Incredible news. Illinois Governor Pritzker has signed a law removing testosterone HRT from the PDMP program, a program other states can use to access people's prescription records across state lines. It will protect trans people in IL from places like TX. Subscribe to support our journalism.

mitch mcconnell is in recovery after undergoing the classic “3 in 1” emilia perez suite of simultaneous surgeries

Speaking as just one guy who sues the government a lot: This basically does not happen. It is a transparent effort to shut down further inquiry by conceding relief. What they are seeking to cover up must be unspeakably bad.

An exceedingly rare article which not only centers trans voices, but lays out in stark terms that this is a refugee crisis spurred by the Trump regime's campaign of hate. www.adn.com/nation-world...

For the love of god, don't use OpenRouter for coding lol; a Kimi Code Allegro 5h session gets $120 worth of API ($0.19/$0.95/$4.00 cache/in/out) tokens. This gives max value for sub tiers: Moderato: $19→$170 API/mo Allegretto: $39→$870 API/mo Allegro: $99→$2.6k API/mo Vivace: $199→$5.2k API/mo

According to the most rigorous studies, 10.8% of college men perpetrate at least one rape before graduation. This statistic always comes to mind when I see men in power reacting with disgust to the idea that one of their peers could face even a shred of accountability.

don't say it was your donors who firesale bought up the bathhouses and flops and flipped them to university land trusts for dollars on the penny, don't say it was you and your colleagues who got in on the scam, blame it on Sylvia, call her ugly and treat that as proof

those unambitious and stupid children of highburgers gladly participate in this, in part because the total absence of authenticity is the only wound in their psychic landscapes shared with & conversationally coterminous with petit-bourgeois strivers. All things different are fake and rich

academics' first instinct when encountering any way of life that differs from theirs is to headcanon it out for secret reservoirs of extreme wealth. This is in its own way confession through projection, as their self-delusion is the closest they ever find in life to honesty

academia is where the petit bourgeoisie of the first world, raised in a world allergic to difference of any kind, meets non-petit-bourgeois people socially for the first time - mostly the particularly unambitious and stupid children of the haute bourgeoisie. This becomes their skeleton key

I got more dirty looks in the UK when I put on a shirt and blazer for the first time in years than I ever got pissing in women's toilets wearing a dress. This is because sex isn't as simple as the petulant, petty, juvenile reality-denying tantrum-throwers of the GC movement want it to be.

The political will of the UK's elites has oriented itself toward enforcing an unenforceable law in pursuit of upholding a definition of sex that they refuse to define, because doing that is easier than admitting that the entire fiction of sex and bloodline and hierarchy is worthless, empty piddle.

There’s a scene in the dystopian sci-fi movie Minority Report where Tom Cruise’s character is riding in an autonomous vehicle that gets remotely commandeered by the police to bring him into custody. The audience is supposed to see this as flagrant disregard for privacy and due process.

tfw a relative is so behind that they are just embracing the litter boxes in schools lie when all the vanguard haters are in government pursuing trans genocide.

They don't put mind control nanobots in carbonated drinks but they do put them in cigarettes. They are so tiny it's the only way to charge them up with enough energy then get them into your bloodstream in time to reach your brain and make you believe ridiculous conspiracy theories.

Yours will be along sooner than you think if you don't throw out Labour's disgusting trans apartheid and give us our human rights back.

I love them all so much ;w; I'm lacking proper words to convey how important this chapter feels for everyone and the sort of feelings and experiences that hit me so hard... The pacing of the whole chapter and the PoV switch rhythm felt amazing...

But arts and drama aren’t MANLY jobs like British Steel and Jaguar Land Rover. They can’t do a photoshoot in a hard hat at RADA

Hahahahahaha. Oh fuck

I mean in absolute terms this is a massive opportunity for Seattle and other cities like it, as an increase in population size means an increase in their tax base, both from taxing the increased population directly and from the ability to tax the economic activity generated by a larger population.

Trans people in the UK can get help getting travel documents from @essehouse.bsky.social They can also help those at risk of homelessness, or who are in an unsafe living situation.

Solar and wind are significantly cheaper and more cost effective than even the cheapest fossil fuels. Your energy prices will continue to increase until we start prioritizing renewables over fossil fuels.

leftists: "dems are not a leftist party and in fact are a party that exists to fight the possibility of leftist movement in the west by any means necessary instead." we are told this is divisive, we should vote blue no matter who; we do. dems, in response: "we must fight leftists at all costs."

[spins discourse wheel] actually criticising a politician for being dead is ableism x

Alberta votes Oct 19 on leaving Canada. If it goes, the Charter stops shielding queer Albertans at the line. A canvasser said it plain: gay marriage "would need to be revoted on." Win once. Lose in one autumn. Whose marriage belongs on a ballot? #TransRights #QueerNews #Alberta #LGBTQ #Politics

BREAKING: A federal court permanently blocked Governor DeSantis’ classroom censorship law, the "Stop WOKE Act," from taking effect. The law would've restricted students and educators in Florida from discussing things like race and gender in higher ed classrooms.

My wife has never heard Soft Cell's "Sex Dwarf". 🧐

I just want the "magic" in this story to be completely arbitrary and serve the plot is that so much to ask?

Will the BBC ever do such a thing.. bsky.app/profile/osin...

Demons Roots continues to be the Game of All Time. Having former brainwashed time travel sex trafficked victims organize into a Super Sentai unit and build a quarry so they can fight you out of a misguided sense of justice is...PEAK ACTUALLY

good worldbuilding involves creating a document where you write your biggest fetish at the top of the page and then circle it in red and then you’re done

the type of pic a former 4tranner posts while complaining about how they're a hon who will never pass

Probably should've done this ages ago, but I just setup a Ko-fi page. Extra support is deeply appreciated. I'm paying for hosting out of pocket, now a couple of months into being unemployed, and my birthday is in a couple of days. ko-fi.com/ens0dotme

So now that we've hit the fucking limit of refusing to challenge patriarchal society's most dearly-held assertion of sex as natural, prediscursive and unassailable, what shall we do next? Keep pissing ourselves lest the notion of transition's material reality leads to too many clutched pearls?

We've seen activists, academics, lawyers, and scholars of feminism and gender and transness and queerness all refuse to acknowledge, for various reasons, that TRANS PEOPLE CHANGE SEX, that we are able to navigate society as the sex we transition to, and are punished for daring to change our sex.

There's a lot of distance between "SCOTUS would have ruled against trans people no matter what, so the arguments don't matter in the slightest" and "We should keep conceding that trans women are immutably biologically Male and only seek protections based on nebulous notions of gender expression".

not sure about fav but I get this stuck in my head like once a month at least

I don't know why rockstar is wasting all this money on GTA VI when everyone knows what they REALLY need to do is remake Lemmings 3D
