kind sir, you still haven't answered my question: why are you transphobic?

instead, you've spent all this time talking about elitism, liberalism, narratives, and shared struggles while completely avoiding the actual issue. now listen, trans people are not a "narrative". people who live in their little bubble have absolutely no idea what trans people go through in this country: family rejection, homelessness, unemployment, violence, harassment, humiliation, and routine dehumanisation. and then someone like you comes along and reduces their lives to a "narrative" or a circus created by rich people.

by the way, how exactly does @Cockroachisback's Janta Party defend this? because its spokesperson still hasn't answered a very simple question.

and if you genuinely don't have an answer, that's okay. read more. listen to trans people. educate yourself.

calling me elitist for asking you a simple question is not an argument. it certainly isn't heckling. but it is people with views like yours who have helped push queer and trans people to the margins of society in the first place. you still have no answer beyond dismissing their lives as a narrative.

so i'll ask one last time: why are you transphobic?

[Yes, We Exist 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @YesWeExistIndia]

Be it BJP, INC or CJP. All parties are united by transphobia and trans erasure! This is the spokesperson of Cockroach Janta Party @VijetaDahiya saying genderfluid persons are those who are rich, bored and without any purpose hence they experience fluid gender. @Cockroachisback ⚠️

Advocate Shraddha Deshmukh, Arundhati Katju and Abhishek Manu Singhvi told the Chief Justice of India that transgender persons are being abruptly denied gender affirming care and requested interim relief. But the CJI refused!

no footpaths in Hyderabad
but close to 3 crores for artistic paintings on flyovers

[Revathi @revathitweets]

Trees being felled in the heart of Hyderabad when we are literally getting deep fried in the hot sun.

This is at KBR park just a while ago! Super 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Yes, let’s chop more trees, bulldoze forests & murder anything green to build flyovers and filling in concrete everywhere.

Am saying this again…if anyone touched a single tree in Cubbon Park entire Bangalore would have been on the streets, we are least bothered in Hyderabad.

“Save KBR”, “Save Trees” kind of slogans are totally out fashion in the current political scenario, I guess.

[Stella John @i_StellaJohn]

As a woman, I’m actually happy this was resisted. Women’s representation is not your private gift to Indian women, and women are not props to be pulled out whenever @BJP4India needs moral cover. Parliament had already passed the women’s reservation law in 2023, and the fight now was over linking it to delimitation and a much bigger political redraw of representation. So please stop acting like anyone questioning your version is anti-women. Many of us are simply tired of watching women’s rights being used as packaging for power. And spare us the sermon on trust. This government remembers women loudly when it is electorally useful, but goes quiet when women ask for safety, dignity, accountability, jobs, or justice without a campaign attached to it. As a woman, I am happy because this time, people did not clap on cue. They looked at what was being bundled underneath the slogan and said no.

41 killed in sewer-septic tanks in just 80 days of this year! Hundreds of safai karamcharis from 10 states gather at Jantar Mantar to protest most barbaric caste-based oppression in name of occupation. Join hands and raise voice to make this government listen! #stopkillingus

He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans.

That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference?

The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code

here's what things actually look like

- your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping

- majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life

- they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend

- the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon

- even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real

- your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills

The 1990 blockbuster film Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari, starring Chiranjeevi and Sridevi, celebrated the hero’s slap with a dream song-and-dance number.

The cult of the “mass” hero hit a fever pitch in mainstream Tollywood cinema of the 1990s. The leading man showed off his virility by taking on dozens of goons at once and beating his opponents to pulp but also by stalking, harassing, manhandling, ridiculing and bullying the heroine for the sake of cheap laughs and gags. The sanction to slap was, naturally, a part of this licence.

@aquantummirror here after seeing your tweet about girl on girl by sophie gilbert, this is a really good list of books. I would add them to my TBR and I was wondering if you are on storygraph so that I could add them to TBR easily. xD
