I was hoping his last parting words were F*ck you!
Using objectively correct language should not be political…we cannot dumb ourselves down for the people who never have the vocabulary to even qualify for the conversation. Every person who’s ever screamed at me for using pronouns used at least 2 pronouns themselves in their pronoun rant.
Thank you for your service & for your letter. youtu.be/5BNj-BneTNI

ONLY WOMEN CAN BE PREGNANT. ONLY WOMEN CAN BE PREGNANT. ONLY WOMEN CAN BE PREGNANT.
"woman" is an umbrella term and "adult human female" is actually far more complex than any binary definition you can provide. there is ZERO fucking reason why this matters and that fact you dumbshit MF have decided to make it matter so much people actually get fired for it is beyond GD pathetic! FU!
A 12 year old girl that is forced to carry her rapists baby is a GIRL, not a woman.
The biological transition from girl to woman is primarily marked by puberty, which usually begins between the ages of 8 and 13.
You think 8 year olds are women?
The key word is BEGINS. A child is not a grown woman just because she begins menstruating.
ONLY FEMALES CAN GET PREGNANT.
And wow! Your WHOLE profile page is filled with nothing but lies and hate towards trans people. You need psychiatric help or you need to be locked up because you’re a menace!
Wow, you can read! But sadly, you're unable to comprehend what you read. Sad.
Pre-op trans MEN can get pregnant. Tell us you haven’t picked up a science book since 1970 without saying you haven’t picked up a science book since 1970🙄
I think we're all on the same side of this issue and I think you've both made excellent points. Thank you.
I was making a point about the importance of language, not the age at which one can become pregnant.
...I think you sound like a terf?
I don't have to guess what you are.
A trans ally? Abso-fucking-lutely! You're welcome to start trying slurs, but I'm not like a basic ass bitch (like all transphobes), you're not likely to find the right ones, haha 😁🌈
If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's probably blocked and shouting into the void. (And also a transphobe and misogynist, ew)
You were also making the important point that the words woman and women are being erased from the language. I hope the comments on girls, recognise trans premature sexualisation of them (handy for kiddie fiddlers) teaching them to hate their bodies before sterilising them. Saying ‘women’ is a right.
I ended up being called a pedo. 🤣
Endless infantile projection onto women. Protecting children is really its opposite. The medieval Christian church believed that sin entered the world through Eve’s sexuality. We’re exhorted to rise above it. (Irish Priest fashion?) Trans just generalised from copulation to biology.
ONLY FEMALES CAN GET PREGNANT ONLY FEMALES CAN GET PREGNANT ONLY FEMALES CAN GET PREGNANT
Keep saying it often enough and you MIGHT even con(Vince) yourself.
You should probably see someone about your cognitive dissonance.
Only biological females/women/young girls can be pregnant and menstruate. Zero, 0, none, zilch trans women can bear babies and mentruate. Why? Because they are biological males. You can say otherwise as many times as you want, reality won't change.
You missed the point entirely. Identifying Men can be, and have been pregnant. Live with that.
They are still women, because men cannot get pregnant.
Only in your tiny non-inclusive brain. The world is way too complex and varied for your tiny capacity brain to cope with, so you try to deny things and people that are beyond your capacity to comprehend. 🤡
You don't get to identify as a woman. You're either born female or male. It's simple, which is why you lot try and complicate it to the point where you can't even define what transgender is, apart from it being a feeling. Well, the rest of us don't have to go along with that fantasy.
No. You just have this fantasy you can control other people's lives.
We can control whether they're allowed in our spaces. How they live otherwise is up to them.
Tell me which "space" you own? Maybe a TERF club? Doubt they'd want to join.
Who is we? You don't speak for me. And who is they?
That isn't even biologically true. Intersex and non-binary people are statistically as common as redheads. Male, female, both and neither; all out there in the real world. But sex isn't gender. Gender is how you present your identity, and the organ determining it is your brain, not your genitals.
Comparing intersex with redheads? LMAO. Redheads are male or female. Non-binary doesn't change whether you're male or female. Gender is not determined by your brain or your genitals. It is a social construct. Now off you go.
Syndicate is so utterly bereft of any ability to understand logical arguments.
I said the existence of redheads and intersex/non-binary people was statistically similar, you vapid spoon. Redheads, like anyone else can be male, female, non-binary or intersex. Your gender is understood as a social construct, but it is expressed by you, in accordance with your identity.
"identifying men" = biological woman.
That's a new one. Did you forget how to spell BIGOT and NAZI? Seriously, this shit isn't working anymore with anyone but a tiny minority. Signed, A Democrat who voted for Harris.
Only in your tiny non-inclusive brain. The world is way too complex and varied for your tiny capacity brain to cope with, do you try to deny things and people that are beyond your capacity to comprehend.
ad hominem yawnsies. I don't blame you tho when it's the only tool in your kit.
Explain it to us fools, who can get pregnant and give birth? I am desperate for new information.
Anyone with the necessary anatomical bits. No matter if they identify as man or woman or girl or furry.
So only women. You can’t “identify” anatomical bits. Fucking idiot.
If you can't identify "anatomical bits" then how exactly are you going to exercise your bigotry? Are you going to challenge anyone who doesn't look like a woman? Oh, it seems that is shag you hateful bigoted are doing already. Not not only trans women suffer. All women are game as targets for you.
See. FFS. I really don't care about your fact denying delusions any more. Fucking tiresome wankers. Go fuck yourself! (Though you'd probably argue that's not possible)
How people have become so dumb in one generation is astounding.
Anyone with the necessary anatomical bits to get pregnant are called women or females, that is biological/natal women or females, not the trans women as they are biological/natal males, and males can't get pregnant. That's why zero, none, zilch trans women can get pregnant. Trans men are females.
Why do you think that trans men can get pregnant? Why do you think that zero/none/zilch trans women can get pregnant? Take all the time you need to think about it.
Trans men can, and do get pregnant.
Trans men can get pregnant because they are... biological females. Hope this helps.
Sorry you are incapable of understanding the distinction between sex and gender.
It seems that I understand the distinction much better than you. Only females/women can get pregnant and menstruate. Zero, zilch, none, trans women can get pregnant and menstruate, because they are biological males.
Clearly you are confused. It's trans men that can and do get pregnant.
TRANS men are biological FEMALES. Hope this helps.
Only in your simple, can't cope with complexity universe are you not able to cope with the separate ideas of sex and gender. Either that or you are a gross hateful bigot.
So, you can acknowledge that gender and sex are different. That's a good start to understanding that TRANS MEN can and do get pregnant.
Pre-op trans MEN can get pregnant. Try to catch up with SCIENCE because it has clearly left you behind.
If trans men can have babies it's because they are.... biological females. Try to catch up with science and reality.
Sex and gender are not the same things. Try to catch up with science and reality.
They’d rather hold onto willful ignorance and unwarranted hatred.
Trans men are women.
Trans men are trans men. Trans women are trans women. Gender (man vs woman) is a social construct. Glad I could help you sort that out.
You clearly don't know me very well.
Gender is masculine vs feminine behavior. That’s a social construct. Dress however you want. No one cares, Man vs woman is sex. Two. Biology. Immutable in humans. We have laws and accommodations based on sex because of safety and fairness. Glad to help you understand this.
They’ll never understand because they don’t WANT to understand. They love being willfully ignorant and hateful. I was explaining gender affirming care on another site and a bigot said ‘fk the science.’ Which is why I now block or mute these morons. We’re not dumbfuck whisperers.
Genders are a social construct limited only by the imagination of the human brain. That's how you already got 70+ genders and counting. Sex is binary and is based on biology and science.
How do you explain that ZERO trans women (hint: biological males) can get pregnant and menstruate? I know, logic is difficult.
and some trans men!
They're women, dear.
Even if a transgender man passes perfectly as a cisgender man and it'd be literally impossible to tell the difference without looking in their pants?
Yes. They're born women and stay women.
So, can you explain how is this a useful thing to say about someone mostly indistinguishable from a cisgender man? Can you explain what practical, useful effect it has on the world to look at someone who looks and behaves exactly like a cisgender man and go, "that's a woman"?
It is linguistic manipulation and a request to deny what we see in front of us. No one is advocating it as a public shaming, but it's important to understand when people are disowning their sexed reality.
Again, we established as this scenario that what you're seeing in front of you is someone literally visually and behaviorally indistinguishable from a cisgender man. So, can you explain what useful purpose calling such a person a woman serves in the actual scenario being discussed?
Please review this thread, which began with a doctor using the term "pregnant people". I corrected that to only women can get pregnant, then - because someone suggested that girls who are raped can get pregnant - I added only female people can get pregnant.
Yes, and, you have yet to explain any actual pragmatic, useful, tangible purpose to insisting on the term "women" for transgender men or non-binary people. You've given me purely ideological reasons that nobody without the same ideology is going to give a s--- about, but no objective reasoning.
This isn't even much of a hypothetical, to be clear, as I certainly can trivially bring up pictures of transgender men that would be nigh impossible to identify as not cisgender if you didn't already know they were transgender.
They ARE people, right? Earrings.
They're women first or they're unable to be pregnant.
Fuck science ✊🏼
Fuck idiots ⬆️⬆️
Senator Cassidy. Come get your boy. You said you wouldn't stand for changing vaccine policy. He lied to you. You lied to the american people. You knew. You're a cowardly maga slime.

It's just unfortunate that this is the ONLY part of his scathing letter maga will ever see. The entire letter touches on so many other horrible things RFKjr is doing to destroy the scientific integrity of the entire HHS, and it should scare everyone! 😵💫 share.google/OxUxnbtey5Rd...

So refreshing to see actual character and dignity
#CDCHeroes! Thank you @drdemetre.bsky.social for speaking the truth!!!
Daskalakis: that’s what a HERO looks like.
Well, good.
I am grateful on a cellular level to every person with a platform who displays courage and defies this malevolence. Thank you, Dr. Daskalakis.
I'm sure that Leavitt's comments about his words led to this discussion, but here's a shout-out to him for pushing it back into their stupid, stupid faces. The GOP needs to Grow One Pair and shut down this BS. #ButtSnorkelers: Stop delivering BS for Orange Julius! #Epstein #Stable_Genius_My_Ass
I don’t agree with erasing history but these 4 years should be erased. If they are taught they should be told the truth. Unlike what we did with the civil war.
This is the correct way to respond to the attempted demonization and erasure of Black people, immigrants, transgender people, people with autism/disabilities, homeless people, etc. Perfect response. #resistlivesdependonit
That pundit Jennings on CNN made a huge ordeal about the term he used so he could totally avoid discussing the real issues about the CDC and RFK Jr Its clear that CNN endorses his smug behavior and he is a complete Trump sychophant😡
CNN knows it gets 6 more viewers which doubles their numbers.
I think they are actually losing viewers because of Scott. I know I stopped watching.
absolutely. I've written to them about him and how Abby allows him to talk over everyone, absolutely everyone. they continue to ignore our pleas that he be fired.
What was the note about?
And to think. The whole world used to look to the CDC for leadership. Until Trump and RFKj made it great again.
He's making a pretty good case to be CDC director or Surgeon General under the next administration.
I love how you're using your platform to defy erasure and assert your identity, even in the face of adversity. That takes a lot of courage, and I'm grateful for your service and your conviction.
Well said!
And, women are people!

👌👏👏👏
Thank you for supporting the human race.

That is inclusive and powerful.
Why are so many people content with pretending that they don't know what a woman is ?
These fuckers are Nazi fucking bullies and they did not stop Trump from being a child rapist.
I respect that they acted on their consciences but damn! We need one hell of a lot more help now.

Ahh that makes sense. Is it why Jeffrey got a clause that no conspirators could be arrested?
😝 There’s always more to his crooked origin story.
Yes. He's got Antisocial Personality Disorder because his father was an abusive alcoholic who died from Alzheimer's.
Most likely.
I mean, yeah
The good leave, the bad remain, holding the reins. We are in trouble. Overdue to jettison the felon & his band of degenerates. Support CA redistricting!

Good for him🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
This is the moment when CNN anchors realize they can’t pretend anymore that Trump is just quirky.
So….. what now?
Thank you, good sir, for standing up to this fascist regime! Bravo!
The term is "pregnant women".
I like “pregnant people” because it forces male OB/GYN’s to see women as fully human.
I strongly doubt that it has any such impact
Does it, though? Replacing the word “woman“ with the word “person“ will do nothing to change the mind of a chauvinistic OB/GYN.
God, men are weak.
“Woman” is othered to a male brain. “Person” is the same thing he is. It’s a subtle difference, but an important psychological difference.
HUGE. Many men simply LITERALLY do not consider women to be people. Or human. You can tell by the way when they use the word, “people,” they’re always talking about men.
As in, “people won’t mind if women pay a bit more for health insurance.” (Yes, a direct quote from a Republican politician).
Exactly. If you are an obgyn interested in fees associated w/childbirth, you don’t give a 💩 about other women. I swore off going to obgyns until I was wanting to breed. Instead, I gave my insurance 💵 to planned parenthood every year, cuz they gave a 💩 about actual reproductive health. 30+ yrs.
Reticently went to ob with my son. I asked pp of dc why they couldn’t guide me through the process.
IMO it's a start- I'm in for terms like people, person, fellow human vs. cis, trans, LGBTQ+, democrat,republican, right, left, woke, snowflake etc to counter djt's schoolyard name calling that even media has adopted
Refusing to acknowledge women as people is a red flag
It at least forces them to verbally acknowledge that the human in front of them is an actual person.
Interesting.
At least it covers girls too and makes them human.
I’m always surprised by how many people object/react to the words pregnant people. I agree with you. And I also support language based on facts. Which includes the fact that transgender men have been pregnant & given birth.
I like the term "pregnant people" because I want conservatives to grapple with whether or not a pregnant ten year old girl is a "woman" or not.
That's because they're women not men
You sure do have a nasty transphobe mouth. What else do you like to do?
Make true statements that reflect objective reality
Never thought about it that way. Good point.
It absolutely doesn't.
It also separates the idea that all women are mothers.
"pregnant people" also serves to acknowledge that trans men can be pregnant.
MAGA hothouse flowers 🌺 so fragile. They worship a fat crook who’s not agile. He teeters and tots, as his body rots. Surrounded by sycophantic bots.

People will resist using preferred language until public opinion is that trans and nonbinary people exist and deserve to live free. Until that happens, they’ll keep falling back on “my pronouns are…” jokes and “whutz a wummun?!?” Keep advocating for respectful language, but also (—>)
Keep offering opportunities for trans folks to be seen and heard. Show them there’s nothing to be scared of. These have always been your neighbors.
That’s pretty fucking bad ass…
“I don’t care” Righteous.

Yes. Add unnecessarily to stereotypes. Just put your degrees and credentials. It would go further. This other nonsense just contributes to the bullshit and idiocy of the other.
So I was banned permanently from TikTok for sharing content creators stuff … commenting release the files …. Living in China/ Russia without having to move.

Time for a General strike. Support the C.D.C. Workers.
Freedom of speech should include freedom to be yourself.
rightwingers: but women aren't people!
The freedom and small government people always seem so eager to legislate the things people do with their own genitals.
By erasing women? Genius.
Who’s teaching you how to transphobe? You do that while hiding behind a fake profile with a fake pic. We see what you are!
Meh. If I looked like you, I'd hate women too
Go on, tell us more about how pathetic your life is. Educate yourself and learn respect for others.
Lol, "educate yourself" Take that pseudoscience and stick it in your "bonus hole"
That sounds like fun!
Stop being a bell end, Wayne.
Ha! I had to look that one up… Bellend is the shape, on some men, of the end of their penis, where the head has a bigger diameter than the shaft. It is a positive trait for sexual gratification because it enables greater internal vaginal stimulation. Gotta love British slang.
No one is being erased.
Really??
Just block this clown and move on… my 2 cents
It's ironic that he decided to cloud his important message about the threat to science by indulging a silly anti-scientific pretention that erases women from pregnancy.
GOP platform: Old? Sick? Poor? Damn, don't look at us. We hope you all die.
I’m not sure what’s so courageous about saying pregnant people, it just sounds kind of dumb
Huh? They are people who are pregnant. There is not a single word for that. People who act are actors. Maybe people who are pregnant should be pregnatites. Pregnators sounds too much like the other person in the pregnancy equation. Pregnant people seems to be the best descriptor.
Well, I guess since men can’t get pregnant, then a pregnant person is a woman so yeah
Also girls (who are not women) can become pregnant.
The semantics are fucking exhausted
You assume that all people identify as either a man or a woman. That is simply not today's reality. Even if you don't like that reality. Other people choose words that respect people's chosen identities.
I don’t assume all people identify as whatever but I fucking know for a fact that only biological female are having baby. You can pretend whatever you want, but that’s just the way it fucking works. And it’s a good thing because men are too fucking emotional to be having babies.
We need more patriots like this speaking truth.
I love this good Greek boy! 🇬🇷
Yes.👍 This is the way.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
While I admit to rolling my eyes at "pregnant people", it is good trolling.
Bravo, Doctor D!👏👏💯💯🔥🔥💙💙
We have the power not them, we outnumber them, we can remove them before it gets worse. Doing nothing is going to get us all dead. Resist, rise up and make the change happen.
I really respect this guy's style.
#CitizensResist
Sir, you are an Honorable man! Thank you for your bravery! Thank you for standing up for what you believe and know for a fact(s)! The CDC keeps us ALIVE!!!! ARE THEY TRYING TO KILL US SO THAT THEY WILL BE THE ONLY ONES ALIVE? WHAT THE FUCK?????
I wish good people would quit resigning. Fight! I understand it is not always an option, but there is always a way to overcome tyranny.
Love this.
His letter means nothing Trump supporters do not read nor do they care Daskalikis weak spine? Trump will fill his place with a unqualified kneeler He and others that quit Each position open now allows another Trump supporter to subvert the American people even further America is dying from weakness
Trump Cabal: OK, all you smart people, GET OUT! Let the MAGAMorons in.
A genuine American hero.
Maga snowflakes are so weak, they can’t even handle pronouns.
They can handle any lurid act or statement that Trump dishes out, but can't cope with the words, "pregnant people." We are really living in the Upside Down.
It's almost like one is a reaction to the other...
They hide behind religion as their response to this accusation.
Pregnant people erases the word women. Women exist as a biological, social and political class of humans separate from males. No matter how any of us dresses or cuts our hair. Don’t erase women to accommodate those females who have a need to erase THEIR womanhood.
Why would they all leave? Be the voice of reason. Resist from inside. MAKE them fire you! RESIST!!
RFK, Jr. is a roid junkie
I’m loving this Dr.! What a way to support we the people. 🫶🏼
“I don’t care”🤣🤣🤣💕
“I don’t care.” Followed by such a loud silence 😂

If you live in one of these districts, PLEASE go vote in the special election ~ Virginia's 11th ~ September 9, 2025 Arizona's 7th ~ September 23, 2025 Texas' 18th ~ November 4, 2025 Tennessee's 7th ~ December 2, 2025
I fully expect a statement from RFK anytime now that announces that leeches are making a comeabck.
SCOTUS enabled this and although they see the outcome of the rulings, they do not retract them. Even when the long-term consequences become obvious—such as societal harm or escalating divisions—the Court rarely takes steps to reverse or retract their decisions.
Trump is putting Americans at great risk of a medical disaster. Is this intentional or just stupidity??
Doctor Daskalakis made the CDC communication around mPox more open about communicating about sex and harm reduction with mPox. Too long our culture has been prudes with sex. The CDC really should have stressed that erections could be affected by COVID. More men would get the vaccine.
Well actually I guess we can’t really call them men. We have to call them “people with penises“. To be inclusive.
That’s a great idea!
He's very specific. And funny.
Thank you, sir. ❤️🩹

This was an excellent interview and they are amazing American public servants. Here’s hoping Americans make a decision to put the country back on track so that these scientists can return to do the work they have done so well.
european-security.com/the-cesspool...
I think his comments about eugenics with Psaki are very powerful and should be headlines across the world. This is the basic idea driving all of this Trump administration including going after women, African Americans in high positions, immigrants etc. etc. Hitler drives Trump’s beliefs.
He’s going after African Americans. PERIOD. Documented with him & his father being found guilty of housing discrimination against us in the 1970’s. His abusive behavior towards women has also long been documented. All he’s done is add to the list.
Trump’s daddy was a slumlord klan member. He takes after daddy.
💯🎯🎯🎯🎤
He is also clearly going after disabled people.
As I said he’s adding to the list.
It was reported that Donald only had one book on his bedside table, Hitler's. So, yeah, he's going after people of color. Also, what did we expect from a person who's brain had a live in worm that feasted on half of it.
Reported by his first wife no less. RFK, Jr. is also a self entitled embarrassment like Trump. Simply spectacularly awful people.
It is RFK Jr that had the live-in brain worm. I find your comments confusing.
Was trying to kill two birds with one post. Didn't mean to confuse. First paragraph was about Donald. Second paragraph was about RFK.
Yeah there were rumors about this in the 80s. I read about it in Tina Brown's Vanity Fair Diaries. She also gives a negative account of a young Boris Johnson.
I totally agree with you! www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
TRUMP'S PHYSICAL (AND PERHAPS MENTAL) HEALTH IS QUESTIONABLE. PLACE HIM UNDER THE CARE OF "Dr." R. F. KENNEDY Jr.
Kaitlan Collins has normalized Trump's crimes since day one. She is front row at every rally, every press conference, every Air Force One flight, and hosted the first interview (town hall) after J6. Trump claims to hate CNN, but she gets to ask her softball questions every day. Susie Wiles favorite
Yes more of this. Tell them to fuck off.
Hero.
the unfortunate part of people resigning ant not standing up means rump loyalists will be put in place. There will be soo many it will be very hard to find them all and remove them. They will become like spy's and blend in when it is over.
Caitlin once again taking it all calmly.
You are my heroes.
#Idontcare PERIOD
Someone elsewhere made a point I hadn’t yet considered re: controversy over the term “pregnant people”; it’s not only women who get pregnant. But also 10 yo girls. Would MAGA have us call them women? “People” encompasses not only transgender individuals but girls as well. 1/2
MAGA has no problem with 10 yo girls being forced to give birth, as we’ve seen. Maybe MAGA’s reflexive use of “pregnant women” needs to be weaponized against them. What if “and girls” gets added every time they insist on “pregnant women” language? They might start using “people” themselves. 2/2
Just to keep people from being reminded of the fact that they’ve returned us to a horrible place where horrible acts are done to 10 yo girls and that trauma will be compounded infinitely by being forced to give birth in 5th grade.
Thank you! Women 1) are not the only ones who can be pregnant; and 2) are PEOPLE. I’m tired of having my humanity denied. The fact that I am a PERSON and would like to be acknowledged as such should not be controversial.
Who else can get pregnant? I mean, really?
Um…: children, for one. Intersex people. And yes, trans people. The fact is, and it doesn’t change, is that insisting on calling human beings “women,” is that it dehumanizes them, others them, and makes them nothing but objects and incubators. It’s inaccurate The people who insist on it do NOT
Accept that women, and all other pregnant people, are HUMAN BEINGS. With wishes, goals, achievements, complexities, and rights. It insists they are THINGS to be used, and denies their humanity. ONLY someone who has no humanity themskeves and doesn’t see a pregnant person AS a person could
Say, “even in life or death situations, we do not believe you have a right to live.” Could use and torture the body of a DEAD woman for months. Could say, “well, you should die. That’s what mothers are supposed to do.” Could call them a “host” or an “earthen vessel.” Could deny them the right to
Have a DNR. Could imprison them for a miscarriage. Could say they shouldn’t vote. Or be allowed to have a job. Or divorce. Or that they have a “right” to “marry” at 10 years old. Or would force a rape victim to carry that evil spawn of satan, and be chained to that rapist for life, could tell a
13-year-old, “you don’t look 13!” Or, “you need to take responsibility for seducing” a 22-year- old. Could call children “underage women (again, dehumanizing them, denying their humanity), could tell a child they weren’t raped and trafficked a prostitute. Could elect a child (and adult) rapist.
Xould tell a group of extremely accomplished women who worked hard that they “were lied to,” their accomplishments are meaningless and their only value is to get married and become “submissive” to a man. Complain that women “dominate the conversation” when they speak HALF the time. Tell someone,
“People won’t mind that women pay more for insurance,” that “non-sexual time spent with a woman is a gift for them,” and a huge sacrifice for the man. Only men who don’t see women as a human being could be the GREATEST threat to the lives and heath of their intimate partner. Especially if she’s
Pregnant or tries to leave them. Could insist that they “owe it to the country” to have more children.

I am’
Using the term pregnant people is stupid and self destructive. It alienates most people and is disrespectful to women. It's a perfect example of the left setting itself back through arrogance and stupidity.
Pssst. I’m a woman and many of the people in my life are women and we don’t need you telling us how we feel - THAT is disrespectful. Take your trans hate elsewhere.
I didn't tell women how to feel Stop lying.
I have no problem with people using whatever pronouns they want but I agree, pregnant people? No. A judge in 🇨🇦 referred to a female rape victim, not as a woman but as a person with a vagina during the case. That’s literally reducing her value of who she is.
Translation: "I'm no transphobe, but I get mad when a cis person is reduced to the sum of their parts." lmfao - do you even read what you type before you hit enter, or are you just as surprised as everyone else?
It’s not me that is bringing parts into it, though. I don’t care who people want to be. But don’t strip away other people’s identities to make someone else feel better. Just work on building those new identities.
Those are a lot of words announcing that you're merely a misinformed transphobe, but okay. 🤷🏼♀️
Very male style of writing.
womp womp
thank you
100% agree, it's incrediblyshort-sighted. The trans issue likely cost the Democrats the last election. The question now is will it be *the last election*.
What pushed voters away from Harris, albeit not toward Trump, was Gaza and not trans issues, skippy. Hope this helps.
"According to an analysis by Future Forward, a Democratic super PAC, "Kamala is for they/them" was one of Trump's most effective 30-second attack ads, shifting the race 2.7 percentage points in favor of Trump after viewers watched it."
Hope this helps, Skippy.
womp womp
Um, no. The main shift was Gaza - not in her stance per se, but of her refusal to *listen* to those who supported the Palestinians and to end the genocide occurring there. Had she put her listening ears on, the swing toward Harris would have been far greater than a meager 2.7 points, skippy.
That's certainly an opinion, and you're certainly welcome to it 👍
Well, I tend to follow more in-depth analysis, such as the University of Florida Election Lab Environmental Voter Project (and others), and not MSM, the latter of which often loses sight of the bigger picture. But you do you, skippy.
The truth is there wasn't a "shift". It was Democrats and left leaning voters that stayed home. The Democrats hadn't come through for voters so voters stayed home. High prices were a huge factor - which the Dems ignored. Gaza was not as big a factor as she people claimed.
The "Did Not Vote" group avoided the election because of Harris and Gaza - not due to her stance per se, but because she didn't *listen* to others regarding her position. Big fucking difference, skippy. However, don’t let a little thing like facts cloud your judgment on how things actually work.
why not both? Not a US voter, but absent the overwhelming priority to vote to keep out fascism, I would've had trouble summoning enthusiasm for a candidate who supported both genocide in Gaza AND rolling back women's rights.
Perhaps, but I don't knock those who vote their conscience (I'm not saying you do, however). I'm sure most saw Trump as a dingus, but I don't believe the "Did Not Vote" groups saw the shitshow he's now put on display. It's embarrassing.
embarrassing is the least of it. I do believe everyone's doing their best (even if I strongly disagree with them) so I don't like knocking or judging others, but my God, do I wish more people had voted or voted differently.
Same. Be well.
lmfao - no it doesn't, ya ding dong.
Shush
bite me
Bigots taste terrible, don't recommend
haha thank you!
Fuck off you bigoted dipshit.
It may be a fad, in which case it's not worth arguing over; it may become generally accepted, in which case it's not worth arguing over. I do sympathize. My friends use a wide variety of terms, some of which I dislike. I do my best to shake off my irritation and move on, but it's not always easy.
Ok I think what’s being imposed on the American people by RFK and his non-scientific no nothings by decimating the CDC is SURVIVAL of the FITTEST including babies, elderly, handicapped and probably obese. Are we going to stand for this insane man to kill us?
All-in-all DJT mk II is gonna purge the US Federal Civil Service of millions of person-years of professional expertise. How will this make America great again?
The dismantling of the CDC reminds me of when Trump was handling his COVID Pandemic. Many, many people died under his watch due to his incompetence. Makes me believe Trump & Kushner have invested in Funeral Home stock & refrigerated Trucks again!
To a certain extent, likely, but not convinced. Thinking maybe, it's more in real estate.
Heroic
dems wanna die on 80/20 issue to appease blue hair people who do pronoun check ins because they weren't allowed at cool parties in college and now have taken over HR at every fortune 500 company
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What? What the fuck does that even mean
Trump's idea of destroying any ability of truth to progress forward for the people he claims to serve makes it easier to take away true Americans and make America a total defeat for his future as King
Fck gop
I wouldn’t die on that sword- it’s like .25 of the 1 percent that are trans, right?
hear hear
The Dems refuse to learn. Luxury-belief in-group virtue-signalling like this is what lost the last election, and it will lose the next one too.
Better to lose all the transphobes.
QED
To all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) WORKERS-- we appreciate your courage. 😍 💐💐💐
Sorry, but only women can be pregnant. It is a fact of lifr
Been a hot minute since I was able to feel some kinship with any 'akis': euxarchistoume.
❤️
Another sad 😔 day for America 🇺🇸 as they continue to strip our democracy away.
Bravo!
I hate where we are. I don’t want to judge people. Trump judges all of us, and I refuse to be like him.
If you hurt children, you deserve to be judged. How we treat our children as a society says everything about us.
If I judge him, I will cultivate hate at this moment. So I choose to love these children and fight against every politician who is in the pocket of the NRA. Fight is so much better.
One is not exclusive of the other. I can judge and fight at the same time. In fact, that judgment makes my will to fight even stronger. Rapists of children deserve no quarter in any part of our society. Period.
Some people deserve to be judged. If you support trump, you’re not a good person. End of story.
Nitpick: extraneous word "good."
Period!!!
This is the way 👏👏👏
Thank you 🤌
Dr Daskalakis and I will probably never meet, but despite that he made me feel like a person for a few moments and I'm thankful.
You don’t feel like a person? That’s what I don’t understand. I’m not being snarky. But I don’t get it. You’re a living breathing communicative entity walking the Earth. How can you not feel like a person”? What else is there to feel like?
Dehumanizing is a thing for a reason: the constant grind of hearing that you don't or shouldn't exist takes its psychic toll on everyone exposed to it.
dehumanizing rhetoric and policies towards a group of people can make members of that group feel dehumanized. it’s not exactly difficult to understand.
I’ve been called all sorts of names in my 55 years. How I choose to see myself as my choice. Not dictated by others. Stop letting them win.
you seem a bit self absorbed
You’re making this about you
Then you don’t understand what trans people are going through. On his first day in office, chump ordered all fed agencies to stop recognizing the existence of trans people. Republikkkans have 658 anti-trans bills circulating through the country. Texass is trying to pass a bill that makes being trans
I literally said I don’t understand it. I cannot put myself in the shoes of a trans person and feel it. I am a woman, so I’ve had my fill of having to work twice as hard to be ignored twice as often as my white male peers. So I get that. But I don’t feel dehumanized. I’m not unseen or a victim.
Until then, shhhh
When you’re government says don’t recognize YOUR existence, then you’ll understand 🙄
transgender a FELONY. The constant hate especially towards trans women is dehumanizing.
When you are literally called a “creature” by a graduate level professor, are told by the government that you literally do not exist, are called, “defective” and “deformed” consistently…. Yeah. , and told constantly that your only worth is in being a servant….. yeah, that takes a toll.
Oh you mean like women? Girls? Our whole lives? At some point, you have to stop being the victim, and toughen up, and stop letting other people dictate how you see yourself. And how others see you. Victimhood emboldens them. Stop letting them win.
Um…. No. However, being called an “earthen vessel,” and being told, “women aren’t people,” and, “your only purposes for existing is to have babies and be a slave for a husband,”— you get the idea that men do not see women as actual human beings. And unfortunately, many of these men are in
Charge of our government. And they are doing things like refusing to allow a dead woman (whose death they CAUSED, btw) to be buried with dignity. They are taking away birth control. They are forcing 10-year-olds to marry. They are taking away the ability for women to divorce, and to vote. And to
Have a job. They USED that woman’s dead corpse to grow an embryo. Against her will. You DO realize that DNRs are invalid if you’re pregnant? You can’t divorce while pregnant Yeah, those things impact women. Daily. And are yet more ways women are told they aren’t human beings and men despise them
You are completely ignoring that when people who have legal authority are telling you these things, it’s not about “how you see yourself.” It’s about how you are ALLOWED to exist in the world, and being punished, often legally, often physically, and even killed for it.
This feels like you may be having main character syndrome
Are you telling everyone how to feel?
Who is the “you” that you’re referring to? Are you saying that to all trans ppl? The language we use isn’t always about ourselves, sometimes it’s a way to shift the world to seeing an othered person as well, a person
The “you“ I was referring to was the person who I responded to. The specific person who said those words.
Sometimes the othering, dehumanization, delegitimization, etc. makes me feel disconnected from people. I'll feel more like a ghost, or a non-human animal, or an intellectual exercise, to name a few. It's been especially difficult since the shooting.
MsEvelyn, I’m truly sorry you feel this way. Pls know that there are many of us who have your back and would gladly give our own lives to save your skin (no hyperbole, I totally mean it!).
I’m tired of ppl living in fear or not feeling they are worthy while these dickheads & racists mfers think they can prance around dictating who can live w/ peace & who needs to go into hiding. Well f*ck them. I’m over these f’ing bullies. The best way to deal w/ bullies is to punch them in the face
Agree 100%
👊
Yes yes yes
I'm sorry.
terfs like tots are incapable of empathizing with this
Sending a virtual hug from an aunty in Canada.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Noice.
He America get sick and die… RFK jr.
Yes.
I remember the days when the term Ms. was controversial. “Freedom isn't free. It costs folks like you and me And if we don't all chip in We'll never pay that bill Freedom isn't free No, there's a hefty fuckin' fee And if you don't throw in your buck o' five Who will?“. Team America
Who gives a shit what words he uses? He had expertise and is an asset in his field. Being run by a bunch of absolute imbeciles and cranks from the top down.
Oh. We are quite aware of he existence of trans people.
But erasing biological women is okay apparently. Bunch of clowns. Only women/females can get pregnant and menstruate.
Beautifully said, Dr. Daskalakis 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The Administration said he used the word "people" instead of "women" and that could not stand! 🙄 They're pissed because he called women people. 🤷♂️
Thank you Mr. Daskalakis. I applaud your integrity. The inmates have the keys to the asylum and can't govern effectively because they're delusional. This song calls attention to the crisis. Please pass it on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqgY...
We must never ever let these Republicans lead with a new narrative on the daily..outrage gets us nowhere we need to lead daily with our own narrative.
Include people with disabilities, non-straight, all non-whites and only people who claim to be Christian.
This administration very clearly have their knives out for trans people. Only the very unobservant, stupid or duplicitous would deny it. The best thing we can do is to vote these assholes out of Congress next year and out of the White House two years after that.
FAMOUS QUOTES; "Christians, get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore, you know what? Four more years, it’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians" Candidate Donald Trump youtu.be/gE7xoHJkgvE?...
And there stood KaroLYIN LEAVEitt, saying Trump doesn't want people who says words like "pregnant people" around anyway... Ya. We know, KaroLYIN'. We don't want to be around you, either. And, news for you, bebe, there's more of us than there are of you.
Good on you Daskalakis 🙌🏽💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🥹
The Trump Administration is quite literally government of the morons, by the morons, for the morons. We need to make sure our voices are heard in the 2026 midterms. Steps need to be taken NOW to protect the vote.
I added my pronouns to my IG profile tho I’m a Gen x cis for the same reason
Same here.
