Drew my old dragon OC, Cloudchaser! He was terribly stretched during his father’s failed teleportation magic experiments. Now he’s stuck in this noodley dragon form :(
Terfs cannot accept that their suffering is the banal result of capitalism, patriarchy, poverty, and generational abuse and instead have to blame it on some divine or divinely biological difference between male and female. Accepting that trans women are women means shifting the metaphysics of their entire worldview and they’re too intellectually weak and spiritually deficient to to do so.
It’s no wonder that half of every terf’s blog is a desperate plea for companionship, crying out from the pain of loneliness and suicidality. Everyone around them is disgusted by their pathetic excuses and open hatred for everything they don’t understand. Lashing out at the beauty of the world and the complexity of the human experience. Unpleasant husks with rotten souls.

From the above link:
Next Tuesday, nearly 4,500 San Jose city workers are planning to walk off the job for 3 days. Garbage, fire, and police won’t be affected, but many critical services like the airport, libraries, and housing construction will be. If the strike goes forward, it would be San Jose’s largest since 1981.
KQED’s Guy Marzorati explains how we got here, and what could happen next.
Workers say they don’t want to strike but the wages and conditions they’re working under are below the standards of other cities and jurisdictions.
“I really want to work for the City of San Jose, I care about it deeply,” said Sarah Abroff, an associate transportation specialist, “I happen to love the work that I do. I love my department and I don’t want to leave.”
…
For Abroff who is 27 weeks pregnant and many others, paid parental leave is also top of mind.
“The city offers one week of parental leave, which is absolutely crazy,” Abroff said, “We have requested eight weeks of parental leave and that is simply not enough. I mean, our request alone is very low.”
The unions say the city has offered four weeks, something they’re not willing to accept.
“Four weeks,” Abroff said, “That is just absurd. It is not enough time.”
and pivotally:
“We are glad to see that in response to our historic strike vote, the City Council has given additional bargaining authority to the city. IFPTE Local 21 is planning to return to mediation with the city tomorrow, Wednesday, August 9 in the afternoon,” said Jesse Perez, Chapter President for IFPTE Local 21 and a City of San Jose Public Works employee.
