i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Republicans are trying to criminalize all lifesaving transgender healthcare nationwide. Again. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP THIS. Democrats in congress have the power to force the removal of these horrific riders, BUT THEY WILL ONLY LISTEN IF WE SHOUT.

Millions of people boycotting & speaking out in unison put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. Let’s not forget he’s not the only victim of fascism. For every Kimmel there’s hundreds more who’ve been silenced for their views that we may never hear of. Fight for them.

...knowing Jəsse's the author (& that gender-affirming care practitioners are well aware of his biases & tactics) utterly changes the meaning of the last paragraph. without attribution, it makes it sound like the authors are suspiciously dodging the question. in actuality they know he's a bad actor!

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

tylenol is basically worthless, i ate like half a bottle and guess what, still hungry

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

it’s always something c’: turns out my iPad is having hardware issues and the wifi card is dying, so i’ve set up a crowdfund for a replacement over on Throne. i’m aiming to put away a lil money every month towards replacing it. throne.com/hypofroge/it... 🎁

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

It's funny how immigration rhetoric completely falls apart when you remember that borders and national identity are literally made up bullshit and we're all meant to sit around a campfire and eat delicious food and sing songs together

Trailer.

elite centrist/lib transphobia is one of those classic contrarian things where they’ve built up a huge pile of facially convincing “evidence” that collapses immediately if you put it under serious scrutiny

TELL bsky you have an issue with this! 1) KEEP talking about it - don't let this issue fade away 2) Submit feedback to bsky! TELL them its not okay! On PC: on the right under "trending" On mobile: on the left under "settings" 2/🧵

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

Sex work is work, porn is normal actually, naked bodies are not inherently sexual. I'm fucking grey-asexual. I don't find most of this stuff titillating, but I do happen to think that human experience expressed through art is worth protecting rather than censoring, and so are human beings.

HEY YOU, BLUESKY USER Do you like art on the site? Then you'd better go give the site's moderators a piece of your mind, because they're looking to instate guidelines on October 15th that *massively* censor art on this platform. Make noise in the comments, submit feedback forms on their site, go.

the people who would remove sex from our lives or demonize our very bodies are attempting to make our lives poorer

Restocked.

This was because said dev made a joke about if the shooter's name was Mario. Because, y'know. Mario and Luigi. Extremely tame stuff. But they fired an employee at the behest of a Twitter mob THAT WAS ALREADY BOYCOTTING THEIR GAME. The same mob that was harassing the star of their game. Dumbfucks.

Disney seems pretty screwed here. They want to be a company that sells to everyone, but now they face a president and political movement that demands everyone care only about them, which includes hating who they hate, except they’re less than half the country, and even less of the global audience.

look you can allow art that grosses you out to exist or you can be a fascist. "But surely there can be an exception for--" nope. exceptions mean you're a fascist. "But--" NOPE. fascist.

This guy just walked around the Charlie Kirk vigil in Boston, yelling Kirk quotes through a bullhorn

There is! I'm trying not to rely on it unless I absolutely have to, but if you don't want to be giving Twitch any money I entirely understand. ko-fi.com/senabryer

IN THE FIGHT AGAINST FASCISM PORNOGRAPHERS HAVE YOUR BACK DO YOU HAVE THEIRS?

Trans Rights are Human Rights Being able to exist should never even be questioned as “safe for work” or not

They're making the sunsets transgender!

putting this on your timeline again

It’s really becoming frightening the things that I’m seeing in the media. It’s one thing for bigots to be bigots, I expect bigots to be the awful people that they are. #trans #transgender #queer #genderqueer #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia #transrights #transrightsarehumanrights #twtransphobia

Jesus christ. It angers me deeply how not a single damn person in power who wants to at least pretend like they give a shit shout trans people will read even one damn book about the history of sex segregation in sports, cause you’d see how it’s all just sexist bs. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Fucking incredible to lose to a sundowning racist gameshow host, one of the most humiliating political defeats in American history, and then put out a book like "no no no, you guys got it all wrong, I hate trans people too!"

Lord alive, they want fictional characters in fictional sexual situations to model consent for literal adults like a patronizing early 2020’s sitcom where the point of the writing is to convey that the writer’s been to therapy at some point

until we see concrete evidence that bsky’s tiny ass moderation team has the manpower to enforce those new content guidelines, posting CAN and SHOULD continue completely unchanged until proven otherwise, it’s empty words. call their bluff

Days like today make me think about how greenday made sure everyone knew they were all queer years before being gay was legal in the US. And made it especially obvious in American idiot a few years after being was legalized. I'm glad I've always had them to look up to

This platforms moderation is currently unable to tell the difference between artistic/non-sexual nudity and explicit pornography How do you expect them to be able to differentiate between consensual and non-consensual?

They have this button on the right hand column that in addition to public shaming, lets you shame them in other useful ways

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

Capitulation only emboldens them. Don’t give up an inch.

regular reminder that the people who created your favorite characters were largely marginalized individuals with antifascist views

The federal govt wants to rescind the Roadless Rule, which would open 45 million acres of public land for private interests - disrupting wildlife habitat, destroying carbon sinks, and imperiling outdoor recreation in the places we love TODAY is the last day for public comment - file yours now!!

Charlie Kirk was a vicious, racist trust fund baby who made the world a worse place. I am the CEO of Antifa Inc. and I approve of this message.

this is so funny. buy my console that sucks shit for more money while i actively support a genocide. yeah man okay

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Below is a helpful thread if you're like me and felt paralyzed seeing the initial article without context. Obviously this is still bad news but it's more helpful to fact-check than to spread undue panic among the trans community when we're already struggling to just get through each day this year.
