@chibiseira Thank you Karen 😁

Any issues would be solved faster than you could say 'felony conviction'

The simplest, fastest, most effective way to deal with the morality surrounding women's health and the right to choose, is not to demonize women or health providers, but to put the onus firmly on the one responsible for the unwanted pregnancy... you know... the impregnator!

And again, Gabrielle Blair so eloquently explains simple problems, that people seemed obsessed with making complicated

Part 1: Why Are We Harassing Trans People? https://t.co/pfSZ2wqgkS

[Anne M Reid @she_said_anne]

Do you know who's really scary?
It's NOT trans kids
It's those adults who:
- cannot stop thinking about the genitalia of children
- want to control the lives of minors in families that are not their own
- who fantasize about the sex lives of others

'It's not safe': Parents of trans kids plan to flee their states as GOP bills loom https://t.co/2KOE4YRGIT via @nbcnews

[Anne M Reid @she_said_anne]

The current spate of anti-trans bills says so much about the bill writers' fears, predilections, fetishes, insecurities (gender, sexuality)...
Wanting to inspect the genitalia of young children is a major red flag.
Let kids be to live their own lives.

Obfuscate. Smokescreen.
It’s what politicians do.

Hey! I know. Let’s make laws about trans kids... (helpless minors, who have existed always, cause no harm, hurt no one).
It’ll shift the focus... save us having to work on meaningful laws to mitigate gun violence. 🙄

@1a @alvin_d_hall @bravelygo I was fortunate studying in Australia as student loans managed through gov tax system. Loans not subject to high interest and subtracted from pay once a minimum wage threshold reached.
High debt prevents study of the arts... which is a much needed field for EVERYONE to appreciate

@kayleighmcenany @JoeBiden You can hardly pin the blame on @JoeBiden for unplanned, mass spontaneous emotional outbursts of mirth and joyous relief.

Oh, wait....?!?

With 'Liam's Gender Transition' podcast, I understood the difficulty for Liam's family to immediately embrace his transition

And. Exhale...

[Anne M Reid @she_said_anne]

Feeling very grateful to have exorcised a couple of victim players from my life.

So so so glad not to have to assuage hurt feelings (and plans for revenge) from needless and attention-seeking drama!

Big enormous sigh of relief 😅

[Anne M Reid @she_said_anne]

@wendellpotter You MUST do more to bust the myths you created.
Grew up with Australia's universal health care. Impossible for my US friends to comprehend my disdain of the US system, because they believe the propaganda you fed - over my first-hand experience.

@jk_rowling I was clueless about trans issues until I needed to educate myself for the sake and safety of a loved one.
I did a whole lot of research... which I share with others to aid their own education.

This thread is so beautifully evocative
Inhaling the memories of scents

What is your favorite smell. You can’t say bacon, that’s too easy.

Mine is the scent of freshly showered skin. 😌
