A few yrs ago I dreamed I met @paulscheer. I'd spent hours listening and laughing along with his podcast, so it wasn't like a random dream. A few yrs later he published a great book. And wouldn't you know it, the book was a great fit for my podcast. Some small dreams come true.

"Trans women are women" simply means people believe in the legitimacy of trans identity and experience. As a slogan I agree that it has downsides. But the claim that it is SCIENTIFICALLY inaccurate to say "trans women are women" is, itself, not correct according to science.
Replying to @LDS_Dems
As Democrats, we cannot ask the world to take us seriously on science-driven issues like global warming and COVID-19 if we all line up behind such an obviously unscientific view that trans women are women.
The average person sees right through it and we lose credibility
Question for Word experts. I am editing a podcast transcript, and the transcript software I use puts timestamps in before every transition. I want to know if there's some sort of macro I could run in a word document that would remove all of these automatically.
I was befuddled by Harris's strategy. But it all makes so much more sense now.
This interview was an object lesson on the professional left. No accountability, no candor, and no broader concern for the country. We lost, oh well. 🤷🏼♂️

Matthew's 12yo kiddo asked him the exact same question in the exact same words that my 12yo asked me the day after the election. What will happen? Thankful for his response. A terrific collection of thoughts to discuss with kids. And honestly, adults.
Transphobic accounts get blocked. Been blocking a ton of people this week because Musk turned this app into a playground for transphobia.

Thank God for ij

For me, this isn't a political question. I'm neither a strategist nor politician, or even a Democrat. It's a basic-human rights one. That's why I won't abandon trans people, and others like them, just because I might get laughed at. 20/

Say something positive about trans folks on here, it's like sending out the Bat signal for The Worst People

I've ended a friendship over politics because those politics involved a denial of the basic humanity of other people I love.
Replying to @jkimballcook
I've never ended a friendship over politics but one of the best ways to be an annoying friend is to act entitled to people's friendship and respect

This is the historic Provo Tabernacle. After it was wrecked by fire in 2010 the LDS Church announced it would be restored into a temple—the faith's most sacred type of building. The chief architect over the project helped create a miracle.
She was also a closeted trans woman.🧵
