Is the bill 'moral grandstanding' or 'grossly inadequate'? Use your words dude. You don't just have to agree with a guy who has the exact opposite view as you just because his words can vaguely mean the same thing as your views.

Or to put it another way 'you don't gotta hand it to em'.

as i already pointed out, it was very much moral grandstanding by the liberals yes. someone you thoroughly disagree with being correct is literally the meaning of the stopped clock is right twice a day saying. this is not very complicated thinking.

Moral grandstanding (because the law is ineffective) and moral grandstanding (because I think the thing the law suggests is bad is actually good) are not the same point, I think, even if they have some of the same words.

I like that this person says they wanted a nerd child because nerds are smart and make money, no mention of them being happy

ofc the rest of the article makes it clear that their child's happiness was never a priority

I hate my husband and now I hate my kid because they're doing stuff I don't find interesting, why is everybody else making such terrible choices??

Also what the gently caress is a "straight queer"? While yes technically you can be both of those in a couple of specific scenarios I have to assume she doesn't actually mean those.

There are certainly ways you can fall under the LGBTQ+ spectrum and also be straight, but I would bet money this person couldnt come up with a satisfactory answer without google

I imagine it's just someone queer friendly while being a bog standard cishet. Oh you wear rainbows? You must be one of those straight queers. Or she might be classing things like asexuals as straight, because if you're not gay you're straight, and not having a romance partner doesn't mean you're not straight you just haven't found the right person yet.

Yeah like if you were trans but also hetero that I think is technically "straight queer" but if she doesn't think trans people are real then that is what makes me wonder what she means by it, and I doubt she has even begun to conceive of ace/aro/etc

It's a way of saying "asexual and possibly also certain nonbinary people I dislike don't count as real queer people"

e: also possibly saying bisexual people in straight relationships don't count either.

This is terribly lovely, and she's obviously a lovely person and worse parent. And while I won't hand it to her, the final line "if I want to be bored I'll talk to my husband about aspect ratios" was pretty good.

nobody cares


the most :smith: part of picking apart transphobic parent screeds is the often-sincere belief on the part of the author that they're in the moral clear because just trying to save someone from becoming targets of an oppressive system these transphobes drat well know they've helped rig against people they've Othered throughout their whole lives.

"Oh son, if only you knew how hard I've made that life for you!" Boomer, they loving know how hard it is, more than you ever will, they've been living it, and even still they've concluded for themselves that living authentically is better.

There's also user in the comments under the name "straight woman" who seems particularly overzealous in defending the author. I wouldn't be surprised if they turned out to be a sockpuppet, lmao

Don't actually go to the article or the comments, though. It's all the same tired "hey I'm trans and it sounds like you're being really lovely to your daughter" "trans people aren't real, i'm praying 4 u" bullshit

It's a good dunk on him but man is it telling. Yeah all my husband's interests are dumb garbage I can't possibly care about and my kid is also always interested in new dumb garbage I can't care about but it's supposed to make them rich, not queer! How could this happen to me!

nerds are like cute little accessories that make you money, but now my loving kid has decided they're a person with like emotional struggles, and that's bullshit because I remember when they were five and said paw patrol was their life and they don't care about paw patrol at all anymore and this is the same thing

I'm a good and loving parent by which I mean I haven't told my kid they are dead to me to their face, only by my actions and implied statements. Really I'm the victim here.
