I’d say that it’s still a very common trope, and that’s part of the reason it’s not discussed much. The other reason is that, as the cultural “default” cishet men don’t really create spaces centering their shared cishet experience, since basically all communities are awash in that already. Lesbians obviously carve out spaces for themselves where they can discuss their own culture, which is not often on display in the wider culture.

Like if you went to a forum for cishet dudes, it would be a bunch of guys who think there aren’t enough places already to talk about being a cishet dude and that’s a big red flag.

Part of the ruling stems from the ND constitution which guarantees a right to pursue happiness:

Section 1. All individuals are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing and protecting property and reputation; pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness; and to keep and bear arms for the defense of their person, family, property, and the state, and for lawful hunting, recreational, and other lawful purposes, which shall not be infringed.

Notably, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” were in the Declaration of Independence, and not the US Constitution. But ND put it in theirs.

Anyway, wishcasting here to say that this opens a pathway to protecting gender-affirming care in ND as well.

I went to pub trivia and it was way better.

Not like she’d be able to pass it even if she wanted to (she doesn’t). Legislators are cheap.

I buy my weed that makes you gay at the beach that makes you old.

Watching sports is a fun thing to do with your friends.

America’s sports culture is perhaps the least problematic globally. There’s no such thing as a “Cleveland Browns Ultra”.

I think UT is part of the reason Austin has any likable parts at all, frankly.

my toddies are going to be so hot

Well, Al Gore was elected by the Americans who voted, just not by the Supreme Court.

I like Ocean Beach a lot. The Riptide on Taraval is a great bar within a stone’s throw. Toyose on Noriega out by the beach is an awesome Korean restaurant.

I love SF because it’s one of the most interesting looking cities in the US with some of the best weather (I like it cold). Shame it’s so expensive.

Who need they X-mussy ate?

Whenever Ferrari wins in F1 they play the Italian anthem and it’s a lovely jaunty march.

RFK lol

Incoming lathe-touching: Two state solution happens but only because the Israelis get to saddle the new Palestinian state with all of their debt, Haiti-style.

The smart guys and the people this program was designed to just give taxpayer money to will 100% duck out after that check clears. The real problem is the sickos who stick around to play Fallujah against teenagers for free.

Billionaires yearn for Davy Jones’ Locker.

Things just haven’t been the same since the Big Bopper died.

Yeah and they’re great. White people tacos are a distinct, low-effort species from Mexican tacos.

Hot tip: to make your white people tacos meat stretch further, add black beans!
