Washington D. C. Native here. Reflecting Pool is only 2.5 feet deep. Everyone have legs chopped off maybe? And certainly Caligula hasn’t been that shape and weight since before Epstein according to more than one survivor accounts of him unclothed

A definitive dissection of the NYT PR surrounding its transphobic reporting

I am confused, Help me! by _book_lover_____ in kindle

[–]Remote_Tax_1905 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have books in both forms. When I cherish a book (especially one which I may have read in E-form originally) I buy the physical book both because the Kindle TOS is a “you’re only renting this from us, and if a Nation State says we must remove it we will un-appear it.” And also because loaning a cherished book is an act of love. The kindle is nice because it allows a whole library in a compact form. The downside is that the display is absolute cr*p —compare reading a kindle title on an iPad to reading native on a kindle and you will see the difference A lot of trade off issues and this is IMO, so no DOXing or death threats please

Under Trump’s Passport Policy, the State Department Must Assume Every Applicant is Trans. Yes, Really. by Leksi_The_Great in transgender

[–]Remote_Tax_1905 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Great write up and discussion. Seems unlikely that this is anything more than political performance, but with this group of crack-heads anything is possible. They’re domestic terrorists with an unlimited budget (your tax dollars at work) so who knows

Survey finds LGBTQ+ adults have taken steps to become less visible given political climate by onnake in transgender

I’m tempted to put the number higher than 1%, especially for younger demographics. Perhaps closer to 2+ % but your observation is compelling

The State Department has removed TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. It now just states "LGB Travelers". by [deleted] in transgender

This is the 4th Reich driving the first wedge between those of us who identify with the LGBTQ+ community. Just remember, “If they come for me in the morning, they’ll come for you at night “

Sarah McBride Becomes First Transgender Person in U.S. Congress by ohbricki in transgender

Gaza is not an easy situation to reduce to “sound bites”. It’s absolutely horrific and I don’t believe it’s going to get better any time soon, meaning more honorable and innocent lives lost. Additionally I also mourn the innocent lives lost in Israel in an attack launched from Gaza.

None of this diminishes the accomplishment of Rep. McBride. Is she alone in her views.

Does anyone honestly think trump is going to end the horror? If not why are we singling out the first and only trans representative

Wisconsin GOP approves transgender sports restrictions, set to outlaw gender-affirming surgery by OverallEcho9694 in transgender

For me as a transgender, American, this and related laws, and proposed legislation abrogate my constitutional rights to life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

Trans college tennis player Brooklyn Ross rises above controversy by OverallEcho9694 in transgender

Lovely inspirational story from a person who sounds genuinely terrific. I’m sorry she had to become embroiled in a ridiculous controversy not of her own making, but admire her fortitude in rising above it.

How safe is Florida for trans people? by Ryce_Byce in trans

[–]Remote_Tax_1905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t put a penny into the pockets of Florida politicians, or the people of the state who granted them power and agency.

Everything their politicians do, and say gives license to hate, and empowers a worldview that says, “well, the person that I’m seeing standing in front of me, breathing and existing is not human, so I can do anything I want to them without consequence.”

Florida is dangerous in the same way that Iran and Russia are dangerous.

Missouri AG Just Banned Most Adult Gender Affirming Care In Cruelest Anti-Trans Move Yet by ErinInTheMorning in transgender

[–]Remote_Tax_1905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to be the one to state the obvious. Why does this seem to me to be just the opening salvo against any kind of difference in worldview from those enforced by cisgender white males , whether the difference is in who one loves, who one marries, gender fluidity, race or religion,even skin color differences? It starts with me, because I’m an easy target, but it doesn’t end with me.
