@michaelscherer @JamieBonkiewicz Michael, thank you so much for the gift article! I read the whole thing & found it very illuminating. Some of the things people are saying here are wild, but I can see what you were going for & can appreciate it. Not sure whether I’m in the minority, but I hope not!

A "gender critical" artist set out to do portraits of 100 "detransitioned women" nearly 2 years ago. I suspected it was taking her so long (she's only at 56 worldwide) that some subjects would begin to drop out (change of opinion? Retransition?) and so it has turned out to be. 1/

Ben Shapiro originally wanted to film Lady Ballers as a documentary, but he realized that basically all women’s leagues would require them to do hormones for a year.

Commit to the bit, cowards. If you really believed in your art, you wouldn’t be scared of a little method acting

I need people to understand the racial implications of this, the history of colonisation in the Pacific, the fetishisation of our bodies and how this impacted a generation of Pacific Islanders in school (and continues to influence ppl). Also the fact that she knew him at 8 years

If I Were Going To Commit A Genocide

If I were going to commit a genocide, I’d make sure to kill as many women and children as possible to eliminate the future generations of the people I was trying to wipe out. Come to think of it, I guess I’d do what Israel is doing in Gaza.

If I were going to commit a genocide, I’d deliberately target civilians and civilian infrastructure to make it harder and harder for the undesirable population to survive. Actually, one good example of this would be what Israel is reportedly doing in Gaza today.

If I were going to commit a genocide, I’d make sure to target cultural centers to destroy the history and culture of the population I wished to remove, taking out their museums and ancient religious buildings. You know what? I suppose I’d do pretty much exactly what Israel is currently doing in Gaza.

Another thing I’d do if I were going to commit a genocide is make sure to kill all the best and brightest members of the population I was trying to exterminate — their doctors, lawyers, academics, journalists and thought leaders — in order to prevent any reconstruction of the civilization I was trying to stomp out. In other words I’d do what Israel is presently doing in Gaza.

If I were going to commit a genocide, obviously I’d have to make sure all my main underlings were on board for the operation, so you’d probably see them spouting genocidal rhetoric all the time in support of those plans. Kind of like the way Israeli officials have been talking for the last two months when discussing their operations in Gaza.

If I were going to commit a genocide, I’d also want to have a plan to drive the undesirables who couldn’t be eliminated by mass murder off the land I wanted them removed from. You’d see people in my government frequently discussing plans for ethnic cleansing, in very much the same way you’re seeing such discussions over and over again among Israeli officials and thought leaders.

If I were going to commit a genocide, I’d keep attacking the undesirable population with extreme aggression while pushing them further and further toward a foreign border, eventually forcing other nations to either take them in or keep allowing them to be slaughtered as I rain military explosives upon their continually shrinking living space.

Either way I get rid of the population I was trying to get rid of, and I can repopulate the land I seized with a more desirable sort of people. In other words I’d do exactly what Israel is clearly doing, in plain view of the entire world.

1. Today, explicit alleged text messages from two accused teenagers were presented in the trial of Brianna Ghey's murder.

These messages reveal the broader social harm that transphobic hate is causing. Anti-trans hate must end.

The Guardian deleting its translation of Osama Bin Laden's letter to America which it had on its site for over two decades, and put on it a year after 9/11, because he mentioned the US support for the genocidal Israel regime shows how pathetic the Western media class really is

1. Amazon is in a world of legal hurt — I just read the less-redacted version of the FTC’s monopoly lawsuit. Lots of evidence of Amazon execs knowingly screwing consumers & killing competition, aware of their own wrong-doing.

A few highlights. First, destroying evidence.

A 10-year-girl picked up "It's Perfectly Normal" when at the library. She showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father. (1/3)

For the first time, a randomized controlled trial has been published regarding gender affirming care.

The treatment group receiving care saw a 55% reduction in suicidality, compared to 5% of control.

I detail the results in my latest article.

Holy shit. Abbott has installed these circular saws in the Rio Grande. Migrants have already been caught and died in these “river walls” and this is clearly meant to hurt and kill more.
