Yeah, I'm pretty sure we'll be exporting all of the hatred, the bunk research that NiH and HHS create, and more generally just all our cancerous policies on trans people to the world.

I've seen several independent reports in recent days of a number of hospitals and healthcare clinics adding an intake field requiring you to list your assigned gender at birth. Anyone else experienced this in recent days? Starting to worry this is a coordinated push to require outing in healthcare.

So the Lemkin institue red alert warning for trans people was removed entirely that I'm seeing. No definitive reason why, but I can't help be worried this was under pressure from the administration. And if that's the case, what good are they if the people committing a genocide can tell you 'nope.'

Skirmetti implications loom large. Also, shout out to ACB, who claimed we'd never been a class subject to discrimination on that basis (though she did seem open to that). I know they won't, but how can these actions not be included in deliberations as to our class standing under the 14th amendment.

I deeply hope cis people start paying attention to how this government is beginning to interact with us. In an official capacity.

NEW: Under the Trump administration, the Office for Civil Rights has shifted its focus to removing gender-neutral bathrooms, banning transgender athletes from women’s sports and prioritizing complaints alleging discrimination against white students.

trans ppl didn’t do anything to deserve any of this.

I'm not gonna pretend everything's okay today, especially as a trans person. I'm going for a run, planning to enjoy some nice herbs, and then cry a bit (or, in reality, a lot) while I listen to my favorite music. 🩷🤍🩵

What are my trans brothers, sisters, and enbys doing for your mental health this Monday? Does anyone have any good tips to help keep peace of mind during what I expect to be a cataclysmic news cycle? Any good book recs for these times in particular? Love yall and just trying to stay sane 💓

Somehow, and it is a remarkable testament to our predicament, I think RFK may be the least of our severe concerns for HHS, NiH, etc. The P2025 bureaucrats will fly by without scrutiny (I know you're coming back, Mr. Severino & ADF) and will inflict incalulcable harm via legal memos and pen strokes.

translation: throw trans folks and immigrants under the bus or burn alive

They'll gaslight us to the grave if they can.

This is going to be a bit of a TMI post about gender affirming care, and those that dismiss it as being optional or something insurance shouldn't cover. I'd known I was 'one of those' since the days of Jerry Springer and the media mass mocking trans people (such language didn't exist).

The applause and fervent hatred on display here is a chilling indictment of our society. It's unsettling on a level I wasn't aware I could be unsettled, at least until this year. The language about removing trans people from schools. Presumably, this is kids, teachers, (trans parents)?

Vought's appointees from the Alliance Defending Freedom and Heritage will do the real, bureaucratic, surgical damage (and they are scarily effective). Severino and a long list of similar names will populate these deputy positions. Pay attention to them while RFK runs a circus.

Listen, Mike Johnson had bigger priorities than keeping the government going. Like, y'know, banning trans people from restrooms in Congress. Priorities, people. Priorities.

On this note, if you haven't already and you're trans, accelerate plans to secure your hrt (diy or talking to your doctor). If you're a data hoarder, cache community posts for archives in case KOSA rapidly hits our communities (youtube media, literature, personal recounts, NiH research, anything).

So very parental rights of them to even ignore the parents' wishes to treat their child with respect. Small government and parental rights were always a joke, but they're just reveling in their hypocrisy now.

Really insightful article on preparing the trans community and publishing for censorship, how to create redundancy, and steps we can all take. Things can happen quickly, and the more we retain local/communal and non centralized backups of our literature and community, the more resilient we are.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

‼️Missouri has introduced a bill that would BAN trans people from all PUBLIC BATHROOMS matching their gender. This includes private businesses. This is the most extreme bathroom to be introduced since 2016. I expect other red states to follow and file similar in the coming weeks.

We could really do with more adults turning up here tbh...

As one of those submitting a response to this "consultation" I am, quite frankly, outraged that despite 30 of us opposing the puberty blocker ban against only 14 (which included a number of hate-groups) supporting it (in other words a supermajority) @teamlabouruk.bsky.social decided to impose it.

cis folks on here should have their feeds replaced by a trans person’s for a day. they’d see the fear, the anguish, the hopelessness of a community that is tired, broke, starving, and desperate for a shred of human decency in a world that wants to end us.

Police have now appeared.

LOKA names their group Leave Our Kids Alone and then proceeds to mobilize hundreds of adults to harrass a child. Absolutely pathetic, cowardly behavior. Protecting trans kids means more than safety pins and t-shirts, it means showing the fuck up to defend them. Also, contact the people below.

yeah i don’t wanna hear shit from any cis liberals about how i’m a bad person for hating the guts of every single democratic politician. there is not a single one that wouldn’t sign off on a million dead trans people for half a percentage point in the 2026 midterms. utterly fucking loathsome

In 1995 a black transgender woman was t-boned in a car accident. The first responders laughed at her and refused to perform aid. At the hospital the people who were supposed to save her gathered their coworkers to point and laugh at her as she bled to death. It's always been legal to kill my kind.

To me, this says the DNC officially let everyone break rank as they wanted on our rights. No surprise, but another deep betrayal from this party that won't be forgotten for those siding with violence towards kids (and this is absolutely a form of violence).

nobody was bothered about trans ppl existing 7 years ago. everything that pisses you off about us is entirely fabricated by news media and politicians. every concern you have about our healthcare being ‘experimental’ is a lie. nothing you think you know is accurate.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: On 24 November 2024, Israel's minister of communications issued sanctions against Haaretz, the country's oldest newspaper. The sanctions block the media organization from accepting government funding or advertising. ddosecrets.com/article/stat...

The one time Jesse Singal wrote an article that wasn’t anti-trans propaganda, it was a fact-free puff piece funded by billionaire right-wing extremist Charles Koch in the Atlantic on how a LessWrong affiliate blogger had invented the concept of a new academic discipline: the study of argument

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

📰 While we're happy that Anne Health is being brought to the attention of even more people who might need our services in the Telegraph, we would like to take a moment to fact check this Telegraph article: https://buff.ly/3ZuQMzJ #PubertyBlockersSaveLives #ProtectTransKids

w/ so many undercovered stories in which trans people are the targets of all the institutions and officials that journalists like to tell ourselves we are here to hold account—I mean, it's no mystery why the media ignore them, but to ignore them AND THEN invent trends and panics to cover instead...

So apparently over at Elon's fascist funland the "Gender Criticals" are attempting to make a list of all trans people, presumably to speed up the concentration camp admin for the upcoming GC utopia. Some of the more slimy of them are annoyed at the optics Is this illegal yet?

Reskeet this until it breaks. Then reskeet it again. We need to flood Congress with phone calls TODAY to make sure they don't slip the dangerous and misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) into a must-pass year end bill. This bill would make kids LESS safe and threatens LGBTQ ppl & human rights.

This is very unsettling. Ive pubbed an article about states that are safe to try to get to, specially from a healthcare point of view....but I dont know if even that is safe. thistleandmoss.com/p/where-the-...

The secret sauce of liberal transphobia is liberals insisting on having parasocial relationships with transphobic pundits and pseudo-journalists whom they think are "smart."

Roger Severino, under the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) at HHS, promulgated a rule cutting us out of section 1557 in the last admin. He's an author in P2025 and is likely to return.

News coverage of this, even sympathetic, has still painted this as 'the latest front in the culture war.' This is just laundering an attempt at the complete erasure of us to make it seem like it's still 'political' or a debate topic. And in terms of complete erasure. Fuck off, we ain't leaving!

Nikki Giovanni staunchly supported trans folks, especially trans youth. Her encouragement is a balm. “I think the transgender kids are the bravest kids right now that we see; they're as brave as my generation was in breaking down segregation.”

If you are a trans person you might or might not feel that this describes you, and I totally get it. But there's a powerful symbolic association in people's minds with transness and courage, independence, rebellion. And, in this dark era, I believe we need to be willing to lean into that.

Plainly put, we're in deep trouble. Support for trans people is likely to become a marginal, far-left position for a while. So, if this is what I anticipate, as the leader of a transgender newsroom, what's my plan for the difficult years that I see ahead of us?

Trans journalists, particularly ones writing about trans issues, have been pushed out of the industry. It's why I started Assigned Media, and why I'm determined to grow and increase our capabilities. A 🧵 about the "quiet purge" of trans voices, what to expect, and what I intend to do about it.

They’re often getting deleted by social media platforms but the UnitedHealth CEO murder ballad is definitely a genre now online.

This is the video that got nuked from TikTok

Ingraham: The instagram posts from nut bag people ..people celebrating. This this is a sickness, honestly, it's so disappointing, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised.. up next, the other big news out of New York, Daniel Penny, a lot of people think he is a hero.
