Some context for the un-emBloomberged masses of Bluesky: today's GDPNow estimate is literally the worst number excepting COVID that has happened since the indicator existed

lol at least two of the five are “throw trans people under the bus” but left as subtext.

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.* short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...

Seems like a good time to tap the sign once again: would strongly recommend supporting non-billionaire owned news media - especially the independent, local, worker-run and/or reader funded variety

gone boofin’

This is true. Puberty blockers was a compromise between just starting regular HRT at regular puberty ages and the no youth transition ever position.

Another example of Schrödinger’s leftist: so marginal as to deserve no electoral pandering nor voice in opinion pages, so ubiquitous and powerful as to be able to change the course of history with a suffix

Bob Uecker was the voice of childhood summers for millions. Incredibly lucky to have been one of them.

youre gonna take those hormones and youre going to fix your brain and in a few years you will feel a love so monumental and all-encompassing that a moment of it easily eclipses the lifetime of petty suffering that came before

Bluesky belongs to the dolls to one year later going "actually let's all listen to transphobes and block trans women who stand up for themselves"

seriously: for all of the supposed "no i'm definitely a trans ally" cis people on here, the main posts i'm seeing say ANYTHING are other trans people. the UK has effectively made it illegal to be a trans child. they want to kill us and they won't stop there. the GOP is taking notes. say something!

the world is a little bit duller today without Bill Walton

bought a house and saw girl in red, what a fucking day

Instant @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social classic. The best photo caption I’ve read in forever and it somehow gets better.

when a picture says a thousand words

Legally changed my gender and had flowers delivered to my office a couple hours after sharing the good news. Having supportive family and friends has been so lovely.

Is she trying to be fashionable or is the girl donating to her closet just 4 inches shorter?

Let’s see your before and after pics, Bluesky! There are days I can’t distinguish between these two, but the days I can are some of my happiest. Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍⚧️

such a bitchy thing to say, but I fucking hate house hunting

This one feels like a punch in the chest: Vinay Krishnan on the bird app.

American soft power still getting it done

this is really the heart of it. cis people simply do not give a shit about trans issues beyond it being sport. it'd be cool if they did, but they just don't. the average cis person "empathizes" with trans people to the extent that it personally affects them. that is to say: they usually don't.

please give me a $250.000 research grant to investigate the link between "boys" who are told that they have such long eyelashes by their female friends and going on HRT within the next 2-5 years

I know her work meant a lot to some of y'all, but it's genuinely long past time to let rowling go. LONG past time.

Logging on

thank you @juicysteak117.gay for changing my roommate’s life !!! truly the uncancelable hero bluesky deserves

Happy Black History Month to those that celebrate

Huge scoop by Erin Reed. Ohio and Michigan Republicans announced their intention to expand bans on gender affirming care to everyone. This isn't about protecting children, and never was. Bans on youth care were the first step of an attempt by the right to legislate trans people out of existence.

they nominated Ken but not Barbie?

Praying for our country during the next 24 hours of obnoxious Michigan fans

Did I end lifelong relationships with people who found Donald Trump acceptable? Absolutely. Do I have regrets? That I did not recognize those people for who and what they are and cut ties long ago.
