hi, folks!
is calling federal electeds to ask them not to pass shitty legislation not doing it for you? i get it.
how about helping to bring about positive change that would materially help thousands of trans people? and that's actually possible?
do you know about washington state's HB 1971?🧵
At this point all of the Signal issues have been related to user error/general incompetence, so the issue isn't Signal at this point. It's still the most secure messaging option we have!

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

If you see this, quote it with what you’re reading this weekend:
Stag Dance by @torreypeters.bsky.social
Someone in the crowd started an anti-trans rant at the Markey town hall and was immediately swarmed by a bunch of older lib women who shouted her down and chased her out, like a bunch of crows chasing away a predator.
pixel art design against a dark background: semi-gothic style pixel font that reads “protect trans kids” with “protect” at the top of the graphic and “trans kids” beneath. In between the words is a knife oriented horizontally, pointing to the right, with grip and lower portion of the blade textured in dithered pixels. Grip has curved grooves on the bottom edge for fingers to fit in. The entire design is colored in five horizontal bands of pink, blue and white in the center, like the trans flag

A commissioned pixel banner/desktop/phone set. Design is based on the original by Rio Wolf -
Four box TVs with words and static on their screens. The text all together reads, "do not count on corporate media to tell you the truth about trans life."
My own mother said this to me in relation to me being upset about Trump's anti trams executive orders.
Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.
If you're screaming at a hospital about teen trans care, keep screaming.
As a proud trans Masshole, I've always know that Charlie Baker was garbage. This just further proves the point.
this is exactly the thing i needed to read today. thank you!
lol this is basically me. there are little old lady trump supporter library patrons who have been neutral-to-great about my very public transition.

I think a lot of folks could benefit from taking a minute to read this from @tuck.bsky.social (and support Gender Reveal while you’re there).

The following is a reminder of our enemies' weakness. Nothing that follows means that they are not dangerous. It is, instead, a reality check. www.patreon.com/posts/remind...
Wrote this a while back. It's even more necessary now.
they are attacking us, a tiny minority, because we threaten every shitty bigoted part of the status quo they are desperate to defend. if we were powerless, they would ignore us.
This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
there's the Sarah McBride transsexuals and the Chelsea Manning transsexuals
