I think sometimes when I try to point out that political violence underpins much of society people hear “violence is good actually”.

It’s frustrating because what I’m trying to point out is actually the opposite. Prostrating yourself lets other people use violence with no checks.

Are you sure about braindeath being a mental condition? My thoughts, confirmed by quick googling, was a medical-legal standard for death based on permanent death of the brain. As a person can otherwise be vegetative/comatosed or whatever, or like a liver can keep operating for a while etc.

As an insult I think it’s meant to be taken as “This is only explainable if you have no brain activity” not “you are like a living human with a different or damaged brain”.

Idk maybe he was like

while getting arrest.

Probs just not rich and cops being jackbooted thugs but.

Not really actually. I think tolerance of trans people is actually going backwards, we have never been understood but until recently we were ignored.

Now there is the moral panic about trans kids and sports empowering bigots and normalising shitty opinions. Basically nobody has (at least knowingly) met a trans person but increasingly they have opinions on us.

Most of the bad stuff is institutional though: police violence, healthcare not funded, discrimination protections withheld, and de facto steralisation to get any degree of protection.

WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE MILLIONAIRES!

When I was being catch and release hunted in leichhardt by some bored fellas who wanted to kill a trans woman the cops couldn’t spare a patrol as I couldn’t be more specific than “Hiding near the tram station somewhere” but they have time for this shit lmfao.

What a fucking joke of a city.
