        I mean, is she any less qualified than, like, Maureen Dowd, or Ezra Klein, or George Will, or any one of the dozen other lint-brained pundits that get paid thousands of dollars to write their idiotic drivel for billionaires in newspaper op-ed columns?

          I don’t think I said anything other than I don’t know who they are, which isn’t a value judgement unless you assume “Internet famous” is bad

          Ezra Klein is the only person I’ve heard of that you listed btw. That doesn’t mean much though

      Have you tried the Lex app?

      It started off as a WLW text-based dating app, modeled off of old school newspaper personal ads. Over the years, it has evolved into a queer social media site (with dating as one of its key components.) Highly recommended. It’s where I found my girlfriend. :)

      Okay, but hear me out: I don’t live in fear of rapists and rapists usually don’t fit in the box of “people I fantasize about boning in my dream world where I have some overinflated value.” What if I imagine myself being naked with a woman who used to have a penis? What if people with penises imagine being naked with ME?? I’m scared! I need to vote for a criminal representative of my shittiest expectations again!

      As a woman i honestly wouldn’t care if a man used my bathroom. That’s why we have stalls. With doors. Just leave the seat clean.

      Though why a man would want to stand in a woman’s restroom line is beyond me.

      Being willing to stand in the ladies’ room line is proof enough to me that trans women are women. No one does that for funsies.

    To be fair, a person can be highly upset about Trump and uncomfortable (but much less so) about the transgender bathroom thing. Just a reminder that it’s not a binary world and people are allowed to be imperfect.

      That’s why they said “more upset about”. If rapists running the country isn’t an issue, than someone potentially entering the wrong shitter shouldn’t even be a topic. Just a reminder that mixed (or as I like to call em; regular) toilets exist without issue all over the world. Like since when are rapists stopped by signs? That’s some “you legally can’t steal from me” logic. It’s thinly veiled hostility towards citizens and it’s unacceptable.

      I’m not even trans, I’m just sick of this obsoletely irrelevant topic. People would really much rather punch down at some toothless minority, rather than adress any serious issues.

          Nobody supports or likes Joe Biden. Nobody wanted to vote for Joe Biden. No one is wearing hats and waving Biden flags. That’s your weird geriatric-erotic thing. But Donald Trump is objectively worse in every regard, unless you’re dimwitted and openly embrace an alternative reality (as you do).

            By what measure is he worse? Any specific data points?

            Right now Biden is on track to help Israel eradicate the population of Gaza, has deported 2.5x as many people, set records way beyond Trump for fossil fuel extractions, is escalating wars in multiple fronts, etc.

            By what measure is he worse?

        Exactly. You don’t talk about your own sides crimes, because you don’t actually care about the crimes. It’s just partisan bullshit games.

          Your weirdly adversarial comments only effectively help sow the discord between “red” and “blue”.

          Besides, at exactly what point did I say I picked a side? Hint: I didn’t. I’m me, not some arbitrary label for a box someone wants to shove me into. I don’t what care what label you pick, even “leftist”, the moment you let them assign you to a box, you’ve lost.

            You’re not a very good astroturfer. You have to pick a lane. You wanna accuse me of being divisive, or be divisive yourself and dissuade people from collaborating.

            Red and blue are on the same side. They’re with the fascists. But if you look at polling and voter turnout, most people in this country don’t support either one.

                You don’t need to look at my post history- I’ll tell you openly what I want to do. I want to wake people up to the fact the it’s a uniparty masquerading as two, to keep us divided and prevent a working class revolution.

                I also want to build support for delivering the criminals in both parties to The Hague to stand trial for their crimes against humanity.

                  Your entries in the modlog are all bans for ban evasion and for misinformation.

                  The misinformation bans are for basically parroting Kremlin talking points about NATO, the CIA and Ukrainians self-identifying as Nazis.

                  I also want to build support for delivering the criminals in both parties to The Hague to stand trial for their crimes against humanity.

          If Biden committed crimes, I hope they arrest and try him for it and don’t find stupid excuses like it’s okay if a president does it.

          Your turn. Let’s hear about how Trump should be arrested and tried for his crimes too.
