The 2025 WV legislative session is less than 48 hours old, and state legislators have already put forth 17 anti-trans bills. Most of the bills were introduced in previous years, but this year is especially dangerous. If you’re from WV, today is a good day to call or email elected officials.

They’re trying to remove transgender people from Stonewall and now describing the Pride flag as being an “LGB” or “LGBQ” flag. If there’s no pushback from cis gender people, this will only accelerate. When trans people say we’re being erased, it’s not hyperbole.

Extremism experts say a now-familiar playbook to scapegoat transgender people in the wake of high-profile tragedies is part of a political strategy to sow division and expand authoritarian control.

The mask is off with these fucking fascists. Trump is calling trans military members dishonorable liars, is shutting down gov't funded programs to try to root out trans people, and red states across the country are following suit. There's barely any pretense to their hateful policy anymore.

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order threatening to override families with transgender youth and shut down access to gender-affirming care for trans people under the age of 19 nationwide. This order will not take immediate effect, and we will not allow this policy to stand.

Trump just cut funding to every Head Start program in the country, putting 800,000 kids at risk. I literally cannot imagine a president more evil than Trump. It’s unprecedented.

Excellent post

this is not the government of "we just think trans rights went a little too far". On day 1, this administration has indicated that their priority is to stamp us out of existence. This will be hard for some third parties to accept as truth but they've been plainly and openly saying it for years.

What. The. Fuck. My passport has an X. I am not going to limit my travel because of Trump’s fucking hatred.

Snowy January sunsets ❤️

This is why I’ve basically stopped using Facebook. It’s not just Zuckerberg’s boot licking. They have done nothing to prevent hateful rhetoric.

Parent’s Snow Day Log: Day 6,010 of this storm. The children are getting restless and we need more Honey Nut Cereal. Please send snowplows and/or cereal. We ain’t seen the sunshine in daysssss.

I wrote about Speaker Mike Johnson's first priority fore this congress: banning about 20 total trans athletes from sports. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Hard to describe the level of nausea I feel watching Dems pivot from "he's a fascist who will end this country" to "we're just gonna see where we can be bipartisan and avoid picking fights" in one month flat

"The article is filled with double standards and inaccuracies on transgender care, and is the latest hint that the paper's coverage is shifting right when it comes to transgender people." www.erininthemorning.com/p/opinion-wa...

The Amerika we got is not the one we want or need. The 1% is pretty happy though.

Whenever I explain that almost 95% of the disinformation that gets laundered through mainstream media comes from 10 people who are all in the same group chat together, people look at me like I'm a conspiracy theorist. But it's true.

Justice Jackson asks about a child who does not want to grow breasts. Notable that thousands of boys have cosmetic surgery to remove unwanted breast tissue from their chests.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

This. How come every time trans folk show up in conversation, we’re never the ones talking?? We’re talked about and talked over, but generally not asked to contribute. Maybe, just maybe, we should be in charge of our own policy making?

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

folks are passing around an “even if the pod save guys are right & trans issues cost the election, we can’t give up on what’s right even if it’s not popular” post & i’d love if you paused, looked at what that cedes & asked “what does this framing get trans people?” this is a thread of threads.🧵

This would be the biggest storm in years if the forecast holds!!
