This shit is why I hate Brian Molko even though I like Placebo’s music and thought he was cute when going out femme. He treated the trans panic defense as a prank to pull on the cis hets. And yes yes, different times, but absolutely no sign of awareness or reflection over 30 years since those days.
This is a variant on the “Trans Woman Gotcha” meme, a.k.a. “Being a Trap,” a.k.a. the first step in some asshole’s Trans Panic defense.
Don’t fucking do this. You will get someone killed—yourself, maybe—and you’ll normalize the “gotcha” and the subsequent “righteous disgust” response.
Just don’t.

Got to love Oregon’s attorneys calling out a judge for calling trans women men in an appeal they won to keep trans women in men’s prisons.
“Sure, we want to make sure they stay in there to get v-coded, but calling them men is rude. We have to keep our reputation as a progressive state!”

A lot of cis "allies" seem to think we're overreacting to Talarico. This is why it's hitting many of us so hard. Like yeah he's not overtly calling me a man like some other trans-excluding Dems, but it's part of a pattern, and he's a flagship candidate whose lead a lot of people will follow.
This point, from my recent interview with @perrybaconjr.bsky.social for TNR, is so crucial. Trans people are desperate for relief from the relentless Republican attacks impacting all of us.
When Democrats move right, they signal relief may not be coming, and that engenders a lot of despair.

It was pretty clear that you said that it's ok to tell a trans person to enjoy the camps. That it's not a threat. What are people misreading there?
Gotta say the deliberate aliteracy in picking on one post in a thread and choosing to think the exact opposite outcome from what was described continues to be a vibe.

I wonder how many libs who were patting themselves on the back after Bostock are going to spend the next few months arguing that a candidate can't win in Ohio unless they run on segregating the schools.
Holy shit.
Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.
"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."
This is getting out of control.

She is proudly endorsing the elimination of trans people in schools and banning trans people from being teachers while forcefully outing trans kids and having the state bully them.

We're not going to sign on and vote to eliminate ourselves from society. I don't give a shit if they're in a red state. I'd rather they lose. You can't threaten us with, it would be worse under Republicans when Dems would pass the same exact policies nationally.

This is a Dem saying she proudly voted with Republicans to enact a national ban on trans people in schools and to withdraw federal funding from schools that offer protections for trans students. It's beyond monstrous.
You cannot defend that and insist we vote for a candidate like that.

this is probably the worst language i've seen a democrat use. saying "transgender ideology" is straight out of the right wing playbook. this is looking more and more like Labour, so I don't want to hear any more shit about how even the transphobic democrats broadly support our rights.
