Turning all y'all in. Right, bitch. Bitch. Also in transphobia, damn, it's not a good day for the trans today. Entire library board dissolved over one picture book.

And today in What the Fuck, Grindr's CEO says the app will be AI first and not in the business of politics. And also in What the Fuck, Nicki Minaj ends her career. Do any of you queens, let's talk about this bitch first. Get her out of the way. What the fuck? When did that happen? I mean, it slowly went progressing. I saw it. I feel like it happened over the weekend, like on Friday. And it happened, like it started hitting social media on Saturday morning.

Because at first I thought it was like AI. I did too. I was like, there's no fucking way. But then more stuff started coming out. And I was like, oh, this is real. This is real. I literally thought it was AI. I was like, oh, that's funny that they would make that because that's where she's headed. And then it's like, oh, no, it is real. I'm like, what? She's getting paid. She has to. Are you that broke, Nikki? Right. You can't use that amount of money to go and talk to the ex-wife of an

individual who talks so much shit about you. Right. Mm-hmm. I mean, I think her career is that way. I think that's where she is. Because, I mean, I used to be a Nicki fan, not a Barb, but I liked her rap. And, like, the last, like, I don't know, two, three albums, I was like, these are stinkers, in my humble opinion. I thought they sucked, and I didn't like them.

Like, that one that she keeps, it's on her profile, the one, what is the last one? Chung Lee? I don't know, that weird pink graphic where she's, like, in heaven or something.

I don't know. but i'm like girl this whole album sucked the whole album sucked and like that fucking that bigfoot shit when she came up to megan i was like oh yeah that was like the worst like i don't even care that you're at the point that where you're talking about people's dead mamas but like the rap sucked it sucked so bad it sucked so hard and it was just like you have fallen so hard from like, like charlie kirk said the monster verse but that

was peak though yeah there's no there's nowhere we're going there's no we're up so i think i don't know maybe it's maybe it just wasn't me maybe everybody else fell off the barb train because she doesn't have instagram anymore it's been deactivated oh wow it's been activated since october i think oh wow i think she knew she was i think she knew she was gonna go into this and probably doesn't want to hear people and i've looked at her twitter too and it's like it just has like shit

that's pinned and it's just like anything that's actually updated and everything that i've seen that is like oh these are tweets from Nicki Minaj, I can't find them because she's like either like deleted them already or I don't know what. Like the ones about Gavin Newsom, I couldn't find them on her own account. So I'm like, I don't know what is real. Exactly. Because like, what the hell is she saying and what is she saying? And like, also like, if it's not backed up on her social media,

then like, was somebody... Putting AI? Right. You know what I'm saying? But with the interview, you can hear all the ludicrous shit coming out of her mouth. So if it's coming out of her mouth, I'm quite sure she can...

Put it on her twitter fingers yeah she's getting like candace owens money but that's what she's doing i guess i just heard some other theory today saying like oh well she has like a brother who's in jail for like rape or some shit like that or pedophilia and then her husband also so i guess they're just trying to like maybe she's trying to get in good with trump so she can get like their shit erased or yeah

or whatever but even even so like it doesn't matter girl like if you're doing this for like an act, like, cause you want something else. And you're like, you're still doing it in this. You burn your whole bridge. Yeah, cause the damage is gonna be long lasting. Oh yeah. Cause it's all, I can only imagine now after this, like how her, strings are going to probably go down. But then again, here's the fucked up part. Because now she's hitting another demographic.

Now she's hitting into these white Republicans who don't know shit about Nicki Minaj. But now that she's on the stage, now you know these motherfuckers are crazy. I mean, are they going to give Nicki Minaj a chance? You know these motherfuckers are crazy. I want to hear some parents bump in some super bass.

But I think my concern is is with the way nikki is going about this is she's latching on to the anti-transness of of the of the republican movement yeah and my concern is with the queer community and the gay community the gay white community is that they don't give a fuck about trans people and so it's like yeah she's being transphobic but i'm i'm hoping but i'm not sure how much the the gay community is going to care about that yeah nobody cares it's very few people that care well i saw

on the on the internets recently like a lot of the people who are talking about defending nikki minaj they're they don't give a fuck what she does on her private life they just they don't care it's ridiculous some people don't give a fuck i mean as a gay i do care i mean you think you need to because these people have platforms right like nikki minaj has no business going out saying that she loves trump like that like after all this he's handsome i mean

even before the whole trans thing that she literally just went she literally just went on erica kirk like even before that like i already started skipping her songs when they come on spotify not that i'm even should be listening to spotify i guess right the fuck but no i'm already skipping her music so i'm like girl i already done been but mm-hmm.

Rest in peace, Nithya Minaj. I saw somebody write an obituary today on Instagram. It was like, rest in peace, Onika. But I feel like a lot of these superstars, a lot of these famous people, they're like this in real life. We just don't know it. We're just shocked and surprised to think that the people that we idolize aren't like us. And they're really not. They're rich and famous. They don't give a fuck about you. And they just want you to listen to their music so they can make money.

Yeah. And it's also very interesting that like the anti-transness keeps particularly being pointed towards trans women because in this these videos that she's talking about, like one thing she was like, it's OK to be boys. Like, it's OK. That's so profound. And like, who is that obviously targeting? Right. Is targeting people who transition from being identified as male to transitioning to being women to who they are.

So like it continues to be pointed at trans women yeah right did you see that other part where she was like talking to erica being like as a black woman i don't need to be tearing down white women if they have blonde hair and blue eyes i don't need to say that they're less than me or some shit like that trying to like what play into this like right playing into some reverse racism bullshit i was like i read that and i was like this it fucking makes no sense like she's still playing she's playing

the black women as the aggressor but but it's also like but she's saying this in front of a group of white people and then jd van says gonna fucking retweet it and then like see then that's the other thing because if you on her twitter you said you can't see shit so i'm like how is all this information getting out here.

I don't know. You know what I'm saying? Because then once media pick it up, social media picking up, it's becoming viral. But I was like, if you go to a page, just like you say it... It's not there. It's not there. So, like, what the fuck is really going on? I don't know. Yeah. I mean, I don't know how, like... I mean, I just feel like we should probably just stop. Why are they still reporting on these Turning Point USA?

Like, giving it more and more publicity? And it's like, America has to wake up because I don't know if y'all seen the clip by.

Of Erica saying, like, oh like we're the college campuses chapters are growing at a high rate we have over like i want to say she said like almost like 2 000 chapters in the adult arena but they're growing in the young college campuses which are going to be the motherfuckers who are going to be able to vote in the fucking next election so it's like if they're brainwashing these motherfuckers at an early age because they had it they ain't fucking developed yet,

so they're just basically out here like turning the world into, a shit show I mean the whole Nicki Minaj of it all is insane it's just. Is this, like, a new point where she cannot do... Because she's not going to be able to do music anymore. Because nobody... Who does that fuck the music? I, like, is this, like, a new point where she's, like... Where she's just become... She's going to become, like, a new political figure. And it's, like, going to be, like, her as, like, the face of,

like, talking radio or some shit. Right. That's smart. That's a smart move. I think Nicki Minaj knows what she's doing. Yeah. She does, but it's also, like, who are you... Who do you really, like... White people. Because white people are going to pay her to say that shit. People are going to highlight her and they're going to put her on TV and broadcast her because they're going to want. They need her. Yeah. What do you call that?

That one that makes it okay for everybody else. I don't know what she is. But even then, I mean, she's going to get controversy. And controversy is going to get people to talk about her, to look her up, to make her relevant, to listen to her music. So everything is really going to go up for her. Like it's not. I mean, we all think like boo, cancel, but not everybody cancels. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Well, she could just be playing the game and flip the switch. Wow. She'd have played herself.

Right, exactly. Flipped it the wrong way. But it's a terrible game. I mean, you're literally like normalizing this like... Hate. The hate and the anti-trans. Like, why do you need to be anti-trans? Can you just be pro-something? Can you go be like pro-hey, like I'm like going to be pro-human or pro-this. Like, why are people so anti-trans? I just said boys can be boys. Well, speaking of trans and being anti-trans, like the school board, the school board situation, you know?

Oh, yeah. And if we really think about what's been happening in history, this is the first thing they attack. In Nazi Germany, they went after the trans hospital, the burning books and dissolving all the trans healthcare that was happening. You know, that's literally what the playbook that we're seeing now is, you don't think these people didn't read Mein Kampf? Yeah. Right, exactly. I think Trump did the audio book of it for sure.

He probably did the audio book for sure because he can't read it. Yeah. But, but yeah, no, that, that situation is ridiculous, right? This one book caused him to dissolve the library board. And that's ridiculous because parents were out crying about this book about a trans boy. I don't know. And they were like, Oh, you're indoctrinating and all this stuff. But like, I think everyone needs to understand that like there's indoctrination everywhere.

Everything is indoctrinating, but also like dissolve the whole, Yeah. Like, you can't just fix it. Like, if there was a problem, no, we have to completely dissolve. What the fuck? Yeah. Well, because they had to, because if they were going to be progressive about this, then they saw that it was only going to slip out of their hands. I'm like, oh, my God.

In other news, Grindr's CEO says app will be AI first and not in the business of politics. By Matthew Rodriguez of them. In an interview, CEO George Arison claimed artificial intelligence can help solve difficult gay dating problems. Grindr is promising that its dedication to AI is going to grow even stronger in the next year.

In a new interview with Wired, CEO George Arison said that Grindr is striving to be an AI-first company, using artificial intelligence to help its users find better matches in their area. Adding that he hoped that the technology could help address some of the most difficult problems that gay people face. Dating the gay world is complicated. Where are they? I know. You know what they are? Like the motherfucker, the issues that we face is motherfucking hate from politics.

But you're saying you want AI to be the head of it and you're in the business. It's not going to stop the hot guy from being shallow, if that's what you mean. That's my biggest problem in gay dating, is that everyone is a shallow bitch. How are you going to solve that? Also, why are y'all still using Grindr? That app is the worst. We're supporting a terrible company. It says, dating in the gay world is complicated by a lack of density, Arison said.

In most geographies, with a totality of gay people, it's actually quite small. But dating in the world is all about geography. It's about who is local to me. Arison said that with consent, the app could explain why it made sense for people to speak to other users on the app, making them much more willing to open up a conversation. Arison's comments follow the company's rolling out of a series of AI tools earlier this year that users needed to opt out of rather than opt into.

Sounds like fucking normal for Grindr. In September, users reported encountering a push notification that told them that it would train a generative AI model using their personal information to help personalize the user experience and support more authentic, meaningful connections. But that doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean nothing. It just seems like you're just saying words. They're just spying on you. All they're doing is spying on you. They're taking all your private information.

Checking your message. They're trying to see if you fucking are being fucked. What is that going to do with AI? Where are you going to be? Right. Mm-hmm. I'm pretty sure we got it down. Like, sup, sup, into, into. Yeah, right. Down. ETA, right? Oh my god. Here. Reports of the push notification came one month after the company said it would become AI native, an AI native company, in August.

Grindr had previously released a 2025 product roadmap, which included several AI features for paid subscribers. Arison also indicated that he wants Grindr to become a social and public health hub rather than just a hookup app. To that end, he said that Woodwork, which already exists as Grindr's site for selling ED meds and GLP-1s, what would further expand into STI and HIV prevention and treatment, including PrEP.

When speaking about pre-exposure prophylaxis, Arison said, you should be able to order it through the app as well. Ill why where you can do refills and we send reminders oh that's smart actually yeah i think that's good you can order your drugs and be like hey i just got herpes i just got this i got whatever you get yeah send me my meds thanks but but the problem is is that that's also going to be expensive like i've seen those those those companies like to get sti tasting is like 120.

And the meds like are also expensive so it's already taken out the black and brown yeah yeah you know what i'm saying they're not affording this they won't in reality he just saying he won't grind it to be for rich white boys yeah that's exactly what it is for yeah that's what i'm hearing that's why we need to be off that yeah but he's also straight and conservative as well oh it says if you're on your yes zoot yes zoot go,

If you're on Yazutko, which is a twice-a-year shop, we will help set that up. Despite being asked by Wired about his personal conservative politics, which have become a source of controversy for the company, Erickson refused to answer any questions about his leanings. Grindr is not in the business of politics at all. I don't comment on politics, which has been my policy since I've been here. So I'm not going to comment on that because I'm a big fucking Republican.

Yeah, exactly. And I hate the gays. I'm just making money off of them. Yeah, y'all better get off Grindr. If you're not off Grindr right now, come on. You're just shooting yourself in the foot. He said people come to... Snippies is funner. He says people come to Grindr not for politics, but for other things. Yeah. Have y'all experienced the AI on Grindr? Well, you're not on Grindr. Are you on Grindr? No. Have you heard or seen any of the AI stuff on Grindr?

I try my best to not even entertain AI in reality. Are y'all on Grindr? No, I'm not on Grindr. I... I don't know how they use any of that. And I don't know how popular Grindr is anymore. The reason I like to comment on Grindr articles is because I feel like they were the OG. And I feel like every other app is going to probably follow suit anyways. Oh, that's true. Oh, yeah. It is for sure. They're trailblazing for sure. Yeah.

But I think the idea, like, I hear this a lot from people where it's like, oh, we're not political. We're not political. but like the person is political because the government is acting on you every motherfucking day those laws the government the laws that are anti-trans are anti-homophobic that's the government so the person is political because there's laws being made against people so you cannot use that and if you use that then you're just being blind to reality also like.

The company is not when he says like the company is not political it's like well no we're not asking what the company's affiliation is we're asking what yours is because you're making decisions based like you he can all he can say that shit at any time he won't but in reality you're making decisions based off your political stand so like if you are conservative you're not going to be pushing ideas to make grinder a safe space because you don't like the gays any goddamn way.

Exactly. You're not doing... You know what I mean? And if it comes to compromising our information to sell our information to pharmaceutical companies... Exactly. So they can sell us through the app... Yeah. So maybe they want to... I don't know. So then... They probably got some lobbyists in their fucking pockets talking about, we're going to try to push... I want you now to sell medication through the Grindr app. Doesn't that put an incentive on you to have a rise in STDs?

Yeah if you're in the business of selling you're in the business of selling the meds yeah but i also think another thing is that what we're not understanding is that if he doesn't give a fuck about queer people then how easy is it going to be for the government to be like turn in all your queer information where these queers live at the end there you go where your location is.

Because i don't even know why grinder is still i mean because if he cares so much about, This app and the people that is on the app, then he will put a lot of things in place for the safety of his users because it was a team mob that assaulted and humiliated gay Grindr users and video viral videos. I read that. So it was three young men who lured victims they found on Grindr and then assaulted them for catch a predator style videos they posted to social media received

light sentences from judges in New Zealand. despite finding that they were all guilty of committing hate crimes. A similar pattern was followed in multiple assaults with the young man creating fake profiles on Grindr. Hence, why your AI wouldn't catch that? You know what I'm saying? Right. You should be able to verify fucking real people. If AI is so motherfucking, hopefully that's, you know what I'm saying? So like, get the fuck up out of here. Right. The one thing you can't do is...

I'm not going to even read all the other bullshit because for them to get fucking 10 and a half months of motherfucking home arrest is fucking bullshit. I'm wondering, who do they... To catch a predator-style thing, does that mean that they are luring gay people with younger... Like alleging that they're younger? No. So I think the pedophile hunt is just... The style? The style of catch a predator. So they're like to catch a faggot? Yeah, pretty much. And we're going to beat the faggot? No.

A lot of people equate gays to pedophiles. To them, it's the same thing. That's what they're equating. In a lot of the KKK and a lot of these alt-right movements that they're anti-pedophile, it's really anti-gay. If you're a faggot, to them, you're a pedophile. I see. Exactly. So that's what they believe. And they only got, oh my God, that's insane. Eight and a half to 10 and a half fucking months of house arrest.

How the fuck do you give that as a sentence? And that's what the contradictory shit about it. Not even like therapy or like anger management? Hell no. They're probably fucking still doing it. Wow. That's like what they do in Russia. What the fuck? But I think that really speaks to the rhetoric that people are listening to, right? This is very incel type of situation, probably, where people are very specific into these rabbit holes. Right.

Because they didn't really go into detail about that, because I know like in reality, that's how the right wing sees queer folks is that pedophile type of thing. But the judge did mention that they wasn't, even though it was that, because they didn't say exactly like the ages and whatever that they posted in these fake profiles. They just said that, you know, it was fake profiles. They didn't say like an age, race or whatever.

But the judge was like, regardless of if it was pedophile, you still targeted gay people. But they didn't say. If it was like. But for them to be underage, well, I don't know the legal age in New Zealand, but 18, 19, like, that's still, like, motherfucker. I was in New Zealand. Yeah, I was in New Zealand. But Grindr is worldwide. Everywhere, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So for this CEO to be talking that bullshit about AI, your AI should be going, well, first of all, you shouldn't be fucking using AI for nothing because it takes so much fucking water and energy from us living souls that it's fucking bananas. True put in motherfucking more security on your motherfucking systems and color the date what would a stifor grinder look like how how would you delete it. I mean I hate to say like like some kind of like,

I don't know how do you do all dating websites, do quote-unquote dating websites? Do you have to upload? Nothing, right? You don't have to upload an ID to verify what you are doing. You don't have to, but if you want to have a photo verified, then you have to do something like that similarly.

You would think if the way that they're trying to force everyone to have an upload their ID to look at porn, that you would be fucking forced them to do it to go on a dating website where you're interacting with human beings that can fucking kill each other.

Like if you're gonna be enforcing all these idiotic things you still do nothing to save us I don't think that we should be uploading our IDs honestly I don't think that more surveillance is the right path also that like limits a lot of people who don't have IDs but I'm talking about for dating websites yeah for dating websites same thing for me I would say like we need to have safer habits you know like we can't just be sneaking into someone's

house when they're waiting ass up like no come outside meet me outside i want to say hello shake your hand and look at your face it's a face knowing you should all get up all this social media fucking rave of fucking.

We don't even know how to talk to people at the fucking bars or like at the fucking store anymore so right you know i'm saying like shit you can't even hold a decent conversation with folks before they just want to see a dick pic or a booty hole pic or some bullshit and be like damn motherfucker can i at least ask you how your day going i mean yeah i guess try to build a rapport with somebody who you're trying to try to meet so you can actually know that they're like a

safe person but anyone can kill you at any time right it's true they liars they're liars if you don't speak to them you can't even see the red flags because you don't even know shit yeah i mean i guess get them on a facetime but that then it's like are people trying to get on face is anyone trying to get on facetime like let's imagine you're on like an app right now like are you trying to get like are you're just like looking to get your dick sucked are you gonna answer everybody's facetime

no you'd only answer the ones you want to talk to i'm assuming. But you have to verify everybody. No, I mean, like, if you want to meet them, then you FaceTime. And if they don't want to FaceTime, then you don't meet them. You should just have your boundaries. I think people need to be safe and have your boundaries. Also say, hey, I'm going to go hook up with so-and-so. This is my location. I will be going this.

Like, you need to have one of those buddies that you always message your whole buddies.

That's true. That's important. Leave your location on for people. True, true, true. So that there's a mega mayor that was trying to ban pride or whatever yeah so in Palm Desert the mayor was trying to ban pride out there Palm Desert being right next to Palm Springs how are they gonna try to ban pride next to fucking Palm Springs bitch girl die. I wish death upon you what was her name, death to all of them Oh, I can't remember. That was Wendy Williams. Wendy Williams.

Let's see. Palm Desert in California's Coachella Valley called an emergency council meeting after its MAGA mayor, Joe Pradetto, tried to ban the city's annual pride festivities. The Palm Desert City Council ultimately voted 4-1 to reject the proposal after three hours of public debate and 49 out of 50 speakers voicing their disapproval.

Wow. Jacob Frick, who has lived in the city with his husband for 11 years, said, For queer residents and tourists, this proposal implies you're not welcome in Palm Desert. Even if this proposal doesn't pass today, significant damage is already done. Yeah, why are you even trying to come up in here, bitch? Everybody's fucking happy and proud and you're dumb. See, but this is what fucking happens when you get these Republican gays. Yep. Is he gay? No, he's not, but fucking Palm Desert is.

Yeah. Everybody in that motherfucker is over 40 or over 50s, 60s, 70s gay and shit. But, like, they see this world as, oh, like, we should...

No flag or like we i don't know what the fuck the thought process is but however for the population of gays in that area yeah how the fuck a mega fucking mayor get elected any goddamn way right yeah i think there has to be a certain level of cognitive like dissonance for people who are like gay republicans because what they're going to do is they're going to focus on the the pull the.

Financial aspect of it because they're able to separate their their personal from everything else right so they're the people that believe like the person isn't political palm string is hella white guys yeah but i'm glad they lost ridiculous week but i think the reality is like all this do with like, the attack on the community in general, specifically, like, the trans community.

Like, did y'all hear about Trump and RFK? They're moving to block all hospitals from offering trans youth care. Yeah. Yeah. So the Department of Health and Human Services unveiled three proposed rules aimed at outlawing gender-affirming medical care for trans youth on Thursday, which is the latest step in Trump's administration's campaign against trans civil rights. Can the kids read? Can you just focus on them reading? Can you send them more books? Can you pay the teachers more?

I'm not doing that. You're trying to stop. How many trans kids in America? Like, how many? Right. You're acting like this is all of the children want to be trans. No, not all of the children want to be trans. It's like five of them. Right. Can you let those five kids be trans? And then shut the fuck up? And can you care about whether the kids have some food? Yeah. How about the kids have food in the cafeteria? Gotta worry about testicles. The cost of testicles are very high.

Jesus fucking Christ. They're not even like doing surgery on children. They're doing like hormone blockers. Yeah, hormone blockers. Maybe hormones in some cases. But mostly like they're going to facilitate a social change, a social transition. Which is totally fine. Like that's totally reversible as are puberty blockers.

I think even the process today, I think, is still transphobic because, like, the child says, oh, I want to be trans or the person says I want to be trans. They still have to go through a year of psychology, like, right, a year of psychological assessment. No, they just have to come in and do an assessment. They don't have to be, there's no, there's no timeline for how long you'd be in therapy anymore. There used to be. It used to be you had to come in for a year, but not anymore.

But the process is still very geeky. Like, I write letters to get people their gender affirming care. And I had to meet with them for an hour. And... It feels like a quiz. It's kind of like, oh, what kind of surgery do you want? What do you know about this surgery? What do you know about the recovery time? Like, are you actually trans? You do like a history of like, oh, when do you like first understand that your gender was different from what you were born in?

And I think it depends on how people like navigate it, where it can be very weird. Like I started out my assessments on like, this is a gatekeeping process. I'm sorry I have to go through this, but I'm going to make it as painless as I can. And I'm going to ask questions that may seem weird, but... And unnecessary.

And unnecessary, but it's just so I can write this letter that you need. Oh, that's nice. And then we just go through it. And everyone comes in knowledgeable and ready. Like, I've never sat there and be like, oh, yeah, you're not ready for surgery. Like, you do nothing. Right? Like, you've thought about this for years. You've been trans your whole life. Like, of course you're ready for this. You're like, I don't think you're really trans. Yeah. You're not trying hard enough. That's true.

Because, yeah, I mean, I feel like, yeah, that's kind of... Because literally, if you were a trans person and you went and you were like, I need to get gender affirming care, right? Let's say that one person lied and they weren't trans and they tried to get gender affirming care. What would be the outcome that they just got gender affirming care enough for one individual person? It's not like they're siphoning off hormone drugs.

It's like they're like getting it and selling it on the street if it you know what i mean there's no alternative right yeah bad to getting them right so it's kind of like what the fuck is the point you should just literally have to be like go into the doctor's office and be like i'm trans and i would like these hormones and help and they should just be like yes here you go the end like there shouldn't be yeah well for hormones it is that easy but when you want to like make modifications

to your body that is when you have to come in and get assessments and get letters. To help start that process yeah but i i would say in terms of like trans youth i think if i'm going to speak like republican talk like so actually supporting trans youth services is actually going to be more beneficial financially because they speak money and the reality is you get people home run blockers and they move forward without their puberty, that person is going to be less distressed over their body.

There's going to be less gender dysphoria, which means less depression, less anxiety, less need for mental health support as compared to someone who didn't get their puberty blockers. And then in addition to that. The, like, you're not going to have to remove breast tissue or other things to help people feel more into their body because that's not going to develop. And that is going to save money in terms of surgery for Medi-Cal.

So, like, if you want to talk finance, Republicans, like, it is more in your benefit to support trans youth. Maybe it's just for straight women to have to go through a psychoanalysis before they get breast implants, too. What's the difference? Yeah, exactly. Did Marilyn Manson have to go to a psychoanalysis to get those boobs back in the 90s? I mean, it's all gender-affirming care, right? I don't think he got boobs. I think those are... That was the best... Right, it was the best thing.

But he did get a rib removed. No, I'm kidding. That's the myth, right? It's like his own dick. It's like his own... Wow. But I think any form of plastic surgery is gender-affirming care. Because what are people moving more towards? They're moving more towards feminine and moving more towards masculine, right? And that is gender affirming to people. Right. Like, aren't you enough just being born that way?

Why you need more? Gender affirming oftentimes includes like a very supremacist point of view. That is true. Unfortunately, it's like feminization. It's like, what does feminization mean? Looking like what? Like a white woman? You know what I mean? How many women don't have a quote unquote feminine face? Like, should they have to go through feminization so that they look more like a feminine to you?

Like, what does even feminine mean? That is literally what they call that surgery, facial feminization surgery. Right. But that's what I'm saying. It's like, what does the woman face have to look like? Yeah. No, it's true. Because I do have to have a lot of conversations with trans women because their idea of... A lot of the push is to be passable, which I understand, right? Because that's safety, right? And that's gender affirming. But what is passable is also very colonial.

It is very white-centered. White supremacy. Yeah. It's white supremacist to think that you have to be a woman with no facial hair. You know what I mean? Women have facial hair. And so for you to think that, oh, it's not feminine to have that, it just really goes against... Feminism to begin with? Yeah. And it's just like, whoa, like people are people, you know?

Because also, is there anything that like, say for instance, a trans youth or even any youth, because is it just for trans youth or youth period? Because how would you deny, let's say someone gets hurt where they had to have some kind of facial surgery, right? But it's not for gender affirming care, but it is technically gender affirming care. Right. So like even something that simple would be denied because, you know, they will make sure that it don't go through. Mm hmm.

So it's just like you are you're they're focusing on the trans part, but then these are still youth. So like there's there could be medical conditions where they are still going to be in need of some kind of gender affirming care just for general purpose as a as a human being. So it's just like you damned if you do and you damn you don't when you fucking with this administration. Yeah. And this is just the first year? Dude. We're not even... When is Trump done? When he dies.

That's when we get a new president. Actually, 2029, technically. What? No way. When did he get in again? January. Was he already president last time? I'm kind of scared of what's going to happen next year at this point. I'm not. Well, you should be. Because... Did y'all hear about the FBI? Offering cash bounces for promoters of radical gender ideology. Yeah, you should be. I mean, can we go in the same cell at least? Yeah, I know. Can we be roommates?

In the gay tank together? Orange is the new rainbow. Rainbow is the new black. We're separating you fags. Sorry. Yeah. Solitary confinement. You know, if we actually get pummeled by the FBI, we should just like... Pretend like we're enjoying it. Be like, oh, I'm going to come. Harder, daddy. Waterboard me faster. All over my face. They'd be confused. Yeah. So there's according to them, written by James Factora.

Pam Bondi directs FBI to offer cash bounty for promoters of gender radical gender ideology.

So, wow. wow they're cracking down on domestic terrorists so we're domestic terrorists now y'all the justice department has instructed the fbi to crack down on supposed domestic terrorist organizations right okay it's a definition of which includes those who promote radical gender ideology part of that crackdown involves the establishment of a cash reward system for providing information on leaders of so-called domestic terrorist organizations

wow so this is literally now another mccarthy era Mm-hmm. So. Lavender scare. Promoters of ideology just means people who are talking. So now. Yeah. Mm-hmm. You're a terrorist for having ideas. Yeah. Wow. I don't even have to commit a crime. Yeah. Like a crime. You're committing thought crimes. We all just did. We're radical gender ideologists.

Justice episode. Wow. Wow. In addition to radical gender ideology, the memo also defines potential domestic terrorist ideologies as extreme views in favor of mass integration and open borders, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity, hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality. Bye. That's like all of America. I don't know who. That's so crazy, yo. Insane. But yeah, we're definitely... But they can't outroot the KKK.

The KKK is fine. Because they care about the family. The KKK is free speech. They're moral. The KKK's free speech, I guess, and we're radical terrorists. Wow. Yeah. Well, I was saying it's tackling organizations, but that's just the beginning. That's just the start. Before they come to the individual. Exactly. So I think everyone needs to be obviously aware. I mean, it's like there's so many people who are trying to actually do anything about this in reality anyways.

You know, not very many people are promoting radical gender ideology. So I guess they'll find us quick. Yeah. But another thing, too, is that people need to start realizing that the politicians that we're voting for are also anti-trans themselves. And if these attacks continue, they're like, OK, this is going to happen under a democratic. Let's say Kamala wins. These transgender ideology people are still going to be in danger because Kamala said that she's going to respect the laws of the land.

If the laws of the land say that if you're a gender ideologist and you're a terrorist, she's going to respect that.

What if this whole fake what if this whole fight between gavin newsom and donald trump is fake and it's so fake yeah and it's just like win and he's transphobic it's just like oh man we're just still friends and this is all it's just like what is it obama still takes pictures with trump you know they still take pictures with the bushes you know what i mean like i grew growing up seeing like images of like how bloody you know iraq was and then all of a sudden michelle

obama is like like buddy buddies with george bush who was ordering all those bombs to drop it's just kind of like very jarring you're right about that i mean yeah this is my grandpa he's racist a little bit but you know who cares it is kind of weird when i see them take pictures with george bush like they're trying to like revamp george bush's image as like oh yeah, i didn't do anything it was just 9 11 we all forgot it was like Thank you.

Five million years ago. Yeah. But I think that's why it's really important for us to voice ourselves to these people that we're voting for. Because a lot of us, we fall in love with some of these politicians and they're not here to save us. They're here to throw anybody they can under the bus. And right now, trans people are being thrown under the bus by both Republicans and Democrats. Bernie and AOC are the last people that broke my heart politically.

They won't be the last. No, they're definitely the last. I have no political heart anymore. Bernie's not my tío anymore. He's disowned. Oh, yeah? We went no contact. Went no contact. Not that tío. No contact.

But to put it on a good note, the Netherlands set to get their first ever gay prime minister after a far-right party suffers a big loss. I love it. Woo, woo. Come on, Netherlands. Congratulations, Netherlands. Sikh conservatives, we're next. So the Netherlands is set to get its first openly gay prime minister, Rob Jedden, following strong results in the country's recent election.

Jaden, who is, excuse me, the leader of the Democrats 66, D66, hasn't made his sexuality a focus of his campaign, instead emphasizing his mission for positive change. Following his party's strong performance in the election on Wednesday, October 29th, the 38-year-old is set to become the Netherlands' youngest and first openly gay prime minister. So hopefully some change will come in Netherlands. I really don't know much about Netherlands.

However, as Netherlands, because did y'all see that stupid shit about somebody that Trump just appointed as Greenland's devourer or some shit or some kind of title? He's going to try to, they're trying to make Greenland part of America. Yeah, they want to buy it. I'm like, first of all, that's all the way over there. What the fuck are you talking about? He really wants to be, that's, you know what? What the fuck? That is a big dick wave that he's just trying to do. He's just like,

I'm trying to buy a country. Yeah, he's going to be like Trumplandia. Wow. Oh, my God. He would name it that for real. Oh, no. No idea. You already thought it. It has to say. Go for Trump. Oh, my God. I can imagine the map now. It just says, like, Trump on it. Oh, man. But good for Netherlands. I love that for y'all. Go, Netherlands. I hope you figure out your racism, because I'm pretty sure that they don't.

Yeah it's not so racist they have an immigration problem yeah they do have an immigration problem right they hate immigrants yeah well good luck the gays then that live there because they probably hate you too if they hate immigrants yeah what a greenland the gays but i guess not if they voted the president or the prime minister go you netherlands go netherlands see we can be like you one day in america, Maybe one day. Right, America? We can. And then it's like the leprechaun wish

and it's Pete Buttigieg. Oh. Ew. It's like Robert Garcia's the gay president. We don't need gay or black or brown presidents. We need like no presidents. We need to end this. And we can't just be looking at like similar faces in high places to think that that's going to say that they're not. And I think to think that because of your identity, you're going to be more equitable or more moral or like more social justice oriented is a lie. Hell no, I heard that.

I know terrible, shitty gay people. I know a lot of terrible, shitty gay people that you should, no, yeah, no. Just because you're gay doesn't make you okay. No, doesn't, yeah. That is true. You got to be a good human being. Sucking dick is not enough. That's funny. Way to turn the positive news back. God damn. It's our specialty. We're just so negative. What are you talking about? Trump admin threatens 12 companies over chest binders by Samantha Rydell from them.

Popular companies like For Them, Tomboy X, and GC2B were all contacted by the administration. What the fuck? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA, sent warning letters to a dozen manufacturers and retailers of chest binders last week, claiming that binders were not registered as medical devices in violation of federal law. Well, can't they just be not medical devices then? Can't just humans just do whatever they want with their bodies? Can't people just squish their titties down?

They want to see the titties! I guess so. No, but I think it's just a way to like make people get their trans care harder because the reality is, is like, what's the process to get approved by the FDA and is FDA really going to approve it? And are they going to come down doing like, what's that process? Like, it's dismantling the FDA. Oh, sorry. Right. What is that? What is that? Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert.

Ten binder manufacturers targeted by the FDA leaders were Flawent, the Fluxian, For Them, GC2B, Gender Bender, Shapeshifter Apparel, Tomboy X, Tom Scout, Trans Guy Supply, and Untag. Those are cute names. Right? They're cute names. They're probably queer owned. Oh, for sure. There's no way. So, right. The Tomboy, if I wanted to bind my titties, I would have bought that one. That's my boy. I like the name. They also went after poppers too, huh? Yeah. Double scorpion they shut down. Wow.

Illegal marketing of breast binders for children for the purposes of treating gender dysphoria. That's what these they're guilty of allegedly. Pushing transgender ideology on children is predatory. You're not pushing it if you're selling. I mean, what? Your parents are probably buying it for you. It's wrong. It needs to stop. They said. Blah, blah, blah. If you cared about the children, can you like feed them Even proper nutrition, can you educate them properly? It goes back to what you said.

If you care, there's other ways to show your care besides his hate. Instead of cutting SNAP. Right. Because you know children rely on SNAP. Yeah. Basically. That's... Wow. While that's happening, that's so ridiculous. The admin team for Trump has more shit to worry about than this. Than to harass businesses that sell chest binders. But there's bigger issues too, right? Like you're going after chest binders. Like what about like the economy?

What about like all the other shit that's happening in the world? Like you're literally going to start a war in Venezuela real soon, right? Bananas. Is there anything else positive in your life? Just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just. Just to add some positivity. Mm-hmm.

Nope that's all folks well y'all no actually i do i do have some good tea honestly so i'm not sure if y'all are familiar with but there is a trans uh fashion line ethical punk oh and i was part of the latest what was it the premiere the premiere of ethical punk jewelry and fashion and was beautifully portrayed in the pasarela with all trans, Latinx, and black, and Asian. There's a variety. Non-able body. Non-able bodies.

Oh, nice. Yeah, it was pretty cool. It was cool to see a model in a wheelchair. It was cool to see fat models. So that was nice. And no, it was great. It was amazing. It was a really cool event. It happened. It took place in a cool queer-owned event called Create. C-R-E-8, the number. I know, that's right. Yeah, so it's a cool place. I got to perform there. Yeah, and it was fun. It was a cool experience. And that was a lot of queer

That's right. And check out their Instagram page and get you some new jewelry. Yeah, I guess some of that Chicano-inspired fashion and jewelry. Yes. Oh, you know, this isn't gay, but it's also kind of gay, because this is what gay people talk about.

But I watched The Emperor's New Groove for the first time. For the first time? Actually, for the second time. I wasn't paying attention the first time. Oh, okay. But I enjoyed it thoroughly. And I also saw Princess and the Frog for the second time. Which was basically the first time and I thought that was also quite a lovely film The Princess Bride? No I mean Princess and the Frog oh with Princess Tiana yeah, With Princess Tiana. That's a great movie. I hate that she was a frog most of

the time. I also hate that as well. Of course, we know why. You have this beautiful princess and she's a frog more than half the time of the movie. And who's the character in the park? The frog? Huh? Or is Tiana actually there? Tiana's there. Tiana's there. Good. I went on there to ride last time. Oh, I haven't been since then. I'm not a fan. Really? Well, I mean, I don't really do rides, so it's like... Well, give us the adulterated tea.

I got soaked and wet like a motherfucker, but it was worth it. So that was worth it, but, you know. So it wasn't everything you wanted anymore? I didn't... Yeah. What about, like, the aesthetic of it? The aesthetic was nice. You know, it reminds you of the movie. Of course, I mean, Disney always do their big one when they put out new stuff. I mean, like, new rides or new attractions. But also, it's like... You know that Disney ain't. Exactly. I don't even fuck with them like that.

They ain't trying to help no community. Anyways, is that it for you, queens? Any other quick tease? Any other gay thoughts? I think my dirt has been quenched. Yeah. I'm hydrated. Hydrated and supple. Well, you heard it here first, gays. from all and they's and them's and she's and fem's.
