Trump's 'extreme' Supreme Court shortlist alarms LGBTQ advocates - As well they should. And yet another example of why some mutants voted for Trump. Nary a person of color in the bunch when it comes to his nominees. No matter. Bring it on. I'm feeling ornery.
Trump's Three Alarming Supreme Court Finalists - And when it's whittled down to three, it's gonna be an ugly fight. And I adore ugly fights. I get to rhetorically throw chairs and get away with it.
Anti-trans group allowed to lead Pride in London march after hijack - In case you didn't hear, a small group of very annoying TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists) briefly interrupted London's Pride celebration with the usual discriminatory bullshyte about how the trans community is erasing women. In the past, I've tried to understand this group. I've talked with a couple of them and read a lot of their literature. And the best way to describe them is how I describe homophobes. When it comes to homophobes, no matter what the issue about the LGBTQ community, it all comes down to their fevered imaginations of male gay sex. With the TERFs, it's all about the penis (particularly seeing penises) and the fear that transgender women want to force them to have sex. No matter how they intellectualize it, that's what it's all about - misandry so high that they view transgender women as men who want to violate ALL of their spaces. It's a lie. A big fat fearful lie.

This Court, after Trump's nominee, is seated, will undoubtedly try and roll back our rights and protections. And not just LGBT!! Women and people of color will see it too.
I spent decades in the closet (including six years in the military) and I will be DAMNED if I am going to stand still for this shit! I will fight and resist with every breath I take rather than acquiesce to the extreme right wing.
Saddest thing about the pride march it was the 70th anniversary of the National Health Service in Britain and the march was meant to be a celebration of Out healthcare workers, who were supposed to be in front.
Don't think it's entirely misandry with these women- personally I think it's just a desire to be on the powerful side in something. You encounter so much sexism as a woman, some people grab any chance to kick down.
