I think more cis people need to understand it's a battle field out there not a debating class. Their ideals are going to come face to face with the horrible reality of organised hate.
The problem is anyone defending us has to have the stomach for a fight I don't think many of them are ready for.
Most are unaware of how organised & brutal we or anyone who defends us are attacked.
Bots & multiple fake accounts are used to boost the negative point of view & overwhelm any support.

It was just thinking about how many books she gave away for free, and now how the tech oligarchs are destroying books not just for financial gain, but to ruin the way we interact with words forever.
every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

Dems should introduce the Dolly Parton Memorial Act, making the right to do drag a federal law
Texas’s drag ban was found to be unconstitutional this morning and one of the plaintiffs who brought the suit was an Austin-based drag queen who often impersonates Dolly
Dolly was named in the final judgement itself and after hearing about the lawsuit, she sent that drag queen a signed guitar

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

One more great thing about Dolly. She was a paid-up union member — American Federation of Musicians, Local 257, Nashville. And she had been for 58 years. www.afm.org/2026/08/afm-...

Some people are so universally beloved that I think we shouldn’t be told when they die. Let us figure it out eventually but never receive confirmation. We should always be able to idly speculate that somehow there’s a chance they *could* still be alive

the single most serious sign of a culture's poverty is when it starts demanding the abolition of innocence. children should be allowed to be loud and annoying, teenagers should be allowed to be messy and stupid, early transition should give people room to be cringe rather than serious and jaded

There are no trans athletes at a serious competitive level anywhere in the US.
Bans from sporting bodies apply now to amateur and recreational leagues so trans athletes are banned from those too.
So what is there even to supposedly protest?
Y'all won and still can't shut up about it.

Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it.
We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists.
Hope that clarifies.

The people glomming onto the anti-trans campaigns either already know this—many of them do—or are incredibly gullible and ignorant. We should not let people who are incredibly ignorant and gullible direct our principles.

I have no patience for the argument that anti-trans bigots care about protecting women and girls and women’s and girls’ sports. The conservative agenda is to destroy our autonomy and our equal opportunities. This is not a secret. It is the entire point.
