if you want me to emotionally labor to rank every Jeff then PAY 👏 ME 👏

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Rank the top 100 famous Jeffs from best to worst, and after each name give a 2 to 6 word reasoning why they have that ranking. No Geoffs. I'm talking like Jeff Bridges and Jeffrey Dahmer and Jeff Goldblum. Just, well known Jeffs.

Important editorial note: yes, I intentionally cheated a little with duplicates because the pool of truly famous Jeffs gets surprisingly thin around #70. Also, Jeff Winger and Jeff Spicoli are fictional, but they're too culturally Jeff to exclude.

And I would absolutely accept arguments that Jeff Goldblum should be #1.

what the fuck at some of these

I'm still conflicting,

Kojima has joined Xbox because of Sony for many reasons, but on the other hands, MS/Xbox has long history of BDS movement....and he accepted that?

They live in a completely different reality

Some of the statistics here are shocking. A full 35%, 1 in 3, of LGBTQ folks believe trans athletes shouldn't compete as their chosen gender.

Still too high.  

The LGBQ need to disassociate from them fast or at least made them admit they are just gay and autistic.

[benji]

I'd just love to know what they think would change the mind of people about trans women in sports. Like sorry but that one study Kyuuji likes to post doesn't cut it. Meanwhile every time some trans athlete dominated or is like two heads taller than all the cis women the counterargument makes itself right there. They want to argue against every natural instinct people have. You need a damn good argument for that

Have you considered basic human decency? Protecting fundamental human rights? Not being a bigot or fascist? Trusting the science? Not being complicit in a genocide? No? Then fuck off. Do better.

Is being insufferable like this a core part of being trans?

They're people who believe people will treat them better because they say their gender is different. And simply declaring this should allow them into spaces they otherwise wouldn't be. And they also believe they should be able to police your thoughts about them even when they're absent. So...

[Besticus Maximus]

Kyuuji

How do you think public perception on these topics became what it is. Do you think people spontaneously decided to hold strong opinions about trans people? Or do you think it's years of transphobic right-wing talking points being left uncontested by those on the left with little-to-no widespread, consistent effort to inform and educate themselves and other people on the matter.

Kyuuji, i need you to know this. It was you personally. You are such a huge cunt, a huge famous cunt, that any benefit of the doubt I once had has evaporated, because I read your hateful shite every day. And since I’ve seen your face I also know how ridiculous a human being you are. You’re also a big nonce, and you are not safe to be around. Give up the drugs.

[benji]

He's right, if only people on the left had insisted harder that trans women are women and it's not up for debate.

[Averon]

Some of the statistics here are shocking. A full 35%, 1 in 3, of LGBTQ folks believe trans athletes shouldn't compete as their chosen gender.

A good chunk (1/3rd) of Kyuuji's own people say transwomen in women sports is a step too far. If Kyuuji can't even convince their own people to be near 100% in lockstep on this sports issue, why do they think the rest of the world should bend to their whims on this?

[Daffy Duck]

The fact they think it's only Republicans and the "far right" that think men shouldn't be in women's spaces is very telling.

They really have no idea how far they've pushed things with the sensible centre.

For supposedly only being something like 0.5% of the population they sure do think they deserve to be treated like the majority and basically have every whim and desire they want.

And let’s not forget these are the very same 0.5% of the population who claim they just want to live their lives but do anything but just live their lives and and continually push the envelope of acceptance and access to women’s only spaces.

[Jansen]

Isn't there a quote in this very thread where he says he's for banning trans Healthcare for minors? Trans existence and happiness many times is heavily tied to if you have access to HRT and surgeries that relieve gender dysphoria and taking away healthcare access is pretty much one of the worst things that can happen to trans people

This game is being funded by another publisher with deep pockets. I don't think that's bad news, and I don't understand why everyone is acting so devastated. If the game is good enough, I'd gladly buy a Helix for it. If Microsoft also pulls out, that would mean something has gone seriously wrong with development. You're all turning on Sony way too hard out of love hate. That's not really necessary.

I cannot tell you how devastating this. What an utter colossal fumble. PlayStation is officially over to me and I feel like a fool for ever supporting them. No more new games for me. I cannot believe they've done this.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Trans women*. In the same way you wouldn't say blondewomen or tallwomen.

You shouldn't use these terms that no on have ever used.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

I think a thing that makes me sad is that there are so many visible trans people in media right now -- more than at any other time in at least MY life.

Yet when it comes to politics, we still don't want to center trans people in conversations ABOUT trans people.

Go on TS Madison's podcast.

Have a conversation with Hope Giselle.

I don't think Kat Blaque does interviews but reach out anyway.

Dominique Morgan will do an Instagram live with you!

Plenty of trans people -- VISIBLE trans people -- in the social/activist space who could be centered in this conversation on your position on trans issues that would likely not be framed as gotchas, but actual conversations. Hell, have these conversations privately. Steel your resolve.

But no...keep going on Fox News and having this conversation with people who don't know shit about shit.

Why go on the USA's largest news network when you could go on Areola Shaboey's Bluesky podcast.

Yeah he should definitely reach out to someone who doesn't do interviews and ask to do an interview with them. This is a winning strategy. I am very smart.

Yes, a few months ago he said he only supports youth trans healthcare to "fix" intersex kids. Trans youth usually get only blockers & HRT and in emergency cases breast reduction, due to suicide risk. Intersex kids are the ones who often get genital surgeries as babies and long before they can consent to such a surgery or before they can self-report on a gender identity. In some cases they lose their ability to reproduce that way. (They will also need HRT if they either lack functional hormone glands or had them removed in the process.) Something that can be avoided in trans teens if they decide to value their reproductive capacity a priority. It's total upside-down world, what politicians and TERFs scaremonger about trans teens already happens without any outcry for intersex newborns, while a much more sensible approach is being banned for trans teens. All in the service for cis normativity because both approaches ironically aim for the same goal: Intersex and transgender erasure!

[Boredfrom]

Amalthea, you are a fucking balding man trying to pass your manchild and emotionally stunned tastes as something bigger than what it is. Is insulting how much you try to associate intersex people with trans people.

I'm not sure why people are complaining about this now. It's been like this for 10 years. The folks there do good work.

I imagine that is the main reason why people are complaining.

[Averon]

People's lack of exposure to us isn't the cause of public sentiment shifting heavily the past few years. It makes people more susceptible to transphobic rhetoric but you still need that rhetoric for it to happen. People haven't just randomly started holding strong opinions about us on a whim, and they haven't suddenly become less exposed to us the past decade.

I'm not sure why you're speaking solely to online either. Right-wing politicians and traditional media have been focused heavily on anti-trans talking points for years now, without broad pushback by those on the left or major effort to inform both themselves and others on these topics as a means to counter such narratives.

Pointing to public sentiment getting worse as a means to validate people being weak on trans topics is just a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's also a frankly pathetic approach to concerns of minority rights in general.

I'd argue people's exposure to trans-people being higher than ever coinciding with people's declining support for trans-people ought to be a clue. Whatever the trans community is doing is backfiring, and the more people get exposed to trans-people, the less they are in support for them.

I mean, you don't need right-wingers speaking badly about trans-people when you got pro-trans groups advocating for putting male-rapists-that-suddenly-comes-out-as-a-woman in a women's prison, for example. Or pushing hard to indoctrinate children who can't even tie their own shoes yet that they are trans and need surgeries and be put on all sorts of drugs.

The declining support for trans-people is a self-inflicted wound.

I imagine the main reason why Nintendies are actually critical for once is because it was a bad direct.

Guys, the HRT and surgery isn’t required to be trans, but they are both absolutely necessary to be trans. Learn the theory!

Spot on. And the trans activists seem be completely deluded to how insane it sounds to people to demand that trans rapists should be put in women's prisons. They don't give a shit about what happens to those women as long as it helps them continue their LARP that they're 100% exactly the same as Cis women
