Eastern APA people: come hang!

Yep, that’s MAGALOGIC tbh

It’s almost like HRT is more humane and cost effective for treating gender dysphoria than torture and counseling 🤯

@floresophize.bsky.social & @n1c0n1c0.bsky.social nail how words get caught up in political struggles and how dominant culture uses that to do its thing.

the zine is getting around out there. make your own pass them around 🖨️💜

Restoring the biological truth that sex is messy and complex, and we are all better off when medicine, science and social policy reflect this.

My brave coworkers at MIT put together a statement re: Alex Byrne's confirmation that he co-authored the HHS report recommending against gender-affirming care for trans youth (www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...) Please read the letter and sign at: dearprofessorbyrne.wordpress.com

Supporting trans kids is so easy when you’re in their actual life. The bullies in the White House and Supreme Court think the State should be used to destroy them instead. Fuck them. We will find ways to support them anyway ✨

Blocker bans are abuse.

⚡️ OUT NOW ⚡️

When I left the discipline, I was one of two trans femmes of color with a PhD in philosophy and I could not see, or even imagine, a department that would hire me. Leaving ended up being on of my best decisions, an opportunity to leave an abusive relationship on my own terms.

“You would think philosophy would aim to make trans people more safe. But chasers always shoot themselves in the foot.” WE LAUNCH TOMORROW💥

Trans experience dictated by trans people in philosophy. I know! Kinda revolutionary 🎯🥹. Can’t wait for this zine to launch ⚙️💎

Making America Great Again by killing women and scapegoating trans women as the real threat. Patriarchy is the gender ideology we all need protection from. #abortion #maga #gender #women #trump #pulitzer

If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne. The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews. Alex Byrne is an MIT philosophy professor with no apparent background in science, let alone expertise in it.

Chat, Mahmoud v. Taylor is so bad. The argument amounts to claiming that religious freedom conflicts with merely knowing about LGTBQ+ people and our lives. At least (checks notes) 6 justices seem poised to accept this argument 😭 slate.com/news-and-pol...

"As she spoke, the M-word—murdered—hung heavy in the auditorium... She wanted to be very clear, Williams continued: The abortion did not kill her daughter, the mother of a 6-year-old son; the healthcare professionals who were well-equipped to keep her alive but failed to do so did."

Making America Great again by starving our kids and disabled people, all so trans kids can be excluded from school activities. (*upside down American flag*)

My dear friend @katemanne.bsky.social has lent me her platform to talk about Sam Nordquist, anti-trans violence, and America. All the content warnings on this one. Read and subscribe to Kate's Substack: open.substack.com/pub/katemann...

All faculty, instructors and grad workers should be joining AAUP, and all Faculty Senates should be passing resolutions like Rutgers to form Mutual Defense Compacts within their academic alliances (Ivy, Big 10, etc.).

PSA: Sarah McBride isn’t part of the trans/gender liberation movement. She’s a centrist Democrat who happens to be trans. Here’s why she’s an asset to our movement and how to stop having your heart broken by her 🧵 #trans #sarahmcbride #trump #politics #democrats

Gutting research on LGBTQ+ people doesn’t make scientific sense because it is an overtly political move to conceal the harms we already know to come from Trump’s anti-LGBTQ+ policies: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

MARCH 31: Join a Transgender Day of Visibility rally on the National Mall and show we're not giving up in the fight for trans rights.

DOJ is demanding that Momodou Taal ‘surrender’ to ICE for deportation, despite having broken no laws. Why? Because he dared to use constitutionally protected political speech and to sue Trump for his EO that punishes that speech. Full fascism has arrived!

New Yorkers and DC residents trying to talk with @schumer.senate.gov are having to push notes through a locked door with police posted outside.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR. In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.

1. Texas AG Ken Paxton is usurping the authority of Texas Courts in a brazen act of autocratic power. He's ordering court ordered gender changes void. He's demanding licenses and birth certificates revoked, with reverted replacements for trans people. Subscribe to support my journalism.

🧵 IN SHOCKING MOVE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY FIRES UNION PRESIDENT ONE DAY BEFORE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN, IN FURTHER CRACKDOWN ON FREE SPEECH

BREAKING: We're suing the Trump administration for removing medical research by private doctors from a government website. Our clients are Harvard Medical School doctors whose work was removed because of the words "LGBTQ" and "transgender." The government cannot censor science.

Despite a federal judge’s order blocking the Trump administration from transferring some transgender women to men’s prisons, the Bureau of Prisons is continuing the practice.
