I spent years struggling with my gender, knowing that I wasn't a man, that something about my body wasn't right. Once I finally had that egg cracking moment, after getting over the initial shock, I knew there was only one path forward for me. Since then, I've really been loving life 💖

Why did you transition? Right answers only

I’ve lived in Somerville for just a few months, but I have been absolutely loving life here. HONK this past weekend was fantastic from start to finish and beyond! I ran into friends, marched with comrades, listened to inspiring music, and felt the power of community in such a viceral way 💖

You know, sometimes old ideas do have merit. Fight for a future where people are taken care of and take care of others in return, where the mechanisms of the economy and state are controlled truly democratically by the people, and where the plenty that already exists is shared among us all.

just wanna re-up the part where I wrote that many immigrants in Maine have been sheltering in place since January for their own safety, with ICE still operating in the area. it is October.

Lex McMenamin (they/them)@lexmcmenamin.com

whether or not it stayed in the headlines, ICE's on-the-ground presence “shocked the whole system” (in one advocate's words), changing life for Maine communities. many immigrants have been effectively sheltering in place since Jan, relying on grocery drop-offs and volunteers to take kids to school.

Believe me when I say that the best time to start transitioning was yesterday, but the second best time is today. There will never be a "perfect" time to start, and now is an especially scary moment to have come into yourself like you have. But this is so worth it, and I regret every day I waited 💖

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Another OCPF filing, and the same pattern: More than 95% of the money raised by the Yes on 3 campaign in the first half of September came from just six corporate executives in private equity, venture capital, and investment banking. Don't let them buy our elections.

I was recently talking to someone about the size of the universe, about how small and utterly insignificant we are, particles on motes of dust floating in a void. They found this topic disturbing, which is odd to me. I find a comfort in it, to me it means that what we do is all the more important.

If there is no inherent meaning to anything, and to me it certainly seems like there isn't, then any meaning we make is our own, every choice that much more consequential, every good deed that much more impactful. In such a world, doesn't it just make more sense to be kind to one another?

100's of fascists storm Dover *explicitly* to block roads with the threat of violence in a racist "protest": No arrests. Just Stop Oil members plan to disrupt a highway in a zoom call: 4-5 year sentences. The pigs don't go after fascists for the same reason Peter Parker never fights Spider-Man.

my latest: Massachusetts is one of the safest states for trans people—but multiple hospitals preemptively ended youth trans care over Trump admin threats to cut fed funding. on Wed, trans activists took their HRT at a govt office and refused to leave without a commitment to fight those hospitals.

theguardian.comEven in safe-haven Massachusetts, trans care is at risk. Young people are fighting to protect itActivists are calling on the state attorney general to take action against hospitals that have ended gender-affirming care programs after Trump retook office

Tired of living in the digital panopticon? Get familiar not just with Flock, but all the other vendors of ALPRs! Show up to your local city council, select board, town meeting sessions and demand that they cancel existing contracts AND pass binding resolutions restricting them from future roll outs.

AG Campbell has a duty to uphold the laws of Massachusetts. Her office has neglected to do that while cowardly institutions like Fenway and Baystate Health flagrantly break MA laws by continuing to deny care to trans youth. These young people are braver than anyone in that office. Solidarity ✊🏻

Last night, a group of brave trans activists, healthcare providers, and community members were arrested at the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office after self-administering hormone replacement therapy and beginning a sit-in to demand action to restore gender-affirming care for trans youth. (🧵)

The people of Cambridge are among the most progressive in the state, and the Mass Democratic party platform articulates bold progressive policies. Yet the action taken by our state government lags behind our values. Join us by Sept 1st to help change that.

The T is broken because the Legislature is broken. We deserve reliable, safe and affordable public transit, but the Massachusetts Legislature has neglected the MBTA for decades. I am running to invest in building a state that works for all of us.

Massachusetts is the only blue state in the country with a voluntary collaboration agreement with ICE. Ordinary people are showing up to resist this assault on our communities, but our legislature has failed to meet the moment. There are real costs to waiting.

yesterday on my bike ride home in Roxbury I almost got hit by a car three times, despite "following the rules of the road". I slowed down at a crosswalk on Prentiss St with flashing lights which I had right of way at, while a car just straight up sped through the crosswalk.

My former landlord is refusing to give back my security deposit because one of my old roommates caused some damage to the walls that in no way will cost the full security deposit to repair, how's everyone else's day going?
