I'm 43 years old today. I have three wishes. I wish to be able to express my bodily autonomy to complete my transition. I wish for trans people to have the same equal rights and protections as anyone else. And I wish to be free to continue my important work in digital preservation and archival.

Members of Congress can send official mail via the United States Postal Service without having to pay for stamps. A notice that DOGE gained access to sensitive personal data and recommending steps to mitigate that harm could certainly be official mail. This is an excellent idea:

Ok, so #HouseofRepresentatives, #Congress - seriously? It’s blatant influencing of our voting system. In black and white. On social media. How high does he have to wave the fascism flag, directly in our faces, before we snap out of freeze response? Arrest and deport him. He’s a megalomaniac.

For ppl who are still surprised that trans folks are overrepresented among the left's fighters - and I know you're out there - remember many of our rights are owed to ppl who had nothing to lose. We had no right to be free from rape in prison until a trans woman. www.wonkette.com/p/a-black-tr...

Again, non-Jews have given themselves the right to define who is a Jew. This is still antisemitism. The dominant form of pro-Israel politics in the US today is Christian Zionism, and it is antisemitic to the core. And to be Palestinian here is to be the untermensch. We are seen as subhuman.

Last year a Utah state school board member singled out a girl BBall player for threats bc trans cooties. She kept it up until it was proven that the player was NOT trans. EVERY story in the media made it clear she was not trans. Subtext: If she was trans she deserved gov't sponsored death threats.

This is why transness is seen as politically dangerous. Elon is no different to patriarchal enforcers who demand fealty from birth to pre-ascribed societal roles and paradigms from all of us. Born into our caste, only able to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic. We are a symbol of radical freedom.
