We do not

Eager to undermine the bargaining process, the university has now graciously announced a “raise” in stipends that amounts to… a 0.1% increase after inflation

As in credit scores enabled single women and gay men to become gentrifiers by virtue of purchasing urban property?

^^ Oo I didn’t read the immigration/crime stuff— this was entirely a joke about him being queer 😭 to be clear

1. He has a point
2. The fact that he has that point is a bit fruity in itself

These Supreme Court oral arguments on conversion therapy are going to be painful. No matter what is said, know that trying to force someone to be what they're not is psychological torture with measurable negative consequences, and anyone trying to defend such efforts is a bigoted monster.

dudes rock

And literally every Democratic performance nationwide would’ve been improved if Joe did what he promised and ceded to a primary in the previous spring. What’s your point?

Shutdown Day Guide For LGBTQ+ People: "Continuing Resolutions" And New Anti-Trans Posts From The White House Shutdown day is here, and there has been a lot of competing coverage on Republican priorities, Democrat's demands, and what shutdown politics means for LGBTQ+ people in America.

The House appropriations bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education is packed with anti-LGBTQ+ riders. The most alarming provision would ban “any federal funds” from supporting gender-affirming care at any age. If interpreted broadly—and consistent with how Trump has already wielded his power against youth care—it could strip federal funding from hospitals that treat transgender people, a threat that has already pushed 21 hospitals to end care for trans youth, even in blue states. At minimum, the measure would end Medicaid and Medicare coverage for transgender healthcare nationwide. The bill also carries other provisions: gutting protections for queer foster children, imposing a nationwide sports ban, and prohibiting Pride flags in public buildings. The Commerce, Justice, and Science bill carries its own slate of riders: a ban on funding transgender surgeries in any federally owned, leased, or used facility, and a prison placement ban that would force transgender women into men’s jails. The Financial Services and General Government bill follows suit, barring coverage of transgender healthcare for federal employees and their families while undercutting D.C.’s protections for transgender care coverage. Lastly, the National Defense Authorization Act includes a Pride flag ban, a bathroom ban on bases, and a TRICARE coverage ban for transgender dependents of servicemembers. It is important to note that these provisions made the bill mostly supported by Republicans, but a handful of Democrats aided in their passage, and 17 Democrats in the House voted for the final bill with these provisions in it. All of these provisions are a part of the final negotiation process to keep the government open through next year.

The Republican proposals to open the government attempt to leverage the shutdown to wage the biggest legislative assault on the trans community in federal history and we will NOT let them get away with it!!!!

It's a beautiful day to call your reps (particularly senators) and tell them to continue standing firm in protecting Federal Funds for Gender Affirming Care :)

Now wait for Schumer to call this a “distraction”

And now realizing how incredibly powerful that support was and how, despite being a relatively small department, it was the best place I could have gone to graduate school. And now I see that opportunity being wrested away from the current generation of students. 4/n

that doesn’t surprise me

this is fucking crazy lmao its like a gay Alien

ok but why

men aint shit

whats happening oct 18?

assuming they have a job ofc-- 9/10 if a guy tells me his passion is "lifting" or "the gym" it means he's unemployed

For example, the lower the education level, the higher the endorsement of traditional gender roles. This makes sense: in the eternal scrum for social honor, class ideals are unattainable, but nonelites can attain gender ideals. It is impossible to become a billionaire, but it is possible, through self-discipline, to be a “real” man.

this made me think a lot about the craze for "lifting" among men my age. it's always something men get into when they realize their job either doesn't pay well or afford social capital jacobin.com/2025/05/gay-...

people will literally label themselves “Moms for Liberty” and 100% of their work involves taking away civil liberties to the tone of finger wagging moralism

If I were trying to win a PR fight, I wouldn’t Abu Ghraib one of the most recognizable activists in the western world. So if I am, it’s because I want people to know I can get away with it. Torturing Greta is a flex.

It’s because she’s an autistic woman and men hateeee it

Frog was in his garden. Toad came walking by. “What a fine garden you have, Frog,” he said.

“Yes,” said Frog. “It is very nice, but it was hard work.”
