I think “defrigerator” is an acceptable alternative term for an oven.

It’s important to remember that after California, Florida has the second largest trans population in the United States. Tens of millions of vulnerable people live in “red states.” Most of them are not able to relocate. Don’t abandon them.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

This should be grounds for account suspension. Jesse has explicitly white knighted for kiwi farms. These are exactly the kinds of people he associates with. His presence on this site inherently makes it unsafe for trans people.

I need you to understand how grotesque it's been to watch the Smartest People tell the Democratic Party they were just too nice to incarcerated transgender people and in fact it's trans people's fault for asking them

The attack on trans rights is just the canary in the coal mine. Also don’t believe that they will stop with gay marriage. Plenty of Christian Nationalists want to go after interracial and interfaith marriages too.

Imagine you’re the richest person in the world with tens of billions to burn, and instead of giving your money to help kids with cancer or something else worthwhile, you decide to blow it on buying a toy company “because woke.” What a miserable excuse for a human being.

Serano is pushing an initiative to lobby Democrats not to balk on LGBTQ+ rights for those who write for various platforms for a shared story title on the day the Senate and House are back in session, December 3rd, 2024. I will likely take part.

heartwarming story for the holidays ❤️‍🔥 “…the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched... One of the officers noted the men were ‘covered in’ pepper spray.”

Here's why I confronted transphobic bigot Nancy Mace: Not to convince haters to stop hating, but to spark a conversation in the tech policy space. Will we cozy up to authoritarians? Or build meaningful resistance to tech-enabled human rights abuses? touchgrass.fightforthefuture.org/p/8322f531-b...

Holy moly. MAGA is losing their mind over an uncovered video from 2016 where Donald Trump says people should use the bathroom they feel is inappropriate and speaks out against trans bathroom bills. Feel free to share this so MAGA implodes.

This is genuinely great from Gessen if only because it takes something pretty basic about anti-trans politics (it's part of a broader reproductive regime akin to the eugenics of fascist cults) and explains it to an audience still convinced this has anything to do with fairness in women's sports

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

We need to start calling bathroom and sports bans what they really are: trans segregation.

Earlier this year a trans child died after being bullied in the school restroom. Being in the wrong restroom can be a dangerous situation for a trans person. I am disappointed that Democrats are treating this bathroom ban like a petty squabble that isn’t worthy of their attention.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

Before commenting on someone’s appearance (irl or online), ask yourself if it would take more than 5 seconds to fix the thing you are commenting on. Food stuck in teeth? Zipper down? Bug in their hair? Say something. If it’s about someone’s weight, face, voice, hairstyle, etc? Keep it to yourself.
