Wow this is going *great* for you, my man 👍

Fucking BLEAK

Bluesky is like American politics in that everyone involved is either deeply ineffective or actively hates minorities.

if an emergency room doctor finds out you're trans it's about a 50/50 shot they're going to blame your hormones for the problem without investigating the issue further.

A picture of that paper warehouse on fire with Smokey the bear standing in front saying "only livable wages can prevent warehouse fires"

Is it just me? I am so sick of signifiers being treated as objects and goals of political movements. Flags don’t matter, people do. Trans kids are still denied healthcare.

My step-dad died of pancreatic cancer. It was brutal and I’d do anything to prevent another family from having to go through it. Livid.

Walk into the fucking sea, scumbag

and teamwork.

man, I fucking love teamwork

All of you asking why rape victims didn't report until now are the reason rape victims didn't report until now.

State-level anti-transgender laws increase past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people in the USA - Nature Human Behaviour From 2018 to 2022, 48 anti-transgender laws were enacted in the USA across 19 states. This study shows that these anti-transgender laws increased past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-b...

Transphobia has no middle position. Restrictions on access to life-saving healthcare for trans kids and adults results in an increase in suicide attempts. Are dead children the centrist way?

I'm telling you, the solution to many problems in education is to hire school librarians (at a liveable wage, with administrative support, and adequate resources). Your students don't need an LLM, they need a librarian.

Also, it hasn't been easy and they're nowhere close to defeated. And we created the kind of animosity that lasts for generations if not centuries.

Congratulations! 🎉

The biannual question: did they time [x] piece of anti-trans news for TDOV/TDOR because they’re cunts, or are there just so many anti-trans actions happening all the time that some fall inevitably and coincidentally on our visibility and memorial days?

Nobody posted about “throwing” anyone anywhere, you fucking melt

Lying sacks of lukewarm shit

It feels insane watching these laws pass and them only being shared and talked about by trans people.
Like cis people please step the fuck up bc if they aren’t rounding us up yet they probably will soon

Surely our gov has better things to do than tracking public bathroom use ACROSS STATE LINES

Seeing "trans kids given deadline to segregate themselves" and "trans women banned from yet another part of society" headlines *every single day* while everyone you know and every organization stays breathtakingly silent takes such a damn toll on your heart.
