Trans athlete bans always get used to police cis women's bodies. The athletes affected by this are disproportionately Black. There's a direct through line from this stuff to racism.

“Out of the 82 centre stage speakers, … only five were from academia and just three came from civil society organisations. This means that what “good” means is overwhelmingly shaped, defined, and actively curated by the tech industry” w/vested interest “regardless of its risk or harm.”

For the month of June we're donating 10% of sales to Cascade AIDS Project! CAP provides vital services to the LGBTQ+ community in Portland & across the PNW. In a time when medical care for the queer community is being defunded and banned by the US government, we're proud to support CAP. #portland

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.

There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Opinion | Trump’s White House accidentally admitted the truth about its tax plan Earlier this week the White House published evidence that the president’s “big, beautiful bill” hikes taxes on the poor to cut taxes for the rich.

"Americans who make less than $51,000 a year would see their after-tax income fall as a result of the Republican proposal beginning in 2026."

"Americans making less than $15,000 — the poorest of the poor — will pay 53% more in taxes than they do now

DOGSO!

Today, Columbia “peace officers” and NYPD kettled and brutalized nearly 100 people of conscience who reclaimed Butler Library as the Basil-al-Araj Liberated Zone. There have been multiple reports of serious injuries.

Staking this claim now: should we be so fortunate as to get another Democratic trifecta, it should be judged a failure if it does not 1) jail the people responsible for this, 2) abolish or in some other way dismantle and disarm ICE

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents.

Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

nothing quite like the transmasc experience of being prescribed medication to battle acne and hair loss at the same time

Reprehensible.

If you haven’t already, I beg of you to give up whatever attachment you have to Harry Potter because she’s using those funds to do this bullshit.

I think everyone should start their week with a 4mile walk amongst the trees with their best friend. Truly one of the best decisions i’ve made in a long time.

kinda sums up this officiating doesn’t it?! 🫠

Some Americans Have Already Been Caught in Trump’s Immigration Dragnet. More Will Be. Federal immigration authorities have a history of wrongfully detaining U.S. citizens. Advocates warn that the Trump administration’s immigration policies mean that more citizens will get caught up in…

“It’s really everyone — not just noncitizens or undocumented people — who are in danger of having their liberty violated in this kind of mass deportation machinery,” said Cody Wofsy, the deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project.

#TransRightsReadathon is here! Excited to get started with The Thirty Names of Night by @zeynjoukhadar.bsky.social. #TRR2025 Will you join me by reading books by trans authors or stories centering trans characters for the rest of this month? If you can, please donate to trans led mutual aid funds.

They are intentionally targeting people subjected to specific categories that liberals see as expendable or undeserving of full citizenship. This is a test of solidarity and people are flunking

it was a handball, but yeah. bummer.

I have to pry myself away from one love (women’s march madness) to go volunteer with another love (books) before I can see my one true love (my spouse) and go watch my other love (the thorns) play footy. the struggle is real.
