Trans folks held a dance party in the Capitol bathroom to protest the bathroom ban on there.

Gender affirming care is older than heart surgery.

around 42% of all marriages end in divorce. that is a very high regret rate for people committing to life changing decisions. the state should do something, ultimately we should ban marriage entirely

also holy shit i appreciate the ppl doing supreme court play by play but holy fuck i dont want to see any of that shit

Sotomayor scoffs at suggestion that democratic process will protect trans people: "When you’re 1% of the population or less, it's very hard to see how the democratic process will protect you." Adds: There are many more Black people/women, & the dem process "didn't protect them for whole centuries"

Reporting from the Supreme Court on transgender rights in the Skrimetti case and I feel the weight of the moment. I will report from the court throughout the day when I am allowed my phone. Thank you all for putting me in a place where I can do this work for you.

everybody deserves to learn how to feel at home in their own body, and access to the medical care they need to make that happen

FDA Bans Captain Morgan Rum After Having Way Too Much Of That Shit In College theonion.com/fda-bans-cap...

can anyone tell me what rights have ever been won by sacrificing some rights lol

This administration is only going to speed up and get way stupider from here. Buckle up and beware of burnout.

first laser treatment on my face completed baby

four pictures i took recently that i like

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

despite the world becoming scary i still have a perhaps niave but unwaivering belief that a better world is possible

where are the cat pictures on this site

alright

Whenever we make ourselves smaller for them, they just shrink our box again.

Imagining a world where Zooey would have just apologized and said "I'm so sorry for breaking decorum, I never should have said that anti-trans bills kill trans people. It's an honor to serve with all of you, and you were right to not let me speak" instead of this.

Imagine being the first trans person in Congress and your first official act is to agree with the Republicans that you're lesser form of human. "I'm not here to fight about bathrooms" except, yeah Sarah, you ARE. Are there not trans people in Delaware whom you represent? DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE.

Cis People: This is so stunning and brave! Trans people: We're absolutely fucked. They are already going to push for a national federal bathroom ban and this just greenlit the way. This will not stop Republicans even if it makes cis people feel good.

not to be too harsh but what’s the use of transgender representation in congress if they will immediately give in to fascist demands. genuinely what’s the purpose to this at all here

The ban on trans people in bathrooms doesn't just apply to Sarah McBride, it also applies to staffers. There are multiple trans staffers in congress and this would essentially force them out. Many are not out to their colleagues either.

on this trans day of remembrance i am writing an article about using different toilets so your pee’s nitrogen doesn’t get into the watershed thank you, town meeting

We are all witnessing anticipatory obedience in real time.

“If tall women are women what is the word tall for” Someone let these people know about adjectives.

Death before detransition.

it’s wild how in 8 years we went from the failure of NC’s bathroom bill to congress imposing a bathroom bill on itself just to fuck with a single incoming member

i got to report on a town meeting last night which was cool. it was more than 4 hours and very procedural but i’ve never lived in a town meeting government before so that was way cool www.capenews.net/falmouth/new...

i miss ohio country roads and the sun setting over massive cornfields. would hit different after a day like this

Mike Johnson including this in the rules package makes me believe he’s got the votes and that Republicans will indeed be moving forward to ban Sarah McBride from the bathroom. Republicans are handing framing on transgender rights issues to Dems on a silver platter. A colossal overreach.

when the time comes & this bill has a number or is rolled into a rules package, we absolutely need cis folks to call reps about this. even GOP reps. if 1 democrat lets this go without a fight, a national bill won’t be far behind. and if the GOP isn’t unanimous, there’s a chance they won’t even try.

The theory that Trump is nominating people who will be intensely loyal to him because they have been cast aside by everyone else feels devastatingly likely.

i literally can't count the replies i got to my posts from my cis friends on insta post-election that were some form of "at least ur safe in CA" and i had to explain 1) exec orders could be enacted (and challenged in trump-packed courts) 2) he could simply make trans care unprofitable for insurers

communities make themselves and name themselves because that’s what a community bridge and by god it will always be called the tappan zee

fyi i was misled. the vaping is funny as hell but it only happens like twice and only once for long enough to actually be played for humor

i hate not being surprised

🌌 a Two Spirit trans elder of mine was abducted in a parking lot, stripped of all her clothing and possessions, and abandoned in the interior of BC in the middle of winter they wanted her to die of exposure many MANY stories I have of trans people being treated this way and it’s infuriating

going to go see conclave literally because i heard there’s a cardinal who is never on screen without ripping his vape be cool if the movie is good too tho

this is beyond amazing news

Me: I’m tired of looking at a screen. *switches from laptop to phone*
