many of us former NYT employees have spoken publicly for years about the working environment there. the latest incident is by no means an aberration! it's frustrating, disappointing, and an opportunity to redirect your subscription money to other news outlets

It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

if the democratic party wasn’t a gerontocracy this would have failed. gerry connelly staying in office til he died allowed this to pass. this is echoes of RBG not retiring. when will democrats fucking learn

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans.

Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect.

I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as β€œprocedures.”

The Trans Literature Preservation Project: A Practical Guide to Resisting Censorship Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action.

If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

This is so terrifying. I've been in a sort of shock since I first read through it.

Every time I rewatch "the Outcast" I wish he had his way with its production. I love him.

My doctor suggested going on bicalutamide (or spiro, but I chose bicalutamide) and estradiol for 9ish months, and then I think to switch to monotherapy. She said that in her experience AA for a year was helpful for budding breast development.

This is hard to listen to. It's pretty clear that the conservative majority has already decided that trans people aren't worthy of legal protections and this is all a formality.

I'm newer here, but her posts have been immensely helpful to me.

When I finally moved to bluesky it felt like a breath of fresh air in comparison to the hellsite. It's really disheartening to see this platform subject to the same forms of abuse.
