If you're denying a transgender woman employment because you're afraid it might be seen as a political statement

a) our existence is not political
b) congrats, you're now part of the problem that perpetuates that myth

this is my endorsement of Newman Abuissa for City Council

ACLU is doing an event in Coralville

be prepared to see other places, especially already hostile states in the US, impose this kind of birth certificate check next legislative session. Jeff Shipley used language and tactics from the UK in 2024 to try to pass the civil rights removal act in Iowa, which grew into 2025's SF 418

This is legitimately insane. It's not an exaggeration to say this is actually a full on bathroom ban for trans people because they're banned from using spaces of their sex assigned at birth too!

grosse point blank mentioned!

Brown University is ‘functionally inaccessible’ to transgender students after Trump settlement “Everyone I talked to thought it only applied to sports. But it applies to everything," one transgender student told The Advocate.

The Trump administration effectively created a de facto bathroom ban at Brown University and none of the major media is covering it, and if they do, they character it as about sports. This is how the trans visa ban was enacted and characterized.

Transmisogyny is just this bizarre clusterfuck where people treat you like a woman, in that they talk over you, call you overly emotional, sexualise you, judge you harshly on how well you embody femininity, disbelieve you when you say you've been mistreated, all the while insisting that you're a man

please don't blow up the moon, everybody uses that not just america

Caitlin Clark is a psyop

PASSED 4-0 (1 supervisor is on vacation) 🖤

Thank you to everyone who worked on this, it was a long fight.
please put pressure on Iowa City Council to pass a stronger and more robust version on August 19th, and put pressure on Coralville and North Liberty to introduce their resolutions as well

See y'all at 9:00am for the Johnson County Board of Supervisors vote on the Trans Advisory Committee's Equal Protection Resolution.

I'm proud of the work we've been able to do with the TAC, this is only the beginning (watch for more from Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty)

Pages of the NY Post from 2007 featuring Ava Cordero under the headlines "GENDER BENDER SHOCKER" and "S(HE) HAS A HISTORY"

So yesterday I learned about Ava Cordero, a transgender woman who, in 2007, sued Jeffrey Epstein alleging he sexually abused her when she was 16. Her lawsuit was filed in 2007 while Epstein was negotiating a plea deal in Florida for abusing other girls, but her claims were mocked and dismissed

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

The Fight for Trans Youth Healthcare at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center It Could Happen Here · Episode

UPMC is forcing their trans patients under 19 to taper off their medication while simultaneously telling their emergency staff to expect more suicide attempts, mental health crises, and psychotic episodes as a result of being forcefully pulled off their medication.

oomf made a very sharp point that the last 15 years of the ways we've developed how to talk about all kinds of oppression are often conceptualized through legalistic and representational frameworks & so now that we are in a globally "extralegal" situation people are left a bit helpless and overtaken

So, that was a lie.

SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT! 🖤🖤🖤
July 21st | 7:00pm | PS1 cloud house | $10
this will be my last show in Iowa City until October

Person who acknowledges Nazi Germany is committing a genocide and says that we shouldn’t fund their concentration camps and gas chambers, but votes to keep giving the Nazis unlimited aid to fight against anyone who actually tries to stop them—just absolute moral cowardice and complicity

when you're about to say something really good

Image of a press release dated Wednesday, July 9, 2025, from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Public Affairs. The headline reads: “Department of Justice Subpoenas Doctors and Clinics Involved in Performing Transgender Medical Procedures on Children.” The body states that more than 20 subpoenas were issued as part of investigations into healthcare fraud, false statements, and related issues. The release includes a quote from Attorney General Pamela Bondi stating that medical professionals and organizations involved in these procedures will be held accountable, referring to the actions as serving a “warped ideology.” The release was updated on the same date.

The Justice Department has sent subpoenas to the providers of gender affirming care to trans youth. My understanding is that these are under the False Claims Act and they are attempting to gain access to full medical records of trans patients similar to how Tennessee did so.

Over 100 Trans People Missing or “Presumed Dead” After Israel Bombs Iranian Prison “The Israeli attack on Evin Prison — carried out in broad daylight, in front of families and visitors — is clearly a war crime,” says Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi.

1. News has emerged that Israel bombed a transgender wing at the notorious Evin Prison in Iran.

Over 100 transgender people are presumed dead.

An Israeli official called the attack on the wing "an act of liberation."

*i am not a lawyer this is not legal advice*

SCOTUS vacated 3 trans related cases this morning in light of Skrmetti. Two dealing with state coverage of gender affirming care for adults in North Carolina, W. Virginia, and Idaho, and another dealing with a ban on gender marker changes on birth certificates in Oklahoma. It's open season on us.

why did you go on conservative radio attacking trans kids in sports?

In a deathblow to the ability to stop blatantly lawless and unconstitutional actions by the government, the Supreme Court just gutted the ability to get universal injunctions.

Jake Sherman is reporting that the Medicaid gender affirming care ban has been removed from the reconciliation bill!

Huge news!

this ruling will be used to justify removal of funding for any provider that doesn't meet a state's political will. This will be used to target all abortion providers, trans healthcare providers, birth control providers, everyone.
