repost if you fucking hate AI support human artists. support human writers. support human musicians. support humans.

Just bumping this up again! Charisma is an indispensable, brilliant trans artist, organizer, community node, bookseller and so much more. They just had to leave their home AGAIN. 😭 Times are hard all over, but I'd be so grateful if you could give whatever you can spare 💗🏳️‍⚧️💗

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides

There is ongoing scam happening posing as a black trans safe house in Texas. The fake org is "Black Trans Texas Connection." There is an IG page @blacktransscam that verifies its nonexistence by checking w local orgs in its supposed operating city of Houston. 👇

this group is suspicious as hell & run by some right-wing asshat who posted "all lives matter" & anti-trans videos on the SAME facebook account in 2020 as the NOW official shelter page www.dailydot.com/irl/black-tr... mutual aid is important as hell, this is just a gross thing to do asshole

If you like Alien better than Aliens have you tried Estradiol?

You can do a lot locally with a dedicated group of 15 to 40 people. Regular people should be thinking at that scale rather than at the scale of thousands.

In practice arguing for gender as a construct while not fully pushing sex as changeable has led to cis people, conservative and liberal, seeing sex as set in stone truth and gender as either fake gay shit to hate or fake gay shit to be polite about that doesn't actually change one's preconceptions

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

being trans in 2025 is like playing quietly on your game boy in your room not bothering anyone and then your drunk parents kick your door down and start beating the fuck outta you for "ruining the entire family" but all you've done is play game boy in your room without bothering anyone.

Let me make one thing plain right now: i changed my sex. I changed my sex so hard it broke sex and gender into a million little pieces and you will never be able to reassemble them.

The director of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is Neil Druckmann, staunch Zionist and racist creator of The Last of Us. This poor treatment of workers is another reason not to support this game.

You *can* change your sex. I *did* change mine. If this makes you uncomfortable, stop being part of the problem.

How do we solve these mega waiting lists for the gender clinics??? Just dont do the gender clinics and just have GPs prescribe hormones and refer for surgeries Gender clinics exist to soothe scared cis people not to help trans people transition

I had to watch Alabama's ban on gender affirming care for minors go into effect. It impacted multiple people in my life. It is cruel beyond words. Pick up the phone. Call all of your reps. Don't tell me it won't matter--I call Tommy Tuberville. EVERY FUCKIN' TIME. I won't gift them silence on this.

Trans kids are brave humans who are trying to live authentically so they can become… adults. The world only benefits when people live authentically. Yesterday the House voted to make gender-affirming healthcare a felony b/c they’d rather kill trans kids than stand up to a child rapist.

me and my bed

if the mta sold F/M swap merch they'd be funded for the next decade

if you are a trans teen right now, you do not have the lifetime of experience with the united states federal legislative branch to cope with “this will *probably* die in the senate” on top of the rest of your life and that right there feels like a fucking flavor of abuse at scale.

I haven't been in the pediatric trans healthcare system since 2019 and I can barely look at these headlines without wanting to puke. Can't imagine the fucking damage this is doing to trans kids today.

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”

fascism seeks to convince its victims they have been defeated in advance. stay aware of the state’s behavior, but remember it’s motivations.

Do you, as a cis boy, take it for granted that girls are just better than boys in every way and of course you'd want to be a girl if that were possible but it's not?

Remember when you censored Judith Butler for calling the gender-critical movement fascist? Or when you ran an editorial both sides-ing gender identity reform? Or when you quoted a transphobic hate group as a neutral source? Or when you basically republished one of their press releases verbatim?

HRT is a lifesaving treatment the same way insulin and cancer medications are, and any/all trans people should be deeply suspicious of anyone trying to argue otherwise.

"Transition is bourgeois decadence" said about a population that is frequently disowned, rendered houseless, discriminated against in workplaces and hiring, disproportionately represented in survival sex work, disproportionately subject to CSA and sexual violence, and frequently brutalised. Cool.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

Fuck you, Epic. I don't want to have the fucking Harry Potter game even if it's free.

"if you want to play the harry potter game you should pirate it instead" or, and hear me out, you could have some goddamn self respect and play any one of the near-infinite number of other games that exist instead. but what do I know? I'm just an attractive genius who's better than you.

the worst part is how effective it all is if you're the average person out there casually skimming over 50 headlines a week saying "being transgender is bad and trans people are evil" - not even reading the main body. You're gonna start to believe it. That's just how persistence works.

Transmedicalism is when I wanted HRT in 2003 and the cis man doctor told me that I wasn't trans because I wore jeans, was able to have intercourse with a cis woman, and didn't respond to his flirting with me He insisted i needed therapy and refused to even put me on the path of maybe qualifying

Bluntly, if I were so successfully socialised male, I don't think I'd be sitting here with a pussy I went through years of medical gatekeeping and a major surgery to get right now.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

I’m gonna be honest @jay.bsky.team, banning a side account that I made after this one was suspended due to me being scared for my husband who was kidnapped by ICE and having a dev meme on this is insane PR for any site. By that I mean BAD PR. I’m simply asking for an apology. That’s it.

you know what's interesting is "landlord" is not a job check back for more fun facts!

All of this is fascism. And not early stage either. This is the embedding of the Right Wing Daily Mail press consensus as the absolutely unshakable common sense of the UK state. Made possible because the "left wing" party has abdicated any kind of moral position on it.

The moment you understand that gender segregation largely exists in sports to protect the egos of fragile men from the indignity of losing to a woman or to allow women to compete without enduring unwelcoming "No Girls Allowed" spaces in sport then the lie behind "protecting women" becomes apparent.

Legal vs ethical stay whooping y’all’s asses

please help if you can!!!

Woke up to see that we’re even closer to goal. So damn close, y’all. Thank you so much. Can we lock this down today?? ko-fi.com/msn99/goal?g...

Gonna say it again: the problems with mental health in my social circle are largely linked to the actions of Wes Streeting.
