I'd like everyone to know that when Trump says that two genders/sexes will be policy, he's not just talking about erasing transgender, nonbinary, demigender, agender, bigender, trigender, polygender, pangender, and all the others, he's also talking about erasing intersex people. He's erasing feminine cis men and masculine cis women. He's talking about erasing everyone who ISN'T cisgender and DOESN'T conform to traditional forms of gender expression.

And if you're part of the community and think, "This won't affect me because I am cisgender in a traditional way!", you're wrong. Once they finish with the gender parts of LGBTQ+, they're coming for you. They hate you just as much as they hate them.

There’s a reason these people are fucking stupid and proud of it.

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

Central to the film is a reclamation of the Orpheus myth, a version of which the three young women read aloud together one night. Sophie registers distress at Orpheus’s fatal, selfish incompetence in looking back at Eurydice when he was told not to, and Marianne suggests he may have done it on purpose, preferring to lose the woman and savor, instead, the romance of his grief, making not “the lover’s choice, but the poet’s.” But it’s Héloïse who removes, for once, the fixation on Orpheus, his failings, and his loss. What if, she says to Marianne with an edge of defiance, it was Eurydice herself who chose art over staying together, who rather than leave the underworld with Orpheus, stopped and called out “Turn around,” preferring to remain down there and be preserved in poetry. A kind of freedom and a kind of permanence, rather than, as eighteenth-century marriage looks to be, an unwilling exchange of one for the other. —  In Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Love is a Work of Art

They can't pass any gun control because it goes against the constitution.

But they can revoke the citizenship of people who were born here, which goes against the constitution.

They never cared about the constitution.
