I've seen some people complain, so let me remind you: The correct response is for you to say: "I did that!" and then keep pushing, while offering positive reinforcement every time a Dem does a thing you want. Not to doompost about them doing the thing you asked them to do 24 hours earlier.

NYT [Feb 12] -- She's baaack. Jennifer Finney Boylan up with a guest op-ed today: "The point is to erase us from the public sphere...As I walk my Maine town I do so knowing that a majority of my neighbors voted for this...[and feeling] the clowns in his Big Top are coming for me, personally."

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

We really really really need to stop attacking each other, especially right now. If you see a trans person with a bad take, just scroll past. You don’t need to dunk on them, just let it go.

In November, after the election results led to a wave of shock and despair in the trans community that overwhelmed hotlines and stunned therapists, Assigned put together the Stay With Us package. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

you can dislike someone without needing to paint them as ontologically evil. sometimes a person annoys you & that’s okay. you never have to rhetorically justify why you don’t want to be around someone. block & move on with your life. trying to destroy someone online over a grudge is unhealthy.

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG

As someone who works in genetic medicine, this is bullshit. We are nowhere near being able to change genes at that scale, to say nothing about identifying those genes or even the biology of eg needing less sleep.

to all trans folx: the torrential onslaught of transphobic hate that we are facing is a storm of reaction. it will eventually pass over us. you have to survive the maelstrom. if you do nothing else for the next four years, you have to live.

Trans journalists, particularly ones writing about trans issues, have been pushed out of the industry. It's why I started Assigned Media, and why I'm determined to grow and increase our capabilities. A 🧵 about the "quiet purge" of trans voices, what to expect, and what I intend to do about it.

Security pro tip: if you find a USB key on the ground somewhere, DO NOT plug it in to your home computer. Take it to the office and plug it in there. They have way better software that will mitigate any threats.

It's trans day of remembrance where we remember all of our siblings we've lost this year to violence and hate. We know we've lost at least 350 trans and nonbinary people have been murdered in the last year. We honor the dead and fight like hell for the living.

Here in Aotearoa it's Trans Day Of Remembrance. Every year, we light the candle Cate was gifted in Thailand, pour love & memory into the flicker & smoke, let it reach the dead. And we cry. This year, in the current shadow, more than ever. Friends, how we love you. Stay with us, any way you can.

It is SO FRUSTRATING to me that so many people baselessly assume that trans women have an advantage at sports without ANY knowledge of the underlying biology. Turns out estrogen has a really big impact on strength!

When you screenshot some goober making a shitty post and share it youre just making sure their message spreads you should probably stop doing that because its harmful to your audience.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Wu’s (nonsense) invocation of “antisemitism” here is a Dead Cat Strategy - an attempt to shock and strawman, to deflect and distract from the question of “Why are thousands of trans people blocking Brianna?”. It’s also a targeted harassment prompt.

Blocking isn't censorship, it's praxis. People who argue anyone should be allowed to talk at you however they wish, in your home, are people who aren't allowed in my home. Blockity block. PS: xkcd.com/1357/
