me, flirting: "i like whatever's wrong with you"

I can vouch for Marisa, she's fantastic and will handle this story with the care it deserves.

remember that one scene in iron lung where simon takes his shirt off? 😵‍💫

It’s time for the state to start stepping up and helping our neighbors just like local residents have been with mutual aid.

this really shouldn't be controversial

as long as folks are enthusiastically donating to state level trans orgs today, figured I'd reup this list the @them.us team and I put together a few years back: www.them.us/story/orgs-f... (some info may be outdated, but use this as a jumping-off point!)

Cis people are ignoring those connections because cis people support child sexual abuse and are gratified by trans elimination.

wow we are so fucking hot that our mere existence is sexually explicit. me walking down the street needs a big ol censor bar. i'm so sexy it should be illegal.

That said, the legal orgs are key but mutual aid that puts money directly in trans people's hands is often what makes the immediate difference, especially when people are suddenly facing a fee to get a new license, potential job disruption, or the decision to uproot their lives entirely.

For those who still think Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo says nothing about his politics - here he is approvingly citing far-right conspiracist Stew Peters, who denied the Holocaust in 2024.

uh hey please look!

Lambda Legal has history fighting for trans Kansans; they filed Foster v. Andersen in 2018 and won a judgment establishing the right to correct birth certificates in 2019. There doesn't seem to be a lawsuit filed specifically against SB 244 yet, but they seem likely to bring one. lambdalegal.org

uh hey please look!

WE’VE BEEN ON THE GROUND IN MINNEAPOLIS for NEARLY 2 MONTHS! It has cost us over $30,000 between staff and travel. We are INDEPENDENTLY FUNDED! We need your support to stay ON-THE-GROUND reporting. SUPPORT SC for as low as $5 bucks/month: statuscoup.com/join

Not just “driving while trans.” Now you can’t apply for a job because whoops your driver’s license AND passport are now all illegal! Trans people will be unable to work, provide for themselves, become homeless, and targeted for “loitering.”

I have literally no patience for anyone saying that trans Kansans "just" have to go to the DMV and get a new license. There was no time given for that. There was no process in place for that. There were letters sent out to some people whose licenses were invalidated, but not all.

A whole bunch of people who are credibly accused of raping children are trying to tell you that I'm a pedophile just because I'm trans and existing in the world. The child rapists are pretending they're "protecting children" by persecuting trans people and too many people are falling for it.

If you aren’t supporting trans people then it’s only a matter of time before nobody’s supporting *you,* no matter what happens to us.

I was just informed of a $10,000 donation to a red state org that was prompted by my thread! so uh i guess we hit the goal? but why not shoot for $20,000 now? We're less than $5000 away from that!

help mahmoud!

This is in tandem with BOTH parties trying to transform the Internet into papers please police state so that they can even ask for help either.

vampire ass attitude "sooooo sorry"

only way to describe what this is as intentional and targeted evil. they want to make it impossible for trans people to live. this is genocidal

You have the frontrunner of the dem nomination saying he regrets supporting marriage equality. Stop. Moving. To. The. Right.

@repgregstanton.bsky.social takes aipac money, takes health insurance money, censured Al Green and has publicly thanked ICE. He’s a “democrat”.

I see a lot of people I respect fundraising for trans orgs and I say this with full love for them and knowledge of how much work goes into organization but like. I feel like I should mention that I believe it’s time to just give trans people money so they can flee these red states trying to kill ‘em

And out come the shitheels. Here's one threatening to continue harassing a trans person!

Blue wavers being like "You better give the Democrats your unconditional support or else we'll punish you" has become a fucking trope. And then they're like "How dare you imply our perfect political darlings don't care about you!"

give trans people money in general it's not like anyone will fucking hire us

sigh anyone?

Hi. If you're against trans folk being able to live their best, rich and full lives with all the rights and protections everyone else has then you can fuck right off and block me as you go, because I sure as shit have zero use for you, you feckless waste.

I gotta say, being like "I support trans rights, BUT" while the government is making it impossible for trans people to *survive* is actively helping the government get what they want. And I don't think I've ever seen a legitimate critique follow, it's just repeating more anti-trans propaganda

fucking disgraceful and completely unsurprising.

A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas. This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people. This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.

The Guardian has identified the Columbia student abducted by DHS as Ellie Aghayeva. She posted the IG story below: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I am woefully unprepared for this kind of sudden outpouring of support. The best I have right now is @/hennhales on Venmo or @/hennh on Paypal 🥹

henn rules, all help also rules

give trans people money in general it's not like anyone will fucking hire us

do you care about trans people? cool! cancel your new york times subscription! oh, but you just play the games? thats the worst argument you could've made! go fuck yourself!

if you really need the games that bad just use @puzzmo.com

It was never about fairness in high school sports, it was always about destroying trans people’s lives

Protest in the Freaking streets every single day against this! This is absolutely evil and must be fought in courts. Disrupt this cruelty like what Minnesotans did for Alex Pretti; Renee Good and Keith Porter Jr. Make calls now to fight because this is extremeism: #TransRights 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

i need y'all in the streets. it's the literal least you could do. minnesota showed up for the rest of the nation when ICE began invading and killing us. queer folks were ALWAYS on the front lines. stop abandoning trans people. STOP.

one thing you could do to help trans people right now is to find trans kansans on here and give them enough money to take a cab to the DMV and back, so that they can get themselves a valid driver’s license without having to drive there

Help Henn jfc Help Henn

donating to charities is great, but getting that money into the community takes time and vetting, and time is not something people have right now Donate DIRECTLY to people's cashapps, venmos, paypals, ko-fis my friend and brother in arms @iwriterobots.com lives in Kansas and needs help NOW
