Some of us weren't saying "defund the police" bc we were saying "abolish the police"

This shouldn't be a hot take, but protecting trans women should not be gatekept based on how well their transition is going, nor should it be done to the exclusion of protecting other trans and intersex people.

Trade war with China cutting off people's little treats is gonna radicalize far more Americans faster than any civil rights issue.

Happy birthday, Dad. Time to come back now, it’s all gone a bit rubbish without you. ❤️❤️❤️

Bouncing off Kara here, it is truly frustrating knowing so many fantastic trans indie authors who will never get a shred of the respect, readership or, frankly, financial success that the goddamn TERF wizard lady enjoys And yeah, I'm damn one of them

Absolutely fuck everyone involved in this show. They know. They all know. It's impossible not to at this point. Lithgow had a CLOSE FRIEND reach out and try and get how awful this is through to him and he's more than happy to take the role and is "curious" to meet Rowling. Absolute fucking scum.

I need my cis people to realize that "Trans rights" are material, not metaphysics. We deserve access to HRT with informed consent, not gatekeeping. We desrve bodily autonomy. To not be fired, exploited, or evicted. To not be discriminated against.

This in a real story posted by NBC and blasted out to their email lists. The mainstream media is, without exaggeration, gonna kill us all.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

Bridget explaining how she found herself

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

Please be patient with the trans and non binary people in your life atm. If they're extra snappy or short or tired or sad. Just be there and don't take it personally. This is exhausting and leaves little emotional bandwidth for much else stress currently.

is this good

It is actually okay for us to expect self-proclaimed allies to cut their hateful friends and family members out of their lives. You don't get to be like, "I am against all bigotry except for from my friend Susan who is just Like That!"

trans people are an incredibly small minority that is also disenfranchised politically and economically and is too scattered to be a local majority anywhere so we hold no influence. i am therefore calling for a moratorium on any cis people trying to convince any trans people of literally anything

YouTube series getting picked up for on major streamers is a HUGE development in the entertainment landscape. Social media and Hollywood are merrrrrging! Congrats to Viv, Morgana, and all the Helluva team!

Remember on the Old Bird Site when a wannabe "left" influencer said hourly barristas as Starbucks weren't working class because they sold coffee and many were queer? Anyway, that's the same energy as "teachers aren't working class."

one of the most fundamental political differences in America right now is whether you believe that children are full individuals with certain inalienable rights or whether you see them as the property of their fathers to dispose of as they wish

My question is... why would they think we don't lock the stall door?

I’m a trans man. If my football team followed the EHRC guidance for our match today, I would have had to change in a separate room and use a separate toilet. Ultimately, I imagine the EHRC would like to ban me from playing on the same team as cis men. We say no. Trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

jk rowling is pretending she doesn’t know who pedro pascal is. clever lie tho bcos i absolutely believe that when she doesn’t know something she’s too lazy to look it up.

At this point "Abolish ICE and prosecute every officer who helped with deportations" is the moderate path

And now they don't even want obedient workers. They want AI running everything so that they don't have to pay people shit.

This is a really bad idea and I don't recommend anyone carries these cards made by translucent. If you are challenged in the loos finish your business there, leave quietly and peacefully, start filming if you are being threatened and get the fuck to safety first and foremost

Really have to stop using “Third World” as an insult especially considering a lot of the abuses and outrages it’s meant to evoke were of a piece with “First World” foreign policy.

I'm gonna be real chief if you're trying to do this now — at this time — I consider you an enemy of humanity

WE SAT DOWN FOR DINNER AND WE'VE GOT DINNER AND A SHOW HAHAHAHAHAHA

They literally refuse to acknowledge that trans masc people even exist. Either mandate the desegregation of all gendered spaces and make everything single-stall, or simply let everyone go wherever they feel comfortable. Either way, leave us the fuck alone.

A generation of infants are being born HIV+ today who should have been born HIV-free because one of the principal propagandists of AI bullshit in the world dismantled PEPFAR and USAID.

I think we should start doing things to rich people

Man I’m just so fucking proud of all the people who didn’t give up and aren’t going to give up

“I think that trans people should have their own sports events” America has three hundred million people and about ten teenage transgender athletes.

*cries in library worker* They are the OPPOSITE of useful. They train people to exercise critical thinking less and flatten the experience of academic and scientific work. My dad has a friend from China who frets about her grammar. It’s worse when she uses chatGPT and it doesn’t sound like her.

I have to imagine the longer you live, the freakier your kinks. That's why Viera are certifiably the most kinky race in FFXIV, in this essay I will--

It's shit like this that *actually* reads as "weak" to voters. The obsession with too-cute slogans crafted after endless focus groups screams "too spineless to take a stand until it's been poll-tested into oblivion."

If you ask GC people what you would need to be able to change about your physical body in order to change sex in their eyes they will never give you an answer. They can't. Because to them "biological sex" is a non material essence like a soul, given to you at conception

How did we get from "Do not use Wikipedia as a source" to "ask hallucinating chatbot everything"?

Trans women are biologically female. Trans men are biologically male. Non-binary people are biologically non-binary. This is assumed to be self-explanatory and to require no further explanation.

Btw, if you dont know about it already, I cannot recommend this site for macros enough. All of the moon recipes are on it and I've not struggled with crafting at all today because of it. 10/10, save yourself struggle. www.raphael-xiv.com

It can't be stressed enough that "parents' rights" are just like states' rights: a rallying cry for autocrats to control you, your family, and every facet of your life.
