Nobody said that it would be easy, but actually I think you'll find the description of process quite simple.
Not with that kind of attitude.
Fellas, is it gay to fantasize about your dominatrix making you perform forced bi?

Soft landing places are good! But that's not the job of the people still bearing the harms of their actions.
That shit can be ally work.
We need reparations for ICE victims.
Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.
Like, I want to be clear that I don't consider us all different genders, we are absolutely all women, but it's also clear that the ways society treats us is because of how we are embodied differently. It helps me remember to consider intersectionality.
This! Though I would go further and say: your gender is the relationship between your body and the roles available in society for bodies like yours.
This is why Black women and disabled women, for example, have such different experiences of gender from White or abled women. Etc, etc.
What IS gender?
Your gender identity is your sense of self in relation to the sexed traits of your body and how the society you are in defines and understands gender and sex.
Gender is how we explain that complicated sense of self to each other with simplifications, allegory and metaphor.
This is huge! The European Court of Justice, the top EU court, has ruled that EU member states must provide a process to change gender markers on identity documents for trans people.

It's really funny how Maya Forstater and Julie Bindel spend all their time online fearmongering about how trans people are dangers to women and children yet they went to a stadium full of 10k trans people and nothing at all happened to them.
Thanks for the donation, hope you enjoyed the show!
There are quite a few US trans folks who are moving to various places - especially Europe. Some potentially useful resources here: transworldexpress.org/wiki/Main_Page (I help out a bit with the Spanish sub-site).
what function is the biggest jumpscare to you. i'll go first, clear choice for me at least it's obviously the gamma function.
These people also hate intersex kids and anyone with indeterminate sex organs. They consider it normal to use violence, pain, and surgery to make their children "normal."
I worry for *all* the kids of these people.
This shit is why the argument that "oh no they're pushing transition on effeminate boys instead of letting us grow up gay" is so disingenuous and infuriating. The people who want to ban transition also want to ban any gayness! They want to hit the effeminacy out of them!
Even those of us in the middle of the bell curve have to resort to dresshields under pressure. I guess nobody was available to teach Jake the pantiliner hack.
New for @theverge.com: i wrote about how Kansas' trans ID law and the "age verification" systems popping up everywhere tie into larger efforts to force trans people to out themselves both IRL and online
Haven’t seen the World of Gardian nonsense floating around anywhere outside of the Tube of You.

Seeing proof this morning that GC transphobes aren’t just safer at trans inclusive events than trans people would be at theirs…
GC transphobes are safer at trans inclusive events than at GC events where there’s racism, factionalism and fighting!
The hate only starts in one place.
SubscribeStar is just the latest in a row of platforms banning adult content citing pressure from banks and payment processors. Most recently, 3D asset platform @jinxxy.com was hit. The matter also touches @itch.io and Steam. More info:

We've been reporting on adult game bans from the very beginning, including the (sometimes peculiar-looking, due to very different youth protection law situations) situation in the German versions of the stores.

Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story.
I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community.
The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. "Pastor" Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis.
Please don't believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge.
The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pjqr6tr4eenix3cns7waoj4i/bafkreiark76hafgg5ek7hdz3seh7rxsnurhkltglixrwbl63n3wnl22zae)

And of course nonbinary/agender/other gendered trans people should be able to take whatever HRT makes them/em/xem comfortable, including "none" or "blocking only" or whatever. I just firmly believe, based on observations, that trying out the hormones your body produces less of is a good start!
I need my fellow cis people to understand that we should be passing out T and estrogen all the time, let people try them out
It should be an easy early intervention!
Everyone deserves to transition and the only thing wrong with HRT is we're not suggesting it MORE
Taking the wrong hormones for a few weeks won't mess you up as a cis person but your body will tell you it's unhappy
Taking the correct ones makes the brain happy way before the body catches up
Thank you so much to Santa Ragione and especially to Andrea for trusting me with the English script. And thank you to the Italian translation team at We Are Muesli for helping me navigate some of its unique, fascinating challenges. Thank you to the IGF Jury for seeing the beauty in the grotesque
them winning this award is IMO a very important statement, especially on stage at GDC
It bears repeating: Every store that said that Horses is too extreme for them to sell is lying. Blatantly.
There's nothing in the game that wouldn't pass muster in an M-rated movie. And it's FAR milder than COUNTLESS titles on Steam right now.
But it's easier than admitting a smear campaign worked
