If you haven't already joined Bluesky, Musk neutering blocking on here is another good reason to come on over.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

One of the biggest functions of blocking is giving women the ability to stop weird men from constantly making them uncomfortable and scared. So of course Elon had to change that.

@sykesJbrayden I mean again, your position is/was that trans people shouldn't be able to participate in sports, which is inherently a discriminatory position, and Bluesky users tend to have *very* little tolerance for transphobia.

[Wonkish @captainwonkish]

@sykesJbrayden While there's potentially some sports where it might make sense to not gender them, letting trans people participate doesn't mean you're doing that, especially with the regs in place, and especially pre-puberty.

@sykesJbrayden Sorry, most were still opposed to it in 1993, it was a bit later than that*

@sykesJbrayden Aside from how an issue polls doesn't determine bigotry or not (interracial marriage was only supported by most Americans in 1993), here's the thread I wrote for you to answer the question you asked me, before you deleted your entire account before I could post it:

[Wonkish @captainwonkish]

@sykesJbrayden 3rd, ironically if you're concerned about trans women theoretically having an advantage in terms of sport, you should be a fan of kids being able to get gender affirming care, including puberty blockers, because that means trans women won't have gone through male puberty.

[Wonkish @captainwonkish]

@sykesJbrayden 2nd, while it is possible to do gender affirming care if you've gone through the wrong puberty, puberty causes changes to the body that are much more difficult/sometimes impossible to fully change after. No amount of testosterone causes the breasts you grew to just fall off etc.

@MJisMAGA @TrumpDailyPosts @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy @DOGE He's a terrible pick, and none of these agencies are obscure or secret, you're just very ignorant.

@Ubiquiti @Ubiquiti Hey, any idea when the UCG-Max-NS will finally be back in stock in the UK store?

[Wonkish @captainwonkish]

@Ubiquiti Hey, can you tell me what your patch cable jackets are made from? PVC? TPE?

[Wonkish @captainwonkish]

@RespectfulMemes Please come join Bluesky.

[Wonkish @captainwonkish]

@benryanwriter 1. You're literally not even on that list. Definitely consistent with the quality of your "reporting" though.

2. That list doesn't say everyone on it is a literal Nazi.

3. If you don't like that Bluesky has moderation lists that you can be added to, maybe just don't use it..

[Wonkish @captainwonkish]

@BrianEdwardMKE @mcmoynihan Nope, just a lying grifter.

@himanshu_30gg @S_Insley_H Welcome to the actual real world where people believe (false) claims without bothering to check if they’re true.

@S_Insley_H @roopikarisam You’re just wrong.

Harpo was paid to run a livestream event the same way you’d pay a production company to run a rally and now everyone thinks celebs sell endorsements. Oprah was not paid. The internet is a machine that devours trust.

@dianakruk @CampbellJa97630 @BlondeMAGAinNJ @RadioFreeTom That's because it isn't, the COVID vaccines weren't even available when she's supposed to have died.

@danielr70992417 @_AllforNaught_ @BlondeMAGAinNJ @RadioFreeTom VAERS reports are literally government data, but they inherently aren’t causal.

[Wonkish @captainwonkish]

@BlondeMAGAinNJ @RadioFreeTom If that’s true, then it would be easy for you to provide medical evidence of that, right?

The real virus is covered in spike proteins, and unlike the ones your immune briefly sees then destroys via vaccination, the ones from the the real virus are used by it to infect you.
