as a trans activist from Kansas, some of the most vehement pro-trans activists in the state are genuinely Christian pastors. the Dems in the State Legislature have way more pro-trans takes than this. he's saying this after my trans activist friends have spent like a week @'ing him. he can do better

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

The fact that we've agreed to call these gambling sites "prediction markets" furthers their bullshit. They predict nothing and it's a disgrace that news orgs have partnered with them and pretend they have news value. THEY'RE JUST A BUNCHA LOSERS GAMBLING.
How pathetic. This pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian official relied on the Thiel-backed prediction market (Polymarket) to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lulu (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) Because Polymarjet is “real” info. 🙄 1/ x.com/delegadorama...

For @ms.now I wrote about Josh Turek's proposal for trans health... ...only it was 10 months ago when the Trump administration proposed the same policy. They later backed off the proposal. www.ms.now/opinion/tran...

Another evil layer to this ad from Josh Turek: When he turns to say "stop the nonsense from both extremes," he opens with a clip of Rep. Becca Balint, the first openly gay woman to represent Vermont in congress and one of the few openly gay members of congress.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Pro-HRT funding ban Democrat Josh Turek is endorsed by a ton of big names, and even a local @indivisible.org chapter (Dubuque County). Pete Buttigieg is not surprising at all turek4iowa.com/endorsements/
This is where "it's just trans sports bans" leads you, Democrats supporting overtly genocidal policies that would kill tens of thousands of trans people. But at least we'll be marched into the camps by someone in blue, right?

in my experience, people who were exposed to severe Christian homophobia in the 2000s were protected against "Just Asking Questions" transphobia of the 2010s precisely because we realize that it never stops at "these are human beings" and always goes to cruelty
every now & then someone on the anti-trans side will get cold feet about how openly ugly it's all getting—they want to keep the image of a nice, sensible centrist but it's never enough for them to get off the train
Here's a longer list of people to yell at 🥰 dccc.org/dccc-chair-d... Also, lmao, ofc

In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01. Transphobia is spreading among dems. 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
me when i went to madison square gardens for the first time and learned that concerts where not being performed in the middle of a magical fantastical garden. i was VERY disappointed
In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

I do think this should put some of the hand-wringing over the uniquely sinful American electorate, uniquely feckless institutions, etc in perspective. The truth is that there is a large trans-national constituency of people who actively want this. They aren’t deceived. They want this.
On the one hand, it’s comforting to know that Americans aren’t uniquely stupid, voters everywhere have skulls filled with mush and worms. On the other hand, global fascism is probably not an ideal state of affairs.

A lot of constructive criticism of trans reporting that leans too much into fear has been coopted by certain liberals who have decided that encouraging trans people to pressure liberal politicians, hospitals, and so on is somehow fearmongering. Denial of reality is more dangerous than exaggeration.
i have no energy or desire to argue with kat or katelyn about this but i'll say that i'm confident that most of the parts on how government works and trans policy advocacy are wrong based on my 15yrs of trans policy advocacy. that's it. that's all. ya'll know where i'm at on everything in here.

What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…? recorder.com/2026/09/24/g...
Something tells me that the organizers of this covid cautious lesbian space—who, per the article, made great efforts to maintain it as a covid cautious lesbian space—wouldn’t appreciate this difficult moment being used to trash on covid cautious queer people in general.

As @segyges.bsky.social notes, here’s famed rationalist and AI doomer Eliezer Yudkowsky - who’s advising @sanders.senate.gov on AI and who is in a recent Netflix documentary - claiming that AI extinction risk is SO bad that it’s worth risking nuclear war. Which is *nuts*. time.com/6266923/ai-e...
