right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?

I find it so interesting yet so sad that so many of my peers have turned to ChatGPT to do things like writing emails. And I find it equally fascinating that they push me to do it too, even after I have clearly stated my position on AI use. The chatbot doesn’t speak for me. I do.

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

would anyone be interested in either something written or podcast about the great transgender migration that's going on right now that no one is really talking about. i feel like no one outside of the trans community knows about this at all

The New York Times writes far more stories about the trans community than any other US print outlet, and is the least likely to quote a trans person when it does. Seems bad?

Important THREAD. SEGM is classified as an “Anti-LGBT pseudoscience network” by The Southern Poverty Law Center.

Inadvertently makes a case here for why we need to keep the humanities in school

Through her founding of the Disability Visibility Project, Alice Wong amplified the lived experiences and stories of people with disabilities. In the wake of her passing last year, her advocacy continues to shape national conversations around accessibility and the rights of disabled people.

as long as folks are enthusiastically donating to state level trans orgs today, figured I'd reup this list the @them.us team and I put together a few years back: www.them.us/story/orgs-f... (some info may be outdated, but use this as a jumping-off point!)

the democrats deliberately boosted the candidacy of donald trump and ran status-quo empty suits against him and those brilliant strategies got the US two trump terms. a few oddly still have the audacity to blame the left for their lack of enthusiasm in cheering on these obviously awful plans

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

Sorry for ally-posting to close to the sun, folks. My goal wasn’t to mansplain anything to anyone. I’ll read the room better next time.

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

Does this do anything? No. Does it feel good? Absolutely.

HELL YEAH #pokemon #TCGPocket

If this were true, they wouldn't be banning the medical care that does this.

Just really awesome how our financial elite just spent the last several decades admonishing people for pursing the humanities and creative fields, and are now suddenly pedaling the idea that "there are no good ideas anymore" after spending the last 5 years laying off everybody with a brain

Hey you! Stop playing Fortnite!

Gender — and restrictive gender roles — are core to authoritarian projects. Society uses concepts of gender to sort people. Data both reflects and imposes these social definitions. Some notes from a speech about this last week: buttondown.com/stetdele/arc...

Transition is a matter of free will and freedom. Trans people are going to do it anyway and you cannot stop them. We are full human beings with the right to decide our lives for ourselves and no one has a right to stand in the way of that.

feels like every political problem stems from ever considering right wing politics to be legitimate or worthy of existing in any way
