When I was drafting briefs at TLDEF, I just wanted to write, Geduldig is trash and you should ignore it. The amount of time I spent formulating arguments against it was insane. The antis have been arguing it for a decade and were rewarded for it. …

If Zohran wins tomorrow, Cuomo will run as an independent with the most racist Islamaphobic campaign you've ever seen. Establishment Dems will line up to nuke their own primary winning candidate. It wouldn't even be the first time in New York. They…

JK Rowling explicitly calls on her followers to engage in vigilante actions against people they suspect are trans in bathrooms. This is incredibly dangerous and far more likely to result in violence against gender nonconforming cis women.

This is fundamentally why this capitulation or compromise game doesn't work. The anti trans side doesn't want some "reasonable" compromise on sports or other issues. They see trans people as less than human who should be eradicated from society. You…
