We're watching the Trump administration systematically purge trans people from public life and the fucking media just hand waives it away as being about sports. This is why the Dem capitulation on this is so dangerous. It obscures and legitimizes what is being done to us.

Welp. I guess I'm gonna spend today thinking about how one state proposing a trans bathroom ban was enough for a national outcry and protest in 2016 and now 9 years later the propaganda has done enough damage that a sweeping nationwide federal ban just went through and we won't hear a peep

PSA: There’s a difference between wearing a mask or respirator & wearing a gaiter or face covering to disguise identity. It’s important to discern & communicate this nuance because if you don’t, you might encourage elected officials to ban masks for everyone, which would be a public health disaster.

Moved from TX to WA a few years ago, have the same worries but we're putting down roots and hoping that it can be long term ❤️

If you make your way to Tacoma, highly recommend Side Piece for biscuits and gravy (and frankly everything on the menu)

It's easier to navigate than DFW and that's a low bar 😂

Washington State Just Made Stocking Up on Hormones Much Easier On Wednesday, the Washington State Senate passed HB 1971, a first of its kind bill from House Rep. Nicole Macri that compels insurance companies in the state to cover up to a year’s supply of ho...

hi, folks!

is calling federal electeds to ask them not to pass shitty legislation not doing it for you? i get it.

how about helping to bring about positive change that would materially help thousands of trans people? and that's actually possible?

do you know about washington state's HB 1971?🧵

Our senior boy lived with asthma very happily for 5 years after diagnosis, I hope you're able to find a good routine for your baby. One tip that saved us financially was ordering inhalers from Canada ❤️

Not sure if my cis pals are aware of this, but if your trans friends are sobbing in their office today this is one of the (many) reasons why:

Just wondering if you knew that kids too young for COVID vaccines have COVID hospitalization rates that are similar to people 65-74?

Just wondering if you knew over 1000 people a week died from COVID while we were celebrating winter holidays and the New Year?

Does FDA Administrators know?

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar. She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards. Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'. @fight_for_a_future @rowllingofficial

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

International students typically have requirements for at least some courses in-person for their visa status, which complicates remote learning options 😩

Not hearing enough noise about Mahmoud Khalil from folks who like to quote the "first they came for" poem. Y'all get that the point is that they came for controversial, easily othered groups first, right? Now, it's trans people, immigrants, and student activists. Your turn will come. Fight now.

Lifestraw makes a pitcher version of their filters, I recently got one for this reason!

"What about organizations?"

The $20 you give directly to a trans person in need or a trans artist will do infinitely more good than the same $20 given to the ACLU or the Trevor Project.

Not saying those are bad orgs, just saying facts.

Iowa lawmakers pass bill removing trans civil rights protections, sending it to governor Protesters filled the Iowa Capitol on Thursday as lawmakers passed a bill removing gender identity from the Iowa Civil Rights Act.

'What rights don't you have?'

Fuck you motherfuckers who have said this, over and over and over and over and over again for the past 5 years.

Every single one of you.

FIGHT THE TX ANTI-MASK BILL Overview An anti-mask bill was filed at the Texas state level by Representative Tom Oliverson, who is in Cypress, Texas. Cypress is within the Houston area. Contact Oliverson’s office via phone cal...

Texas becomes the latest State to propose a mask ban.

These are ugly laws. They’re discriminatory & push disabled people further out of society. They increase the likelihood of police harassment. They paint maskers as “bad”.

There’s an excellent document with scripts for how to call & fight back!

Can confirm it's one of the heaviest masks I've worn, but that has a lesser impact if I'm not walking/moving. It's my go to for planes and events where I'm mainly seated and still.

Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.

TIL! Thanks for sharing

Darn, just wishful thinking on my part 😔

Was there any mention of friendly states issuing new birth certificates to get around issues like TX refusing updates? Not sure if that's a possibility

International human rights violations are taking place RIGHT NOW in the United States, as an entire group of over 1.5+ million people have essentially been erased from existence by our government.

Transgender people's existence is being criminalized.

We are in grave danger and need help.

No, it's not enough to oppose exterminating trans people. I want cis Democrats to fucking fight for us. I want my community to stop fucking dying. And I want cis Democrats to stop treating us as a distraction. They wouldn't even fight for McBride to use the women's bathroom.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

No criminal record, married to a U.S. citizen, and was already going through the long and difficult process of getting a green card.

Currently locked in ICE detention.

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

Fellow cis folks! Are you looking for a place to put some money to support our trans friends?

@distributeaid.org's fundraiser for donations of injection-based HRT kits is only $1200 away from $40k.

(I just donated! There's a paypal integration! I didn't even have to get up and get my wallet!)

If nothing else, today should prove what we've been saying for a while:

The United States of America is actively engaged in a genocide of its trans population.
