For my Patreon blog, I wrote about Trump's speech and why he kept circling back to trans people over and over. www.patreon.com/posts/trans-...

Just released memorandum from OPM: Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people. It will go into effect on the 31st. It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency. This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

This fucking sucks. If you’re trans and in Iowa, DM if you want out. Gonna try to pool some resources + knowledge to help relocate/protect people’s rights. If you’re in Iowa and can help, please also DM

"They are targeting trans people because trans life represents the principles of dignity, self determination, and gender equality that they abhor." YES! @moiradonegan.bsky.social that sentence is so good

Oh, look, Iowa made the world news. Oh, okay, for, you know, revoking trans rights... Yeah...

Iowa has removed civil rights protections for trans people. They literally have name it the Civil Rights Removal Act. It goes into effect July 1st, 2025. apnews.com/article/iowa...

“Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a bill Friday that strikes gender identity from the state's civil rights law, making Iowa the first state to remove civil rights from a previously protected class.” So shameful. When you treat trans people as a debate, you sow conditions to erase their basic freedoms.

The Iowa House and Senate will both debate their trans-erasure bills this afternoon. I don't know the time. House Rs will caucus at noon.

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

a month ago a trans veteran left the local VA and hung themselves with the trans flag. Today that same VA removed all LGBTQ+ signage from the building. This is a genocide on trans people.

iowa is rapidly devolving toward violence against us. i am fleeing the state for my safety

Iowa Senate subcommittee, SF 418, companion to trans erasure bill, hearing now, skeeting live.

it’s getting bad

i am in the process of fleeing iowa atm

I spent today trying to encapsulate how I felt about the Trump administration's concerted campaign to remove transgender people from existence across the federal bureaucracy, what may be coming next and what steps if any can be taken to push back. I'll be updating this regularly.

The totalised capture of the media by anti-trans gender ideologues, intent on denying us a voice and refusing to acknowledge our humanity or treat us with dignity, is an actual real-time epistemic atrocity. We are humans being treated like an abhorrent, aberrant spectacle unworthy of respect.

coworker: wow how’ve you been eva it’s been a while THE GOVERNMENT’S OFFICIAL POLICY IS THAT PEOPLE LIKE ME DON’T EXIST LITERAL NAZIS HAVE ACCESS TO THE SSA DATABASE OF NAME CHANGES ITS AMBIGUOUS IF MY VALID DRIVERS LICENSE IS FRAUD AND GROUNDS TO IMPRISON ME me: fine

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.

If the Ryan White Services Care Act (1990) is chopped completely from funding, our HIV/AIDs community that relies on it to cover meds/treatments/procedures that some insurances don't, it will be devastating and catastrophic in our country. It's up for renewal for the 2025 budget with Congress. 💔 👇🏼

This is what happens to the body when HIV drugs are stopped for millions of people “In the next five years, we could have 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths,” the U.N. AIDS agency told The Associated Press. apnews.com/article/trum...

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

i love coming across old teenage group photos where a bunch of girls are posing with me, cause i KNOW my eggy ass was thinking “look! girls are all over me! ME! im finally doing boy good! i can boy!!!” when its 100% clear theyre just posing with me like im one of the girls

nothing will ever erase the trauma of watching all this news break while hearing crickets from most people in my life

Going to be honest: this past week and a half or so has not been good for my mental health and I really wish more of my friends would check in/invite me to stuff/help me take my mind off of all of this. It sucks a lot.

Surreal being a trans person on this website this week. Every single one of my trans friends is making emergency preparations in case Trump bans our health care while fighting off existential dread and depression, and 99% of the cis people i follow seemingly have nothing to say about the trans EOs.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

freezing a third of the federal budget is nearly too big to grasp, but the OMB memo *probably* sinks the economy if adhered to long? someone will pitch “sensible compromise” like “just ban trans healthcare” vs “economic ruin” & when that feels sensible, i want you to sit with what you’re ok with.
