My loved ones have mostly disagreed with this, but in the end, we know ourselves best. How we understand Autism medically has changed in the past few decades also, so that may be a factor. Being aware of this has helped me to be more understanding towards myself and others

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after. It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

it's crazy how we let these horrible people get into positions of popularity, but people like many of my friends have been stuck in the 5-20 views range for years. Start sharing around good beans who deserve followings instead of transphobes & racists who invaded our space i've pinged some below

I’ve had this convo with people who understand… and those who give me blank looks. Your national conference, if held in certain US states, is now a regional conference. Adjust accordingly. And forget international conferences in the US. Those aren’t safe for too many.

Enter The Matrix for the PS2: The cops are doing their job and responding to a mass shooting at a post office? They've aligned themselves with an unjust system of control and need to be killed. Batman Begins for the PS2: These cops are corrupt? 😱 You should do something spooky so they run away. 😈

In assessing the nyt, I looked at publisher AG Sulzberger’s own words in an interview w David Remnick in ‘23. He defended its trans coverage while acknowledging there are “bad faith actors who are trying to undermine trans people and attack trans rights” What kind of actor has the nyt been?🧵

In just the last 24 hours, Iran has successfully attacked: 3 cargo ships in the strait of Hormuz 3 fuel tankers in Iraqi waters Bahrain at Ma'ameer oil facility Oman fuel tanks at Salalah port US base at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait They show no signs of slowing down, they're escalating.

today is the 6th anniversary of the official start of the COVID pandemic and I am concerned we have taken many wrong lessons from it

I sorely miss the mainstream sexual views of the '70s, when sexual tolerance was viewed as modern & liberal, and the kind of Victorian attitudes that are popular now (pictures as sympathetic magic, "age gap" obsession , clumsy passes are akin to rape, etc) were correctly seen as stupid atavisms.

Indigenous people have been occupying the FUNAI office in Altamira, Pará, Brazil protesting a gold mine planned for the Xingu River by Canadian gold mining company Belo Sun for almost 3 weeks. The project has been moving forward without consultation with Indigenous people.

Everybody who claimed it was just about the kids should be whacked in the shins

if the State had the legal authority, it would do what it’s doing to transgender children and prison inmates to the entire trans population. the scary part is the State produces its own legal authority. children and prisoners are just those who are most vulnerable to the State.

"private credit" is a rebrand of what used to be called shadow banking, it's just massive capital loans that dont have the same reporting/collateral requirements, and it has EXPLODED in the last decade, from hundreds of millions to trillions. Putting caps on redemption implies the existence of a run

Three years and 38 days on e: Compliment trans folks that you *aren’t* trying to fuck, too

Within just a few hours of this morning's genocide warning from the Lemkin Institute, the 4th Circuit ruled that trans adults can have our care banned and be forced by any means to "appreciate our sex", and Iowa made it ILLEGAL to protect trans people. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

This is my Single Issue. Any Democrat not fighting this I will not vote for. You can’t just say you will. You have to follow through.

Despite the fash fetishizing veterans as the apex of humanity, their actions betray that they only consider the military useful when they can more actively exploit them. Yet another reason not to join, you'll be chewed up and spit out and left to rot as capitalism does to people.

Let’s help Angel become housed again. Boost this and donate if you can 🤍🤍🤍🤍

I made a post about this earlier today, but I am doing it again since so-called allies are showing their whole ass in record numbers. You are "saying" how much you support us, but talk is cheap. What are you DOING for us, what actual actions have you taken in support of us? Put up or shut up.

Trans frustration is not a zoo attraction

Two oil tankers have been hit by Iran in the strait of Hormuz.

5. The opinion outright says that states can legally ban transgender adult care after applying Skrmetti to adults.

8. The ruling comes as Heritage openly pushes adult care bans. After Kevin Roberts said the goal was to “outlaw it” through “radical incrementalism,” this decision appears to hand that movement a ready-made legal framework for dismantling trans adult care step by step.

7. Worse, this precedent reaches far beyond Medicaid. If states may constitutionally “encourage citizens to appreciate their sex,” what stops ID marker bans, drag bans, clothing bans or even forced conversion therapy to "appreciate their sex?" The opinion offers no limiting principle.

6. The court’s logic is hypocritical: it says the ban applies equally to everyone, even though only trans people seek this care for gender dysphoria. As Sotomayor noted in Skrmetti, that is like banning interracial marriage for everyone and calling it equal treatment.

9. This ruling is likely to spread fast: it effectively wipes out the Fourth Circuit’s 2024 Kadel precedent, threatens similar Medicaid cases nationwide, and helps build the legal framework for restricting or eliminating transgender adult healthcare.

Why are the shittiest of so-called allies out in fucking force today. What, did they smell Gavin Newsom nearby and consciously decide to act like shitheels to emulate their hero or something?

"We welcome those of all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, religions, age, and backgrounds. We celebrate these differences through a culture of belonging where individual strengths and stories are respected and valued."

"i support you socially transitioning but not if you take those nasty hormones" is an incredibly common feeling among cis ppl ppl stopped saying transsexual for this reason & to erase trans kids cos they find the concept inherently erotic & inappropriate for kids I was born a transsexual baby💅🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

You know what tho

The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex". www.lemkininstitute.com/red-flag-ale...

Except that's not what's going on here jackhole. We're telling those who think of themselves as allies to do better and giving them instructions on how to do so, and are justifiably pissed off that they are being little piss babies acting like they know what's better for us then we do.

People need to realize what this means. A court has said a State has the right to force people to appreciate their own sex. If they can do that, they can force people to appreciate heteronormativity as well. We are almost back where we started if not worse.

I hate cis people, reason 5098978635628378190:

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target. We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

(Reuters) - U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of collapse any time soon after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to three sources familiar with the matter. uk.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-us...

Epistemic injustice itself. Injustice around knowing. Letting people have access to those words for things they've experienced their whole lives but never knew other folks had talked about is so important for combating hermeneutical injustice.

The next fucking time somebody says "whose going to pay for it" when they talk about healthcare or infrastructure I'm going to flip my shit.

I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.

Not great

Something I really need to get across to cis people (especially queer ones) is that we have been at the forefront of the queer rights movement. The most influential and important figures of the Stonewall riots were trans. Trans people have been fighting harder than anyone else in the community

Yes, yes, they do.

Hypothesis: The bulk of people are monogamous by default, meaning they are only mono because they never really bothered to consider the alternative and unpack whether they truly prefer monogamy, or if their insecurity and a culture that sees polyam as a form of infidelity has distorted their desires

like what do cismen actually think marriage is a leash they think it's a leash

I just wanna say I have noticed all the (seemingly) cis Black folks going "alright, Chilis, be prepared for the Target treatment." I see you and I love you. Solidarity forever.

You'll never get police accountability because police are the ones conducting the investigation. On the rare occasion cops are found guilty, they're either given a very minor prison term in a segregated section or fired and rehired elsewhere.
