ok so what gets called "gender ideology" is jsut like "be who and how you want" and what gets called "not ideology" is like "follow these specific unwritten rules and perform these forbidden rituals according to the circumstances of your birth"

Trans liberation and disability justice are one fight.

Being a trans ally means action. Vote. Volunteer. Protest. Speak up. But also: Amplify trans voices. Pay trans people. Donate to trans orgs. Create jobs and safe spaces for trans people. Stop thinking words are enough.

I don't think people really get how these employee purges are just going to break the culture of public organizations for a very long time.

It was such a pleasure to contribute to this anthology with Jo Michael Rezes and Isabel Barbosa! Pre-order below and read about our work on food as medicine, HIV/AIDS patient care and community, and the magic that is Diseased Pariah News.

Dark days ahead...

i gotta say, my little hearts go kapow kapow whenever i learn of a later-life transitioner. 😻🎉✨💓 welcome everybody, oh, welcome! especially if you’re even older than i was. there’s no such thing as too old.

Eugenics is bad, actually.

It’s so disheartening to see so many well-meaning organizations go “well, we have to sacrifice this vulnerable population in order to protect the rest of our vulnerable population” as if those people won’t be targeted next.

Unexpected niche beat for @melissagiragrant.com: Covering the myriad protests happening right now despite claims on social media that 'no one is protesting.'

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

I cannot emphasize enough how we are in an era where everyone is to be treated like disabled people have always been treated.

This is fucking fire but also, amazingly, the judge is doing her damned best to establishing on the record that they don’t have a rational basis for their actions.

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

An upcoming SCOTUS case could make it harder for disabled kids and their families to sue schools for disability discrimination. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The cost-saving claims don’t hold up. Every dollar in NIH research grants generates $2.46 in economic activity, research shows—a total of $93 billion in 2023 alone. “It’s incredible to me that we would give up this thing that has such obvious societal benefits,” says biologist Mark Peifer.

I just added more things to this list today: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

"You will own nothing and you'll be happy." Actual words uttered by a (alleged) human being en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27l...

The totalised capture of the media by anti-trans gender ideologues, intent on denying us a voice and refusing to acknowledge our humanity or treat us with dignity, is an actual real-time epistemic atrocity. We are humans being treated like an abhorrent, aberrant spectacle unworthy of respect.

I have been in a heap of pain since I was a child. There is no "getting better." At the same time, some of my conditions are part of my DNA, part of who I am as a person. There is no me without my disabilities.

Trans Magical Girl Novels! Honestly, it's kinda cool that this is a big enough genre space now that I had to pick and choose which to use, also that all six of these are pretty strikingly different in tone and content!

There is a lot to unpack here and you should absolutely read it. US History is littered with shameful events most of us have no idea occured, and when they do people ban learning about it, mainly because they want to commit the same atrocities in the current time.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

With the queerest, cutest lil dates (both platonic and not), my word ✨️

Valentines Day can be a solid two weeks when you're polyam 😅 but also 🥰

The two times I've really gone over the edge while tripping, I've seen history laid out below me as a tide of flesh sucking and fucking and screaming and dying and eating itself as it ebbs and flows across time, and in a tangle of gay bodies in my bed today I could feel the enveloping power of that.

EXTREMELY anticipating this book because fuck private equity, cannot wait to dig in on this one. (Preorder now to surprise your future self with a fun package AND do Megan a solid!)

My "15 Black Transfemme Novelists" article walked so this article could run lmao. I did NOT realize how much I had to say. If any Black transfemme authors or readers want to give this a look before it goes live on Sunday, I would welcome it. I am rather white lol, sensitivity reads are important.

Editorial note: fascism is not insanity, and the language of mental illness should not be used to describe the hearts and minds of evil men.

Literally not a single thing that disabled activists told people to prepare for has turned out to be hyperbolic.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Hey guys, be aware that TERFs may be trying to spread around misinformation and bad faith interpretations of the Trans Literature Preservation Project. If you want the accurate story, please refer to the article directly.

Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI. I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

Every academic currently working in the US needs to read these replies. And I can't say that I blame them, honestly.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Oh hey so this is a thing now lol. Full details coming soon in an article, but the TFR Patreon is officially live 🥳

1. Today, the New York Times Editorial Board published a piece titled "Trump's Shameful Campaign Against Transgender Americans." I criticize the paper's attempt to wash away the paper's own culpability in ushering in an era of eradication-based policies. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"The paper may not have explicitly called for restrictions on trans passports or for a trans military ban, but few modern day institutions have done such an efficient job at laundering transphobia into modern society than the New York Times." @katelynburns.com

I know cruelty is the point but… man this one is just especially ghoulish. They say they’re doing this to “protect the kids” but it’s always been so painfully obvious what the truth is. The want trans kids to die, to disappear, to be erased.

Abolishing the Department of Education will further decimate rural schools... And, for what? The Dept of Ed does not write curriculum -- that is done at the local and state level. The funding from the department mostly supports economically disadvantaged school systems. The poorest schools...

mooooom come pick me up they’re obeying in advance again

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.
