And Stop Calling Me Shirley

@mashable How? Well, let's see. Author says she's supportive of trans community but believes males shouldn't be in female changing rooms. Internet and media lose collective minds. See how much YOU "transform" when one particular group is suddenly bombarding you with threats & hatred 24/7.

The author uses her mammoth social media following to target trans people. How did we get here? mashable.com/article/jk-row…

@buitengebieden I can't think of much of anything that makes me instantaneously happier than seeing a happy dog♥️

A man adopted this dog whose shelter card declared his love for water, so he brought him to this place.. This was his reaction.. 😊

@BriannaWu This has always been my position. Unless we're going to station security outside all public restrooms verifying proper genitalia, the trans women who pass are just going to continue using women's restrooms quietly unnoticed. Use the restroom that causes the least alarm!

Trans women should use the bathroom of least surprise. 20 years ago, when I transitioned, we’d have honest conversations with each other if we were far enough along to use the ladies. Early along, many of us are not ready. Someone will never be capable of using the ladies in a non-disruptive way. But many of us do get to a point where it’s silly and disruptive to expect us to use the men’s.

@awhalefact So sad that whales apparently fall for corporate media bullshit just like people do. Too bad, I would have given them more credit in the cognitive reasoning department

the whales will not be watching the new hbo harry potter show. you might think this is because very few whales watch any television at all, but it is actually because jk rowling is a terf ass bitch

@Variety Will always side with Rowling over whatever storyline corporate media like Variety are trying to shove down our throats this week. Sorry if you disagree with her. That doesn't make her the antichrist, regardless of your best efforts to convince the public otherwise.

J.K. Rowling says HBO's #HarryPotter series "is going to be incredible" after the first trailer drops: "I’m so happy with it." Twenty minutes earlier, Rowling celebrated the Olympics' decision to ban transgender women from competing in women’s events by writing: “Today’s ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I’ll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.” Rowling was referring to the Olympics decision to allow Algeria’s Imane Khelif to compete in the women’s boxing competition at the Paris 2024 summer games, one year after Khelif was disqualified from the Women’s World Championships for failing a gender eligibility test due to elevated levels of testosterone in her system. Rowling denounced the Olympics at the time. Khelif was born female. variety.com/2026/tv/news/j…

@alltoopaige Crazy to me how many people just unquestioningly buy into the fact that JK Rowling is the antichrist because she doesn't think men should be in women's changing rooms

This trailer makes me want to cry but for all of the wrong reasons and maybe I’m just overreacting but as a massive Harry Potter fan this feels so wrong to me 😓😭 It feels like they are trying to replace the original cast and films which is basically what J.K. Rowling wanted….. The show doesn’t look bad by any means, but what is the point when the look and feel created in the films with the set design, costuming, locations used etc. are just being replicated for the show with such little variance? The Harry Potter films have such an iconic aesthetic and I actually hate the fact it’s being rebooted into a show. Why can’t we just respect the art that was already created? You want more of the story?! READ THE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s horrible that such a beautiful story was created by a woman that turned out to be so hateful that the purpose of this show is because she is now trying to rewrite history after staining her legacy.

@The8bitidiot It's Rowling, and you got the transphobic part wrong too. Imagine that.

The left isn't going to watch because JK Rowland is transphobic, and the right won't watch it because they're racists. This is quite literally a show for nobody.

@krassenstein @Timcast Brian, you propaganda-spewing turnip. You know very well that the Democratic party caters to the same billionaires who make the same money off the backs of their supporters. If these were your actual beliefs instead of just your way to a paycheck I might be a little more worried.

@Timcast Because they were lied to. Trump blamed all their problems on immigrants, Democrats and trans people. They realize that the problem has always been the Republican party catering to billionaires who make more money off their backs..

Democrats are tracking for a super majority in November as men are quitting in huge numbers We see men checking out in every political metric from polls, donations, and viewership

@BraddrofliT @DisrespectedThe LOL if you genuinely think both sides *aren't* playing the same game at this point you've just chosen to remain blissfully ignorant

@DisrespectedThe ‘Both sides’ only works if you ignore scale, intent, and consequences. They’re not even playing the same fucking game.

Most people aren’t saying this but I will. Americans are drastically underestimating how serious things are right now. And by the time it’s obvious to everyone… it’ll be too late. What are people missing?

@smc429 It's pretty clear that they simply don't believe the allegation, not that they think child rape is cool. Yes, you're talking about the rape of children - and if they ever come up with any evidence that will stand up in court, you'll have a whole lot more people on your side.

I wrote "Trump raped children" and Maga showed up to say "cry harder." Dude, we're talking about the rape of children. Cry harder? What the fuck isn't wrong with these people?

@Chris4Perkins2 Maybe in the grade-school-level fairy tale world where you live it is, but I’m sorry, in no representation of real life is it EVER “really that simple” as “one side = bad, other side = good”

Democrats voted for Kamala Harris because they believed she was most qualified. maga voted for trump because he promised to hurt the people who they hate. Democrats voted to help others. maga voted to hurt others. It's really that simple.

@em_Lazzy What a silly question. It's pretty difficult NOT to be aware of it when so many people post about how much they hate him 24/7. I don't happen to like the guy either. But jfc the degree of hatred people have for Trump has reached severe mental-illness levels.

Do Americans even realize their president is basically the most hated guy on the planet right now???

@cbassett33 As I recall most of the country was so ok with a black man as President that they elected him twice. You’re so eager to write off half the country as racists…you just don’t want to consider any points of view to be valid if they don’t completely align with your own.

100% correct. Because a lot of this country just couldn’t stomach the fact that a black man was our president. And it’s been hate and division ever since. So that’s on those of you that hated Obama

@politvidchannel LOL never happen. Just one more thing they’ll use to run on in elections and conveniently forget the second they step foot into office.

BREAKING: Democrats are planning "Project 2029," a plan to jail Trump, his family, and members of the current Trump administration.

@donwinslow Hey, @donwinslow, if you think being hypocritical and transactional is something that doesn’t happen in ridiculous amounts on the left as well then by this point you’re just choosing to remain deliberately ignorant.

Dear Republicans, Funny how you all shut the fuck up about gas prices now. You transactional mfs. Welcome to the hell you built.

@AmandiOnAir LOL what a guarantee. Yes, I’m sure if everyone had only listened to you the world would be all sunshine and rainbows and we’d all be living in peace, jfc 🤣

I can’t guarantee much, but I can guarantee this. If Kamala Harris — or Joe Biden, for that matter — was President today, I guarantee we would not be at war with Iran, our economy would be much stronger, the US would be more respected & the world would be safer and more peaceful.

@WallStreetApes I think this type of experience is probably a whole lot more common than most people on the left realize

We need more Americans to speak up like this woman “I'm officially coming out as a Republican. The left has truly swayed me over to the right — I used to be on the left — I was an activist for the LGBT people before they even had a legal right to marry” “I can't stand y'all anymore” She explains how she makes one comment accidentally not using a pronoun and she is now being relentlessly attacked by the “woke trans mob” She says she’s going through extreme bullying from the Left The Left is even going to her old videos where she’s grieving her dead mom and bullying both her and leaving nasty comments about her mom “I've been nothing but supportive — at this point I'm coming out. I'm voting Republican down the f*cking line. I'm done. Next thing Trump should do is bring back insane asylums and put these f*cking people in it”

@trouble_man90 Cannot physically roll my eyes hard enough for comments like this

If Kamala had won, right now she would be touring one of the new housing projects funded by her housing program wearing a hard hat, taking pictures and cracking corny jokes. Instead of that we’re doing a boots on the ground war that will last at least the rest of the year.

@MurrayHillGuy1 When you have a significant other and/or kid(s) that you genuinely enjoy spending time with, the little moments at home or out running meaningless errands together become more personally fulfilling than you would ever have imagined. Sounds corny, I know. Still true.

How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend? Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?

@bourscheid Ah, these are my favorite moments on X. Someone passes tragically and all the social media ghouls flock out from the shadows to shit on their grave. 🙄

Chuck Norris is dead? The same one who endorsed pedophiles Donald Trump & Roy Moore, propped up the Obama birther conspiracy, was outspoken in his hatred for gays & Muslims, and was obsessed with Netanyahu, guns & Mike Huckabee? I’ll save my thoughts & prayers, thanks.
