I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

ugh! thats not right. i wonder if AI might have generated that language. AI uses all of our work and language without every citing us. in fact, id love to read an essay about AI as an anti-citation appropriation industrial complex. probably already exists. if someone has a link send it over!

the way this new bathroom bill in tx is written, it would force institutions to harass and police people as they use the bathroom. if the institution is found to have allowed a trans person to use the bathroom of their gender, the institution would be fined $25K and then $125K.

β€œBathroom bill” aimed at trans people approved by Texas House after decade of failed attempts Senate Bill 8 will restrict restrooms in government buildings, public schools and universities based on sex assigned at birth and apply $25,000 fines for violations.

it is about to be illegal in texas for me to use the public bathroom of my gender in state government buildings, public schools and universities.

the tx senate and house have now passed the bill, and it is going back to the senate now for confirmation.
