Remember this next season when the Cubs have Pride Night.

To be fair, the proposers of this nonsense would be perfectly happy to replace Shakespeare with Birth of a Nation and the complete works of John Wayne.

21 Sep 25 -- M Gessen posts a haunting NYT column on people being silenced and the violence of censorship. (Ironically, they fail to mention how they are not free to write about how the NYT itself has laundered right-wing views on trans kids.) @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Section 28, which aimed to ban ‘the promotion of homosexuality’, was repealed in England and Wales on 18 September 2003. We marched in protest against it under banners proclaiming ‘Never Going Underground’. The lesson applies still.

Many of them do know a transgender person. They just don't know they know a transgender person. Even here, working with fairly progressive folks and living in the heart of Trandersonville, every couple of weeks I mention being trans and someone's surprised. And I neither pass nor am trying to pass.

something something political violence

Solidarity. It's a beautiful thing. ✊️🇺🇸🇲🇽🏳️‍🌈

Except that a not insignificant sector of the Democratic Party also wants right-wing things to happen but politely.

Spelling it out just so we are clear, the federal agents are announcing that they are willing to use deadly force against peaceful protest.

One of the classic counter-intuitive probability puzzles. See also: Monty Hall.

I will not support, campaign for, donate to, or vote for Newsom, Buttigieg, or any other candidate the Dems put forward who proposes throwing trans people under the bus. I will encourage all my friends, trans and cis, to do the same - in fact, I've already started.

In an unsurprising turn, it would seem the attitude of many white Americans seems to be that kidnapping POC and disappearing them and unjustly persecuting transgender people is fine, but they draw the line at their tv show being cancelled. www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

This is getting a lot of ad space on the Chicago Sun Times app this morning. I pledge NOT to promote civility for those who strive to support community by going after trans people, immigrants, people of color, or any other marginalized group. Go paradox-of-tolerance yourselves with a spiked bat.

i want yall to remember this “boycott disney” energy the next time your trans friends ask you to cancel you hbo “harry potter” max subscriptions

I'm willing to believe we're 21% of column inches and air time in right-wing media.

Can you guess before seeing what Shelley's replying to? What's as big as Angela Merkel's head?🤔

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

All we can do at this point is fight evil with love. Fighting with logic, law, or education has lost. Fighting evil with force or power starts with cool people fighting it with radical self love, mutual aid, and gay pride.

Exactly the same for me, minus the news coverage. I can't remember seeing anything in my youth. I had no words for my feelings. So I stuffed it all away, thinking everyone would feel like not really fitting in and just never talked about it. (And that all men secretly admired gorgeous dresses.)

I grew up in another world with less trans visibility - essentially no trans visibility, except for occasional SEX CHANGE SHOCK!!! stories in the Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail. I didn't have the language. And I thought being always background sad was just the human condition. Visibility matters.

Trans people sank the Titanic. In our downtime, between killing President McKinley and starting World War I.

It has come to my attention that many of you have been sharing this photo of Streeting and Mandelson widely. Please remember that Wes Streeting does not like it being shared widely. So please do not share it widely and on every possible occasion. We wouldn’t want to upset him would we?

Another one for your block list, folks. Stay safe.

Normalize telling cis people they're trans-passing.

The far right is very violent and very scary, but it doesn't rule my mind and you shouldn't let it rule yours.
