Captain Subaru Cran Berry blast: the falafel lobbyist (@coolranch4lyfe.bsky.social):

Nah the Uk Labour Party has been worse on trans rights quite frankly

And the increase of anti trans bills in the u.s is mainly republicans


Elisabeth (@neuroticlesbian.bsky.social):

People are living in an alternate reality


James Bennett (@ubernostrum.bsky.social):

I remember on Twitter there was someone who apparently was a journ*list at a large outlet — I want to say MSNBC — who kept insisting trans rights and healthcare were better under Trump than Biden, similar to the "we lost Roe under Biden" BS.


Elisabeth (@neuroticlesbian.bsky.social):

Classic "idiot, liar, or both" situation


James Bennett (@ubernostrum.bsky.social):

Ah, it was K*telyn Burns. Trying to see if I saved receipts.


James Bennett (@ubernostrum.bsky.social):

Found this one but I also recall her pooping on Biden specifically on trans rights and healthcare and mocking people who pointed out the stuff the Biden admin has done or attempted. May have been deleted like this one was after people called it out as a literal lie.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The context collapsed here is what "hottest take" means — it means something like "Isn't this ironic" or "quelle absurdistement". She's just remarking that good thing happened where she didn't expect, & substandard thing happened where she didn't expect


James Bennett (@ubernostrum.bsky.social):

Having familiarity with the larger body of this journ*list's work, I am not as inclined as you to extend the benefit of the doubt.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

She's trans; I'm trans; I'm familiar with her work.

Trans people are able to remark on "isn't this ironic", and to try to hold government to treat us like human beings with full dignity and rights, and even tell jokes occasionally.

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I get one joke a year. It is both a victory and a tragedy that it was a Your Mom joke aimed at Tucker Carlson

War on Christmas Veteran🎄 (@sfaccountant.bsky.social):

She was also lying, as many, many people promptly pointed out by posting her other tweets showing when she got her shots.

So yeah, no, she's not remarking upon a frustrating coincidence here.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

She was just shitposting.


∞ Monkeys (@somanymonkeys.bsky.social):

It looks more like a failure to understand how time works.

Biden came to office with a vaccine & no plan in place to vaccinate people. Unless she did some serious line jumping, she did not get vaccinated before 1/6/2021. Most of us had to wait months to get it.

James Bennett (@ubernostrum.bsky.social):

I've read the tweet and fail to find the humor in it.

Maybe "Biden is worse than Trump" is a laugh-out-loud knee-slapper to you, but it doesn't work for me, staring down the barrel of Trump's re-election and actual genocides rather than the ones Biden didn't do but it was "funny" to claim he did.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It's dark humour.

I wouldn't have written it, but it also doesn't rise to the level of bad faith, for me.


James Bennett (@ubernostrum.bsky.social):

"It was dark humor" is a go-to excuse of edgelords of all stripes, yes.

To make this crystal-clear: you are in a hole, and you have a shovel in your hands, and you are being offered opportunities to stop digging.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Have a good one
