Alright, Asa Mitaka. What do I make of you? "Yeah, she didn't deserve all that and it's good she got dumped back into normalcy without her groomer teacher" is surface-level good in a similar way to what it is for Denji. But interrogating deeper from there is more complicated. 🧵
Not to be THAT feminist, but I knew this was the case before opening the article. Men see fatherhood as an abstract milestone that's a proof of their virility, women see the associated costs.
Not to mention that women not being locked into domesticity is the core of the antifeminist backlash today.
kinda shit the diamond dogs got up to when your morale fell too low in mgsv
Fair enough, I haven't watched much of Um Actually, don't like the format, so that's cool and had forgotten about Estranja's appearance of the top of my head. I'm not going to engage further tho, treating the idea of a trans woman being show host or main cast as too big an ask repulses me
"Self-loathing is the narcissism of cowards" is some fucking bullshit on the level of "before anyone else will love you, you first have to love yourself"
I guess Yoko Taro could get me to watch Evangelion.
Though tbf if we're comparing specifically to other shows rather than just talking generally, then sure Dropout is probably some of the best at including trans people. Which does say alot about the overall industry tbf
Ally's presence, while obviously a good sign, isn't a guarantee sadly.They include alot of non-binary talent which is cool but besides Ally and Persephone I can't actually think of any other medically transitioning trans people they've had on their shows.Unless there's a couple of guests I've missed
Tbf Ally is very obviously not a trans woman. Granted Dropout has featured Persephone in the cast of at least one of their shows before, not sure if that was the only time they've casted a trans woman or not though
The Rookie itself was a huge win for the humanization of the US police, who are all jackbooted thugs, and anyone who was involved in this from Dropout is only letting the cops take a victory lap. Copaganda made to normalize the evils of policing to woke nerd types.
quickest thing you learn is that the "normie" does not exist everyone's just immersed in different subcultural fluids these days
The Department of Enterprise held a "closed door" and “strictly confidential” meeting with a lobbying group representing arms manufacturers like Lockheed Martin, Saab and KNDS.

"the right is horny and creepy for progressive women" has been their entire thing. from the birth of fascism to today. the way the right consumes so much porn of trans women and various queer alt women subcultures while also calling for the state to murder lesbian, bi, & trans women ...
"what can we do to indicate this woman is trans, similar to the symbolic purpose of top surgery scars" give her really long eyelashes and the beautiful eyebrows of margaret qualley or cara delevingne

My tiktok is currently full of confused mums from Belfast kicking off because they booked a concert for their kids without realising that KPop is a genre of music, and all expected an entire show of KPop Demon Hunters
I guess commissioning art of a transfem character while consulting zero of your transfem contributors can be said to be very brave.

turns out banning them for doing genocide would’ve been an act of kindness
It's worth remembering that Naomi Long told me that it was 'advice' from the MHRA that caused her to back the puberty blocker ban in the first place. That was over the prescribing environment, not the safety of the drugs.
She no longer replies to me, got too uncomfortable I think.

My new video, Notes on Vanishing, is out now.
I keep returning to an unthinkable question: is it time for trans people to make ourselves disappear?
Enjoy 🌃

Palestinians are already saying that no food or aid is allowed in & they’re terrified of yet another manufactured famine. With water being their only main resource left, they are doubling down on the genocide and taking away electricity prevents anyone from immediately reporting on what’s happening
the sole purpose of the Cass review was to justify a puberty blocker ban and subsequent trial due to "lack of good quality evidence"
Cass didn't find any harm at all. None. But you wouldnt know that reading the papers...
I honestly think people just start pretending they don't understand situational nuance when they see a victim behave in a way that can construed as undermining their testimony. It's not that hard to get why people try and placate their abuser. They just don't want to believe the abuse happened
The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."
Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

An important thing to note that I left out of this thread.
This standard applies to all sexual activity, not just penetrative sex.
That is to say - trans people would be required to disclose their sex as registered at birth before even engaging in a first kiss.
