The BC Greens have elected a 25-year-old climate activist as their new leader. Progressive politics in Canada are in the midst of a fascinating turning point, and I am so curious to see what other parties (cough, federal NDP, cough) choose to take or not take from this. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Every time I try to take a nice picture of Hobgoblin, she yawns and I end up with this

A report from @transjournalists.org found that more than 40 media outlets published misinformation about "transgender ideology" after Charlie Kirk’s killing

Today marks four years on T. If my time on testosterone was a university student, it would have a Bachelor’s degree by now!! It is still wild to me that my life hasn’t always been like this. Forever grateful for access to the health care I need to be able to grow this silly little mustache 🙏👨🏻

More than 40 media outlets published anti-trans misinformation in the wake of the Charlie Kirk shooting, according to research from @transjournalists.org Here's why that's such a big deal ⬇️ (Video for @xtramagazine.com by me and @cody.boats ) www.tiktok.com/@xtramagazin...

Elenore Sturko, who stopped publicly supporting sexual orientation and gender identity learning after she defected from United BC last year, was kicked out of the Conservative Caucus yesterday. Our June report from @kehyslop.bsky.social on how candidates weigh identities, values and ambitions:

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

kamala harris is the latest high-ranking democrat to fall for the right-wing moral panic about trans kids in sports

Danielle Smith's office has reportedly instructed government officials to prepare for using the Notwithstanding Clause to force through her government's three anti-trans laws, according to leaked correspondence

!! They tried being good at football and it worked !!

I simply think the Eagles should try being good at football. Have they considered that?

Today I learned I'm cited on the Wikipedia page for the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

My story on the leaked memo indicating that Alberta premier Danielle Smith plans to use the Notwithstanding Clause and circumnavigate trans kids' rights in forcing through her government's three anti-trans laws. xtramagazine.com/video/albert...

"This is not simply an isolated act of violence. It is a spark amidst a volatile moment for American democracy, that could set some very dangerous things in motion," writes @melwoods.me

Cher as Lorde voice: "WHAT was that?"

It's been one week since I wrote this, and something things have managed to get so much worse for all of us so much faster than I even expected xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Not the old man in the middle of this coffee shop loudly reading out his full credit card information while on speaker phone 😫

Alberta's trans sports ban already having an impact: "There are stories of a scheduled exhibition game being filled in by a co-ed squad because there weren’t enough girls to fill a team. There are stories of girls who are refusing to sign the forms." edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Seems bad!!!

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

lately when i’m feeling hopeless i just think of the Katamari cat wearing scuba gear. if she can survive in an inhospitable environment then so can i

It seems that the only trans person known to be in the orbit of this horrific Kirk assassination saga expressed shock and horror, and immediately cooperated fully with law enforcement.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

These media outlets and government officials bending over backwards to connect the Charlie Kirk shooter to "transgender issues"—no matter how tenuously—are fostering a dangerous atmosphere for trans people. My video today with what we know: www.tiktok.com/@xtramagazin...

I recently saw someone refer to a can of Diet Coke as a "fridge cigarette" ... if so, I'm smokin' a pack a day!!

new from me: officials in west hollywood and fire island are facing backlash for flying pride flags at half-mast in remembrance of conservative commentator charlie kirk

Right-wing media and powerful government officials are working overtime to connect trans people to the shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. @melwoods.me writes that this is part of a dangerous trend that has ramped up in recent years

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

“West Hollywood Pride flags lowered in honour of Charlie Kirk” is truly an insane thing to have happened

In the days since Charlie Kirk's shooting, right-wing media, government officials and powerful figures like Elon Musk have CONTINUED to scrape for any connection they can draw to trans people. And this will be used to threaten and harm us and our rights. xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

what on earth www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

At a minimum, this should get the New York Post kicked off this website

Officials have released details of the messaging on the bullets from Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter. There is reportedly no "transgender ideology" to be found. So why did media like the Wall Street Journal rush to link trans people to this act of violence? xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Once again: trans people didn't ask to get pulled into any of this. And yet time and time again it keeps happening!! xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

A bit rich coming from Poilievre when his own wife retweeted a post by Andrew Scheer directing the right-wing mob to go after @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. His family’s safety matters. No so much those who don’t subscribe to his political project.

any outlet that reported the “pro-trans ideology on bullet casings” thing owes the public an apology and an explanation if you are serious about turning down the temperature, start by showing some shame and regret for your role in turning it up in the first place by allowing yourself to be played
