And, of course, instead of the original post being deleted, the fucker removes the quote so that the misinformation can continue to spread without pushback.

Something I spoke about before was how transphobia is often an expression of misogyny, it gives people who hate women an outlet and sets trans women up as a class of women it's socially okay to be misogynistic towards, while also providing an ideological justification for that misogyny.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

This is why I hate the “it has to be subtle!!!” Critique of queer media. The fact that we can’t just say what we are or what the character is is so reductive and constraining to so many queer writers. Don’t let cis people dictate how you show you identity. They don’t know what they’re saying.

JenWave1995@jenwave1995.bsky.social

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

lol the endorsements page is 404'd now, I wonder how many endorsements he lost in the last 24 hours.

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 was VERY FUCKING TRUE of what the atmosphere was in 1992. Basically, because it was "the right people" who were getting sick, nobody in the mainstream gave two shits. Better to let them die for their "sin". Don't come at me about how "pro-gay" Clinton was, either.

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

Funny how an American Muslim candidate is often questioned about extremism, linked to radicalism, and called names by Trump and his ilk. I wonder why they don't ask Jewish American candidates about Israel, the genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, or what lies children in Israel are taught about Muslims?

Today I wrote about Abdul El Sayed's encounter with a Christian fascist named "Tommy," and the fine art of digging up the shameful things fascists bury under their accusations, exposing them for what they are, and then burying their lies in the hole left behind. www.the-reframe.com/taking-our-c...

These democrats are literally saying they will vote with the Republicans in favor of banning Trans people's access to healthcare and public sanitation, you dumbfuck!

smelliernick.bsky.social@smelliernick.bsky.social

So every single Senate Democrat running in a red state? It seems like you are advocating for zero concession to politically moderate messaging that’s necessary to win and prevent the GOP from banning trans people from existing. What about other issues, like reproductive rights, healthcare, racism?

jupiterzguy.bsky.social reposted

trans people are already compromising in this election by simply asking that our existing rights not be on the chopping block what dems are doing now is deciding whether they actually need to negotiate with us at all so telling us to vote to keep a spot in the tent is pretty fucking condescending

Here is the Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs, spreading the antisemitic conspiracy theory that the Soros family are the puppet masters behind the election in Brazil yesterday. The Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs seems to see it as his job to make the Diaspora less safe.

The thing about getting people to vote for you is you have to actually offer them something "Im gonna segregate your community you slur, but vote for me cause maybe I wont harm other people as much as the other guy" is about as compelling as suggesting rat poison as a snack.

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

this is a perfectly reasonable list, imo these four are all monumentally awful on trans issues and this is a more than fair place to draw the line, especially given how the elections currently look - three of them are in the house, where dems will romp regardless, and iowa can do better than turek

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

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.

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

It's amazing how many of these folk forget that the Democrats demanded gays and lesbians accept "civil unions" as a compromise, "do you really need to call it 'marriage' if it's has all of the same rights?" and the LGBTQ+ community, all of us, refused to accept that.

Replying to @katelynburns.com

Josh Turek made the calculation that he doesn't need the votes of trans people or our friends and allies, so I say we see if his calculation is right. But no one in their right mind would ever vote for a candidate that would take away their daily medication. You shouldn't expect it of trans people.

i will never not be militant about trans rights cis people: demand nothing less than full, unequivocal rights for trans people and do not accept from anyone the idea that it is naive to demand it we deserve what you have

Trans people are fighting to keep rights they had ten years ago—in 2016. It is not the same as fighting for rights in the first instance. So please I beg of you, knock it off with this “purity test” horseshit.

Mike@doa70.bsky.social

You know, the purity tests when trying to change society only make things worse. Im old enough to remember the fight for gay rights starting in the 80’s. We didnt change hearts and minds by demanding 100% adherence to everything. It came by increments. All you are doing is helping the magats.

jupiterzguy.bsky.social reposted

and the open bigotry reveals itself. this is the disdain and contempt at the heart of all democrats haranguing trans folks to vote for anti-trans democrats - they simply don’t believe our rights matter, and are infuriated we’d risk something they do care about to fight for those rights.

EXACTLY. The officer references "the league" and the "league office." Someone who works for the league this kid's team plays in called them.

jupiterzguy.bsky.social reposted

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

These anti-trans Dems are saying "biological males" should be banned from girls sports because they know exactly how bad it sounds if they say "transgender girls" should be banned from girls sports. They're using "biological males" framing as a sort of self-justification and self-soothing.

correct. you aren't supposed to hold your nose and Respectfully "vote blue no matter who" you're supposed to make your political candidates terrified and desperate that they may lose your vote Even If you're going to secretly vote for them anyway. psychological warfare. etc

Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.

Wintersong@wintersong.bsky.social

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.
