I spoke with trans and genderqueer developers about working in games in the US amid an anti-trans administration and harassment from online communities. Many feel left behind by the companies they work for. “Can’t piss off the bigots, because they spend money.” www.wired.com/story/game-d...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Every headline is like "Trump Appoints The Biggest Piece Of Shit You've Ever Heard Of To Head Up The New Office Of We Hate Trans People Soooo Much" and the first line is something like "Democrats valiantly perform interpretive dance to express displeasure just before confirming."

I am pleased to announce that Whitman-Walker has returned a trans care resource, now under “primary care.” I am told the decision was to update today and that it is a case of bad timing, but also confirmed the reason why it was removed was fear of the Trump admin. Still. I am very happy it’s back.

I will post only once more about this tonight. Whitman-Walker is how I am Erin. I hold this name because of the resources they provided the trans community. I hope what I have written tonight gives them pause, and all orgs who would do this. Because the wave has hit home and I can’t stand quiet.

Whitman Walker sold out the trans community for the false idea that it will protect care for everyone by continuing to receive federal funds. It won't. They'll come back for more. You can't appease fascists. www.erininthemorning.com/p/no-more-co...

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

You can not save gay people by supporting trans genocide, their definitions of "biological male" and "biological female" includes straight. If you capitulate, appease, or concede the lives of trans people, then they will call you trans next to justify your genocide as well.

Trans allyship means fighting for us, not just affirming us. Yes, telling trans people we’re valid can sometimes be comforting. But real support means calling out transphobia, pushing for legal protections and ensuring trans people have access to healthcare, housing and safety.
