I think transgender women should be given the credit card information of every transphobe as reparations for transmisogyny with complete and total impunity.

i'm really proud to see these efforts elsewhere in Iowa. Part of our original goal in JoCo and IC was to show that it's possible to put these protections in place despite what the state legislature and the governor want, and i'm happy to see other cities recognizing that and stepping up.

Ames, IA is trying to pass the same protections for trans people that Johnson County, Iowa City, and Coralville have. if you live in any of these places and want to talk about the good these policies have done in your community, email MayorCouncil@cityofames.org

EXCLUSIVE: Forced Detransitions β€˜Nearly Toppled’ Medical Unit in Georgia Prison During Care Ban β€” Assigned In the midst of a lawsuit, a Georgia prison resumes gender affirming care for trans inmates.

In August, we got a bit of extra money from a generous donor, and I used it to expand into coverage of trans life in American prisons.

This piece, by incarcerated journalist B Speaks, describes the chaos Georgia's forced detransition regime, currently halted by the courts, wreaked in one prison.

chart's translations!

always thinking about Toby Fox's interview with the creator of Yume Nikki. He asks for their full Denny's order (with reference menu attached) immediately after asking if they've ever heard of Aphex Twin. chartcarr.neocities.org/secretbase_4

i would like more of the non-transfemme people in my life to understand that i can't just get up and immediately go out and do something with no time to get ready. i would think the reasons why would be obvious.

just got out of a VCCCD meeting about a resolution to ban trans women from sports (that did not pass), and i want it on the record that Simi Valley MAGA creeps were quoting stuff Gavin Newsom said on podcasts to defend their hateful garbage, like we said they would.

i don't even understand what to do about jobs anymore.

i get ghosted by the VAST majority of positions i apply for, and rejected by the others.

i feel insane all of the time.

i feel like there is some invisible thing that every single other person in the world except me somehow understands.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

The story told here--one where anecdata suggests agency and autonomy have run amok and nameless activists are to blame--certainly rhymes with the NYT's disastrous panic about trans kids. Then you realize it's literally being written by the same author.
