Our Latest: 📰US-based hate group behind rise of anti-trans science and standards worldwide📰

Fact-checking legacy media on transgender healthcare was remarkably easy to get into as a non-scientist with no credentials because all you have to do is ask "How does this work in non-politicized medicine, and is transgender healthcare different?" 999/1000 times, that's your fact check.

legacy media refuses to cover this case because of how unflattering it is to their transphobic biases. the assassination of charlie kirk was not a matter of politics so much as it is an unsurprising result of a simple love story in this climate of media-instigated hate.

The problem with being trans is that even allies know nothing about us. Because nobody wants to hear us talk, or read our literature, or let us report on ourselves. Our books are banned, our interviews shelved. Cis people write the entire narrative on us - allies and opponents.

remember the transgender tipping point? i was so,so hopeful

I came out in 2014 and was promised a far kinder world than this one.

I feel this deeply. But, on the other side of the leger, I think that the large cohort of trans people with 5-15 years of life as an openly trans person is one of our greatest strengths in this moment. We had a taste of something better and we're not giving it up easily.

This argument isn't going away anytime soon.

Its wild how the Pornhub year in review is arguably the best statistical insight into male sexuality that exists

Social V-coding.

Transmedicalism is when I wanted HRT in 2003 and the cis man doctor told me that I wasn't trans because I wore jeans, was able to have intercourse with a cis woman, and didn't respond to his flirting with me He insisted i needed therapy and refused to even put me on the path of maybe qualifying

Our review of this is live!

The Alberta government has made it clear that trans kids are not worth any constitutional protections.

This bill passed the house with the support of half of democrats. It is all but certain to pass into law. Call your senators and say no to the anti-trans rider.

Half of House Democrats just voted for a bill that legally defines trans women as men and trans men as women.

tumblr discourse is being weaponized by fascists and we need to be on the lookout

There is no opposition party in the US

Hey Northsky, be PRECISE on what you mean by "transmedicalism". Can transsexual women (on HRT) have words to delineate their own in-group and out-group? Will they be banned for saying "transsexuals face challenges and life experiences that non-transitioners (cissexuals) don't face"?

being trans in the 80s was a very, very underground thing. If you were found out, you were basically left for dead. And support groups had to be very, very discreet. medium.com/@allisawash/...

I am not saying it won't pass because congress does not like censorship. They clearly do. It might not pass because congress is divided on the degree of censorship that should occur. That infighting is what might save us.

“socialized male” “”socialized female” why don’t you try socializing outside

elizabeth warren rationalizing — and almost defending — her party being okay with the first trans sports ban in federal law. the democrats!

Hi @warren.senate.gov just to be crystal clear I never wanna see you at Boston Pride again prancing around in a feather boa. By cosponsoring #KOSA you are actively helping the Trump admin take away lifesaving resources from LGBTQ youth. We asked you to meet with our coalition. You ignored us.

Yes, it is paywalled! And every time y'all point this out, we will reiterate that writers and artists deserve to be paid for their work. We are an independent publication run and owned by workers. Also A LOT OF OUR CONTENT IS FREE. Plus, you can read single articles for $2. Including this one.

The relation between trans people and democrats is more like the prisoner's dilemma. Cooperation only makes sense when both sides are interested. If one side breaks faith, the other is better off doing so as well. Don't be the first to break, and we will be all good.

Update: this bill is now being promoted by the Senate Majority Leader.

We at The Needle are scared that the apathy on this story is the result of a "boy who cried wolf" problem, where its hard to explain that this really is the one you have to worry about.
