Happy Trans Day of Visibility

trans day of visibility is such a quaint concept. remember back when we thought if everyone could just see trans people being normal human beings then *of course* they wouldn't want to hurt us anymore?

This weekend I wrote On Here about the transphobic article that appeared in the Illinois Bar Journal's April 2026 issue. This is the response I submitted today (in the likely event they choose to not print it. It's limited to 500 words.

Yes, Israel has always been an apartheid state. But it's also a sign of just how rightward and genocidal the Israeli state has become that Itamar ben-Gvir has gone from being charged with terrorism to passing laws executing other people as terrorists. That's what's called impunity.

The thing is that I don't actually *want* to be in a community or get along with thugs who are so gleeful to pass a modern lynching law lifted from Jim Crow that they walk around wearing noose pins. I don't think a state that does that has a right to exist. I don't want to share a seder with that.

If you sit at a table with a Nazi, there are two Nazis at the table. If you sit at a table with a segregationist, there are two segregationists at the table. I urge my fellow Jews to remember that this Passover Seder. Palestinians are dying. What does who you're sitting with say about you?

Liberal Zionists keep saying that we antizionists need to learn to coexist with Jabotinskyites because we're all one people and I'm sorry but I don't care how Jewish we both are, if you're wearing a noose pin and salivating for mass hangings, you are NOT my people. You are my enemy.

"What will happen to all the Jews in Israel with a free Palestine?" Well the worst case scenario would probably be that a law is passed saying that they could be hanged for terrorism without a trial. You know, like the one Israel just passed against Palestinians.

When Iran starts executing people under a giant Star of David in the name of all Jews, or when they're executing people with American weapons provided by going around Congress, then I will be just as loud about opposing them as I am opposing Israel. But right now it's ISRAEL doing those things.

Being a progressive and supporting the Israeli government is like being a progressive and supporting the Trump administration. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever unless your politics are nothing but vibes.

Israel bringing back the death penalty that it had previously abolished *specifically* for Palestinians is an absolutely hideous crime

I was told by Hillary Clinton that the reason younger liberals don't like Israel is because they didn't learn about Camp David on TikTok

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

Ben Gvir has no say over Israeli politics he's just a member of parliament, a member of the cabinet, the minister in charge of the national police, and is able to pass discriminatory laws that impose the death penalty onto one group of people on the basis of race. He's basically just the fringe.

NEW: In comments associated with a recent news story, New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters seemed to endorse a right wing conspiracy theory that holds medical journals colluded to suppress evidence supporting conservative viewpoints on youth gender medicine. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

This is called “strategic defeat.” You have ended up in a worse position than before you began, with your adversary, while battered, emerging in a stronger position than before.

Read my book. It’s free, and it whips. Magical realism? ✅ Drinkable lesbian romance in a bottle? ✅ A miserable protagonist who figures out their shit because of powerful women? ✅ A sexy demon into BDSM? ✅ Cozy vibes? ✅ Force-femme? 🤷‍♀️ ✅ ❎ (see me after class) Trans feels? ✅✅✅🏳️‍⚧️✅✅✅

being trans is saying, hey, i have some issues with my situation and I am going to take steps to change my situation and my situation only to feel happy, and then having the world tell you you deserve to be murdered for wanting to help yourself.

Love watching liberals lose their minds cause Putin is delivering oil to Cuba and trumps letting him so they think this is some conspiracy that Putin owns Trump but we are actually just very weak right now because Trump is stupid and also it’s good Putin sent oil stop bitching

From “of course I’m not transphobic, I’m just taking a job to bring joy to kids” to “you’re imagining transphobia” in less than a month.

Notice how the federal government is not-so-subtly trying to sneak in a demand for bathroom bans into their faux concerns about sports.

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite. if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

"How do you handle the Trump supporters in your family?" By moving 1000 miles away from them and only talking to them when I have to

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

Interestingly he seems to be way more important to the younger generations than when he first debuted

Sometimes, the system works.

Really not loving how basically every politician on the planet is jumping on board with these types of age verification laws, tbh!

The way you get people to disobey illegal orders is by making clear that obeying them won't be free of consequences

I really need to just impulsively shave off my beard. I'm worried I'll just look worse without it though

Dear Landlord Lawyer: "We're not singling out your client because we evict everyone who complains" is not the defense to retaliatory eviction you think it is. Sincerely, Sheryl

A lot of them are in "dril racism dial tweet" mode right now (but about all sorts of issues), awaiting polling and confirmation from the consultant class that they're allowed to actually say something of substance.

I think they heard complaints that things Kamala Harris said in 2019 hurt her in 2024 and now these potential candidates are all just saying a whole lot of nothing.

Dems are so freaked out about 2028 and not knowing where public opinion is going to stand at that time on a number of issues that a bunch of the potential candidates are really twisting themselves in knots to avoid offering clear stances on anything.

To be clear with how I feel about it. Anyone in the military who directs or carries out strikes on desalination plants should be in prison when this is over.

"we should never do litmus tests" is one of those things that consultants think sounds smart but falls apart if you think about it for two fucking seconds

Even the best Democrats will inevitably wind up Hitlerite (or Hitler lite) on this issue because even "anti-genocide" politicians can't be seen to oppose "Israel's right to defend itself"

Per YouGov Rahm Emanuel is the 78th most popular Democrat, behind everyone from Michael Dukakis to Barney Frank. He is 12 places behind Harry Reid, who died five years ago. To the extent anything's happening here it's *entirely* media-driven. yougov.com/en-us/rating...

I am once again begging journalists to pay attention to what happens in eviction courtrooms. A judge just told a tenant who was disputing owing rent that their only option was to pay what was demanded or agree to move out. "Have a trial" was not an option the judge provided.

Israel has pushed ground forces into multiple areas of southern Lebanon They've displaced huge numbers of civilians... Yet it barely registers. Russia did the same in Ukraine and the world responded with sanctions, outrage and coordinated pressure The double standards are UNFORGIVABLE.

The aesthetic of making trucks look tough and muscular has made them so dangerous for pedestrians. The taller front-ends are more likely to hit internal organs (rather than legs) and an additional 1,500 pounds means a lot more damage inflicted on pedestrians.

I mean, I still don't feel like a woman if I'm being honest. But if I'm going to feel like I'm putting on a performance no matter what I do, then it might as well be one that makes me happy rather than one that made me feel chained down

honestly i’m so exhausted by conversations about the bad wizard lady. “do not support our genocide, do not fund our genocide, do not enable our genocide” should be such an easy and low bar for allies to clear. and yet. Why? Genuinely, why? (If you try and answer that i will probably block you) 🙃
