I usually follow the Morgan Page rule: "Do not shit-talk other trans people in public." But this isn't shit-talking, this is a scathing review of a multi-millionaire harming trans kids, Muslims, athletes, and activists. Had a lovely time speaking with @domaindead.bsky.social for this video.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! If Jesus was born from a "virgin birth" and didn't have a biological father, it means he had XX chromosomes and was a trans man (and canonically a socialist Palestinian refugee).

The UK just declared that trans women don't have rights. At least we can see the irony and absurdity of it all with the majority of decision-makers being men?

Are trans athletes anything new? Nope! With this week’s moral panic over trans pool players, I wanted to highlight the 1910s-20s women's billiards world champion, Frances Anderson. Trans women like her have just as much a right to compete - and win - as anyone else.

USA Fencing competitors and staff held up their headgear in solidarity with two trans fencers today. They used their hats and masks to cover a racist, transmisogynist sign by a USA Fencing Tournament heckler (far-right Christian nationalist Mary Davis).

JK Rowling is lying to you again. This is two of over 500 competitors. They aren’t even fencing against each other or in the same category! If trans women are 1% of women, there should actually be more competing! It took 10 seconds to Google this. 🤦 member.usafencing.org/details/tournaments/9437

This story gets so much worse. The trans woman who she refused to fence only finished in 24th place. Stephanie, the forfeiter, also beat multiple cis men in a regional match just one week earlier! And conservatives just paid her $5k for her kneel. Why is nobody talking about this?

“Trump won because of trans people” is a right-wing talking point. Trans people were near the bottom of the list of 2024 voters' priorities. But making this false claim is strategic and pushes liberal politicians to adopt conservative, anti-trans policies.

Thanks for this excellent review @publisherswkly.bsky.social! The more we learn about how trans people survived in the past, the better we're equipped to fight for trans people today.

The Trump administration edited Stonewall's webpage on the 13th to remove references to trans people. They edited it again this morning, this time removing queer people. If you come after one of us, you come after all of us. They will not stop with trans people. Our freedoms are connected.

Thanks for the kind words, @lavernecox.bsky.social! Before Gender tackles the myths Trump used in his anti-trans executive orders this week. The book shows that trans people lived happy lives full of support before we had modern terms to describe ourselves. Learn more: elierlick.com/beforegender

It's Holocaust Remembrance Day. One of the most common forms of Holocaust denial is the claim that the Nazis didn't persecute queer/trans people. So, I restored a timeline of photos of Nazi persecution of trans communities. Difficult to deny what’s in front of your eyes elierlick.com/transholocaust

It's uncanny. Liberals will happily hand over the reins of power thinking their successors will play by the rules. But no institution is too big to fail, even the most powerful empire in human history.

@nytimes.com just released a glowing interview with a pro-slavery white supremacist writer. They sanitized his obscure profile in the eerily upbeat conversation. The NYT is submitting to the worst impulses of fascism now that the elections are over. They were never on our side and never will be.

Trans activist Rupert Raj transitioned as a minor in 1971 (2 years below the age of majority at the time). He shared his story in a 1983 volume of the magazine Metamorphosis. Over 50 years later, he's still advocating for trans care across the world! www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/files/j67313...

This case is already decided. The ruling won't come for months but the justices' positions are clearly against trans youth. If you're cis, get a prescription for hormones that your friends or children might need. Double your Rx if you already have one. Not all families can flee. Be prepared.

I’ve peed in White House and Supreme Court women’s restrooms before. Rep Nancy Mace can’t stop me from conquering the 3rd branch of government's facilities. She should just use her own bigot bathroom instead of trying to figure out strangers' genitalia like a creep.

In 1988, ACT UP protested the FDA withholding HIV treatment due to requiring unethical double-blind studies of medication they already knew worked. In 2024, trans activists protested promoters of an NHS-funded report requiring unethical double-blind studies of medication they already knew worked.
