(she/her) It’s important to take your time.

@A_Cringelord @airb4gged nominees aren’t out till mid November so the fix isn’t in just yet

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@Rickqiu97 @sandshrewmaoist Given the restrictions in China for gender affirming care, sharing info is the difference between being able to transition and not.

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@FrednGinger3 @datadriven_tdoc I'm sorry what study implicates this?

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@Sebastian_Holsc @foidb0y That’s not what’s being said. Simply put, the danger is Dems getting rewarded for tracking right on trans issues and then doing so en masse and on a variety of different issues. The trickle becomes a stampede, and by the end of it it won’t just be sports.

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@curiouscontempo What trans woman is using the terf dog whistle to refer to herself?

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@Raging_Air Then your interpretation is that his statement is really him saying “I don’t oppose trans women participating in women’s sports?”

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@Raging_Air I’ve never believed it unfair, but are we truly arguing that what Talarico is saying is “this thing that isn’t unfair, I would oppose if it were unfair?” That’s complete nonsense, and would be wholly unconvincing to someone he’s supposedly trying to sway right?

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@Raging_Air What should my takeaway have been then? That this isn’t a walk back? That he wouldn’t vote for that legislation if elected and put before him?

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@Jasephu @StillUnsung Should Dem voters vote for Ossoff for harm reduction purposes?

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@aGuyOnMyPhone Going from “god is nonbinary” to supporting national legislation restricting sports participation and gender affirming surgery for trans youth is a walk back. Especially in the environment we’re in where other Dems efforts to go even further, I think it right to worry.

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@OmzeeP @sneakyuniqueunc @UkeCreature @Genderator @turningmystile That specific issue is something that defined much of my life and fundamentally left me damaged but sure just keep pretending it’s a minor disagreement.

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@birdmoder It doesn’t neutralize anything though. Republicans will just say Talarico is lying and point to that same legislative history. Late triangulation does nothing as demonstrated by Kamala’s 2024 run.

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@itsjvstjade Why should I take Democrats at their word if they’ll just flip flop in a year when they need an easy pivot? Are they are party with values or spineless rats skittering to and fro?

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

holy fuck it’s so much more over than we thought

[Taryn Eames @eames_taryn]

The penalties are:

• transgender identity: −4.1 pp
• non-passing: −4.4 pp
• interaction: −6.5 pp

Combined, the penalty is 15.2 pp—significantly larger than the sum of individual effects. When identity and non-passing appearance occur together, they compound each other.

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

Being trans in the world we live in will do that to ya

[Devon Hardware’s Wife @thatfrood]

some of you have a “helicopter ending of goodfellas” relationship to transphobia

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@Soaster4 @hecubian_devil Referencing the nhs as an example of a health care system that would protect trans care is kind of an own goal for your argument.

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@georgeoisie It’s not the only famous system though, Germany, France Austria, Belgium, and Japan all have multi payer systems with their differences and complexities that are worth considering.

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@CantEverDie why would a multi-payer system not work? how about how about a state managed public option? assuming M4A or single payer is the only way to achieve universal coverage i feel limits our options and our ability to provide healthcare to everyone in the best way possible

[Daphne @FleeingProphecy]

@DiehardDerrick You’re doing the right thing, while it sucks that simply pointing the harm it does to trans people like myself isn’t enough, pointing out the contradictions is important to push back. Even if that contradiction is about how it impacts cis folks, it’s still worth pointing out.
