I was a finalist candidate at this university a decade ago. I figured out I was trans five years ago. Jesus do I feel like I dodged a bullet. Also, for anyone wondering how the professoring gig is going in general these days? This. This is how. www.chron.com/culture/arti...

this is an amazing breakthrough.

Except he doesn't care that it's here for trans people.

“The “refrigerator mother” myth was used as a justification for taking children away from their parents and subjecting the kids to ever-harsher treatments…now the Trump administration is poised to start a new cycle in which moms are once again blamed for their kids’ autism.” My latest.

Madison Carstens, a transgender woman from Seattle, was attacked by six men in a transphobic hate crime on Sept 2. She suffered a ruptured eardrum - that may have permanently damaged her hearing - and a severe concussion that will keep her out of work for weeks or months. Do your thing, fam. (1/2)

Republicans are trying to criminalize all lifesaving transgender healthcare nationwide. Again. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP THIS. Democrats in congress have the power to force the removal of these horrific riders, BUT THEY WILL ONLY LISTEN IF WE SHOUT.

When did Ari Drennen become the new Brianna Wu? Love, this is quisling logic. You are rubber-stamping her support of memorializing a monster and a stochastic terrorist. Do you have any fucking shame? He dead-named her and misgendered her, and she thanked him for it. My loved one and clients...

They want to label us terrorists for even describing what they're doing to us. It's the ultimate exercise in gaslighting and victim blaming. 19thnews.org/2025/09/proj...

Earlier this month, three trans women were beaten by a group of young men in Seattle's gay neighborhood. According to the county prosecutor's office, there's been at least four more group beatings since June 2024. In one case, strangers joined in. The kicker? www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09...

🤬

If SCOTUS does this, I can just imagine the uproar.

1. In a groundbreaking legal filing, transgender patients, represented by Women's Law Project, have filed a legal complaint against UPMC for capitulating to Trump and dropping trans care. Federal funding threats do not override state law. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The Guardian is always talking out of both sides of its institutionally-transphobic mouth lithub.com/the-guardian...

short 🧵 on what autism and transgender pseudoscience & disinformation have in common:

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people. His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority. Subscribe to support our journalism.

On the same day it was revealed Elon Musk covered up for his father's sexual abuse of children, he goes on to spread the lie that trans people are sexual predators.

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine. He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews. Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care. Great coverage from Henry carnell.

SEGM member Julia Mason is upset about families not taking clinical advice over autism treatment and instead asking for folinic acid prescriptions. She never thought her playbook of medical disinformation on trans youth would affect other patients she sees.

Just attended a FOIA-thon for government records related to trans issues with @transjournalists.org and @muckrock.com. They're trying to raise $1000 to support their work - I chipped in $25 and encourage everyone who cares about trans journalism to chip in too! givebutter.com/MPTg3M

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.

The U.S. has been extremely bought into eugenics (if we look at our psychiatric paradigm for example) for about a century now ... and what it's yielded is: For one, huge populations of people who need help and can't get it, don't even have basics like housing. And jails/prisons full of the same ...

Evil

They have also stripped trans characters of their identity after the show was produced. Fuck Disney

"whether transgender individuals are protected by the federal constitutions and state and federal laws.” Read it again all you "it's just sports" compromise assholes 🤬

This executive order.

Caligula signs imperial edict designating the ocean a 'enemy of the roman empire'

Well, I'm guess aside from mild selling, no one is buying the horseshit from the whitehouse

“The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies & dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science” ... since the NYT wrote about trans Healthcare

Well, if it goes like the quote a single trans person in your articles about trans people challenge, I can predict how it will go 😒

The ultimate end goal of genitally-obsessed bigots...

ICYMI: A recent @kenklippenstein.bsky.social article, referencing the FBl's intent to relabel Trans people as Nihilist Violent Extremists (NVE) attached this information collected by "Symbol Intelligence Group LLC" on "Tranarchists aka Trantifa" (Aug 2023)

As you can see, online postings, graphic designs, flags and symbols collected by Symbol Intelligence Group LLC, who contracts through law enforcement such as the FBI, have been collected, stored and distributed for law enforcement used and titled as “sensitive.”

1. A federal judge has blocked a Trump policy that says the National Endowment for the Arts will disfavor LGBTQ+ performances, ruling it violates their 1A rights. NEA funding is a significant for theatres. Their ban helped stop plays with trans themes. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It really bears saying that this is precisely what the policies in American are designed to achieve. Look at her, look at her face. This is supposed to be the outcome of public policy in the U.S. right now. Just sit with that.

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

OK, we got the Antifa "order," and it's weak. It cites no specific laws. I imagine, this was the drafting process: Boss: Quick, Trump said something, what can we do? Lawyer: Basically nothing, other than enforce laws? Boss: Hmm. Well, make it sound like something, OK? Lawyer: I'll ... try?

There's no legal authority to do this at all. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

im trans and ppl are always trying to ‘cure’ me. im autistic and ppl are always trying to ‘cure’ me. im adhd and ppl are always trying to ‘cure’ me. that rejection sinks in. fuck you.

Yes, folic acid for autism, but no HRT for trans people. We really are ruled by people who hate science, facts, and basic reality.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

As someone who works with quite a few autistic folks as a therapist, and who knows the brunt of this rapist's hatred (I'm trans), let me say that my heart goes out to my neurodivergent siblings, and we'll survive this hateful buffoon together. We all deserve to be here.

so Tylenol supposedly causes autism, but so does MMR, despite autism predating either of them – how could this be? negativity bias! this is why when ppl consider something to be "bad" they can invent hundreds of causes w/little evidence & ppl will believe it... juliaserano.medium.com/what-covid-l...

Oh, they're totally going to blame the mothers for the existence of autistic people. It's eugenics wrapped in misogyny.

It's not hard to speak this way about trans rights. Just lean hard into the patriotism element: trans people represent the American ideal of self-determination and freedom of expression through their courageous and dogged fight to be who they are

22 Sep 25 - Joining presumed Pres hopefuls Gavin Newsom & Kamala Harris in speaking on trans sports (both moved right), PA Gov Josh Shapiro moves hard left, denouncing PA sports bill as "the work of extremist politicians" trying to "legislate restrictions on freedom." @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Just a reminder that in addition to canceling Disney, you should also cancel Paramount. Hiring racist transphobe Bari Weiss as head of CBS News and actively denying that Israel is committing genocide are both really harmful.

Putting out my Vampire the Masquerade first episode out to gauge interest, if it doesn't perform that well I will focus on just the big video. Also, while recording more gameplay my computer screen went black, game might be cursed. It went black again when I recovered it. youtu.be/L5K2qtfeOwI

It's one thing to know about the Dunning-Kruger effect. It's something very different to understand that no matter how hard you work, no matter how much you research, no matter how hard you try, that not only will you never feel like you're really capable, but that it all only makes it worse.

Yeah, Humphrey's Executor is gone.
