when you know you’re looking at a vibrant, civilized society. It’s as true today as it was a hundred years ago. Civilizations are healthier when citizens are raising trivial objections to the use of the term ‘concentration camp’ on the grounds that their neighbor’s rendition to an oversight-free mass prison still technically exists within a legal framework, at least on paper.” Boyd went on to state that blindly insisting that anyone who wound up in a concentration camp must have done something wrong to get there has historically always been a sign of a healthy conscience.

I believe parents of unvaccinated children who die from measles should be paraded through American towns so people can throw rotten tomatoes at them. It may be medieval of me but then, so is letting your children die because you believe autism demons live in syringes.

If athletes are allowed to compete, they should also be allowed to win.
Every single time I see a story where a trans athlete "blows out" the competition, their performance usually ends up not being quite as dominent as claimed.
When you look at the fastest 400m times in high school competition, it greatly adjusts the context.

In running, a second can be an eternity. Most world records are only a few tenths of a second apart. And this trans athlete is a full 7 seconds away from a record set by a cisgender high school runner.
According to the New York Post, 7 seconds is a blowout.
College runners are getting times under 50 seconds. And the world record is 47.60—a full 10 seconds faster.
This trans athlete can't help it if she is in a league with a bunch of slowpokes. She won a race. She is pretty fast in relation to her direct competition. But she is not some spectacular speed demon who will dominate women's running.
Her time wasn't even at scholarship level.

And the second place finisher wasn't even close to a "decent" time.
