Posting this here to really hammer it home how much the "social media: bad" angle is used to hurt trans people while hiding behind a veil of progressivism. We've had several topics on ERA about politicians pushing bills to ban minors from social media under the pretense that they want to protect children, and try to appeal to people's experiences of stumbling onto sites with messed up stuff when they were younger, when they just really want to cut off queer youth from their support networks.

“Go touch grass” === transphobia now

the reply to that post:

Yep, the internet is the best way for many people to find information on subjects like this. Conservatives are scared that they can't completely control information so they want to ban it. It's just a modern day book burning.

Ree are laughing at the idiot family with typical fuck around responses. What I'm confused about is why ree are laughing. Isn't this exactly the same type of thing they talk about doing all the time? I've seen countless posts about them wanting to emigrate from hellhole US to some fantasy utopia.

The timeline is confusing to me. They keep saying libs of tiktok got the teacher fired but the post they're citing is libs of tiktok posting about how the teacher was already let go.

What happened to the kid is really fucked but the details are confusing

There’s a bit more details about this in the past 24 hours. Some confirming their pronouns and some explains more about how the school acted. The connection between their identity and the fight isn’t established (one of their friends was also getting beat up too), and after the fight all involved walked to the school nurse and were checked out.

It’s likely the fight caused their death, but it’s definitely not a certainty right now. Also, as of now, no evidence the fight was because they were non-binary. Hell, there’s no reported statement that I’ve read that they’ve been bullied for the past year.

also, I keep seeing sentiment like this



so...she would've been safer if she'd been allowed to use the boy's bathroom, among a bunch of guys who probably don't see her as fitting in there?

I mean I guess the fact she was beaten up implies this would be true, maybe it wouldn't have happened if she was using the boy's bathroom, but isn't that the opposite of what you'd expect?

"for safety, we need to let women use men's restrooms?"

The story is so full of what feels like misinformation. The independent article with the grandmother interview added all sorts of details, but like nothing is really corroborated.

The kid got buried last week. Yesterday the gfm was closed with like 25k. Today it's reopened, with an apology for the dead naming, and assurances the extra will go to trans rights things or whatever, gets another 20k. Sketch as fuck all around

Also the change from description of non-binary, to gender-fluid trans, is l the fuck ol

Once again, nearly everywhere in California that aren't the major cities in SoCal are basically screaming red. There's also been a massive outflow of people from California to Texas (particularly in the tech sector, which tends to skew conservative) in the last 5 years that'll continue for quite a while.

That these two states would ally themselves isn't all that strange, especially considering the leadership in California right now. It's like looking at Eugene, Seattle, and Portland and acting like that's the entire PNW - when historically anywhere outside of that has been hardcore Klan country forever.

I'm not even American, and I don't know how many people posting "uhhhh, California and Texas? LOL GET REAL!" are - but in an election year I'm a little bit taken aback by all the people feigning ignorance to the ultraconservative voting blocs that tend to still have a reasonably huge presence in what are usually known as blue states.

I'd also disagree that the movie needs to be a hard referendum on Trump specifically. You want that? The Boys is still going stong and has a new season coming out this year, but I believe it was said best by another user on here that it's the height of liberalthink to act like the fascist tendencies of the Republican Party begin an end with him (like the Republican party wasn't straight up running large parts of the south like a virtual apartheid state until the 80's). I'm not entirely sure what the people accusing this movie of "both sides-ing" want, exactly. From the trailers we've been shown, what we can assume are the villains are clearly conservative coded - and Kristen Dunst' voiceover says as much as "I thought I was sending a message home... don't do this".

Do we really need another movie saying "Trump bad" that American liberals can jerk themselves off endlessly to, so they don't have to look inward and assess their own complicity in a system that's currently allowing its feral colonial project to carpet bomb children? (Uh oh, did me a both-sides'n there, sorry about that).

The movie isn't even out yet, but the sheer amount of political ignorance on display around this movie is disappointing, on a forum that touts itself as being more politically conscious than most at that.

I'm aware of everything you are saying, it's common knowledge.
It's disgraceful the way you call others ignorant, especially when you do so while pointing out something that is extremely fucking obvious as though everyone doesn't already know. You are being insulting and arrogant.

This true detective night country discourse is weird. I thought it was fine, better than 2  but not better than 3 (obviously its not touching 1). It feels like some of the defenses of the season are people overcompensating because the original creator didn't like night country so they're saying stuff like night country revitialized the series which it didn't in my opinion. (whole thing screams of excessive defense because women ran this season)

Me and the missus have been watching 4 while also watching 3 concurrently. 3 was fucking brilliant with a bit of a wank ending. 4 has been total nonsense from the jump imo. It's just about watchable but we've taken to calling it Jodie Foster shouts at people rather than true detective. It feels like it's barely been written in english and I cannot really tell you of a coherent plot or subplot in the show from start to finish. A load of shit ideas thrown at the wall filmed in a warehouse.

“We are sorry for not using their name correctly, and as parents we were still learning the correct forms,” she said in the post. “Please do not judge us as Nex was judged; please do not bully us for our ignorance on the subject. Nex gave us that respect, and we are sorry in our grief that we overlooked them.”

Harrassing a murder victim's family is some real superhero shit. They must be getting so many screaming calls from lunatics.

In April 2022, Owasso High School teacher Tyler Wrynn was featured in a surreptitiously filmed Libs of TikTok post telling students: “If your parents don’t accept you for who you are, f*** them.”

Do you think this is deliberate misinformation, or does the journalist really not know what surreptitious means?

I didn’t mind season 4, but it was not a true detective show at all, it felt all over the place and didn’t know what it wanted to actually be or the story it wanted to tell.

I love when the entire social status of women is determined by how many of the top 100 movies were led by women.
Also find it a bit weird to focus on the top 100 movies. So Disney pumped hundreds of millions into the Marvels but that means shit because the movie sucked?

There is a direct correlation between the sketchiness of a story (and individuals involved) and the speed of a Go Fund Me being set up by some unrelated person who will "donate" the proceeds.

After more research, I agree with you. But that one photo definitely picked up a good angle.

[Besticus Maximus]

A lesser noted genre of crank bullshit for this journal but an important one, the Resetera  scots nationalists (yes they are nationalists), who hate the Labour party despite it being the only actual left wing party in the entire British isles, are currently embarrassing themselves on behalf of their tartan tory overlords, bending over backwards to explain away why the SNP have just colluded with the tories to try and set a trap for Labour only to completely fuck the job, throw a disgusting hissy fit, run away and try and work with the tories yet again to replace the speaker of the house of commons because he didn't do them a favour and split the Labour party for bullshit reasons.

They are not lefties. They are nationalists, and there is no such thing as civic nationalism.

Now you can get back to arguing over american things.

I'm not even surprised that Nick hates it when season 4 starts to try to include elements from season 1. I think Issa Lopez meant it as homage but it can also just come off as cheap and trying to ride on the first season's laurels.

Issa is making the mistake of being hyper defensive about this when is clear it was its own thing before slapped the True Detective name of it.

Trans people should arm up. People that support the rights of Trans people to exist should be willing to support their friends and community in physical, kinetic ways.

Anecdotally, I have trans friends even here in California that have taken seriously to gun ownership over the past two years as they feel that regardless of who is in power, their existence is being questioned and pushed against.

I never understood posts like this.

Okay, so you buy a gun, and the state tries to arrest you or make hormones or something similar illegal.

Trans/NB/GNC people are being murdered consistently already.

They aren't though...

The estimate for trans people in the US is 1.6 million. In 2023, 33 trans people were killed.  That's 0,0021 % getting killed.
The US population is 340 million. In 2023 18600 people were killed. That's 0,0055 % getting killed.

How can you claim to be in extra danger when your less likely to get killed than the national average? Am I doing the math wrong or something? I mean this is how we calculate whether minorities are being disproportionally shot by the police, right?
