It’s also fear: They know that if they don’t go feral enough brute-forcing a narrative shift, Trump will immediately go feral and brute-force humiliate them

Wild story all around, but they were right that The Onion is a major media company imo. I have a book with a whole century worth of their cover pages
Tightening our grasp on Iran. And unlike those previous idiots, we will not let any star systems slip through our fingers this time
Peter Purves, who played the Doctor's assistant Steven Taylor, […] said:
"My flabber has never been so gasted."
I hope someone is keeping an archive of her interactions with Dame Katy Denise; I think they would legitimately shock people who don’t realize how far gone she is
These proposals always ignore the fact that their strategy also failed
“We said vote for the Democrat and raise hell.” Well then I guess saying that didn’t work either! And yet here he is, trying it again

Finally, a cure for Gender Disdainia
I knew they would eventually use the anti-trans-healthcare framework they built to attack something else, but… Tylenol?
The very idea!

In this thread you are involved, and your position is to criticize someone standing up for trans rights. This is perhaps not the most effective way to positively influence the party. I think it is legitimately important that you do something else.
Who are you supporting? Do you think promoting them right now might be a better use of your time than brow beating a trans woman for standing up for trans rights?
Why would someone not be romantically interested in me?? It’s me!
A pharmacist just asked me if the estrogen was helping with the hot flashes
Trying to remember, which delivery order was it that made romantic rejection pain go away?
It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".
“Probably”? What are you basing your probability estimate on?
Our military are fighting Iran like a sleazy lawyer lashing out at the person who punctured his pride by offering him a job

Our military are fighting Iran in the same way that a suburban meth dealer yells at his wife
Yeah learning the (apparently false) info that his wife is Jewish made me trust him much, much less for exactly that reason. Donald Trump wants a wife partly so that he has someone he hates who he can dominate and humiliate in the comfort of his home
Honestly “the VDARE guy thought his wife was Jewish” makes a lot more sense than “his Jewish wife didn’t tell her husband that he had a prominent Nazi tattoo”

I gather that everyone here is 100% certain Donald Trump is a misogynist.
So who here actually knew that his wife is a woman?
And how does that influence your certainty?
I have one more thought experiment:
Do you think Platner’s Jewish wife didn’t know his Totenkopf was a Nazi tattoo?
What do you think, @benryanwriter.bsky.social ? What would you call a clinic that - according to a source you trust - set limits on gendered activity as a way to treat children?
What GRADE quality of evidence would you say there is that that treatment was effective?
Oh that one has an extra angle: Singal called one of the moms and she confirmed that she had taken her kid to the sissy clinic and Zucker suggested that she take away the toys he liked, but in a non-conversion-therapy way, eye roll
We can’t just turn of google reader
You don’t have to trust them. It’s a direct quote. Unless you think they fabricated a quote?
Although GID is not supposed to be diagnosed on the basis of “simple nonconformity to stereotypical sex role behaviour” (ie average sissies and tomboys), Dr Zucker asserts that a pattern of cross-gendered behaviour can itself be a problem. For him, the cross-gendered child “is saying each and every day by his [or her] behaviour that they are, in fact, not feeling good about who they are. Because they are constantly trying to be someone else.”
Jesse’s article is not consistent with Zucker’s own description of his work, which would have found any femininity you showed at his clinic as a child as a problem to be treated. Is that what you mean by cartoonish demonizing?

How would you characterize it? As someone who has read Singal’s and others’ writing about it?
