These are Latin terms which I know from their use in chemistry.

- cis means 'the same side of'
- trans means 'the other side of'

When I first heard these words applied to gender they made perfect sense and are perfectly acceptable.

The Muskrat supreme does not own language. He is respectfully requested to take a flying fuck at a rolling bagel.

war in Ukraine, Russia, please boost 

1/2
So in case you missed it, the mercenary group Wagner seems to have turned against Russia, and by multiple accounts, they entered Russia to little initial resistance and they are planning a coup.

I doubt Wagner poses any serious threat to Putin. But there WILL be attempts to make them the good guys (I already see glimpses of it on soscial media). They're not. They've an extensive history of war crimes.

PLEASE remember that this is bad guys vs bad guys.

"..the embarrassed police were forced into an apology"

I'm starting to wonder if that whole debacle during the coronation not was /really/ a mistake but an operation by the cops to test the water to see just how /much/ fash they can get away with now.

Do not give your real name and address if you need to go to the ER in the US, they must treat you by law regardless.

(Look up EMTALA, and report them if they violate it, it's a HUGE fine for them)

Leave your ID at home and bring a fake ID or make something up when they ask you.

They have to treat you by law.

Unless you like a $$$$ bill.

Same thing with an ambulance company, fake name and address. Because they'll bill you $5000 too if you tell them who you really are.

Bad. Ass.

Annie Lennox was called 'gender bender' as an insult. So she dressed as Elvis for the Grammys in 1984.

She said: "I thought it would be interesting to actually come onstage as a man. Like, 'Hey, you think I'm a man? Then I'll be a man. If you want to feel 'comfortable,' here I'll be. I'll be a man for you.' That was kind of my thinking.”

🍄 Missed your jump over the mushroom?

This shall happen no more!

We contacted Nintendo to address the recurring problem with defective Switch controllers and they agreed to offer all consumers the right to repair, free of charge, even beyond the legal guarantee!

This will prevent the disposal of unrepaired controllers and unnecessary waste.

Hey, trans guys?

You're awesome. In the classical sense.

Why?

You are hand-carving your identity out of a block of fossilized preconceptions that society stacked against you. That's why. I can't *not* be awestruck by that shit. Keep it up. :blobyeengrin:
