Microsoft’s Build developer conference has been interrupted by a protester for the second day in a row. “Jay! My people are suffering!” said the unnamed tech worker. “Cut ties! No Azure for apartheid! Free, free Palestine!”

The removal of hierarchy isn’t reactionary. True freedom is impossible if you have someone with more freedoms and power above you.

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

Extremely proud of my Senator for ignoring both the Trump administration and feckless Dems who called Kilmer Abrego Garcia a distraction. He went into a dangerous place and put a lot on the line. Now bring him home.

Truly love that this is serving as a good block-lamp as well. Keep coming, fools.

[For people new to me, I signed the NYT letter ~back in the day~ and have been covering trans stories for the past 15 years since I was back at Metro Weekly (and before then at the original Law Dork) ... this is by NO means anything new from me. It just needs to be said again right now.]

And, yes, fuck Jesse Singal and those who followed him — including at the NYT — who tilled the soil to help make it possible for this hellish hate movement to grow.

To be clear: I have been busy with, well, yeah, but fuck JK Rowling and the anti-trans hate she happily basks in. (And fuck everyone over on this side of the ocean who decided that hating on a minority population like she has was the right approach to feeling better about yourself.)

one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

I have really good news to announce to everyone. Because of our reporting and many readers contacting Planned Parenthood of Arizona, the organization will NOT over comply with Trump, and is restarting its trans adult care. Good work everyone.

My latest piece, written for the Kettering Foundation. I urge organizations, nonprofits, and companies to end the cycle of over compliance with Trump threats, and show how doing so ushers in fascism. Some lessons from what we have seen in the trans community. kettering.org/do-not-compl...

my offer to america: we bring woke back

As bad as rest of the market is doing, Tesla is crashing twice as fast.

A/P [Apr 1] -- Great photo montage by A/P on the crowd at the National Mall to celebrate Trans Day of Visibility and push back on anti-trans narratives by rump, Reps, and some Dems. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

If you send your children to labor, you should have them taken

Happy #TransVisibilityDay #trans #TVD Stay strong and stay together, be yourself. You are valid, you are loved, you are wanted! The political future for us looks dark, but we will survive and thrive regardless! Please don’t give up! Seek out trans communities, and live your best life!

Good morning and happy Trans Day of Visibility! To start off your week, here is a collection of a few of the main trans stories of the week.

Massive TDOV rally expected today from 4:00-6:00 at the National Mall between 3rd and 4th streets. Go there, I know many who will be there. Be with community and show your support for transgender people. www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-n...

1. A new poll shows a massive opposition to government censorship of transgender people happening now. It also shows heavy opposition to the impacts of Trump's anti-trans executive orders... the military ban, teacher investigations, and trans youth care ban. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In light of all the AI slop, reupping this little chat I had with Ghibli's VP Atsushi Okui last week about using Princess Mononoke's original negatives to create the new 4K restoration

Please keep boycotting Target if you can!

Iowans aren't quietly acceding to their states' red shift. Only on Assigned, @valorievandieman.bsky.social has a story on the multifaceted efforts, including a commitment to trans inclusion by 1000 businesses(!), to show the GOP the trans community has strong support in the Hawkeye State.

ABC [Mar 17] -- New study in JAMA of 3,592 trans adults over 4 years found that those on gender-affirming hormones had significantly lower rates depression. CDC has found that trans people in general are 2-3 times more likely to have depression. [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

Tesla down 15%. Now is the time to double down on protests. The far right showed what they can do with Bud Light. Let those who support LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, government workers, and diversity show what we can do with Tesla. Those driving Teslas should be seen as collaborators.

1. A Federal Judge has blocked Trump's under 19 trans care ban nationwide. In the decision, he slams the Government's reliance on the Cass Review, jeopardizes youth health, and likely violates several constitutional principles. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Another Texas bill that has no chance of passing, but its wild what the fringe is putting out there. Literally makes it "fraud" to be trans.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.

I’d rather my tax dollars go to the poor so they can buy food instead of going to billionaires so they can buy more Republicans.

I am currently getting multiple reports that Google, in an attempt to remove pronouns in the US government email accounts, just removed pronouns for every private workplace account in the world. If you use Google workspaces, go check on that and confirm for me. Overcompliance leads to stupidity.

USAToday [Feb 24] -- In a setback for Trump admin, a fed judge indefinitely blocks move of 12 trans women to men's prison, finding women likely to prevail & indefinitely extending a Jan 30 TRO. Judge rejected govt argument that women would be "safer" in men's prison.[@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

GayCityNews [Feb 25] -- My piece with Denise Norris on the sudden and unexpected resurgence of the trans street action group, Transexual Menace, 30 years after its founding. [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

This is informative. Thanks

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

There was always going to be a moving Overton window of where we would have to protest in a Trump 2 era. I just never anticipated that the window would move to historic LGBTQ clinics like Whitman Walker.

This is a huge ruling. It signals that court will not be a rubber stamp.

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

I will post only once more about this tonight. Whitman-Walker is how I am Erin. I hold this name because of the resources they provided the trans community. I hope what I have written tonight gives them pause, and all orgs who would do this. Because the wave has hit home and I can’t stand quiet.

1. Yesterday, Maine Governor Janet Mills confronted Trump to his own face at a Governor's Dinner over his anti-trans EO. When he threatened her for allowing trans people in sports, she responded: "See you in court." The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban. Nobody cared. Nobody ever does. The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police. This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.

Another win! This morning, we killed a bill that would have taken $50M of the Montana budget and spent it on cyrptocurrency, NFTs, and precious metals.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.
