Well, since men are responsible for most crimes against women Trump has gotten rid of the problem by reclassifying men to be women. It's this kind of bold leadership that's gonna maga or something

He has a long history of claiming every accolade he can. I'm sorry, she made her gender preferences clear, she has a long history of claiming every accolade she can. Next she will invoke the out of africa hypothesis to claim to be the first african american president.

The refusal of MAGA conservatives to take the reality of biological spectrums and ambiguities into account baffles me, but like all dogmatic, black and white ideologies, I'm pretty sure it arises from fear and a deep desire to feel safe. They don't care about (and aren't really aware of) the harm it causes, because they surround themselves with other miserable, fear-based thinkers, some of whom are shoving their true selves down as far as they'll go to avoid revealing that they themselves are ambiguous in some paradigm-threatening way. It's a miserable way to live, and I don't think we'll ever be free of people who think this way. But we'll cut their numbers significantly if we can find a way to heal people's fears.

i’m glad to see so many scientists make fun of the executive order but not sure they’re actually be listened to!

Not by this administration or any of their followers. But the rest of us are listening!

Also, as Donald engages in their own gender affirming care out of fear of appearing, I'm guessing old and beaten down, they are also engaging in a lot of internalized abelism imo. We have no medical records or info on their physical or mental health besides what they lie about. Donald is far more intellectually and physically disabled, which isn't to be made fun, than we all know and it's decline is inevitable but, like FDR who hid his disability, I predict we will see a much more angry Donald trying to cover up his. Less time golfing and fewer public appearances will come, which we should honestly fear.
