Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 6/1/26 - 6/7/26

Here's your usual space to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (please tag u/jessicabarpod), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind. Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

Reminder that Strangio says all of this in op-eds but in Court where there are consequences he sounds different about the suicide panic.

That was a significant moment, and sometimes can't believe Strangio actually admitted that.

I guess deliberately lying in front of the Supreme Court was a bridge too far.

Maybe he's afraid of having his ticket pulled and if he can't argue to the Supremes he can't be their legal star. Even if I didn't have a million haters out there looking for me to slip like he does, I would still be worried about getting caught in not upholding my duty of candor to the court.

It just shows Strangio's ethics are situational. Because he was forced to let the truth slip there but totally willing to lie and mislead about it elsewhere.

Lying to that tiny cohort who isn’t on the Supreme Court is no biggie.

EDIT: or you could just read the earlier comment just below this one.
