lol @ calling MacArthur genius grant-winner, NYT bestselling, American Book Award winner Sandra Cisneros "esoteric". You could just say you prefer white male authors.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.

But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.

Miss me with this bs.

liberals canโ€™t even handle anyone to their left criticizing democrats like pete buttigieg and gavin newsom 3 years before the presidential primary about how they have shifted right on trans issues and homeless policies. when is the right time to criticize them????

so when a trans person sees a democrat who hopes to become the leader of the free world saying "republicans have reasonable concerns about trans athletes" we see it as a half endorsement of the entire trump project.

we have to. we're in an existential battle.

As Universities Cede to Fascism, Faculty Must Refuse to Follow Once upon a time, universities sought to be spaces where critical thought was championed, diversity was celebrated, and academic freedom was valued. Since the Civil Rights Movement, many universitiโ€ฆ

In my latest blog post I lay out some things we as faculty can do to ensure that higher education remains an incubator that prepares future generations for a multiracial democracy as opposed to an incubator for Trump's fascist agenda. Check it out!

How Trump Plans to Weaponize AI's "Superhuman Persuasion" A new government plan would mandate that AI systems reflect the administration's worldview โ€” or lose access to federal contracts.

you are beefing with the "transsexual mean girls" because they said "we have a material need for HRT" and instead of replying "Hell yeah, bodily autonomy for all" you said "why are you implying i;m not trans"

What's the name of the article?

I think the article is more concerned with the way forward for achieving meaningful victories for trans legal rights and material conditions given this supreme court. That the discourse you're seeing simplifies the arguments to "transsexual vs nonbinary, who is more valid" reinforces JGP's point.

Reject Transgender Liberalism | Jules Gill-Peterson In the wake of the most recent Supreme Court term, itโ€™s clear the trans movement must change legal and political courseโ€”but what might that look like?

Last month, the Supreme Court upheld Tennesseeโ€™s ban on medical transition for minors. The trans movement must change legal and political course. For guidance, it can look to the history of the Fourteenth Amendmentโ€”and the history of Tennessee.

From a filing today, the State Department intends to revoke and replace transgender people's passports that are changed under a current court order if a higher court reverses the order.

This would be a major problem for trans people traveling.

Resharing my piece from last week analyzing the deeply victim blaming nature of the New York Times framing on trans issues. This plays right into that.

perfect microcosm of this entire debate: 1) cis ppl convinced GAC is harmful, call for more research, 2) research comes back showing GAC is safe and saves lives, 3) cis ppl ban GAC anyway...

"How did Pope Francis treat trans people? He gave us presence, warmth, love"

He compared us to dropping nukes on civilians, on hospitals, on children's mothers, and you're shaking hands with him? "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness"

The NYT Editorial Board's Shameless Pro-Trans Stance | Katelyn Burns Get more from Katelyn Burns on Patreon

I got mad at the New York Times after their editorial board released an opinion piece condemning Trump's anti-trans EOs and I decided to write about how the paper of record laundered transphobia into the mainstream and paved the road for Trump's transphobia. www.patreon.com/posts/nyt-ed...
