Cis people accidentally doing a gender affirming self care by shopping in the clothing section that aligns with their gender.

Decided to check out how "dominant" that trans fencer was, and... she came in 24th place (out of 39) in this tournament. It's almost like this isn't about "fairness" at all.
We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again
COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal:
“Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine."

I'm not condoning use of the word 'pussy' as an insult, but the point still stands. Every moment where Elon tries to portray himself as a badass, he provides irrefutable evidence that he's a fucking coward. Even a chihuahua might bite someone's ankles, but Elon will just piss on the floor.
Hey guys, be aware that TERFs may be trying to spread around misinformation and bad faith interpretations of the Trans Literature Preservation Project.
If you want the accurate story, please refer to the article directly.

Sadly I don't know who to credit for this.
What in the actual fuck?? I have zero investment in her or her career, but ugh.
I'm never going to forgive the people and politicians who sat silently while Trump sicced the entire federal government against trans people.
This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.
@jasmineforus.bsky.social and @aoc.bsky.social I love you both, no notes. Please feel free to pass my post along to your colleagues, with my info redacted. You can redact some of the swears if you think that would help them take it more seriously. Thank you!
Dear democratic party as a whole,
Quit fucking around trying to abide by traditions and rules to prove your maturity or whatever to a party that cannot be shamed by your example and FUCKING ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING THAT'S NOT JUST SOME STUPID FUCKING PLATITUDE/"THIS TOO SHALL PASS" TYPE SHIT!
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.
An executive order does not have the power to override the Constitution.
@erininthemorning.com thank you for the work you do.
A man carries a coffin with a skull on the front and spray painted on the side "we're here we're queer we hate the fucking president"

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
I think all the time about the interviewer who asked Meryl Streep “how did you not know about Weinstein” and she was like “I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know”
it isn’t a character flaw to have been deceived by someone who is a deceit expert cultivating the cover of your faith & goodwill
I was watching The Twilight Zone earlier today, and I want to scream and weep over how the episode "He's Alive" is still painfully relevant.
This kind of reporting has been so badly needed for so long. The NYT has been both hostile and opaque on trans issues.
Occasionally, we bring you good news.

I have to emphasise that the people doing conversion therapy in 1962 on gay people were also doing it already on trans people. Read "Curing Queers: Mental Nurses and Their Patients, 1935–74" for some info on the specifics of the British system but this was everywhere.
@universalhub.com Great news for Boston/Cambridge area book lovers! The new space is wonderful!
post on threads from @warkedchocobo: I'm so sorry to bring her up... but this has been bothering me for months... and I have to post about it so I can be done with it. JKR said that Radcliffe, Watson, Grint all owed her for making them and how betrayed she felt. And it bothered me to my core how ungrateful and narcissistic that was. When they were children they gave up their entire childhoods and into their 20s to bring her characters to life so brilliantly that the films became iconic. These kids sacrificed so much and
post on threads from @warkedchocobo: Suffered to bring her vision to life year after year. They couldn't even change their hair and were subject to insane online bullying, judgment and pressure (they were some the first to face the Internet age as children actors and it was messy).... and they trusted HER to be a good person who stood by equality, love, and openmindedness. They trusted her, and she betrayed them and then had the audacity to say they betrayed her for standing up to her hate. It made me absolutely furious then,
post on threads from @warkedchocobo: And it still makes me furious now. If anyone betrayed anyone, it was her. And if anyone should be grateful for making her stories a success for so long, it was those actors who we grew up alongside who brought them to life. And I just feel so deeply for them... how they must feel to sacrifice their childhoods just to be betrayed by a trusted adult in. And I know so many of us can relate to that pain. I just wanted to express my feelings about this. Feels good to finally get that off my chest.
all this. JK can embrace her brain rot but leave Daniel, Rupert, and Emma the hell out of it.
Chase Strangio said we need to intervene in any and all narratives that work to blame or isolate transgender people. 👀 Step up, push back, be loud. Trans people need to know they aren’t alone and that their allies are legion.
Dems! Be more moderate! Ok
Racial justice is moderate—racism is extreme
Living wage is moderate—a poverty wage is extreme
Healthcare is moderate—denying it is extreme
Climate justice is moderate—denying science is extreme
Reject GOP Framing. Demand human dignity. That is moral, just, & moderate
