people aren't socialized into their gender roles, people are socialized into the patriarchy, which rigidly defines gender. white cis women have been crucial to elect Trump, a pedophile rapist, twice now.

This one. This is the piece I hope I'm remembered for. www.jezebel.com/when-surgeon...

I have trans kids. I am not a weirdo. I swear.

trans journalists you should follow who cover trans lives well and deserve your support: @katelynburns.com @sydney-bauer.com @kissphoria.bsky.social @oriion.bsky.social @parkermolloy.com cis person who covers it this in congress MUCH better than erin: @ericmgarcia.bsky.social

I have been meaning to cancel spotify but I kept ADHDing out, but I happen to have seen this on a day I took my meds so about to switch and yell at spotify about why.

Discourse around "food stamps" gonna make me pop a blood vessel or some shit. Like people need food dawg how is there a dissenting opinion on that??

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth. I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

just want to call this out because Trump has already been saying this but it is seeming unlikely that Trump will approve of ACA credit extensions if they don't include provisions that ban trans care from being covered on those plans. watch very closely to make sure Dems don't go along w/this idea.

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

"At some point you will feel and express rage, and you will doubtless be right to do so." #transrightsarehumanrights

I think it's useful to unpack this. If Democrats agree with Republicans on excluding women's sports, what's the harm? Is it primarily harm to trans women who play sports, or is there something more to it? A reasonable person who doesn't know much about trans issues could ask these questions.

The Trump administration effectively created a de facto bathroom ban at Brown University and none of the major media is covering it, and if they do, they character it as about sports. This is how the trans visa ban was enacted and characterized. www.advocate.com/news/transge...

HUGE: The Trump administration will no longer permit any solar or wind projects on federal lands unless they produce more energy-per-acre than coal, gas or nuclear power plants. Solar and wind literally produce less energy per acre, so simply this may just kill off any project on federal lands.

DOJ put out a memo stating that all recipients of federal funding must ban trans people from bathrooms. www.justice.gov/ag/media/140...

Brown University is caving to Trump. They are banning trans women from female bathrooms, dorms, locker rooms, and sports across campus. They're also cracking down on trans care for minors, though that is unlikely to be broadly impactful since it's a university. president.brown.edu/president/br...

Chiming in once again that sex-segregation is not a very good solution to privacy or safety concerns! Please just build a nicer bathroom for everyone. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

This article FUCKS Finally, the "biological woman" farce elucidated in plain terms by someone other than transfems :D

"I can't believe The New York Times did this" Trans kids? Claudine Gay? Gaza? At some point we have to stop being surprised. The right sees the Times as a vehicle for laundering its conspiracy theories and injecting it into elite America and the Times is very happy to oblige them.

I've long suggested NY Times subscribers nuke their accts. Esp non-news users since Games + Wirecutter money funds their smug fashwashing, identitarian hit pieces, & propagandists in their Op Ed army. If you can't live without NYT at least keep yr Connections chiclets & Wordle streaks to yourself.

After Fox News, no outlet has been more helpful to the ongoing rise of fascism in the United States than the New York Times. And it’s not even close.

shocking news: that thing i've been pitching to orgs for years and recently been yelling about all the time because nobody's doing it? we're doing it ourselves. hard to believe, i know.

🕊Rest in power to the 350 transgender people were murdered in the last year. According to the annual Transgender Murder Monitoring Report, this year marks a "significant increase" from last year. These numbers are also likely only the tip of the iceberg 🧵 www.wearequeeraf.com/350-transgen...

Sports access fairness is one of the cornerstone successes of Title IX regulations in the United States, and this is precisely the correct framework for scrutinizing trans sports bans. They do not promote fairness and access for (cis) women. Their intent and effect are singularly to obstruct access.
