Also important to note that the estimates that place trans people at 1.3 million are rather old, from the Williams Institute, which did good work at the time mind you. Latest Gallup poll shows 1.3% of people now identify as trans, which would be over 4 million people!

The Trump administration’s obsession with the trans community is dangerous. We are just like everyone else. We deserve health care, education, and the right to serve our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Bolton: This is number one, not the kind of discussion you have in public. Trump could have cut it off at any point. Which leads, I think, people to speculate maybe this is what he wanted.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

What in the absolute fuck is going on at the University of Cincinnati? For the record, trans men are just as biological as any other sort of man. They aren't made of metal or something.

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

Looks like another protest heading for Stonewall this Saturday, likely even bigger than the one last week.

"Like China forcing Google to delete all searchable references to Tiananmen Square, it displays the immediate, authoritarian power to censor — but it is not a move made out of confidence in one’s position. ...it is a move made out of fear of what knowledge can do (and) how it might spread..."

Pretty wild that all it took to destroy the federal government was for an entire political party to weaponize hatred for trans people.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities. When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.
