The day before they ruled that banning trans children's healthcare isn't discrimination Wake up. They are trying to wipe trans people out. Stop calling people hyperbolic and fucking look at it

The NYT and Azeen Ghorayshi were cited several times by Clarence Thomas in his overtly transphobic concurrence saying that explicit discrimination against trans people is a good thing and would be entirely constitutional.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

The bill wouldn't just cause millions to lose their health insurance, it would also: ban Medicaid coverage of non-abortion care at Planned Parenthood ban Medicaid coverage of ANY gender-affirming care (yes, adults) *block marketplace insurance plans from covering abortion or gender-affirming care

A call to civil rights orgs doing trans rights work: please prioritize hiring trans & non-binary staff. Be willing to mentor, train, guide. We want to do this work, & are often passed over for cis applicants. If we don’t have all of the qualifications- think about systemic inequaly’s role in that.

Politics gets dirty and I don't mind a Dem playing coy with their position as a negotiating tactic to extract more—that's how the sausage is made—but what happened here with those 10 Dems achieved nothing because it had just one objective: to deceive Democratic voters. That cannot be tolerated.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

Person who told you they would stand with you when it’s time to stand with you: Oh I meant that in the way where it made me feel good about myself to say it and not in the way where I actually had to do it

When people on here share that they aren’t concerned about the fate of over 1 million people because that’s a relatively small number of people I’m like oh um actually you’re supposed to care about minorities

I think Trump-as-Putin-asset is not unfounded but clearly functions for many as a story to tell themselves that preserves American innocence. Trump does not need to be controlled by Putin to still benefit Putin because both are authoritarian illiberal nationalists

@hrc.org is selling stonewall merch after having cut their trans justice initiative and after having laid off 47 staff members (predominantly trans, non-binary, and BIPOC) further proof that love to commodify and profit off of trans people, but fail to uplift us or support us meaningfully. Shameful.

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal. It does NOT only affect transgender athletes. The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Elected officials cannot keep claiming to care about trans communities while doing the bare mimimim. Tweeting that trans people exist won’t save us from having our rights stripped away. Hire trans people to work on policy impacting trans people. It’s SIMPLE.

This is absolutely despicable and unconscionable. HRC was antiblack, antitrans & dangerous when I was young & this is back to their old playbook. You cannot win by pushing out the most marginalized. And you cannot earn back this lost trust. EVARRRRR. #HRC #HRClayoffs www.gofundme.com/f/support-lg...

On the same day the national park service busy erasing trans people from history, HRC axed is entire trans justice initiative and laid off a bunch of amazing black and brown trans folks. Absolutely despicable, HRC showing us who they've always been. Help out here. www.gofundme.com/f/support-lg...

Every headline that does not say “illegal” or “unconstitutional” is a failure to convey to the public the stakes of what is going on.

Serious answer: outright refusal or malicious compliance. Comply the way Ludmilla Page and her comrades complied while being forced to work in German munitions factories. Maybe that flash drive gets accidentally broken. Maybe the computer crashes or someone trips over the power cord.

I'm never going to forgive the people and politicians who sat silently while Trump sicced the entire federal government against trans people.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them
