Seattle Times Columnist Resigns After Paper Scrapped Trans Sports Column

Good riddance, found the spiked article got posted on substack from another story and it's transphobic horseshit

Some people saw bigotry. I saw bravery.

I saw a teenage girl speaking up on an issue that so many adults shy away from.

...

There were no slurs hurled. No malice detected. It was just Wilson, an Eastmont High student in East Wenatchee, demonstrating what some have trouble accepting: that agreeing with Cunningham’s position does not make you transphobic.

Just nonsense.

Okay, I'm not really sure what you're arguing at this point.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rape

1: unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against a person's will or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception

Statutory rape is rape, by definition. I'm done with you now, and I hope you stop promoting pedophilic arguments like "the child wanted sex". Have a nice day.

What's your favorite song lyric?

For me it's probably:

"Don't you do it
You're not even you yet"

I first heard Otep's Perfectly Flawed when I was early in transition and deeply suicidal. I'd already been hospitalized for it a couple of times. And then I heard this song and felt like it was speaking right at me. I'm still alive. Still depressed and working on it, but alive with the intention to continue. I don't know if the song actually helped or if it was all the other things I've tried, but it still resonates fondly for me so I'm comfortable calling that lyric my favorite.
