If you ever wondered who you would be when That Time Came, this is it. This is the person.

THIS THIS THIS

The student who ripped this sign down did more for trans people than most of our politicians.

i see allies mess this up so: "biological sex" to mean sex at birth is completely unscientific. you gotta stop using it. quit saying "biological females" to describe cis women, etc i am biologically female. calling me biologically male makes as much sense as saying my biological weight is 8 pounds

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all of your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.

Exploring your gender identity should be seen as a GOOD THING! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 How great to be able to have the space and support to figure out who you REALLY are. Social transition should be made EASIER, not HARDER. 1/6

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Imagine thinking that pissing off Dolly is a good move

This is an extremely good thread delineating how Substack’s finances almost certainly work and why it’s not an “investment” so much as an explicitly fascist political project by Silicon Valley idiot Marc Andreessen

The accelerationist belief that if things get bad enough, then things will start to get better is quite something to see in the wild. It’s wrong though. Historically, misery creates more misery and is visited on the most marginalized in ever intensifying cycles of horror.

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.

For those of you not paying attention in the back row and, especially, in the front row:

STOP complying in advance ***AND*** START resisting in advance. Folks need to spend more time actively resisting things before they happen. Have plans in place and don't just wait and see and scramble to do things after the fact.

DON’T MEMORY HOLE ELON MUSK’S NAZI SALUTE It’s been 4 weeks and 1 day since Elon Musk loudly vocalized his support for Nazi ideology Everything that has happened since has happened with the guidance of an open Nazi This should be repeated in articles, regularly

I’ve been thinking a lot, like everyone else, about What Can Be Done when #Democrats have no institutional power & the media ignores them. I think they need to get WAY more theatrical. Do wild stunts the media can’t look away from. Stop being respectable.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

It is horrifying watching the government erase a demographic in real time and most people just not really caring.

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

Pre-transition, my ability to endure, to keep going through to the end of something in the face of whatever, was something I leaned on a lot. These days, paying attention to my body doesn't come with a baseline level of psychic discomfort I could lose other pain in, so I can't do that anymore.

Resist despair. Greet the trans people you know extra warmly. Exchange knowing, supportive glances with your local lesbians. Spend some time with that kid who’s struggling. Make that art. Learn that skill. Read that book. Play that game. Persistence is resistance.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Why did you transition, wrong answers only I didn't let the guy in the pince-nez sunglasses finish, it turns out they've changed the color of the pill for estrogen since the Matrix came out.

Twist my arm, why don't you 😉

Boy howdy, do I, a trans woman, have some thoughts about how the gender revolution put a lot more emphasis on letting girls do boy stuff, and almost none on letting boys do girl stuff, which if anything reinforced the idea that girl stuff is inferior if not shameful.

Two possible reactions: 1) Continue on the trajectory that got us here in the first place by discarding this as “just Trump being Trump” 2) Grapple in earnest with the fact that Trump asserts dictatorial power as the providential leader tasked with saving the nation. This is acutely dangerous.

If you're more upset about being called a useful fool than a fascist? That tells me everything I need to know.

So the US is now kidnapping whole families and trafficking them to random countries that the US has coerced into imprisoning them for some unspecified period of time

Saying once again that Caitlyn Jenner can't "forfeit" her rights as a trans woman no matter how egregious her actions are, because rights are not earned. As long as cis people get to set a "bare minimum" standard for trans people before you respect our rights, we can never be free or held as equal.

Targeting trans people, Black people, immigrants etc is not a “distraction” from fascism, it IS fascism. It lives in complementary relationship to destroying democracy, because democracy is inherently about participation of minorities.

At the stonewall monument rn

People keep talking about the Gulf of Mexico, and yes, that, but goddamn I am going to call it Denali until I die and you should, too.

Maybe I'll become a maenad...

I got mad at the New York Times after their editorial board released an opinion piece condemning Trump's anti-trans EOs and I decided to write about how the paper of record laundered transphobia into the mainstream and paved the road for Trump's transphobia. www.patreon.com/posts/nyt-ed...

Witch Hat Atelier has good politics.

I'm trying to hold grace with myself for not figuring out I really want bottom surgery until right as things are going right to shit.
