This is a topic I am educating myself through the helpful links people have commented.

Whenever I see Hunter I think your man from Weeds.

I saw the Euphoria pilot earlier this year

it is straight up silly to act as though nonbinary people are the obstacle for getting trans health care, as though republican law makers are somehow okay with binary trans people.

it just feels like classic scapegoating. this type of rhetoric only benefits our oppressors.

Wow, blaming trans folk for laws passed AGAINST them? Fuck off.

Sorry to OP for being grumpy but I can't be the only one who thinks it's weird that celebrities hitting a "like" button becomes news? Especially since hitting "like" may not mean they actually like the content, but a number of other things. It's such a passive action that can be misunderstood. Not with Hunter here, necessarily, but in general. (Articles about celebs following/unfollowing each other are worse.)

I rather react to actual comments. But maybe I need to accept that these social media interactions are more significant than they seem

hunter also left a "!!!!!!!" comment on the post, just for the record

Whic everybody knows mean "THIS" as in agreeing with whatever you leave that comment on.
