@groupguard305 @KimberlyP75625 @MeowcyVT @AaronzeUltama @GeneforTexas @TexasGOP Which part? The fact it’s unverified they were friends?
Paxton offered a plea deal that amounted to 1 day in jail with no sex offender registration, but the judge made it 60 days, and he was released after serving less than 30.
It’s absolutely disgusting any way you slice it.

@Diana_S60 @socfemoz Religion has nothing to do with racialized beauty standards, Diana.
When people visually police women’s bathrooms based on subjective biases rooted in eurocentric beauty standards, it leads to the disproportionate targeting of cís black & brown women.

@Diana_S60 @socfemoz No, that’s not what it means. It’s not merely recognizing average difference between the sexes.
Bioessentialism is the idea that biology dictates social roles, behaviours, capabilities, etc. It’s the reasoning Victorian patriarchy used to deny women property and voting rights.

@idofeelbonita @fiercepatricks @FXPatriotTrader Asexual queer relationships exist.
But the fact you can’t fathom romantic relationships having value outside of reproduction is a cynical worldview, that heartless, ignorant freaks like you project onto those who won’t live in shame of who they are.

@Diana_S60 @socfemoz They laundered the Christian conservatives’ image & passed anti-obscenity laws that disproportionately targeted minorities.
Just like the “we can always tell” TERFs ignore how bathroom bans disproportionately effect Black & Brown women based on racialized standards of femininity.

@Diana_S60 @socfemoz And we ALREADY know the harms of allying with Christian conservatives from the feminist sex wars.
Anti-porn feminists allied with the Moral Majority, etc. It fragmented feminists’ collective power and undermined women’s sexual autonomy and reproductive rights.

@NsfwRoh @ribbitthehog @omgsidewalks You’re conflating economic crime with individual pathology. Poverty’s a major factor behind theft & everyday violence that makes up most crime. Rape’s driven more by power & psychology & occurs at EVERY income level.
An extreme example doesn’t erase decades of large scale data.

@NsfwRoh @ribbitthehog @omgsidewalks I mean, crime definitely exacerbates poverty.
But decades of research shows caring for people’s socioeconomic needs reduces crime. Causes of crimes are multifactorial, but you can’t deny the data: poverty and social disadvantages are the most consistent predictors of crime rates.

@oxford_moron @RobertH10101 @nyaraVT Nice projection, but your math still ain’t mathing.
Deep red states consume more trans porn per capita than blue states. Do you think Mississippi and Alabama have more pride attendees than New York and California?
You’ve lost the empirical argument like 5 replies back. Take the L

@oxford_moron @RobertH10101 @nyaraVT If only “the gays” are watching it, how does a red state with fewer gay people consume more trans and queer porn per capita than New York or California? The only way your argument works statistically is if closeted conservatives are driving the traffic, lmao

@ribbitthehog @omgsidewalks What “facts” have discredited that reducing poverty reduces crime?

“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

@BioAndy2 @chochlo @askmomaitv Gender incongruence =/= gender non-conformity.
Gender incongruence is not assigned by others. Adults can teach children the language to describe their own experience, but they do not assign transness to them.

@BioAndy2 @chochlo @askmomaitv Some basics:
Gender and sex are distinct yet interrelated concepts.
Gender incongruence (trans) is the misalignment between one’s natal sex & inherent gender identity. Transition (social, legal, and/or medical) brings them into alignment.
Most sex characteristics are mutable.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI violated Canada’s privacy laws and, at one point, was generating more than 6,000 sexual deepfakes every hour, according to Canada’s privacy commissioner.

@oxford_moron @RobertH10101 @nyaraVT Also, while NC passed anti-trans bathroom laws in 2016, trans porn was trending in the state.
And states with some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws, including Mississippi, have among the highest rates of queer porn consumption.

@oxford_moron @RobertH10101 @nyaraVT Porn consumers’ political ideology is equally distributed across the spectrum. Meaning that conservative men are consuming the same amount of porn as liberal men.
