Nope, there hasn't been any decent drama for months. It's been thin gruel for a long time.

How do you top the last 12 months though?

We're literally in the middle of a literal trans genocide.

Look, fuck Ezra, but someone tell Anthony from Deadline when he's done playing PR for WBD to use Ezra's correct pronouns.

Honestly, if I called my trans supporting, feminist, gf (she’s bi) a non-man she would kick me in the balls with the strength of many non-men.

Didn't the mods create an OT for Ezra Miller and his crimespree because they got tired of the mass reports for people not caring about non binary bullshit? 

Half the posts on any thread about him are just people going *THEM 😂

Sen. Dean Heller paid son at least $52,500 in campaign cash for social media consulting Watchdogs say checks cut to Harrison Heller raise red flags

lol. something tells me this guy has been doing fine, is currently doing fine, and will always be doing fine.

there is a huge harassment problem on twitch but especially given the lack of substance in the highlights clip this is not an instance i can personally muster any energy to care about. not sure there is any point in getting into a "power dynamics" conversation pitting a twitch moderator against an enormous white guy streamer from a rich politically connected fascist family. still very weird and bad behavior from the twitch employee!

Well, I'm almost scared Era will do some digging and I'm missing something, but: He is not a shithead, at least in all his vids and streams I saw, and I saw a lot, he _never_ even remotely had any dickish, mean, bigoted or phobic opinions or showed any sign of it, and he's one of the most chill, understanding, inoffensive and helpful streamers about the topic I know of. He helped his father creating video content for a good price, his father's a Republican, he himself does believe in God. Which is a bad sign, but afaik he never acted badly because of it.
That's the beginning and end of it, as far as I know.

i'm sorry. i have a lot of sympathy for finding out somebody you like has done gross shit. i'm sure that he's chill on stream. i'm sure he's helpful to other streamers. also, he literally did comms work for a fascist's senate campaign. this is definitely acting badly - the reno gazette journal article actually significantly underreported the campaign payments to harris.

100%

I generally only care what the women playing the sports feel like. And I can see why they are concerned.


I don't know if this is settled but I'm not an expert on this, jus regurgitating different arguments (with backing studies) I've seen. It generally depends when you start taking hormones. If you've done male puberty and transition at 18-20something its different than starting at 12.


The fairness in sports comes down to different things. It's gonna be like an averages/bell curve issue for one. If we accept more trans women in sports and they start consistently being better than they statistically should be, theres something there that probably warrants a closer look. But... we don't really have enough data to pull from now. And it doesn't help all the stories cropping up are in different sports at different age groups at different levels of competition.

Theres also a debate about where the line is to be considered for the gender you want to play as. Just identifying clearly isn't enough. there need to be medical interventions/testing. Are we expected to do this in high school even?

Like I said, I can see why it feels super shitty for women to get a space for themselves for fair competition and then they see they have to wrestle against a trans women with a more masculine stature. There is something here that inherently FEELS unfair even if the stats don't bear it out. And thats gonna be a thing I think the majority of americans, dems included, feel.

I also want to point out, since this is the politics thread, that it feels insane that trans stuff is such a major political talking point now. How has such a miniscule part of the population become a massive talking point for the GOP? It's gotta feel super shitty that your life is now becoming a political battleground because the GOP has no other policy positions to push.

you're a transphobe.

This issue (of non-binary appearing folk being harassed) was brought up by Angela Eagle in the UK parliamentary debate on the Equality Act changes. And lo, bang, pretty much the same time, this is in the news.

Weird that the Rowling hate thread isn't talking about this tweet
Like generally I feel it's more common than ever that when someone from your political side does something bad or idiotic, it just gets ignored.

wait lol. men are the same but women are now non-men? loooool. come on.

They've now updated their website to this

Upon becoming aware of the language in question, we have begun working to determine the origin and context of the glossary’s definitions. We have removed the page from our website while we gather more information.

https://studentaffairs.jhu.edu/lgbtq/education/glossary/

Apparently they need to investigate what a non-man really is

I love how, clearly, someone gave a nutter free rein to write the public-facing policy on the website and none of the adults knew or subsequently have any idea who wrote it.

Meanwhile, in the JHU web committee meeting…

I'm old enough to remember when Jan Morris came out as trans in the mid-1960s, and what I most remember is just how little fuss there was about it. Sure, there were a lot of hurdles she had to overcome, but in the main people were curious and sympathetic but not appalled and not politicising what was widely recognised as a very personal thing. That's 60 years ago and we seem to have gone backwards, and it's nobody's fault except a bunch of rabble-rousing so-called politicians and so-called Christians.

yeah it's so weird how nobody cared and then one day, out of the blue, suddenly everyone seemed to have an opinion

can't possibly have anything to do with a loud minority screaming at everyone to respect them and make special accommodations for them, then actually getting those accommodations in ways that sideline and upset others

Poor guy makes thread about being uggo. 

Funny. I’m not gay but I’ve been told by a gay coworker that I would kill it on his side of things, and have received multiple complements from his friends.

Ok. Well, for a start we all know this is straight up bullshit. If anything the gays are even less accepting of ugs than ladiees. 

Hey everyone is a little fluid at least. If you haven't tried it i'd say give it a shot. At least once if you never experimented before.

Sure. Just become a gay. All you have to do is suck dick and buy a Chihuahua. That's definitely how that works.

[MJBarret]

Seems, to me at least, if Folx over there actually cared about 'The Cause' they'd be more flexible in order to further trans acceptance in wider society, but because they're entirely self-serving judgement junkies, they'd rather scour potential allies.

Regardless of what they claim, kicking people out of the Super Exclusive Treehouse Club of Allies takes precedent over welcoming people in, precisely because they get no personal satisfaction from the latter.

I still remember them battling it out in that thread after NOT having watched the special or context of the jokes.

This happens all the time on that site, they refuse to watch anything outside of clips but still want to comment on it. The term clip-chimping exists to describe Era types.

Been walking around with a 1st Visit pin and just been soaking it in. Never really been to many amusement parks, Universal Studios being I guess like the only one. But I just did Avatar Flight of Passage and I was in tears with how amazing it was. That, Rise of the Resistance and Haunted Mansion were all amazing. Has anyone else here been on any of these rides?
