Hope your drive was okay! Was trying to send good vibes when you were near-ish

Seriously debating getting myself a derpy stuffy

You definitely think that
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Seems like you two both like pseudoscience.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
I know you think it’s a big insult to say you hope I don’t have kids but it doesn’t bother me that a weirdo thinks I shouldn’t be a parent because that’s their problem and I know I’m a good parent. Good luck dealing with your issues.

People make up all sorts of bullshit justifications for their bigotry. This is one of them.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t understand. Trans girls are girls so they should compete with girls. That’s fair.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
What’s your point?
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Some of us need a minute!
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Having a political party that actually supports trans rights, including the rights of trans athletes, to serve as an a real contrast to the GOP would be a pretty cool place to start!

“Ease them into the idea” sounds like a synonym for “coddle.”
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
If you are scared of someone who lives their life in a way that is different from your own, that’s your issue, not theirs.

If they’re not, they need to grow tf up. I’m done with the idea that hateful people need to be coddled.

No. This is bullshit.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
This has been apparent for … 100 years?
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Transphobic people don’t shut up when you give them what they say they want, they ask for something else. Thats why it’s imperative to not give them any quarter.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
As a girl in sports, I was never asked for an affidavit stating that I was a girl, nor have I been asked for such a thing as the parent of girl children. What a bizarre idea.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
I have been a girl for 40+ years and I have never been asked for an affidavit from my doctor stating that I am a girl, nor have I ever been asked for one regarding my girl children. The “rules committee” can stick their affidavit request in an intimate place.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Who tf cares??
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
It sounds like this room sucks and we should check out a better one.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
No, that’s incorrect. Trans girls in sports don’t infringe upon the rights of girls in sports because trans girls are girls.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s awesome and you should talk about it all the time
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
It sounds exhausting to constantly be on the lookout for “run of the mill drugged out wackos” in public bathrooms. Sorry that you have to deal with a stranger danger obsession. That’s sounds like a bummer.

I’m not throwing *anyone* under the bus. If you want my vote, you need to support trans rights, including trans athletes.

Respectfully, don’t just sit there and hope. We all have work to do.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Tough shit. Find a Democratic nominee who is actually good on trans rights if you want people who support trans rights to vote for them.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
The party has three years to find a nominee who is actually good on trans rights. I hope they do.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Sometimes things that are wrong are popular. That doesn’t make them right.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
We deserve a better nominee than Newsom.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
I think the people who are saying they won’t vote for Newsom are doing you a favor. If you want their votes, you should support someone else as the Democratic nominee.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
That doesn’t answer my question.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Who specifically advocates “not voting as both sides are the same”?
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
When did this person say any of that?
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
If transwomen stopped playing sports today, transphobic people would just come up with another issue to attack trans people. Transphobic people deserve no quarter. Period.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Your kid is not the spokesperson for all trans people.

There are not a ton of publications I’d describe as old media but The Atlantic is definitely one of them.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Got it, thanks for replying. Speaking only for myself, to answer whether an outlet is old media or not, I’d think about whether there’s a print version and how long it has been a publication. The Atlantic has a print version and is (omg) 150+ years old, so I’d say it’s old media.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
I might regret asking but what do you mean? The Atlantic has been around for decades.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
When I’m online shopping and looking at pants, I always look to see if the description includes the inseam. If not, I keep looking.

Even if the job kinda sucks, people are willing to do it when the compensation is high enough 🤷🏻♀️

Why live like this voluntarily?
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
That was arguably the one good thing he did so trying to undo it seems logical
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t understand this question. Is he looking for a cost-benefit analysis?
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Ok but that’s not bad

My brother explained that carbon monoxide molecules are heavier than oxygen molecules so they fill up the house and that’s how people get carbon monoxide poisoning. That resonated with my father and that’s how he learned why you shouldn’t do that. Being intelligent =/= being smart

My father has two STEM doctorates and was a university prof for ~35 years, inc. several years of service as dean. When he lost power during a winter storm, he ran the generator in our closed garage (!!). 1/

I feel badly for this mom. I remember feeling incredibly vulnerable postpartum and the idea that her husband is berating her when she’s healing from having their baby makes me feel livid.

A parking lot is more dangerous for kids than a public bathroom.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
You *gotta* check for bombs every time.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Shit happens but I try to worry about things that are more likely and stranger danger type incidents are pretty rare.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
“Run of the mill drugged out wackos” just chilling out in public bathrooms waiting to pounce on children. A totally normal thing to worry about.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
Like this doesn’t make any sense. Why would a person do this? There’s no logic here.

Living this way sounds exhausting
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
He knows what he’s doing is wrong. That’s good but it doesn’t mean anything unless he changes is behavior. His wife just made their baby with her body. Treating her like shit is inexcusable. He should beg for her forgiveness and dedicate himself to doing right by his family.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
She’s never going to develop confidence in her skills as a parent with this asshole yelling at her

I’ve been in plenty of no-shoes houses where the homeowner did not warn me ahead of time. For most people, it’s a non-issue. If it would be an issue for you, it would be smart to check with the host.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
My clothing does not constantly come into contact with the ground outside so that’s a silly comparison.
Kat Z (@katzindc.bsky.social) reply parent
If you have a specific unusual condition that means you can’t take off your shoes, you should confirm with the host that that’s okay.
