In case someone you know doesn't know what has been happening to the trans population in the US during this administration, and you don't know where to start. You can simply share this with folks: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecu...

Don't stop. Keep your cancellations. Let them know they can't take the risk of bowing to fascism ever. This is still happening with Target because they quickly pulled all DEI. Keep hurting them with your money. They do not own our attention, they do not own our money.

They should rename it to Blahaj Blast.

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.

Allergic reaction-induced myalgia? Cool cool cool /s

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state. You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread. Don't pretend this isn't possible

Idk who needs to hear this. But I got my flu and COVID vaccination with zero hassle and for free from my local pharmacy, and I didn't even need to make an appointment. Just go get it and see what happens instead of thinking that creepy brain worm man can stop you.

It's bleak when this is the news, and yet self reported allies tell us to wait our turn. Fuck that.

So the local FBI office detained some dude for hours, then detained the nearest Middle Eastern guy for hours, then conveniently found an abandoned and still-loaded rifle with bullets conveniently engraved with some sort of ideological signal implicating the group recently blamed for all shootings.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

Same worries are with me always, too. I don't have the website concern, of course, but it's quite plausible that I might lose my license and livelihood during this administration. Yet despite it all I'm happy and I love my life. I'm thankful for each day and learning to live in the present.

28 Aug 25 -- Trump admin threatens to pull fed funding from 40 state sex-ed programs that mention transgender or gender identity. Programs aim at preventing unplanned pregnancies and STDs, and all had been previously approved by fed govt. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

I don't want to worry about transphobic bullshit when I'm LITERALLY PISSING BLOOD.

Data brokers are narcs.

"it's just one issue" and the issue is a lot of people in my minority group will die

More assholes on the "wait your turn" bandwagon.

"The harm to your community is a distraction! Focus on what *I* consider to be the most important!" 🙄🙄🙄 Do y'all even know what coalition building is? You can't do that when you're too busy telling other communities that they don't matter. Sit down and listen.

In the final analysis, a billion monkeys chained to a billion typewriters may indeed produce Hamlet, but anyone who would chain a billion monkeys to a billion typewriters isn't going to appreciate or recognize Hamlet when it finally emerges.

Yes to Gavin Newsom going on offense against 47. No to anti-trans Gavin Newsom for president. Trans rights now!! Never waiting in line for rights!! @transexualmenace.bsky.social

Rest in piss, James 😘 adfmedia.org/press-releas...

We are not amused. It is not only the GOP erasing us, Let @indivisible.org know we won't be erased by the Left or the Right!

if i got my family members bidets for xmas then they would have a bidet for me to use when i visit 🤔

I bet Ayn Rand would love Cracker Barrel's new interior design to go along with its bland-new logo

Trans folks have been the ones standing up for our rights historically. In the 90s, it was @transexualmenace.bsky.social forcing the issue. Trans people got the T in LGBTQ+, it didn't happen by waiting our turn. It's no different now. books.google.com/books?id=KmM...

Frankly the way every anti-Newsom post is attracting a giant horde of anti-trans Newsom boosters even when it has no connection to any other such post (not a quote post, etc.) makes me think there may be a level of Coordinated Inauthentic Behaviour (tm) at work here

The New York Times is complacent in this, how ironic that they're now covering it. You assholes released Anti-Trans podcasts at the beginning of pride month. Go crawl back onto your disgusting cave and leave reporting to ppl with moral integrity.

Good for the PANTHERS!

Still mourning the loss of Design Cuts. What a great resource for so many years. Creative Market just doesn't compare.

How people lie with bar graphs

A deluxe version of an album 2 years after the original release bothers me. Like, people didn't give your album the attention you wanted back then, do you think that'll change? Keep working on the next album silly goose.

Love this. Similarly to all the cisgendereds who continue to dismiss all cognitive dissonance tied to trans rights in the US. Gotta love that even now, folks still say there are more important things, as if it's not all connected.

However much you hate these people isn't enough. They do not care about laws, they care about being cruel to people they hate and profiting off of it. If the law won't stop them, you need to start asking yourself who will and how we'll do it.

Sup.

All the gays that voted MAGA have another coming out to do.

never falling for the propaganda that my neighbors are my enemies, never believing in whatever unproven & shadowy threat propagandists are pushing

Please read this, friends. I'm on Elias's dissertation committee. Mike hosted me when I came to speak at Vermillion Pride in 2022, and I was the first author signing that Outside of a Dog bookstore had. This is the real life impact of these bills.

Weapons x Campbell's collab when?

I have the reading list from my original Cyborgs & Cybernetics undergrad seminar here! danyaglabau.com/2018/09/07/c... It's been updated with new pop culture + scholarship since then, and we've had AMAZING guest speakers over the years, but this is all still relevant

Transgender people aren't even close to the real problem. We just show everyone what the real problem is, which is that standards for women are so severe society thinks it's ok to destroy you if you don't meet them.

I swear it's the year of the saxophone. So many new albums have a saxophone moment in them. Indie, Prog Metal. It's all sorts of places I didn't expect lol

Sex as a disabled trans person helped me forget gendered expectations 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/sex-as-a-disabled-trans-person-helped-me-forget-gendered-expectations/

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
