@Zorf96 @TransF1xed So I can call you a coward and you’ll say “thank you for the solidarity?”

@TransF1xed I think you're taking this in an unfairly negative way.
I'm that post, I see a trans masc person feeling empowered to embrace their feminine side by seeing a trans character suffer from burying that same side. To me, that seems like an act of solidarity from the trans masc.
English
this person is transmasc btw, how are none of the comments pointing out how insanely transphobic and transmisogynistic this is, like yeah i wonder why you might be more comfortable presenting femininely than a closeted trans woman when its the standard expectation of your agab

@sinnersoviet3 @KarnesMellagio White larper accuses indigenous people of not respecting indigenous traditions enough, declares himself the arbiter of REAL anti-colonialism. Truly, a sign of a very serious mind!

@KarnesMellagio This just proves your not anti colonial you like those colonial lines the settlers created.

Turtle Island usage is one of those interesting byproducts of settler colonialism, as the original creation story and myth are a small part of a couple of nations in the Eastern Woodlands, has now become an activist term within non native and even unrelated native actvist circles

@Wilson__Valdez So you’re probably super into Hasan, right? He clearly proves the “left = unmasculine” trope wrong, so you should probably want him to represent Democrats. Unless this is just cover to attack progressives no matter the reason?
English
Dems have a major image problem among men and are seen as 'un-masculine' and then every DSA person looks exactly like this guy. And despite the DSA people actually hating Dems, they get held up as 'representative' of Dem males.
The Soy Boy demo but in real life. It's a real problem, given that most of politics now is just bullshit vibes.

Hey buddy, why did you crop out the first tweet that this thread was actually about? Oh right because it was about you guys lying again. Can't make an 'oh wow, the libs are TRIGGERED' tweet if you include my buddies lying. Just doesn't hit the same. What a great way to disprove the statement that you guys are reliant on dishonesty!

@An_Aria_Blooms Comptop is awful and nobody should have to experience it! But the bad part is not the specific of being expected to top, it’s having sexual expectations tied to one’s body! I have been pushed into “compbottom” situations as a trans woman and both are awful
English
I agree with this take but I also think that we should ardently defend trans women who like topping. That doesn't make them men or evil or predatory. Women aren't more pure or defensible or worthy because they are submissive and bottoms.

@amanofthesoil @US_Macauley @breakfastguy32 @RorateCaeli Oops! You moved the goalposts. Would you like to get back to talking about opposition to slavery among the troops or have you so thoroughly lost that fight that you’ve moved to “uhh, well, uhh, but… they were still RACIST!”? How pathetic! You have no spine and no convictions :)

@erichhartmann @EricsRambles Or! We could register vehicles with a motor? Not sure why you’re jumping to “register all bikes” unless you’re just grasping for any old reason why we can’t regulate e-bikes at all. Either way, the conclusion you’ve jumped to is just plain wrong.
English
@EricsRambles Then we need to register all bikes… not sure we want to do that.
He could've been just as injured if it was one of those wheelie-jerks, or just another regular bike that was driving recklessly.
I'm glad he got justice, I really am. We mustn't allow assholes to asshole.
English
This crash video from richie_engineer on Instagram shows why e-vehicles + two-way bike lanes are such a menace. Richie ended up with a cracked clavicle, the unidentified e-biker sped off telling him to "go cry about it" and he had to hire PI to track him down to sue him.

@bourne_beth2345 @SilentNyite And we’re supposed to listen to the liar? The one who intentionally defrauded a doctor’s office? That’s the person we’re supposed to trust here? Ok.

@SilentNyite Nobody is trans. Human beings are gonochoric. They can’t change their sex.

It’s all medical fraud.
After my daughter’s pediatrician at Kaiser Permanente tried to put her on puberty blockers and wrong-sex hormones when she was only 14, I did an undercover story when I pretended to be “nonbinary.”
I was approved by my Kaiser doctors over Zoom for a double mastectomy (top surgery) and a phalloplasty (fake p*nis) made from the skin tissue on my thigh in under 9 months.
It was only a $100 co-pay for my elective mastectomy and $200 co-pay for my phalloplasty yet the surgeons would bill $25k for mastectomy and $135k for the phalloplasty.

Kaiser Permanent just paid $550+ million to settle fraudulent billing accusations. Three qui tam whistleblowers are splitting $95 million. This claim involved aggressive "upcoding," the practicing of billing for a procedure that is more expensive than the specific procedure performed. Upcoding is common and involves judgments about the proper procedure code a doctor should use when there are similar codes for a treatment, and the reimbursement rate differs. The fraud that is taking place in gender medicine involves brazen lying about the diagnosis the patient has, the sex of the patient, and completely fictional treatments - such as treating a breast removal on a teen girl as a gynocomastia removal on a boy, or justifying a puberty blocker implant as a treatment for non-existant precocious puberty or "tall stature". These are slam dunk cases, just waiting to be brought.

@GGraymatter @souljagoyteller @SnakeThatStings Maybe the best way to prosecute wife murders is to keep white supremacist cops from completely derailing the trial. If only LAPD had learned a lesson from that

@souljagoyteller @SnakeThatStings Yup that’s bad, but do you know what is worse? Killing your ex-wife.

Cultural osmosis has muddied The OJ trial to the point that people think he got off because he was rich and not because the defense used the LAPD’s corruption, incompetence around the case, and racism against them which created enough reasonable doubt to get him acquitted

@moldbugchaser @Noahpinion Wage theft is a term older than you are. You’re so desperate to un-invent the concepts that explain the world that you’ll stick your head in the dirt if it means you stop hearing new information.

@Eric_Die_Spinne @lukeisamazing “If this principle were true, you wouldn’t have to invent the nonsense term ‘gravity’ to define it. Things fall because God wills it.”

@lukeisamazing If it was a clear and rational concept, you wouldn’t have to invent the nonsense term “social murder” to explain it. Luigi is evil and you are engaging in evil by defending him.

I love when libs try to prove they respect human life more than vile leftists by saying that the murder of a single CEO is a crime against basic human decency but the social murder of 20 million ppl thru denied claims is just the cost of doing business. this is why ppl hate you!
Emma Camp@emmma_camp_
One of the reasons I am a liberal and not a leftist is that leftist morality is about power, not rights. Good actions reduce power imbalances, bad actions exacerbate them. Murder, theft, and discrimination can all be justified if they harm a “powerful” person or group. Liberals condemn these actions because they violate individual rights and dignity. Liberalism seeks equal rights, leftism seeks equal power.

@KelseyTuoc @CynicalWolf69 “Wait times are shorter” is US government propaganda that you are uncritically repeating. I will not be able to see my primary care physician until November. I have been waiting since last August. This is normal in the United States and I’m one of the luckier ones.
English
@CynicalWolf69 Different systems ration healthcare in different ways, which have different costs - wait times are much shorter in the US, but costs are higher. A lot of people don't seek or don't receive treatment at all under the Canadian and UK system as well, and that's also bad.
English
Piker's views on theft are bad, but they really do pale in comparison to his views on murder: that the important thing about Brian Thompson's murder is that healthcare CEOs are 'engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder' due to 'the structural violence of 'poverty'
