I don’t think I can actually tell the difference with Progesterone anymore. Like on it or off it just makes no difference. Makes me wonder if I ever felt anything to begin with or was just imagining it.

I'll have something coming out about this eventually but to say this killer was motivated by just "nihilism" is wrong: The killers glorified neo-Nazis They promoted Siege and ideas like "accelerationism" Their influences were ripped out of a "Terrorgram" documentary. www.cbsnews.com/news/san-die...

"I thought about how the kids of the future would find me strange for all of my hyperaware survival instincts that had been rendered moot by living in a kinder world."

It's not people posting regrets or a desire for change. It's a diversion designed to get you thinking minds are being changed when the core, fundamental problem has not clicked for them. It's MLK's White Moderate. They're not allies, they're a defensive line while you get flanked.

In police violence it's "better training is needed". In capitalism it's "a balance between economy and (environment, labor rights, safety, whatever)" The point is they don't see the structure as wrong, just needing "adjustment". But harm reduction isn't the answer to the Baby Mulcher 3000.

I have two thoughts when I see "regret" posts about dystopian shit like this. 1) The fact they always start by declaring allegiance and framing it as a methodology problem, not a wrong goal to start 2) Never do they go back and re-examine their stance through the light of the people who warned.

There’s a lot of people asking “what can we do now?” You should be able to hit an IPSC target at 100 yards with an AR-15 ten out of ten times, with an unmagnified optic. If you can’t, then you can start by practicing until you can.

If you want to know what Democrats will do next year, look at what Labour is doing this year.

The truth is that all Democrats are guilty. If you don’t throw the bigots out of your party, you are a bigot party. If you are willing to line up under the same banner as bigots, genocide enablers, and corporatist toadies, you’re no different.

Looks like 8 Democrats voted in favor of the bill, and 6 more didn’t vote on it. It was 217-198. So if all Democrats were present, and voted against it, it would have failed 209-212. So weird how that keeps happening…

When you see gentry cis gay men in elite circles advocate against trans rights, this betrayal should be understood as stomping on the graves of the grassroots activists who paved the way for their existence. It's not an exaggeration to say that trans activists are why many cis gay men are alive.

any obituary for Barney Frank that talks about the Dodd-Frank Act, the landmark bill he sponsored for Wall Street reform, should also talk about how he spent the rest of his life undermining those reforms, resulting in the collapse of not only SVB but Signature Bank, where he sat on the board

There wasn't a problem with trans people in sports at any level. Trans women have never dominated any sport. If trans people were proportionately represented in women's Olympic gold medals (just to take an easy example) we'd see a few trans women take gold every year, instead of zero ever.

An example of how the term LGBTQ gets used in establishment media to flatten and obscure. Frank was notoriously hostile to trans rights, and wasn't particularly keen on queer communities broadly outside a swath of gentry white cis gays. The main trail he blazed was for his own power.

So like, maybe get guns and learn how to use them?

Saw a local paper paraphrase a Republican candidate who talked about "the Portland bubble," in reference to the rest of Oregon. Folks. The Portland Metro (minus the parts of Washington state that are counted as part of the metro) is 47% of Oregon's population. Half is not a "bubble."

my favorite ad this cycle is “maga mayes middleton” attacking chip roy for: “siding with gavin newsom on the transgender lobby” which is an artful phrase, as it is literally true but extremely misleading: both are against the “transgender lobby”

Just incredible. Any theoretical charges—there’s no indication there were any—would fall outside the scope of presidential immunity for official acts. Fascinating that Trump felt the need to pursue this. He seems to have found a way around the likely legal rule that a president can’t pardon himself.

See this in how trans women are treated in activist spaces a lot. It's all "Protect the dolls" until one of us is willing to protect herself and then she's a dangerous monster.

Liberal institutions are drooling so badly to throw trans people under the bus that even a Canadian institution has denied healthcare to multiple trans adults (18 years old) because of an illegal Trump executive order. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/cana...

too soon

I hope my cat gets something out of our conversations.

I say it all of the time because it's true: Islamophobia in the U.S. is absolutely one of the most tolerated forms of bigotry. It's everywhere, routine and rarely challenged. It's not surprising that teenagers who swim in this water from birth would also be Islamophobic.

A new, proposed ATF rule aims to make it far more difficult for trans people to legally purchase firearms. @queerarmorer.bsky.social breaks down what it is, why armed defense is such a key part of queer and trans survival and what you can do in response to this attack on trans rights:

If you’re a gender nonconforming woman and not doing a complex “I’m so soft and cuddly and sweet and will do everything you ask” song and dance routine 24/7 you *will* be experienced as abrasive by a lot of people. There’s really no way around it.

Is Disney hiding a genetically modified creature on their abandoned island? They say no but a YouTube commenter with a Wolf of Wall Street avatar says otherwise (Source: tinyurl.com/bdzj6yn8)

I can't believe how quickly all these people became terminally AI-brained to the point that the concept of being forced to do their own research with their own brain feels like punishment

For any of my cis followers who aren't aware of this: The major hormones in my body are oestrogen and progesterone. Sex hormones control so much of the body that in any matter which isn't directly about my Dick And Balls it is safer and more accurate to treat me as a cis woman

Excuse me while I start screaming.

i think a lot of cis people don’t consider that forcibly detransitioning every trans person would still be a genocide and that’s why they don’t take it seriously which is weird because they act like you died when you tell them you’re transitioning

We keep hearing folks rejecting the warning bells about the trans genocide, saying “it’s not like there’s gas chambers & ovens”. Aside from the reality that the Holocaust didn’t start w/ gas chambers & ovens, this comes from an ignorant understanding of what a genocide is. Let’s talk about it. 1/15

I sat down with Live Like the World is Dying to talk about cell phone safety.

the services sought for detransition are quite literally the same ones sought for transition. detransitioners work in tandem with us on advocacy. there aren't enough people to keep a detransition-only clinic busy. this should clue you in that this clinic will not be used for consenting detransition

Unraveled: we're like if ProPublica had no money and also chainsmoked a lot

It’s not a circular firing squad. You’re just getting shot at, and instead of shooting back, you’re bemoaning ‘infighting’. It’s not infighting; it’s just regular fighting. That is your fucking enemy, and you need to learn to fucking recognize it.

the media's deliberate choice of ignoring murders of trans people also makes it ever easier for liberals, who have often find us inconvenient, dismiss the concerns of trans people, of trans women, by saying we're all moving to safe blue cities in blue states

We need to start making lists.

One of the important lessons of Bsky is the magnitude of what needs to change to make a better world. It’s not just Democrat leadership; the people tolerate and feed them. It isn’t just the people in power at <company>, it’s the employees who support them. The people are the problem.

I am my mother’s daughter. She raised me to be furious, and she’s proud of doing so. I think even more so now.

"we are going to be fine because Democrats are going to win in November" vs Democrats voting to ban their voters from bailing out protestors jailed for free assembly

One of my deepest regrets in life is learning more mathematics than I really needed, and I deeply resent that I understood, and retained so much of that knowledge.

There’s also a solid community of dolls in Pittsburgh, I know a few.

gwen's reporting is great as always and also, as you may know, i am bound by contract to emphasize how low the bar is for being "safe." every location mentioned as a destination for fleeing trans people is still shutting down clinics (no room for nyc but you already know)

Not that anyone gives a shit what I think, but Seattle fucking sucks; okay? Seattle is a city that wants to be something it’s not. Portland is just Portland. Like don’t get me wrong, Seattle has some great surgeons. Take the Amtrak up, it’s easy.

No, your autocomplete isn’t Marxist. You dumb motherfucker. I hope this helps.

White dudes are the all time reigning champs at intellectualizing the belief that they're the rational and objective ones and everyone else is hysterical Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
