Our turn DC

I feel like USAID will come back quickly when someone explains to Trump that it’s just the CIA

if you are wondering if you are strong enough to start hrt under current political conditions, understand that you will be stronger than you realise once you have the right chemicals in your brain. you are already trying to process the horrors each day; it would be easier if you could think clearly

The memo directs people who have questions to contact [email protected].

Does this imply anyone (maybe only knowingly) referring to a trans person by their name or pronouns is “practicing medicine without a license”

For the longest time I thought turning 18 would make me finally feel safer. Not even awarded the smallest mercies holy shit

Saw this and immediately ran to Travis Alabanza’s “None of the Above,” looking for a quote I can’t find but here’s a page I think summarizes, but this is the subject of the entire first chapter (great book, recommend)

"your validity is not dictated by an executive order" is probably a reassuring sentiment for people whose needs begin and end at validity, but are unlikely to soothe people who need things like "legal protections" or "access to health care"

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

My docs changed when I turned 18 and turns out my old doc (at a queer specialty clinic) was underdosing me for 2 years and lying about it, even when I hesitantly (scared i would be taken off) raised health concerns i was experiencing. And i’m lucky when it comes to starting hrt young in the US.

regular PSA as always that when you doctor says "please do blood labs in the middle of the cycle" you should smile, nod, and then do labs at the end of the cycle. mid cycle data is completely useless and is actively harmful to your health for the levels that most endocrinologists mandate per WPATH.

False complementarianism--our experiences are asymmetric, and have surprising parallels. Transmascs experience regendering misogyny, but that doesn't mean that transfems are treated like men. We also experience misogyny, due to degendering, and are womanized, dehumanized, and expelled from manhood.

how bad of an idea would it be to update my the gender marker on my ID to say X before 1/20

finals week is kicking my ass

These are always funny cause if I craved validation I sure as hell wouldn’t have transitioned. Like I came out at 13 and lost my entire friend group and was sent death threats for 9 months. I was banned from doing the sport that formed a majority of my support system after I started HRT at 16.

couldn’t even utter the word trans.

I don’t think cis people understand how violent denying transition access is. Like they will go around spewing hypotheticals about how awful it would be for cis people to be forced to get a sex change not realizing (or rather not caring) that is what is happening to us.

god this is getting so fucking bad

i’ve seen people say “celebrating the CEO dying is bad, talk to people in real life you’ll see” i’ve talked to people and they all think it’s cool as hell

Says a lot about the state of things that I just saw the assassination video, and I'm strangely filled with hope? Maybe we're not entirely cooked

was dr phil at the counter protest at SCOTUS or did i mishear something 😭

It’s really funny that I never heard him. Like I didn’t even know he was there, and I would recognize that pesky voice if I heard it. Shoutout to the trans organizers and speakers at SCOTUS for being loud and filling dead air with music to drown them out.

This might be a “being too woke” moment for me, but I think people should stop saying it was never about kids. Sure it was never *only* about kids but (1) even if it was, it would be bad and (2) kids (especially queer kids) being denied autonomy over their identity is a key part of this process.

enough of "you don't have to transition to be trans :)" we need more "you don't have to be trans to transition !" i wanna see more entirely cis people biohacking their bodies

I don’t think people understand how much US politics is just people reacting to what the man on TV says. The median voter has been so (intentionally) deprived of education that this will continue to be the result.

If I was elected to congress and they tried to ban me from going to the bathroom I’d shit on the floor
