I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Simply remarkable that Sassoon very clearly charges that she personally witnessed Bove hash out an explicit quid pro quo in which Adams political and policy assistance to President Trump was trading for dropping criminal charges against him. And Bove reprimanded a member of her staff for taking ...

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

NYT: we want to wash our hands from all the transphobia we let loose, by putting in your mind the idea of fucking trampling over a trans flag

The NYT has been, and will continue to be, an active collaborator in the attacks on trans rights and publishing an editorial distancing themselves from the damage while doubling down on the lies and half-truths is worse than silence.

I guess I'd rather they publish something like this than not, but man it takes some big brass ones for the Times Editorial Board to come out with something like this after the past decade and a half

Even in this piece, the Times has to do its "just asking questions" nonsense about kids and sports. Screw NYT for creating this world.

The New York Times' retrospective approach to trans genocide isn't so much "don't do it" as it is "quietly, now, quietly"

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

Here's what's maddening about this: TRUMP GOT ELECTED ON A FICTION. And not on details, like "If you like your insurance you can keep it." He claimed to have one agenda, but then whipped out an incredibly radical secret agenda once sworn in. Nobody voted for this! And yet crickets from the press.

I need every cis person that follows me to read this and genuinely think about it for a while, and I need them to understand that this is the explicit goal of this administration. If you’re trans, you know the stories like it already; spare yourself.

Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age. This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO. Docs to come.

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

The Georgia bill is the one to watch as it’s also trying to reverse the 2023 settlement with GA state employees. This could influence WV and NC to try to do the same after employees received victory in 2024 with the 4th circuit court of appeals. Both Trans rights and Workers rights are on the line!

Honest to god, the legal orgs and attorneys need to sue one of the hospitals in one of these blue states with civil rights protections for not providing trans care to trans youth. The lawyers at these hospitals only understand legal threats. They are complying with Trump because they're scared.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
