Point of Pride provides trans people with access to life-changing, gender-affirming health and wellness services. 100% of every dollar you donate goes directly to a trans person.

Skrmetti is gutting, but we are not going anywhere.

TCS New York Marathon Donation

If you're feeling lost in the wake of Skrmetti, one thing you can do is give $ *directly* to trans people. I am raising money for @pointofpride.org as part of my NYC marathon-- 100% of money I raise goes directly to trans people. Our team is also the only all trans/nonbinary team for the marathon.

At imagine of a men’s restroom with the sign with a large penis on it. This is an official sign

Today in absolutely batshit, my friend took this photo this morning at DFW. So much for protecting children from seeing penises.

some helpful reminders:

-not all jews support israel
-criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic
-being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas
-arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment
-violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

Definitely extreme endurance. In long distance cycling events (like 350 miles min) women frequently destroy the overall field. Lael Wilcox is a great (but far from only) example. Another interesting stat in these races is the % of women vs men finishers. Women basically always finish at higher rates

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

The REAL reason so many Democrats are upset about entitlements (social security, medical, etc) fraud investigations is that they are using your taxpayer money as handouts to attract and retain ILLEGAL immigrants. Their future voters.
That's what it's all about.
Truth.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff β€œbecause the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

The SAVE act would not only disenfranchise millions of cisgender women, it would effectively make it impossible to for the vast majority of trans people to vote as well.

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science.

The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people.

The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

I *really* cis need folks to get very angry and very loud about what's happening to trans people. Please, call all of your reps, but also talk to other cis people and make them understand what's at stake. Tell them this is a 100 alarm fire for us.

Trump Administration Formally Blocks Trans Care For People Under 19 On Federal Plans The U.S. Office of Personnel and Management has formalized Trump's executive order with health insurance carriers.

BREAKING: OPM is instructing the largest federal employer health benefits program to exclude coverage for gender-affirming care for people under 19 in order to comply with Trump's executive orders, according to a document I obtained. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

At this point it should be incredibly obvious that the new presidential administration is obsessed with trans people and genitals and could truly give a flying fuck about the economy or whether anyone's children will live to adulthood

And the press should report on them like they are fucking creeps

We really need more cis folks to start to speak up and speak out. There are too many people who enabled thing to get this far who aren't MAGA. Transphobia is deadly and only going to get deadlier, and we have people like Jesse Singal and the NYT b/c of their "just asking questions" BS.

Every time you see a story in the media announcing that puberty blockers are banned, it's untrue.

They've just been banned for trans kids.

Cis kids who are in distress because of precocious puberty still get them. Trans kids who in distress, don't.

People, generally, don't know that.

Working on a Washington Post story about Trump's executive order. I know orgs are vowing to sue, and I believe E.O.s are not immediately enforceable, but I am hoping to talk to some people with X's on their passports. If you would like to talk, please DM me!
