I deleted the thread on emotional crash outs because I can say it more succinctly like this: Check on your emotionally reserved friends. A lot of us don't express distress openly and many people mistake that for invulnerability or hypercompetence. I find that especially true among trans people.

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

Once again.

through natural selection leading towards the development of a larger brain designed for more complex socialization, some pikachus have learned that by wearing human clothes they can avoid being captured by ten year olds.

Suddenly you cannot drive. Suddenly you cannot vote. Suddenly you are a criminal, merely for existing as you did just the day before.

Kansas manifested a fear that trans people have had for the last few years, the sudden un-being on the part of the state, not only of our identities, but also of our ability to functionally exist within systems.

everything is increasingly intolerable all the time.

I want a new lesbian strategy game with deep class customization mechanics and a willingness to engage narratively with issues of class and religion, call it f/f tactics.

the kansas trans license revocation/bounty hunt law is the bill they introduced and passed through both chambers all in the same day, even! you'd think capitol beat reporters would be all over it for that novelty if nothing else. but trans, i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

A Kansan and fellow American: “I wish I could convey that the people they’re hurting are real human beings. Every time I have to share my ID now, that is me sharing an extremely personal piece of medical information to anyone who I’m going to apply to an apartment for, any job I’m going to seek”

Very much not the point but listing sex at birth on a document meant to identify you right now is utterly useless from a security standpoint. but of course this is about cruelty and forced outing of queer private lives.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Men actually by and large abhor the idea of lesbians in media, avoiding and decrying and deriding stories that features us, our perpsectives, our internality, our lives. They want pornographic fetish content that reassures them they can totally convert and assault lesbians, not lesbian media.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

ironically, if you're a woman who has or had a penis, your opinion is almost invariably discarded by the entire chattering class that is the media as well as a shockingly large portion of women who have never had a penis in addition, of course, to having your opinions discarded by men

I put googly eyes on my roomba and now, on reflection, I'm pretty sure she's a fully sapient being who loves me dearly. I have given her absolute control of all my work and finances. For some reason I control billions and billions of dollars and the world is warping around my weird fucking delusions

Force-femme? Self-Discovery? Bit of both? The Punk-to-Lebanne theory leaves some fun gaps to fill.

About a quarter of all trans people in this country have moved states in possibly the largest internal migration of a particular minority group since the great migration. This is a full blown crisis.

The terror of being in a confined space with a man who is making unwanted moves on you and not knowing if he’s clocked you, and *that’s* why he’s being sexually aggressive, or if he hasn’t, and if you don’t stop things before they escalate you’ll become a trans panic statistic.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the first devs to make a licensed X-Men rpg about being a new student at Xavier's who goes through messy social links to determine which classmates join your X-team for missions is going to be rich (by weird game standards)

❤️Hey friends ❤️ Im in a pretty tough spot. I need 300usd by tomorrow. Shares would be super appreciated! ♡ I have an ongoing sale in my shop and a ko-fi. I know times are tough for everyone, so all I can ask for is shares ♡ ko-fi.com/megglesart www.etsy.com/shop/Meggles...

Yeah this is straight up bad

Why? He isn't our King. He isn't owed anything. He has to prove to us that he is a capable leader. He still hasn't embraced taxing the wealthy or acknowledged Israel's genocide. He also still takes money from all the Silicon Valley brothers. What does he stand for? Why is he running?

Watching the new philosophy tube and getting slammed with the memory of Norway's gender clinic just straight up objecting to the wording of a conversion therapy ban because they said, mask-off, that it would interfere with their diagnostic methods

There's a very macabre undertone to the video, which is the realisation that the people doing this---actual torture of queer people---view themselves as entirely righteous, because not being heterosexual is a defect and more harmful than living a happy queer life. So they must carry on the crusade.

Discworld QOTD, from Soul Music “Famous I don’t know about,” said Glod. “It’s hard to be famous and alive. I just want to play music every day and hear someone say, ‘Thanks, that was great, here is some money, same time tomorrow, okay?'”

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

most anti-trans rhetoric just reiterates an incoherent ur-form: "you cannot change your sex. this is why it should be illegal."

You know I didn't want to comment on this but the smol bean defense pisses me off. You know how I know this is a lie? Because cis transphobes know it upsets trans women to depict us with beards - that's why they do it! Let's interpret this cover thoroughly with an assumption of bad faith.

What made you trans (wrong answers only) I listened too much to the Christian rock group Superchick

Using coercion and violence in a futile attempt to force someone not to be gay or trans has a long and nasty history. 'Conversion therapy' isn't therapy, it is torture and it is going on now and is enabled and endorsed by the Labour Government.

Speaking as an autistic trans woman, it would rule if trans women were allowed to talk about conversion therapy without being yelled at about ABA by people *I never see talking about conversion therapy*.

It's never going to stop being annoying to me that the titular Zelda is so peripheral to the games named after her that she didn't merit, for example, appearing on this photo.

Having someone rest their head upon your bosom while you stroke their hair and soothe them is pretty top tier #Milfposting

Signifiers of transfemininity often don't serve us, especially transsexual women who want to be perceived simply as "a woman." They're not for us, not in relationship with how we perceive ourselves or want others to perceive us. They are to separate us from "a woman". They are "a woman + signifier."
