Phrase just shows that fascists and their centrist enablers intend to treat trans people the same way they treat immigrants, including framing them as “illegals” for failing to attain a standard the fascist will not permit most to achieve nor recognize even for those that do.

On this horrible fucking day I am thinking about something @sexabolition.blog said when I interviewed her for an article a couple years ago: "The scientific process isn’t a debate in the New York Times. It’s journal papers back and forth and people going to meetings and stuff. It’s boring”

And when a federal ban is tack welded onto some piece of “must-pass” legislation, will anyone stand up for us? I have to say that, as much as I appreciate leaders in states that won’t ban care for trans people, their reassurances ring really hollow this morning

I feel like critics were VERY sensitive to whether the movie "Barbie" was an ad for Barbie. They seem perplexingly unconcerned about the fact that "F1" is absolutely, unambiguously an ad for F1.

Manzanar is a deeply important, deeply moving National Historic Site telling the real stories of Japanese Americans who experienced internment. It challenges us to confront the past and to never again impose such conditions on Americans. Trump regime wants to erase history so they can repeat it.

The “compromise” on trans rights is to make medical transitioning “safe, legal and rare” like what people compromised on abortion. Except most detransitioners haven’t started medically transitioning because people made their lives hell when they came out. Yet that’s never addressed!
