SNW-La'an > Hernandez Ortegas (I always fuck that up because of EH on ENT)> Una > Chapel (although any of them could probably kick UA's ass)
I forgot about Hernandez. She's definitely butch. (Fun fact that everyone here probably already knows — if Marina Sirtis had been cast as the security chief, Macha Hernandez would have been her name.) I'm not sure about La'an, but maybe I'm getting caught up in a "long hair equals femme" assumption that isn't valid.
Yeah, probably... by the same token it's the severity of that hair style where I'm seeing the hard assed iciness. My vibe is that she's got a bit of fluidity going on, but I think she's more of whatever the girl version of a twink is called. She seemed to be getting a lot of vicarious vibes when she was tagging along with Chappell (who's kinda manic pixie girl who used to be a crust punk), too. Made me think she's more the shy and slightly repressed type... probably a passive sub.
Via The Hill: Rep. Nancy Mace Accuses Ex-Fiancé and 3 Other Men of Rape, Sexual Misconduct in House Floor Speech Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina accused four men, including her former fiancé Patrick Bryant, of sexual misconduct in a nearly hour-long speech on the House floor on Monday, Feb. 10. Mace, 47, who has been the representative for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District since 2021, said, “I rise today to call out the cowards who think they can prey on women and get away with it. Today, I’m going scorched earth. So let the bridges I burn this evening light our way forward," according to a video shared on X. Mace said the "purpose" of her speech was to "make sure these women will never be forgotten, and the men who hurt them will never be allowed to get away with it or hide again." She added that she was ready to free herself "from the monster who broke me," and was acting to attempt to free any other women affected. "In November 2023, I accidentally uncovered some of the most heinous crimes against women imaginable," the politician added on the House floor. “We’re talking about rape, nonconsensual photos, nonconsensual videos of women and underage girls and the premeditated, calculated exploitation of women and girls in my district,” she continued. I can't help but notice that her ex-fiancé does not appear to be a trans woman. Maybe going public with this will help her realize that her anger has been misdirected?
Either A. she own's herself by using these unrelated crimes to slander the innocent B. she's fictitiously accusing people who can sue her for defamation in making these accusations. Also, it's fair to ask whether she has referred these crimes to law enforcement or she's just rolling with "trust me bro"
A couple of sources did confirm that South Carolina's state police opened an investigation into the ex-fiancé after receiving a report from Capitol Police, and that the topic was "assault, harassment and voyeurism."
The US government's Stonewall National Monument website has removed references to transgender people, and now uses "LGB" instead. Feel free to scroll down to "is this article helpful?" and say no. Then give them a piece of your mind on why the "T" matters if you so desire. https://www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm
it's infuriating to know that they stated right out in the daylight what they intended to do and watch the whole legacy media go right ahead and get played like the world's biggest mark until we get HERE, and then be like "How could this have happened?" Christian Right tips to fight transgender rights: separate the T from the LGB
As I'm sure most of us know, the media are complicit. The billionaires who helped Trump win are the same billionaires who own most news outlets. Look at how quickly Jeff Bezos has turned the Washington Post into a modern day Volkischer Beobachter. They now have someone who will destroy every single regulatory commission in the country, giving them carte blanche to sweep up piles of money, and they do not care about any "culture war" because their only culture is squeezing profit out of every last human being and commodity.
Does your brain-self identify as a Nietzschien Übermensch? Or are you just some guy? If the latter, stop projecting your shallow vanity onto everyone else.
Bless our nerdy comrades. Even while systemic bigotry and hatred screetches to be heard, there is someone helping to protect the vulnerable. Mr. Rogers' "look for the helpers" fits here, too.

Horrifying news out of upstate New York. Sam Nordquist, a transgender man from Minnesota was found dead after being tortured for over a month and then finally murdered by a group of 5 people, including a teenager.

So originally the argument ‘you gotta stop them at the trans line’ because they will eventually come for you was meant more like that Holocaust saying. But on the other hand, these fucking idiots are literally ctrl+f deleting grants based only on keywords. So this program about helping special needs HS seniors TRANSITION to jobs or college after HS has been axed.
Biological men standing still, and doing gymnastics. Oh, and I'm never going to call myself a biological man. Just like I'm never going to say Gulf Of America, or call Trump King.
What's frustrating is how this is all so bureaucratic and administrative in its execution. These aren't biologists doing this, or other people of credible science, this is the work of politicians and middle managers complying with unreason because it gives them less trouble from the top down than actually defending people's rights.
Not shocked it's Ohio. Ohio has tried to play itself as a cool hip place for forever, but the past 20 years or so, they've been a bubbling cauldron of all the bigotries.
