The men who harass women just can’t imagine that a person with that potential would give it up.

An infuriating part of the trans panic is "what if straight men are pretending to be trans women to harass other women?" and it's like if you care about violence against women maybe care about the global pandemic of real violence rather than maybe this might happen violence?

I have never in my life been bothered by a trans woman in a bathroom or anywhere else.
I've been sexually harassed by straight men in every conceivable situation since I was a teenager.

Lots of services, all nicely divided up in different containers. Blazing fast network with 0% packet loss. Getting all my media and data centralized. Exit node so nothing is exposed to the internet but I can get all my stuff. I’m so happy. Lots of trial and error and breaking stuff first.

I'm MrFeast and I just let six libertarians into these woods and me and my friends are going to hunt and eat them. The winner is the last one alive, and he gets some money and all he has to do is watch his friends get devoured. We eat him after he gets to hold the money.
