One of the on the media appearances…can’t remember if it was the one specifically about cancel culture with Brooke Gladstone or one of the summer 2021 ones guest hosted by brandy zadrozny …either way, thank you “on the media” I guess :)

Shit is feeling pretty rough right now for trans folks…might be good to have on some journalists or scholars who are on the trans beat like @evanurquhart.bsky.social @imarajones.bsky.social @katelynburns.com @esqueer.net or @juliaserano.bsky.social

Yes! I really liked this portion of the discussion, so much so that I exclaimed out loud while walking my dog “exactly!” lol Cause yeah wrt the rights of trans people, immigrants, and those who continue to speak out against genocide in Gaza things still feel pretty bleak

I swear on days like today I find myself perversely yearning for the halcyon days of 2021 when you would only read 1 negative story about us (trans ppl) lol Cause Today i came across 4 (Gallego’s BS, the horrific Texas bill, the HHS threat to ignore WPATH, and now this politico piece).

Seriously! They should just give it all to you, @mattxiv.bsky.social & @michaelhobbes.bsky.social with the aim of making the world more gay. That would be a waaaaay better use of the time & $$$

It’s amazing (and kinda sad) how relevant the “Gender trash from hell” zine still is 30 years later!!

Exactly! Also Sam Seder, the humanist report, lance of the serfs, Matt binder, emma Vigeland, Olayemi Olurin, Robert Evans + the entire behind the bastards cinematic universe. Soooo many good solid progressives in the content space

Sorry about you feel bad about failing your “purity test.” But you know what feels worse? Failing the “you’re not vermin that need to be exterminated” test, which is what is happening to undocumented ppl and trans ppl (among others) in a current fascist America.

The fact that they are planning on spending 40-50 million dollars on this propaganda while also claiming that they have to cut cancer research or gender-affirming care to trans veterans for fiscal reasons shows just how rotten this whole regime is

Oh cool thanks! I’ve been out as a trans person since 2004 but pretty much oblivious to the fashion world (given that 90% of the time my wardrobe = tshirt + leggings lol) so I have been wondering where this came from for a while now

There’s a whole trans/gender-affirming care section of the book. + it concludes with Jordan Kermit-the-frog Peterson writing the final chapter. So yeah it’s gonna be suuuper gunning for trans folks *sigh*
comment in response to post
Omg! And of course it has Doctor Professor Jordan Beelzebub Peterson writing the final chapter …you know, to put things into mythological perspective lol

A board game box & its individual pieces are displayed on a purple table with a space background In the top right of the image are the words: “Farmoony - Grow survive & thrive in space!” Underneath those words are the typical board game descriptions: 20-50mins, 2-6 players, +9years

Seriously! It feels like this might be the one place on the internet where “don’t read the comments” doesn’t apply lol

It’s what a lot of Canadians are thinking too. A few weeks back there was an episode on CBC’s front burner pod talking about what an invasion would look like in concrete terms (ie: 🇨🇦’s military response, insurgency/guerilla warfare tactics, which countries would come to our aid).

I know it’s heartbreaking. I have lots of trans friends in the US and I’m worried for every single one of them 💔
