Yeah but [wall of text]

it also gets used to sweep normal people into all

Trans people are "normal people."

but it isn’t because they all personally hate queer people

Oh, but they do. They do. From the death threats to the "oh no I kissed a trans person gag sounds" "joke" to the existence of the Trans Panic defense. The ones who use us are also deadly serious with hate.

Look, I get it, your heart is in the right place. But when a minority tells you, straight out, "hey, this is not okay," pay attention, and put those hand-wavy digits in your pockets for a while.

Then let's all go fight fascism.

Don't you dare minimize this. It's not a "little culture war," it's deliberate cruelty to a people that neo-nazis and Cristian-nationalists see as subhuman. It's evil and intentional.

Notably absent: ending gender transition care for all ages and erasing transgender people from existence under the law.

Public safety needs to be weighed against civil rights

Oooo a tankie!

. I don’t think women should be drugged because of a extreme fundamentalist a paranoid interpretation of privacy rights.

Oooo a straw man reducto ad absurdum argument!

If you have nothing to fear, etc etc...

You could also prevent a hostile employer from seeing you out with your same-sex partner by pretending you don't have one.

Or, keep your honey from finding out about your side piece by putting a mask on their head...

Tell me more about Victoria and her forrests...

So much this. No freaking way I'm making my equipment discoverable in a lawsuit. If they want to contact me after hours they need to give me a phone.

Oh I'm just here to have fun! But hey, of you want to grump around that's your rainy day not mine! 😘

Out of the laundry and off the pedestal!

The title is the post.

Really, you need to know: The Great Race is better on pretty much every dimension than Aeroplane -- comedic timing, joke density, meme-ability, sound track, cringe-resistance... It's just, better.

 

Re-creating this thread a different server.

edit: "not work" as in "food, housing, and healthcare needs are met," not as in "billionaire super-villain money"

I would sail sail the great lakes for weeks at a time.

I would write more music, and hire musicians to play it with me.

I would spend half the summer growing food (which I already do!)

I would continue to invest in my own mental health, but spend more time meditating.

I have chronic fatigue (to simplify a longer story), and spending that precious energy solving logic puzzles for a paycheck is sometimes pretty demoralizing.
