As a trans girl with a terrible father who continues to try and snipe at her when able, who has ignored the holiday for the better part of her life, it's categorically based to still love your father if he's good and supportive and have great reverence for Father's Day. 💜

jesus fucking christ the UK just made v-coding a JUDICIAL DEMAND.🤮 Not just an assumed part of a trans woman's sentence, but a REQUIRED one.🤮

I legitimately cannot overstate how bad it would be for trans people in the United States if the FTC wins this suit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

NEW ESSAY: Origins of the Anti-Trans “Groomer” Slur. it provides historical context, a timeline of how it spread, & how it shapes anti-trans/LGBTQ legislation. pls share! on Medium (friend link): juliaserano.medium.com/origins-of-t... & Substack (no paywall): juliaserano.substack.com/p/origins-of...

@sailormarsdaddy.bsky.social Aww come on, you're not gonna call me a bitch or hysterical to my face? Pathetic. Stop harassing women.

you know the "passing privilege" conversation is a lot more complex for twoc when like, even entirely provably cis women with children are often called men as a form of racist degendering but I guess I won't elaborate further because what's the point

To be a trans woman of colour is to be a totem, a fetish, a dehumanised symbol of liberation both gendered and racialised, who will be elevated by the adoring masses so long as she has the good sense to keep her fucking trap shut, or be already dead.

Alright literally right away we have rhetoric about how humanity is in "in danger of marring its true identity" and makes open declarations comparing itself to rerum novarum, the papal statement by the last Leo who said "join a union," alongside "but we shouldn't question hierarchy tho lol" so..hm

Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this. This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.

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

8 democrats, including 3 members of the Congressional Equality Caucus, voted with republicans to make sure this passed. Fix yourselves. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA-07) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY-04)

Though he's been fired by this point, there's no meaningful statement from BGG, and that guy worked there for 20 years. TWENTY HUMAN YEARS. This cannot be the first time this has happened. Just the first time it wasn't swept under the rug.

Melania Trump infesting the White House with bees is the funniest thing no one's talking about right now #Bees #WhiteHouse

The adults in my life were absolutely *floored* by my choice to starve. Still didn't ACCEPT it most of the time - my dad did actually forcefeed me a couple of times - but they seemed so utterly unable to process that I'd make that choice in the first place. Can't handle a child's agency.

Anyone saying 'we should pay our elected politicians more' needs to either be talking about UBI FIRST in that conversation(nobody is doing this) or stop suggesting that MORE MONEY is the solution to corruption. Pay them more, and the rich WILL STILL BUY THEM WITH EVEN MORE MONEY. Be for real here.

clavicular allegedly overdosing on a date rape drug (that he took himself intentionally) is... terrifying but not surprising. way more men than you might think just, have drugs like that. they target trans women's drinks as any other women. never leave your drinks unattended, or trust bouncers.

Every historian worth their shit that studies fascism & domestic discord is so funny because they’re all the nicest people alive & they all come to the same conclusion which is that yeah you just gotta kill these guys. Can’t leave one alive.

“Reporters and editors can’t report on everything they know second- or third-hand til they have it confirmed” Okay did anyone think to tell the women in this fucking rapist’s path?? Could you spare some time from being a Noble Journalist to FUCKING PROTECT WOMEN

Let me make it clear to all my male followers the BARE MINIMUM expected of you: If you know that a man is grooming women to rape them, TELL THE WOMEN and make DAMN sure you are not responsible for putting women in their midst. LITERALLY BARE MINIMUM

How about you SUPPORT THE WOMEN THESE MEN ASSAULT AND RAPE? If you KNOW it's happening, surely you KNOW some victims who could really use your fucking help, right? You watched this happen for a decade in silence, and that is not excused by 'but I had no evidence'. YOU failed. This is gross.

Oh hey, I am once again going to talk about lack of distress tolerance, specifically for shame, and how it ties together AI, the “male loneliness epidemic,” Trumpism, and yes, people’s indignation that anyone might think they’re a bad person for continuing to buy Harry Potter merch.

My 2023 book Burn It Down has chapter about exactly this & LCK mentioned obv. Not trying to sell books, get it from library if inclined. Tl;dr: if someone does not do the hard, consistent work of amends, repair & reparation, there doesn’t have to be a path back. If not, experts agree: fuck that guy.

People on here rightly are pissed by the way Democratic politicians post as if they are witnesses to what's happening instead of ACTORS in what's happening. It's absolutely pathetic and weak.

I swear I'm totally normal about monster tongues on attractive women.

I'm going to live forever, or die trying.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Hi @joshpetri.bsky.team! You need to go have a conversation with Why, immediately! Again! This dev team has no excuse to talk down to users like this, especially not while introducing unwanted AI *anything*, and also giving said AI unlimited permissions access Stop this bsky.app/profile/why....

The world would be better.

"Hey AI how does this poll look?" "IT LOOKS FINE" "But it's so suspicious though." "YOU ARE CORRECT IT IS SUSPICIOUS" "So as you can see by my repeated attempts to get the AI to agree with me, the AI agrees with me!" Thanks for making it easy to ignore you, Karen.

At a deep and fundamental level, I don’t understand why people thing the God of the Bible is good. Do they not read it? Do they lack reading comprehension How is a burning bush in the desert that spreads plagues and hates women, gays and disabled people “good”

Congrats to Gandalf the Grey, Gandalf the White, the Black Knight, Benito Mussolini, the Blue Meanie, Cowboy Curtis, Jambi the Genie, Robocop, Terminator, Captain Kirk, Darth Vader, Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S Preston, Theodore Logan, Spock, the Rock, Doc Ock and Hulk Hogan

i had revenge porn posted of me, my favorite game show of 20 years got ruined because of it, i continue to be put on harassment lists to this day, i have no money to see my friends and family from home who i MISS. I dont know what else to say except help me survive please!

Hey. Hey guess what. Guess what day it is? It's our birthday, and the Vagina Museum is nine years old today. The world has changed massively in those nine years. We started out with a tweet... and now we're a vibrant community space, dedicated to education and celebration!

If there is going to be a reckoning about violence in progressive organizing spaces, we need to be prepared to hear survivors’ critiques of restorative justice. A lot of progressives think restorative justice is the only path forward, but it can be weaponized and co-opted just like other processes.

As a kid, I was the tallest in my family, with the longest and fastest stride, by a pretty wide margin. When the whole fam went somewhere, dad and older sib would just take off and go... and I'd drop back to walk with my mom, and her bad back and slow pace, and we'd get there when we got there.

Kathleen was asked by a coworker about how they could learn more about the ASL Interpreters Union, which is organizing workers who serve Deaf people making phone calls. Kathleen's manager overheard. Two days later, she was fired. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

An assortment of groups has submitted a set of awful proposals to the FDA concerning estrogen as HRT. theneedlenews.com/anti-trans-h... Public comment is still open. If you comment opposing these proposals and send me a screenshot, I'll draw you a sketch in this thread (link+examples below).

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

This is gross. You're being gross here. People who want to call themselves trans allies should stop putting trans people on blast for no reason. Stop encouraging and inciting harassment against trans people. That's more material aid than your 'In This House' sign. And you can't even do that.

Literally everything the Heritage Foundation suggests is nauseating “The state’s proposed “trigger laws,” …are direct challenges to Plyler v. Doe, a narrowly decided 1982 Supreme Court case that enshrined the right to a free K–12 public education regardless of immigration status.”

Happy International Women's Day~ Shout your existence to the world. Let all hear your joy, your sorrow, your defiance, your love. The world needs you to be as YOU as you can possibly be. Let loose every dark crevice of your soul. We need you, in full form, even if it is terrifying.
