This post isn’t even saying she is trans or that there was any connection to anything irl, just a way to point out how simple it should be to give someone respect. It’s also not a political agenda being supported, it’s basic decency.
And why tf does it matter which Trek was someone’s first? I wasn’t born in the 50s so I didn’t start with the original series. It’s been going on for decades, people can start wherever.
The ‘most progressive party’?? By what measure? Because they aren’t as openly fascist as the Republicans? Kamala has sworn to appoint at least one Republican, to be tough on crime, increase the strength of the military, be as or more anti-immigration than Trump, has shown no interest in healthcare reform, and refused to even consider ceasing the arming of genocidaires. What does it mean to be progressive to you?
I have the same trouble worrying about how much I’m bothering someone when describing some interest I am obsessing on, more people have similar stuff in their heads than you might realize though! I have found comfort in circles that are happy not to be ‘normal’ through art/music and other interests.
Everyone has weird aspects, some people just fit in better than others, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with being different. But I agree, it can be lonely, maybe you just haven’t found the right friends yet?
I definitely feel sadness about this whole sort of thing, but knowing that the person they are accusing of “beating up women” is a cis woman herself, it gives me some hope that the haters will be shamed by most regular people for being so goddamn ignorant and hateful like usual. It doesn’t appear to me that most people care much about this stuff, so it doesn’t help the reactionaries recruit much, though a fervent minority can cause a lot of damage.
It could have been an opportunity like they had renovations in the building, an agent disguised as a worker planted it inside the wall or something. Or like a plot on a Sopranos episode, feds snuck into Tony’s house and swapped a lamp with an exact replica with a listening device inside. Definite security failure for a secure compound though.
