“Claims that Court expansion threatens the Court’s legitimacy presuppose that the Court has any legitimacy to threaten in the first place.”

You might have heard about the legal case involving the DOJ sending subpoenas to blue state hospitals for private medical records of trans children. For my newsletter, I went long on the Texas judge enabling this fuckery. www.burnsnotice.com/this-federal...

if you are a trans reader of mine and you struggle to explain to cis family and friends why you hurt so much lately I wrote this so you can send it to them. I feel like we know this pain intimately but I want everyone to understand it, because we are going to need help if it’s ever going to stop.

Reed O'Connor is most powerful person you've probably never heard of and he's been at the center of dozens of important legal cases over the last decade. From the ACA to Title IX, he is the guy conservatives go to for a legal win. www.burnsnotice.com/this-federal...

Today @victoriascott.bsky.social writes about Juniper Blessing, a University of Washington student who was murdered last week, and worries about the potential loss of a better future for young trans people she had always hoped was coming. www.welcometohellworld.com/this-pain-ha...

@pussy.church suspended - completely ridiculous moderation. Just normal being trans on bluesky things.

saying trans minors can't consent to trans healthcare or understand that they're trans is the same logic that's used when adults dismiss allegations of abuse from kids and yet they want to say we're the child abusers for supporting children's autonomy

by 2020, before the springer buyout, politico did a journalism& got one of the guys spearheading the attack on trans people to nakedly explain it was never about sports, that sports was the easiest way to break solidarity with trans people. i don't direct link politico.🧵 archive.is/7Jkuv

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

They'll just ignore you completely if you try to get them to actually answer what James Baldwin asks here in this 23 second long clip just 23 seconds and I've still never had a single one give him/me/us an answer not once ever

This guy is a perfect demonstration of male loneliness & how men's embrace of patriarchy self-inflicts it. On the surface this sounds reasonable, right? Men say this to women often, despite what women experience & how this contradicts men's demands & actions. But dig deeper. 🧵

Hello friends, my client Ernest Penfold has gotten into a spot of trouble again. He has been slapped with a 14-day ban over one of the other posts regarding the activities of a certain member of bluesky staff. He will be appealing this ban, so stay tuned for further updates.

just like the FBI since the beginning occasionally they’d investigate Klan stuff, or the murder of a Native American on (stolen) Federal land to keep up appearances but their favorite has always been targeting leftists they deem to be the more present threat www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Can I please have help

Juniper Blessing should have had a long, full life.

BREAKING: The morning of the Track & Field State Championship, CIF quietly & suddenly announced its trans-exclusionary policy will continue. Cis girls will get a consolation spot in events w/ a trans girl, apparently targeting AB Hernandez. This could violate CA law & CIF's own bylaws. Story TK.

Wow: Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, one of the biggest children's hospitals in the nation, will be forced to create the nation's first ever "detransition clinic" as part of a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

'Attorney General Ken Paxton said on Friday that Texas Children’s must also pay $10 million to the state because it illegally provided transgender care to kids.' www.texastribune.org/2026/05/15/t...

once again, just spitballing, what if we just provided for everyone's basic material needs

“Trans people should flee red states,” has more or less been the liberal response to the years long legal oppression and elimination of rights for trans folks. Okay, cool, so you’re funding relocation programs? You’ll provide transitional housing? You’ll pay our rent? Give us jobs? Yeah, right.

as a tranny who did flee a red state, i can confirm that i've not had a job since i left texas, had to make a crowdfunding campaign to get me out, and am still starving for cash and now having to pay rent. same as it always was, us having to look out for ourselves.

hey, remember when the VRA was first gutted in 2013, under Obama? remember how it kept getting gutted for years? remember two Democratic Presidents doing nothing to fix it? www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

The natural result when it takes four goofs to a gold bungle is, of course, to make sure that any criticism of the rule-writers receives four goofs. ... These are very serious rules for adults, now go to the no no zone.

incredibly funny that this bullshit trust and safety team is going to Streisand Effect themselves into everyone knowing about this restore @cara.city you miserable babies

They suspended @cara.city for this!!! Dogshit website run by absolute babies. It is a Serious Violation to point out that the head of trust and safety’s pants fell down and everyone saw his little red ass and laughed

Don't talk about diy to journalists and especially don't put it in the paper yourself if you're a trans journalist. Why the fuck are you tattling while they're restricting everything from vaccines to ru486? Are you touched in the head? Are you blind to obvious facts despite being a journalist?

genuinely infuriating that google removed the "define [word]" module which was ridiculously useful for well-formatted precise word information and synonyms in order to replace it with an absolutely garbage "AI overview" that just vomits useless fluff at me. literally nothing else came close before.

We always deserve it. No matter who we are, no matter what we’ve done or accomplished, we always “deserve it.” That’s what it is to be a trans woman in 2026. Whatever happens to us, we’ll always deserve it. You’ll be sure to tell us so.

A trans women or two making fun of you is the same as being forced to live in a gender you hate, after the whole internet turns against you and the people who should have protected you didn't. Think of the cis het white man in all of this why don't you?

When I worked at an elementary school I had to bring my own first aid supplies because the school itself didn’t have any

EXCLUSIVE: Melissa Hortman Died in a Shocking Act of Political Violence. This Is the Story of Her Life.

Thin people feeling insulted isn't what's wrong with the BMI. The problem with the BMI is that it's designed around white men's bodies. The problem with the BMI is that it ISN'T A CLINICAL TOOL, it's a statistical one. The problem with the BMI is its use to exclude fat people from health care.

Incredibly common explanations for disordered substance use: - I see no future for myself, there aren’t any jobs for people like me - This is the only way I can feel warmth and joy - This is the only way I can sleep through the nightmares - This is the only way I can stay awake and survive Etc

Prevention doesn’t look like DARE. Prevention looks like robust parental leave. A minimum wage adequate for a decent living. Well-funded public schools and after-school programming. Head Start. Healthy food. Community. Support for families. On-ramps to college. Safe housing for everyone.

I hope this system of mass disenfranchisement which entrenches two massively unpopular political parties doesn’t further escalate americas backslide into commonplace political violence

I support expanding the Supreme Court and establishing age/term limits. I also support holding members of the Supreme Court accountable for ethics violations through a process of impeachment. #mepolitics

Help! My Domme Is Making Me Say Nice Things About Myself

Reupping my video showing that conversion therapy in the UK is mainly caused by about 40 people who simply will not piss off and are ruining the NHS for the rest of us youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

Succubi are so appealing to transfems because they're an object of obsessive desire viewed with contempt and revulsion by the people who find gratification in their bodies and so are succubi

It is now my duty to post my favorite the expanse meme

7/x: The situation we find ourselves in now is analogous to the situation of the UK in which they are decrying the European Court of Human Rights, despite having championed it. The video below will explain while also providing you with some probably much-needed laughter:

1/x: You should read Dennie's article below (as you should ALWAYS read Dennie's work), but I want to throw out some context here that people in the US too often forget. The USA as a nation has legal obligations under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol.
