I've been screaming this for years.

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/...

This is happening to one of my closest friends. This is not a drill.

Giving a shout-out today to the Gender Community Lending Library. Trans books posted for free across the UK, plus a penpal scheme!

Getting frequent headaches in English class because the fluorescents and the whiteboard hurt my brain. I excused myself one day and (a friend told me later) the teacher told the whole class that he thought I was faking. Thanks, Mr. Arkle!

The way the media has treated Dr Upton is a perfect illustration of the desired end goal of the so called "gender critical" movement: that the literal and figurative space occupied by trans people must be strictly limited to protect the comfort of the most transphobic cis person..🧵

ime it often happens when someone thinks there's subtext to what I meant as purely a surface-level statement/question

Now the New York Times wants to act appalled at transphobia they helped normalize. I am going to become the joker.

The 20-year-old hackers are not “little boys” or “kids.” To call them such is to minimize the gravity of their actions. When I recall the long history of criminalizing Black youth and designating them “adults,” this makes my blood boil. The racialized construction of “childhood” holds strong.

There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

If your newsroom doesn’t have disability reporting, now is an excellent time to add it.

My college roommate in the mid-90s was so cool with my queerness that she immediately asked for a room transfer

1️⃣ Black experiences are constantly redirected. Every time we try to discuss how Black autistic people experience misdiagnosis, masking, or medical neglect, someone jumps in with “Well, all girls struggle with this.” But we aren’t all struggling in the same way. Let’s talk about it. 🧵👇🏾

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

Happy: Black history Black present Black future Black love Black joy Black health Black healing Black people Black community Black family Black kids Black culture Black creativity Black ingenuity Black legacy Black innovation Black liberation Black resistance Black existence ...month🖤

If you don’t understand why your trans friend is scared right now, you don’t have a trans friend. You know a trans person.

we are watching JOHANNE SACREBLU, a Mexican trans woman’s response to EMILIA PÉREZ featuring an all-Mexican cast playing broad French stereotypes as a croissant and baguette heiress face off “France” is peopled with mimes and twisty moustaches and every character has a Ratatouille secreted on them

Bringing the hard-hitting changes voters were clamouring for ☑️

it’s so insane to me that people work for ICE like did you watch star wars and think man i want to be like the guys in the plastic white suits who can’t aim for shit

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943
