Texas Universities are now like police departments who would prefer to pay out the inevitable lawsuits rather than stop breaking the law

12:32 am on Christmas… trans rights

Merry Christmas. Peace on Earth. Goodwill toward everyone.

1. It pays to specialize. 2. Specialities are a luxury. 3. Luxuries are disposable. 4. Don't pigeonhole your talents. 5. Functional fixedness is a weakness. 6. Don't give away your skills. 7. Many industries could benefit from bioluminescence.

Search your first name + glamour shot. Honestly? Nailed it. #mood #ProtectTransKids 🏳️‍⚧️

Headed to Costco.

1. New federal rules were released last week banning gender affirming care for youth at hospitals nationwide. Those rules don't go into effect until public comment, months from now. But it appears Sec. Kennedy is using an arcane process to try to implement them immediately. Our latest story.

when some people choose between a weekly injection or daily pill to regulate their hormones so as to align their body with their desired appearance i guess it's no big deal

if this was me at a public event mourning my spouse who was violently murdered my kids would either have me committed or never speak to me again

"The short answer is that I don’t care if you host a gender reveal party or attend one or enjoy it. Even if it were something that bothers me (it does not), this isn’t something that would crack the top hundred worries on my mind on any given day."

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

I wonder why yesterday he attacked trans kids and reclassified weed?

It's not just TomboyX, by the way! Trump's FDA has sent these warning letters to 11 companies that sell Binders. - TransGuy Supply - ShapeShifter Apparel - GenderBender - gc2b - TomboyX - FLAVNT Streetwear - Early to Bed - TOMSCOUT - For Them - Fluxion - UNTAG www.fda.gov/inspections-...

David Brooks is now the third alleged Jeffery Epstein associate at the New York Times. This potentially includes A.G. Sulzberger, the current chairman of the NYT board. The NYT published this piece by David Brooks about Epstein less than a month ago. Why did their executive leadership allow this?

All in the name of "protecting kids" 24 hours before we learn exactly how close Donald Trump was with Jeffrey Epstein

Big fucking shout-out to Oprah, btw. 👐

The famous child drag performer, Edward Penishands, cost taxpayers $1.5M. Tommi Testicles came in just under $5M. #ProtectMadeUpSurgeries

Here's a secret... We (parents) knew this was coming. Have been expecting it for months. Then...Epstein. Venezuela. Vanity Fair article. Say what you want about trans kids, but they've been used as a distraction tool for 10+ years. Push back. Speak the truth. Repeat. www.hrc.org/press-releas...

Just in case there's a batshit news conference today at 11am Eastern by a former heroin addict and a TV herbal supplement salesman, here's an official policy from actual Drs supporting 🏳️‍⚧️ trans kids 🏳️‍⚧️ through puberty and into adulthood. #ProtectTransKids publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

Balint: "Even for Republican this is extreme. Are we really attempting to lock up parents and doctors? Your kids' medical care is none of their damn business. It's creepy. It's a creepy obsession."

Repeat the truth, again and again. Hold leadership accountable. Don't give them an inch. www.advocate.com/sutter-healt... #ProtectTransKids 🏳️‍⚧️

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care. A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn. The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased. Our latest wild story.

People say I overreact, too dramatic. I remind them that the first thing the Nazis did was make lists. 😐 People say, "oh, they're not going after YOU." "They" are the mid-management people we interact with everyday who have a choice to be kind or not, to be ignorant or helpful. #ProtectTransKids

Hey Hey #EastBay #Oakland! I'll be out supporting this event with Punks With Lunch TODAY at Grove Shafter Park! Please forward along to anyone who'd benefit :)

LFG

It is ethically right to fight security guards trying to stop hungry people from eating.

Stand up. Repeat the truth again and again. Repeat. It's how you win.

"The man with the most power has expended enormous energy targeting those with the least"

It has historically involved physical, psychological and sexual abuse against minors — electric shock, masturbation reconditioning, starvation, chemically induced nausea and hypnosis. Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will consider allowing it in Colorado and other states. 19thnews.org/2025/10/supr...

In the US, the number of trans people, at least 2.8 million, is similar to many ethnic groups (there are 2 million Korean Americans, 5.5 million Chinese Americans) - where's Transtown? Could help with housing, jobs, healthcare, media & political power. Many parts already exist in some cities. 1/

I live outside San Francisco. This weekend my family and I are going to see Shucked and if the military takes all the parking spaces it's ok because we'll just ride BART. shuckedmusical.com

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

Grateful to our courageous clients and co-counsel @dsc250.bsky.social @bergermontague.bsky.social. Together, we will protect trans youth!

I've seen this movie before...🧐 www.abc15.com/news/local-n...

My article on Kirk's "Legacy" www.erininthemorning.com/p/we-must-no...

I bet Charlie Kirk watches Johnny Carson. 💀📺

Charlie Kirk's professor hit list is easier to find than episodes of the Man Show.

My youngest kiddo is one of "them." She likes science & languages. She's taking Home Econ this semester in Jr High. She's excited about it b/c she's wanted to learn to sew and knit and I'm afraid my skills aren't that sharp. She has a pet snake and is really scared of spiders. #TrueStory

We’re not willing to collectively be loud, angry assholes and that may be our downfall.

With Charlie Kirk still in the news, how come no one talks about Bill Montgomery, the 80+ y/o man who groomed Kirk in his teens? Montgomery, a rabid anti-vaxxer who died of COVID, is who started TPUSA, not Kirk alone. There's another big piece of Kirk's story that people have already forgotten.

Homeless people shouldn’t be killed, they should be housed Disabled people shouldn’t be institutionalized, they should receive care Trans people shouldn’t be detransitioned, they should be embraced for who they are Immigrants shouldn’t be deported, they should be given a path to citizenship

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

For no reason I thought I'd repost this old news story about the time Charlie Kirk sent a couple of his TPUSA goons to stalk and rough up my friend David. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

You don't have to mourn an abusive person.
