QAnon fights imaginary cabals
Explained in Will Sommer’s ‘Trust the Plan’. To its followers, QAnon seems to explain the world. It’s also their community. Normal policy can wait until the vampires are vanquished.
What is a Bible?
You already know, and you already know what a woman is too. We don’t have to keep asking what ‘transgender’ essentially is, nor what ‘woman’ or ‘man’ essentially are. There is no essence. But we know what they are.
‘Radical gender theory’ is itself a social construct
The people who’re making it up do not have good intentions. This isn’t a serious intellectual project. There’s no scholarly substance. Chris Rufo just wants to organize the right-wing to make noise and hurt LGBTQ people.
The right wing wants to stop adults from being trans
Knowles: ‘You have to ban transgenderism entirely’. Michael Knowles wants to ban people from being transgender. His ‘love’ for the Kansas bathroom bill is because it ‘aggressive[ly]’ excludes trans people.
Anti-trans bills encourage far-right violence
That may be the intent. It sure looks like the outcome. The far-right wants the support of the center. The center has anti-transgender legislative campaigns. The far-right perpetrates anti-transgender violence.
Why is the far-right ever more intensely anti-trans?
Because they’re bored by finally winning against abortion rights. Fascists oppose trans people because they find difference threatening. Being anti-trans is fundamental to their politics, and it predicts what comes next.

The ‘But why do trans…?’ questions often just ask about being human
Of course humans will disagree with and disappoint each other. So where are we going together? What’s the ultimate goal of all our values, judgments, opinions, discernments? What’s the end game we’re playing? Where are we going with all this change?
You are not seeing things. You are seeing change.
‘Trans’ is very broad and it is a construct, and I am grateful to learn from this. The benevolent trickster walks the path of unfolding tricks. We are tricked. We are surprised. We leap. We are foolish and wise.
European medical orgs: Trans kids need access to puberty blockers
Organizations in three European countries recommend trans kids’ access to gender-affirming care. Therapists can’t help you get feelings & identities you don’t & won’t have on your own. For lots of mainstream medical orgs, this isn’t controversial.
Let me tell you something gorgeous about regret
We will begin but this path cannot end yet. We don’t know how to exist without the way it was. The well has never been so deep. We’ve just wandered into it again.
What will the Log Cabin Republicans say about the second Trump presidency?
I can hardly wait to find out. Maybe it will even find a way to benefit a gay person somewhere. Today is February 6, 2025. A few things happened since Trump was inaugurated on January 20. Log Cabin is telling us that he loves and respects LGBT people.
