Maine's Judiciary Committee voted down House Bill 1735, a shield law for transgender people fleeing other anti-trans state laws, after the cosponsor asked for his own bill not to pass.

    Reminds me of a conversation I had a decade ago about “reverse rape.” It’s just rape. Academic study of racism hasn’t made “power+prejudice” the de facto definition and, as a result, it’s ostensibly racist to say “white western take.” I say this, once again, while agreeing with you.

        Just came across this post randomly, and I’ve gotta commend you on the dryness of your wit. Saying something so patently absurd and hypocritical as

        You can’t be racist against white people

        while keeping a straight face. Quality comedy.

        Or you’re just a racist piece of shit.
