ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban. It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture. Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes. CALL YOUR DEMS! (info in next post)

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

From my guest lecture last week.

ABC [Feb 19] -- Calling it "unadulterated animus," a federal judge appears ready to block the trans military ban explaining: "[T]he greatest fighting force in world history is not going to be impacted by 1% of the soldiers using a different pronoun." [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

No lie detected…

God I love theatre kids

"As a gender-care refuge state with protections built into state law, Minnesota has doubled down on what evidence overwhelmingly shows and all major medical societies have agreed upon: Gender care for youths is safe, effective and necessary." tearing up a bit. ♥️

glad someone is finally saying it lol

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

#BlackHistoryMonth: Since the National Park Service wants to erase the T from Stonewall, let's spill the T through the Stonewall Community Foundation. The first story here is of Frances Thompson, a trans black activist born in 1840.

Just in case people don't know the context, this is a policy called splitting the letters, developed by fundamentalist Christians to use feminist and queer language and culture to split the T off and then turn the others against each other. You can watch their 2017 conference planning it.

Protest at Stonewall tomorrow. You can’t spell Stonewall without the T.

Some days I don't believe I wake up like this.

Thread: With the rise to power of fascism, in the US, & its persecution & criminalisation of LGBTQ people, I want to share the important story of a gay Dutch resistance martyr. He said: ‘Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards.’

saw someone asking what trans people did to deserve all the vitriol, & nothing actual of course. but transness breaks the rule #1 of the conservative hierarchical worldview, that your position is to a large degree defined by your birth. choosing to put yourself in a different tier is heretical

Something's wrong.

The veil descends as I speak. It does not care for me. No sound escapes as I speak. The veil descends at certain perception ends. It cannot be for certain if and when this ends. The veil descends as I speak. Unable to be

I had a low-grade, two day panic attack. I've never had one last longer than a minute or two, let alone days. In the ensuing maelstrom, parts of my mind were lying to me. I couldn't tell how I felt, I couldn't see anything past the very moment I was in. A darkness/fire I have never felt before.

Why am I expecting my ever-evolving heart to follow logic?

Woke up even earlier than yesterday. I can't sleep anymore after 3.5 hours. What is happening?

No one else is up. My anxious heart won't calm down. I have to go to work soon. Why did I have to be awake at 0230?

Woke up at 0230 and couldn't sleep anymore. Said screw it and started my day. I wanted more sleep, dammit.

Mom: Look at this old pic, guess who you look like? Me: ? Mom: It's your grandpa when he was 23. Me: *winces* *siiiiigh* --- I've known since I was in my twenties or earlier... being given reminders of that at this juncture is...

I almost never have dreams with anybody I know in them. I have, however, seen the world end so many times over that it's mundane. The times when I do have people I know in them. I'm usually losing them. One way or another.

Lazy coffee in bed.

Due to timing of decision making out of my control. I have a day completely to myself on a day off from work. To say this is rare is an understatement.

I love Chicago. #MapRoom

Such a tourist.

:)

I'd like to thank the obvious bigot accounts for adding me and/or my posts. It's a convenient volunteer to the block list. Thank you.

Trans on trains. On my way to Chicago for the day.

memento mori / memento vivere

Yup.

Everyone gets ready for their day listening to Chappel Roan and Rammstein, right?

Blurry stirring blueberry muffin batter.

This. I’m not trans. But I know that our enemies do not care for consistency, showing them as hypocrites never even slowed them down. They want trans people to be too afraid to exist in public. They don’t want them to exist. This isn’t a game. It’s not a debate.

I can't tell you how much transphobia rests entirely on trans-misogyny. These people can't every comprehend trans men, it literally breaks their brain like Ben Shapiro in that debate. Having burly, bearded trans men use the women's restroom in the Capitol would highlight the absurdity of the rule.
