@newsguyusa I'm not sure what to make of a woman using "pussy" as an insult toward a man. If I call her a "pussy", is that a compliment ? I'm very confused.
And I thought the Bad Bunny show was excellent. I knew a few of the words, but I got the message. And great music. Better than the game in fact.

@JackEnrod @newsguyusa or, and hear me out, we could NOT use trans people as a punchline.

What a concept.

Show threadVoid of Tranquillity 🔞Feb 9

@newsguyusa @JackEnrod this comment reads as very transphobic and gender essentialist, which is effectively carrying water for the very people you intend to criticise.

Mockery of trans women, when we should stand by and aid them, is something the far right wants to normalise.

@void @newsguyusa R u implying Kari Lake is trans?
Show threadVoid of Tranquillity 🔞Feb 9

@newsguyusa @JackEnrod no, you (inadvertently, I presume) invoked the trope that implies that one isn't a "true" woman unless one has a cunt

I was alerting you to the fact that this trope exists

@void @newsguyusa Was not my intent. Kari Lake looks manish but rips alternative lifestyle people left and right. Taste 👅 f her own medicine.
Show threadVoid of Tranquillity 🔞Feb 9

@newsguyusa @JackEnrod the thing is that by using these jokes, it's easy to inadvertently hurt trans people by reinforcing the notion that we can be reduced to our genitals.

Sure, it's splash damage, not aimed at us, but it all adds, fragment by fragment, to normalising cultural norms that do harm on a number of levels.

And in the end, she is unlikely to ever see your post. But random trans people already have, and many of us have already swallowed an overdose of this kind of medicine.

Thanks for listening, and I do appreciate that your intentions are good.

@void @newsguyusa Thanks for the thoughtful explanation. This old dog will try to learn new tricks.

@newsguyusa @JackEnrod and thanks for sticking with and reading my explanations!

I genuinely appreciate your effort

@newsguyusa I look forward to "You really ARE a pussy" becoming a compliment, praising people who speak out against MAGA.

@newsguyusa How does this work--she gets a notification whenever a Republican governor (or ex-) posts?
