dear cis people. please learn the phrase "assigned sex" biological sex is not an immutable trait, it is something that is assigned at birth, and more arbitrary than you realize. You can change your sex, many people do

Since DOGE doesn’t officially exist and Elon Musk has no official position, I really don’t understand why any department is going along with any of their illegal firings in the United Stares Government. You can’t just say “Trump wants it.” Actual authority needs to be exercised in official ways.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

"You pay every time you board a bus, and that makes you think about whether you want to ride it. If you paid every time you used a parking space, you'd also think about whether you want to drive. Free parking doesn’t mean free markets; it often means freeloading." —the late Donald Shoup

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

“The State Department is blocking new passports for trans Americans” The EU needs to update its laws and open asylum pathways for trans people. Denying someone identification is state sponsored erasure and it needs to be recognised as persecution.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

are cis people aware there are multiple instances of the state confiscating trans people’s passports in the process of updating them, along with other documentation required for updating passports? a de facto travel ban has already begun for us.

Surreal being a trans person on this website this week. Every single one of my trans friends is making emergency preparations in case Trump bans our health care while fighting off existential dread and depression, and 99% of the cis people i follow seemingly have nothing to say about the trans EOs.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.
