Jesse singal literally wrote a whole article about an imaginary me and then asked people to be furious at his fantasy version of me.

This is what being "more culturally normal" actually looks like.

extraordinary night for state progressives in North Carolina via boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

Looks like NC's 99th took a moral issue with that and had to lean on their values when they voted today.

There are so many talented trans journalists who struggle to get published because their being trans is seen as something that makes them inherently biased. And then there's guys like this.

I came out in 2010. Despite not even dating men up to that point, I was constantly asked "why can't you just be a gay man." Not a single person who used to ask me that, including family, has anything to do with me since I transitioned.

perfect representation of the vicious asininity of our persecution and the banal mechanisms of its implementation: these regular-ass people, the staff at the dmv, dutifully inflicting whatever absurd degradation they're told, no matter how blatantly, cruelly pointless. would you do that? will you?

In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.

I wish people would come to understand transphobia as systemic, structural, and pervasive so we could stop treating transphobia as explicitly limited to people saying "I hate trans people" and accept the way our society conditions us all to dismiss, diminish, and dehumanize trans people.

a trans friend of mine from kansas moved to amsterdam and got a letter over there telling her that her ks license is invalid and she made a post about the parallels to the nazis and immediately she was hounded by cis ppl yelling at her for falsely framing herself as a victim of fascist persecution

for cis society, transition is considered a failure state, an unfortunate, terrible, worst outcome, which is why they try so hard to prevent anyone from transitioning

No one before Ben has ever considered that trans women might actually be effeminate gay boys. No one has ever suggested such a thing to us, repeatedly, in a bid to prevent us from transitioning, or developed entire typologies around the idea, or reinforced it in multiple academic fields!

back from my socials sabbatical because for the past few weeks i've been trying to put down words about how it feels to be trans and see what's been happening at my alma mater, texas a&m university. on being trans, texan, and loving things that can't love you back: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

I don't think Jesse Singal is screenshotting a trans woman to post LOTT style on the Nazi site because he "dislikes Bluesky."

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Mar 2 NYT NY Atty Genl Leticia James orders NYU Langone Hospital to continue offering GAC to minors just 2 wks after it stopped, pointing out that it may be violating state anti-discrimination laws which bar treating a single class of patients differently.

I mean...

The NYT is not responsible for the opinions it publishes. US soldiers are not responsible for the deaths of the children it kills. The Empire is not responsible for its actions. The Empire's citizens are not responsible for supporting imperial institutions.

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

Explaining to my kid that the cast iron pan I bought from Walmart won't be their only inheritance. It will also come carefully seasoned by years worth of meals cooked with love, and also the handle covers.

it’s gritney bitch

I think people think we're exaggerating when we say the widespread use of the term "biological sex" as a term itself isn't organic. This data isn't anomalous, it comports with everything we've seen about the specific use of the term.

Once again.

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

these six words changed my life

There's a lot to be angry about in this story, but the DMV charging these people reissuance fees after stripping their IDs makes me wish Hell was real.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Just out in the open and people still pretend we have a federal government. Lol

Liberals love to be like "do you have any idea what Republicans will do to you and your family" while having little to no idea what Republicans are currently doing to you and your family.

i’m sorry that our misery at being removed from public existence is harshing your vibe

Update/Scoop— New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.

Charmed and fascinated by Chess Wars, a DOS game released in 1996 that features live-action cutscenes of medieval melee when playing pieces engage one another in battle.

Little scoop before publishing a full story on the situation later — I've obtained the email sent to all Kansas DMV employees by Kent Selk, Driver Services Manager for the Kansas Department of Revenue on how to handle the compulsory gender marker change for trans people. Full text of Selk's note:

"The electorate conspired against us to to keep us from being elected."

Along with the "prosecute the doctors" t-shirt mentioned in the piece, this org's website also sells "Make Democrats Liberal Again" bumper stickers.

If you aren’t Jewish and don’t get how this is antisemitic, I’ll do a short TLDR; Jews sometimes refer to gentiles as goy or goyim. That’s not a slur, even if it’s derogatory. If you’re a gentile saying it, specifically self-deferentially or defiantly , it’s a guaranteed Nazi dogwhistle.

if you're in nyc, you can reach out to tell the mayor to use his moxie and pluck and power to make good on the promises he made in his platform using the link in the quote.

if you're in new york state, but not city, you can also help by reaching out to your state legislature members & telling them to vote on & pass kristen gonzalez's proposed legislation from last may to establish an $8 million gender affirming care fund from last may: S7924 contact info: reps.fyi

3 years to go from "I'm a woman, don't call me a birthing person" to "hey, bitch, the goyim are waking the fuck up."
