Okay. I'm going to talk about transmascs. When we eventually look back on the decade of feminist mismanagement since the 'transgender tipping point', we will judge its single greatest crime the utter refusal to reckon with transmasc oppression a) seriously, and b) as a distinct form of violence.

I am so over the "Western binary". I am so over how people consistently, ignorantly, and frankly embarrassingly insist that the "gender binary" is so particularly Western and colonial and recent. It's a complete failure to juxtapose rhetoric on gender with how it actually, materially operates.

This was a hate crime in a series of hate crimes Jonathan and his husband Tristan dealt with. Neighbors said he was behaving "erratically" but who wouldn't react with such extreme emotion in this situation? He was murdered on the first day of Pride. Indigenous people are not numbers. Say his name.

The FBI is now going after trans people and their healthcare. Today it's gender affirming care, tomorrow abortion. This is the authoritarian playbook on display.

A trans woman was just sentenced to 15 years in prison for defending herself from an attacker. She wanted no part in the fight and witnesses described her actions as self-defense. With right-wing media constantly portraying her as "evil" since the incident, the trial was over before it began.

This regime kills people queuing for aid, after forcing them to choke points by starvation. We must end the two way arms trade and introduce sanctions. Free Palestine.

a lot of people treat trans women's inability to get pregnant as read through a kind of cis male privilege and not "the failure of this strata of women-things to bear children for the family is a central part of what marks them for extremely high levels of sexual exploitation and murder"

Reading this interview with Maksim Borisov, a gay Russian dissident who sought asylum in the US last year only for ICE to arrest and detain him in February. He's currently held in Eloy Detention Center in Arizona where he says "trans people… just disappear."

Deeply saddened. With Watt & Albanese's 'executive' decision to ignore 50000 years of cultural heritage at Murujuga, & O'Neill's 'smugness', they ALSO potentially 'approved' a minefield of racist-based vandalism against aboriginal sites everywhere. Let that sink in. www.abc.net.au/news/105359106

Saw an uncredited post on fb that got eaten by a refresh saying that JK shouldn't be categorized as simply a problematic artist. That she's more like Musk: a radicalized person with extreme wealth using said wealth to influence the government to target and harm a marginalized group. Helpful framing.

I would humbly submit that rebadging writing as ‘content’ was the first step in demolishing the value of human creativity on the internet. AI is flowing down the putrid path already carved by that destruction.

Ended up against my will discussing trans rights again recently. I pointed out that there was broad cross partisan support for trans inclusion only a decade ago, that Donald Trump and the leader of the UK conservative party were simultaneously endorsing trans inclusion measures but this closed...

I wrote about this in my newsletter but the idea that Bluesky has a uniquely hostile culture does not ring true to me. Twitter’s culture, especially at its peak, was so hostile that it lit people’s entire lives on fire if they tweeted something nice about their day that upset the wrong person

i never really felt the "bluesky is an echo chamber with no tension/disagreement" thing bc i do get friction on my more unorthodox or leftist positions and people being like "fewer nazis here is bubble-y" when bsky's issue is e.g. deprioritizing palestinian fundraising says more about the speaker

the bit about Africans being active in the slave trade is telling. it’s something that is only relevant if you think the point of discussing slavery is to disburse racial blame rather than understanding history.

THREAD. A lot of attention is rightly going to Medicaid cuts and other very bad things in Trump's bill passed by the House, but there's something else that isn't getting enough attention, that is very difficult to find in any news coverage, but that will fundamentally alter life for all of us.

Fact of the matter is "hey, I have uncertain feelings about my gender identity I want to discuss with a therapist who can help me make sense of them" and "I would like to change my sex characteristics" are two separate healthcare issues that can and should be provided independent of each other
