ahhh i'm so glad!! the frankenstein as a transgender narrative is a spectrum and on one end there's "i am obscene to you but to myself i simply am" from frankenstein 2025 while on the other end there's "you don't need one of those to be a man" from lisa frankenstein :')

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

There are no ontologically evil people

People generally want to believe they are doing good

Under enough stress, anyone will act irrationally

since then mass termination and nuking* of transfems' blogs have picked up a lot, and haven't ever stopped. every week there is a mass-banwave, usually hitting transfems for being victims of mass harassment campaigns. some transfems get terminated even more frequently, like every few days to even down to every few hours on some days. the blogs up there in the reblog chain from puppet were all made and terminated within hours of each other.

the transmisogyny comes from the top down AND from the userbase

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

And like... you do get that that is kinda insane, right?

Because this is something that so often leads to suffering. And I am saying this as someone disabled, who had so many issues due to this in his childhood.

Just three examples: when I was 7, I was supposed to get checked for autism. My mother did not want an autistic child. Since she just could have a "neurotypical" child by refusing diagnosis, she did just that.

When I was 12, my mother had decided I needed a certain plastic surgery (one that had a minor health benefit, but still was largely a beauty thing). I did not want it. I really, really did not want it. We still went through almost the entire process until thankfully there was a doctor who went: "Wait, this is elective. I am refusing to do this on a child that does not want it."

And when I was 14 my mother refused to get me to the hospital when I had severe food poisoning. She refused me hospital treatment for almost two weeks. By the time I got actually taken to the hospital I was almost dead.

And here is the thing: all of this should just not happen. The doctor when I was 12 was cool, but... he refused to do the surgery because he had the right to make a conscience call. Legally my mother was in the right to force me into that elective surgery. And that just should not be the case.

A lot of children die and suffer due to their legal inability to consent - or refuse consent - to medical treatments. And I wish y'all would understand that.
