The wild thing is the same people who say kids can’t even be exposed to the word transgender in schools and banning books for the mere mention of a trans character are spending millions blasting out knowledge that trans people exist to kids across the country.

Conservative parents are now lamenting that the anti-trans ad blitz is teaching their children that transgender people exist. "We're practically talking the very things we don't want into existence." Read the reddit post and our story on it here. Subscribe to support our journalism.

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com

There is an extra layer of grief that comes with worrying that your children might lose you. Thinking of them navigating life and not being here to help them is excruciating. I want to be here for everything. Please help me afford the tests and treatments that make it possible. ❤️ #Cancer #Stage4

Fighting #cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's been an 18 year battle - now stage 4. I need to raise $ for my full body PET scan & the $4,900 Signatera tests (4x a year) insurance doesn't cover. 🔗 www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mom... Please SHARE and help if you're able. I'm grateful. ❤️

you cannot support JKR in *any* way and also support trans people our right to exist has to be more important than your nostalgic fandom it HAS TO

The normalisation of transphobia is complete in the UK. Most cis people don't even see it in plain sight.

Replying to @renalder.bsky.social

I have tried explaining what it's like to experience gender the way I do to cis ppl. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. But at the end of the day, ppl don't need to understand. They just need to respect.

"She was subjected to a bewildering array of abuse, including multiple rapes by 3 separate men and beatings by numerous relatives. “'If they execute Christa Pike, it will confirm that the death penalty is reserved not for the worst of the worst, but for the most damaged and vulnerable among us.'”

theguardian.comTennessee says child rapists deserve to die. Now it prepares to execute one of their victimsAt 18, Christa Pike was sentenced to death for murder. What if the jury knew she had suffered years of sexual abuse as a child?

So many of the same “intellectuals” who are obsessed with undermining the existence of trans people are also obsessed with undermining the Cornell rape victim’s testimony. It’s almost like they don’t believe people have a right to bodily autonomy

Cassie ♀🦋 reposted

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Cassie ♀🦋 reposted

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

YESSS

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

I’m genuinely worried that he weakened her civil case with this statement out of petty fury that he’s rightfully getting heat for not pressing charges against rapists. He clearly isn’t interested in seeing her succeed and he basically called her a liar—a huge gift to the civil defense

Jessica Valenti@jessicavalenti.bsky.social

Please don't give the DA reopening the Cornell case any cookies. District Attorney Matthew Van Houten all but called Jane Doe a liar today. He said that in Doe's initial statement, she described "her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual.” CONSENSUAL

you gotta love “allies” who tell you that they are fighting for you while actively telling you to stop having opinions they don’t like, calling you names, demanding you stop using the “hostile” platform that they are using to be hostile towards you. ❤️

Skex@shawnburks.bsky.social

Yes I the one defending Hasan Piker is a right-wing troll. Doesn't matter what you think of me, I will continue to advocate for you and people like you to live however you want.

I can’t stop laughing at the “defending Hasan Piker.” I said one million times that I agree with Hasan, that Hasan is my favorite streamer, that I have given Hasan my dollars, my time, my admiration. I only said that I disagree with Hasan on one issue, a messaging decision of a minor point…wtf 😂

There’s something to be said for how most of the political spectrum can unite around hounding some lesbians over niche drama in their spaces but huge segments of society are silent about pervasive campus rape impacting a huge population of primarily youngwomen

The worst part about twitter is there are a number of people who think they have to be active there who are left-leaning but have had their brains absolutely cooked by the site. You can't inundate yourself in exposure to that stuff without it having an impact on you.

Talrico is trying to debate mog a literal demon from hell meanwhile can’t find his spine on trans issues. Trans Texans deserve better than to be played as a political pawn in his game to win a seat in Congress.

dharmalee3❌👑@dharmalee3.bsky.social

James Talarico called Ken Paxton’s cell to invite him to a Fox News debate with Bret Baier. Paxton didn’t pick up. Talarico has accepted four local-TV debates; Paxton has committed to none. Texans deserve more than a Senate candidate who ghosts the debate stage.

and it won’t work either. demonizing trans people is not a winning issue that churns out votes for the Republican Party despite what they think.

The Sgt Joker@thesgtjoker.bsky.social

There are more rapists walking free at Cornell than there are transgender college students competing in sports. Guess which ones American oligarchs want you to focus on so their Republican buddies get reelected?

we will be the comic relief section of future history textbooks.

Hasan Piker insists on saying “be normal,” despite it creating a distraction within his own community. Many people on the left hate that phrase. Normies won’t care if he drops it. I don’t care either way, but I don’t understand why he can’t just be normal, and make his messaging more appealing.
