    The only thing I’d temper this with is that MLs are literally not a problem beyond terminally online spaces, particularly the sectarians you mention.

    Like yeah they can suck but I’m much more afraid of Proud Boys and the liberals that enable them.

    Ultimately I agree with you 100 percent it’s just an exhausting thing to always have to be like “yeah sure fuck tankies I guess” when discussing matters of actual life and death.

    This is kind of a tangent but I’ve always had mixed feelings about his essay about not being gay in a time where there were a ton of rumors around the topic, which relates I think to his brand of masculinity.

    Essentially his point was that if he was gay he would be the most out and loud person about it so that others could feel safe too do the same, and it always stuck me as an easy thing to say.

    But now that I’m out I find it kinda inspiring since I DO get to be that out and loud queer and I would lie if I said his words didn’t inspire that.

    So. Well played I guess Henry.






  • Nobody is trying to convince trans people they need surgery, it just so happens that it’s an effective treatment for dysphoria as has been proven in study after study after study.

    It’s a choice between the patient and their doctors. Perhaps it’s societal, perhaps not. Either way your magical idealism world doesn’t actually exist in real life so it should continue to be a practice because it works
