    Jeet Heer Retweeted b-boy bouiebaisse

    It's very true and telling that the people who yelp loudest about identity politics & cancel culture have for the most part been silent about these horrific anti-trans bills, which use the power of the state to restrict identity & speech.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1382752183960080386 …

        Can’t think of a single one of those people who doesn’t enthusiastically broadcast their dislike of trans people.

        There are exceptions, but it's true of many, if not most, of them.

        Well in their defense someone with an anime avatar and a pink and blue flag in the bio said some really mean things, so both sides really.

        Conservatives are expert at identifying marginalized communities who haven't achieved mainstream acceptance, and targeting them for persecution. Over and over. Always claiming they are for individual rights. Come on.

        For a while now, the political ethos of the right boils down to a relentless demand for sympathy for their total lack of sympathy.

        “Identity” only exists as a contrast to the dominant group.

        David Tenner Retweeted Jesse Singal

        FWIW, Jesse Singal, so often denounced as a transphobe, has attacked both the AR law and the NC bill: https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1376906416221458433 …https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1379841860479414272 …

        This North Carolina bill is every bit as completely insane and horrific as advertised. As written, it mandates that government workers have to report children to their parents for "gender nonconformity." https://ncleg.gov/Sessions/2021/Bills/Senate/PDF/S514v0.pdf … pic.twitter.com/abNy1OqQp6
