I think you are misapplying the principle of "words are how you use them" here; "his husband" is used not-infrequently and is grammatically valid to any English speaker. There is nothing to correct in the original text.

What this is using, however, is statistical frequency of use, which is a different thing altogether. And you know what relies on statistical frequency of language like this? LLMs.

English is full of words and phrases that have secondary meanings, and even obscure or contextual meanings that are real and correct! We cannot cede less popular language choices to AI spellcheck or we lose our own voices and experiences. Acknowledging that gay people exist is a tiny microcosm of this, but it's important in many other ways too.

The way that the full body scanner works, is someone looks at you visually first and genders you (entirely separate from gender markers on IDs). If you pass as a woman, they hit the woman button which tells the TSA agent looking at the body scans to expect things like bras but not to expect external genitals. So if a trans femme without bottom surgery goes through, she gets flagged for having a penis and another TSA agent has to make sure it's not a concealed explosive or something, meaning said trans femme gets groped in the process. However, if the TSA agent sees a scan of a woman wearing a menstrual pad instead, that's just a cis woman on her period, no pat-down required.

Alternatively, if someone passes as a man, they will get flagged if they are wearing a bra. So planning to navigate TSA the easiest may involve using gendered clothing to unambiguously pass as well.

For the TSA body scanner specifically, trans femmes can avoid a pat down by using a menstrual pad, just fyi!

No one needs to justify their existence. Existence is valuable in and of itself, not derived from what you can do or be or experience.

"In the same way that your heart feels and your mind thinks, you, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. If you don’t, it doesn't."

Also it aired at the same time as the 2020 US presidential election, so the meme wires got crossed and people were using it to announce electoral results too, transforming it into a news announcement meme generally

The framing on this issue has been a little weird, so to be clear, Seattle is a great place for trans people to relocate if out of the country isn't an option. The resources to make a move to Seattle accessable to lower income trans people is what is at stake here! So the state of emergency opening up funds would be really crucial to the small network of trans nonprofits who are spread thin. In the meantime, donating money or time to these nonprofits goes a long way!

That's kind of a fucked up thing to comment on a picture of a black woman surrounded by racists

Not uncontroversial in some spaces, but I have heard some trans masc folks describe that intersection as transandrophobia to distinguish it from misandry.

Oops I dropped this url here, how did that happen!

Once upon a time when the internet was small and niche, this may have been true. Now, it's a firehose of information that is constantly available in your pocket. It's healthy to curate that space to reflect your interests in your precious little time on earth. If you want to pop your bubble so badly, go out and talk to people! Make real connections instead of falling for engagement bait online that only leaves you frustrated and isolated.
