The trans community’s trust in the NHS’ new puberty blocker trial is low and I can’t help but wonder whether they could have prevented that by involving ANY trans people in its design or operation, and maybe not involving several people who have attended conferences of anti-LGBTQ hate groups

For folks heading to #PaxU and itching to kill time on the trip, consider listening to The Chaos Protocol! It’s poetic, fantastical, intense, emotional, trans as hell, and rooted in our signature noncolonial and orientalist approach to storytelling. ✨ Available wherever you pod your casts!

It's Trans Day of Remembrance. They won't ever be able to get rid of us, no matter what. No amount of hateful legislation can change the fact of our existence.

trans people who kill themselves because they aren't allowed to be themselves are murdered

If you're a cis person looking for ways to connect with the Trans Day of Remembrance, here's a list of suggestions: 1) Money. Give money to trans people. Especially to black trans people. Save the speeches and the somber memes. Give. Money. Not to the Trevor Project, to trans people. End of list.

with alt text, because everyone deserves a good cry. come over.

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

It's my birthday today! ☺️ If you could spare a repost, it would be much appreciated!

Update: The State Department has once again changed the language back to saying transgender people's passports will be valid "until they are invalidated pursuant to federal regulations."

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways

What news on the winds? 🐉 We are thrilled to share that GODKILLER: Last Hope won Best Host and Best Actual Play Video at the NZ Web Fest! We’re honored that our story of grief, love, and viciously trans becoming is resonating across the world. Thank you, New Zealand!

homeless trans puppygirl says "rest in piss charlie kirk:" 30 day suspension for glorifying violence the federal government says "we will kill you" to random people on boats: not a violation of terms of service because state violence is legitimate violence in the eyes of liberal capitalists.

It occurred to me that the Abyssal Labyrinth might actually be a pretty nice place if you ignore what the Royal Orthodoxy of Ashendeep has to say about it. @eerieseymour.bsky.social gave me the idea to make some postcards. I still need to do 'We all have to die somewhere. Why not here?'

It’s like… if stats are auto-distributed when you level up and you’re stuck with a build that you personally don’t like, but you just have to endure it. But wait, if you beat Rennala (insurance companies) you can collect Larval Tears (HRT) and respec with Rennala (also your surgeon, somehow) !!

Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful". For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really? 1/5 🧵

The first time I read about this case, I cried. The second time, I was angry. The third time, I remembered that RBG and Scalia were fast friends, and it changed the way I saw the court forever.

1) I cackled 2) This is honestly the arc of 90% of the people I've seen who thought "I can take a spot within the status quo and change it for good" and are now some of its most vicious servants. (The other 10% realized where they were heading and got out)

Parents who will never empathize with their queer children will call it a fad, a trend, a corrupting influence of Those Damn Phones on their naturally, innately cishet child, because they refuse to acknowledge that queerness is natural. That we could be something other than what they want us to be.

I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate. That's why they hate it.

An analysis of news pieces about Trump’s anti-trans decrees found that “70 percent did not include a quote from a single trans person. Instead, journalists turned to cisgender sources — mostly government officials — to speak about trans people, their lives, and how they would be affected.”

Damn me, but all things are queer

why do our fans keep yelling at us to try to score on our opponents? do they not see the scoreboard? that is a VERY unpopular option

They gave me hope for like, three days. And then they took a kitchen knife and stabbed it while it died screaming for mercy.

Someday they're gonna write books about how the Democratic Party helped to inaugurate Trumpian fascism and there are going to be millions of Americans who won't be alive to see it because the fascists fuckimg murdered them.

As a player of sports throughout my youth I personally think the “problem” is that many people are massive sore losers with no sportsmanship. We need to get the horrible attitudes out of sports.

Love clicking on an Onion headline that sounds like it was written today only to find out it’s actually from 2021

Esther Ghey is kind of allergic to talking about the transphobic murder of her daughter as a transphobic murder, huh

Dems: “we need to stop focusing so much on making marginalized people hate us and start working harder to earn the hatred of ordinary working class Americans”

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

People should understand that the "good" Democratic senators were in on this. If you're angry but your senator voted no you should still be angry at your guy (or gal).

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

A little scout is fleeing from a frost dragon

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

Glad to have it made clear that Maine has not one but two spineless bags of scum as senators.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare
