each of us contains the full genetic instructions for both testosterone & estrogen driven hormone loadouts (along with varying combos of both) this can be changed at any time. our genes will even start expressing themselves differently within ~3-6 months. this is an existential threat to fascists.

gotta say, cold weather gear is great for face dysphoria. blacknoirmoding

"Elon’s entire incoherent free speech framework collapses into a single coherent principle: speech I like is protected, speech I don’t like should be punished. This is what happens when someone who never understood the actual principles of free speech tries to cosplay as a free speech absolutist."

What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere

It's up over 55k now. I'm being kicked out of the National Guard as a MEDEVAC pilot after 15 years of service. I will receive nothing. No severance. No education benefits. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Just a FU, get out. America rewards the worst people, and punishes those who tried to be good.

Counter proposal: public hangings of tech billionaires.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Man who spent his four years in power effectively dead: Y'all need to get up and fight!

After a banner year of Warner Bros putting unique, filmmaker driven original movies into theaters and getting giant audience turn out for them, the corporation that now owns them would like you to know that actually you didn’t like this and that what you really wanted was to watch at home.

Lmaooo when your movies bomb and you see the support Sabrina Carpenter got for telling the WH to fuck off

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies. This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week. This is almost everything the government is doing.

Instead of a song being stuck in my head, today what's stuck in my head is the "fuck ya life. bing-bong!" pigeon video.

It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

industrial music is back again baby

it's actually insane how much better about myself I feel when I wear makeup it's not even funny. unfortunately I've also becomed obsessed with the idea of wanting to pass regardless of whether I'm wearing makeup or explicitly feminine clothing what can I say? I'm my own worst enemy

Illinois needs to retaliate with a 18-0 democratic map. VA needs a 10-1 dem.

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

In case you are wondering why I know this, I wrote a history of psyops in the United States, called "Stories Are Weapons". It makes a depressing holiday gift. wwnorton.com/books/978039...

people like Sabrina Carpenter saying essentially "decent people don't want the stench of ICE or this White House anywhere near them" to an audience of millions that includes a lot of young people helps empower them against ICE while reminding ICE agents that everyone hates them, both big wins

where are antitrust laws when you need them. BIG BUSINESS HAS GOT TO GO!

Trans women continue to be maligned as predators and invaders even as regimes basically make it legal to rape us.

New from me: The DOJ plans to dismantle protections for trans and intersex people in federal, state, and local prisons, jails, and youth detention facilities, according to a government memo obtained by Prism.

Here's the important thing: mandatory online age verification is a major threat, but it's not a done deal. We saw major disagreement in Congress during the House hearing yesterday, and there is rising opposition to these misguided policies. We need to get louder. www.teenvogue.com/story/some-d...

Privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice laws would do a lot more to protect kids than age verification, but lawmakers are always looking for the "easy fix" so they can say they protected kids without actually doing anything to address the harmful surveillance capitalist biz model of Big Tech

🚨 EVERYONE PLEASE RESKEET THIS FOR VISIBILITY!!! 🚨 A big coalition of LGBTQ+, abortion access, and human rights groups led by @fightforthefuture.org are organizing a WEEK OF ACTION this week against online ID checks, aka "age verification" laws. Join us: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/stop...

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE. This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

This Giving Tuesday, consider a tax-deductible donation to support TNN (and get a lovely gift). Our reporting is in-depth, hard-hitting and unrepentantly radical. Every dollar goes towards keeping trans journalists out of poverty and informing the public about what our communities are facing.

Grading your students paper, winning sports, joining the girl guides, what will trans women be banned from next week! Place your bets, personally i think trans women shouldnt be allowed to order drinks at the bar first if there’s any superior cis women waiting in line

You notice how if trans women are allowed at all to participate in, well, anything, as soon as they upset a ciss by grading their paper bad or winning the sports thats an outrage to be banned

don't worry y'all I'm just a temporarily embarrassed woman

People who are not interested in politics are being radicalized into rightwingdom by refrigerators. Late stage capitalism, y'all.

Van Hollen was already one of the leading critics of the Israeli state in the Senate but you can really tell Mamdani's victory has emboldened him, among others.

depression: nothing matters. anxiety: everyone hates you. chronic pain: just stay in bed. trauma: you can’t trust anyone. immortal tulpa of that lobster from the little mermaid I created in 1998: don worry lil mama every ting gwan be irie.

at some point you have to stand up and say "I think trannies are worth fighting for and deserve dignity" and that's the one thing no one wants to actually commit to

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

on the grind to lose another twenty pounds and then regain it all back so I can have BOOB GROWTH. also likely starting prog and getting a referral for an FFS consult on the 19th. we're speedrunning this transition baby, anywoman%

never gonna forget the millennial trans guy I used to work with that loved Harry Potter, even after I told him about how that directly supports funding against trans rights

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

Imagine you're a trans grad student teaching a course, a student starts a national hate campaign against you, and a senior faculty "ally" says "skill issue, you invited it on yourself" - and then trans ppl get accused of being too paranoid about being shut out of public life

[trans people fired from all federal jobs] [trans people fired from all military jobs] [trans people fired from jobs everywhere] [cis people fired for being accused of being trans] [cis professors fired for mentioning trans people exist] [trans teacher fired for giving a bad grade to Nazi] liberal:

Happy 44th birthday to the iconic Britney Spears.

You know what? I don't care if it looks bad. I'm getting bangs this month. Fuck it.

have you ever looked into what topics Hemingway was writing about in that manifesto when they died

The “trans debate” reduces trans lives to a policy dilemma. This is an evasion of moral responsibility. “treating somebody with ‘dignity and respect’ does not include enabling and engaging in widespread public discourse about the locations that people could be banned from entering.”
