What will the Democratic Party do: a) learn the lesson of Mamdani's victory and embrace change and a younger, more progressive voter base, or b) run away from endorsing him and give backdoor support to "independent" challengers thus throwing the general election to the Republicans? 🤨

Imagine, a candidate openly supporting gender affirming care for trans people just beat the centrists rushing to deny our existence.Thank you, NYC!

I love these videos. I know it doesn't change the situation we're in, but it does feel good to laugh at schmucks.

Anyone else play the daily stackdown puzzle? I am absolutely stumped on today's 2nd word, even with the hint, which is a first for me.

I've been stewing over the SCOTUS Skrmetti ruling all week, so I finally wrote something about it.

With a few hours to kill in Berkeley yesterday, I committed the brazen act of dining alone while trans at a traditional restaurant with waiter service, something I've never done since transitioning. My server at Angeline's Louisiana Kitchen was great and so was the food!

Today @genderlib.com and activist volunteers took HRT in front of the Supreme Court and then occupied the street in front of the building. This was in defiance and dissent against Skrmetti, a demonic SCOTUS ruling that will kill so, so many trans people. Please do not avert your eyes.

I couldn't let that Confessore piece slide. It was such a disgusting hit piece on a vulnerable community in a moment of crisis. I dissected the article and why its framings are dishonest at best and outright lies of ommission at worst. www.thedissident.news/anatomy-of-a...

This by @philawsophist.bsky.social is really good. From the article: "When it comes to mitigating moral injury, you don’t have to change the world, but you do have to refuse — out loud, with your whole chest, to the utmost limits of your safety — to accept the world as it is."

I was struck by this paragraph in @jamellebouie.net's op-ed on public opinion towards Trump's mass-deportation efforts. While not touched on in this article, it explains why Republicans get away with so much anti-transgender bias: it only directly affects relatively few people

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.

Teen Vogue spoke with families in states where gender-affirming care is banned. They share how their decisions came from “the trust trans youth have placed in their parents...to do what’s best.” https://bit.ly/4kE5ldr

Live updates: Organizers hoped the No Kings rally along 7 miles of El Camino Real from Palo Alto to Sunnyvale would draw 7,000 people. It drew at least 15,000, with thousands more honking in support while driving by, organizer Sally Lieber said. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Was listening to a report on NPR about how "clever" viruses are and I remarked to @sharplorin.bsky.social that viruses are so clever they got us to elect a President who put an an anti-vaxxer and germ-theory denier in charge of public health.

State-sponsored transphobia serves authoritarian goals of conformity and obedience as shown by this no-duh research. Shame on Children's Hosptial Los Angeles for abandoning thousands of families by knuckling under to dictators.

I appreciate this piece by @juliusgoat.bsky.social for pointing out that when pundits and centrist Democrats talk about inviting Republican voters into the "big tent", they are tacitly agreeing on whom to exclude.

I've noticed a weird dream thing recently. My dream self will remember something she did recently (not from real life), it feels like a real memory in the dream, and when I wake up, m̶y̶ p̶i̶l̶l̶o̶w̶ i̶s̶ g̶o̶n̶e̶ I can't tell if the memory was from another dream, or something my mind inserted into this dream.

I had a long list of things to get done today, but then I read this piece by @judedoyle.bsky.social and ended up reading a bunch of Escapade stories by @charliejane.bsky.social and ordering a copy of Boys' Weekend by @mattielubchansky.com instead. Screw productivity, is what I'm saying.

Democrats! You will win nothing by giving up on trans kids in sports. The MAGA folks will just move to the next front in their eradication effort. Military sports shelters locker rooms Bathrooms Workplaces And on and on Give up this one… we lose one more part of of our lives. And You win nothing.

Anytime someone suggests that being transgender is somehow something new, please refer them to chapter 23 of "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck, written in 1953 and set in the years before World War I.
