Oh neat, all the newsletter platforms are bad

👀

In Kansas, a judge looked at the medical evidence on gender-affirming care and found the evidence simply does not support the state ban on these treatments. Don't believe the propaganda. Youth trans care is not a particularly tricky or nuanced medical question. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Also for the record: I’m a dude who looks as I do courtesy of a weekly Testosterone injection. From the bottom of my transmasc soul: Fuck these rude illustrations.

Having this devotedly anti-trans journalist cover “Testosterone” is not some neutral choice …

It is very likely this dude used AI and wound up inadvertently showing his ass via plagiarism. Which demonstrates this: If you're using AI to write an article, you're both lazy AND a plagiarizer.

There has been a distressing lowering of standards at some of the most prestigious newsrooms in the country, and no one's talking about it.

generally when you get accused of plagairism "everyone gets accused of it" is not a great rebuttal

lolll

yikes

We launch at @strandbooks.com TOMORROW, still a few tickets left to see Una, @samhita.bsky.social @reetamac.bsky.social @afeefness.bsky.social & yours truly in person!! 👉 www.strandbooks.com/steven-w-thr...

I've talked to lots of people who want to support indie journalism but are overwhelmed by how many newsletters there are. That's why we're experimenting with bundles. I'm thrilled to partner with @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social and @davejorgenson.bsky.social on this one! trustfnd.com/kattenbarge/...

hi hello if you are an editor who’d want this, feel free to reach out …

definitely

"mmMm cis pEoPLe getting SURGERY or HORMONES is just gender affirming care!" feels spiritually the same to me as "did YOU KNOW transmisogyny affects cis women too???" empty gotcha that still forefronts cis experience, a glib workaround for just talking about how we deserve control over our own lives

Meanwhile, me and so many trans journalists have zero institutional support …

Yeah I get it. Again, I’ve been really vocal about all this for … sigh, too long.

Yeah. As many others have no doubt observed, it’s such a trend, amongst the cis media. (Especially in the UK.)

Today, like every day, is a great day to drop your NYT subscription if you still have one …

I’m also a dude who’d cease to exist without said Testosterone, so: Fuck those who seek to deprive me of my healthcare, life and future …

These cis folks pretend like they don’t know what they’re doing but … they know what they’re doing. And I curse them all.

Back when we were colleagues, she seemed to have a wider range of interests than just transphobia.

ditto! I of course do not read the NYT.

Having this devotedly anti-trans journalist cover “Testosterone” is not some neutral choice …

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

For the record, this proposal specifically targets gender identity. You have until May 22nd to submit a comment

To praise cis men for taking T while you’re actively destroying trans lives is … a move. Almost wanna give her some creativity points in terms of this latest troll.

Written by the health "reporter" at the NYT who is constantly questioning every minute detail of youth gender care, seen here writing with praise about conservatives abusing testosterone.

People who think Democrats are too woke and radical now control all three branches of government, the institutional apparatus of the Democratic Party and all major media outlets. Stop fucking congratulating each other for saying it!

she’s in oakland, someone tell interpol

Just so cis folks understand, the reason we applaud Carano losing embarrassingly is she’s a piece of shit transphobe

(Now my head can’t stop thinking about Kroll Show)

ew. what an asshole.

Incredibly funny result, losing by submission in 17 seconds is sort of like running directly into the first goomba in Mario

Every Kash Patel story

extremely same.

This should be the standard for all news orgs. Here’s a useful exercise to judge a news org’s bias Do they quote ppl from [insert population group] in stories all about [insert same population group]?

In the past week, the Trump regime has sought the names of every trans kid in NYC, passed a rule that trans people must out themselves to buy firearms, and said trans people are akin to terrorists who will be "identified, mapped and neutralized". Where is the coverage? Where is the goddamn outrage?

This follows many similarly horrific weeks: bsky.app/profile/dani...

(if other trans folks wanna share their stories of being spite-powered, feel free)

indeed

the cis are unwell

truly: LOL

Someone recently on here said I should post more photos of the garden and such, so, here is me trying …

Sincerely: So grateful to those who do contribute … Always brightens my day when I see such notifications …

extremely relevant to my interests (alas) @bsky.app hope you are paying attention
