Certain gay men and lesbians have grown paranoid that too much acceptance of trans people could lead to the over-medicalization of gender nonconformity, ie 'transing the gay away.'

Let's talk about this. 🧵

Hungary banned Pride marches. This is the response ✊🏳️‍🌈

The Department of Energy is quietly slashing disability rights "If we don't put a line in the sand here, other agencies will try and do the same.”

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

New Hampshire Legislature Passes Bill Reversing Its Historic Trans Rights Protections New Hampshire made history in 2018 for passing legislation to protect trans people despite Republican control of the house, senate and governorship. . Now, the state is backpedaling.

1. New Hampshire in 2018 passed a bill protecting equal rights for transgender people.

Now, the legislature just passed a bill to reverse those protections, and several other bills targeting trans people.

The estimated cost of the unnecessary troop mobilization to Los Angeles ($134M) would have funded gender-affirming care in the military for the next 26 years. The trans military ban was never about funding.

Despite years of citing severe staffing shortages as the reason Seattle police can’t respond fast enough or at all to many serious crimes, today Mayor Bruce Harrell assured Seattle residents that there’s always enough cops around to harass the city’s queer community.

I’ve been using the healthcare exchange for insurance for the past several years.

This would be a devastating loss for so many.

Episcopal Church refuses to resettle white Afrikaners, ends partnership with US government (RNS) — In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step,' the pr...

BREAKING: The Episcopal Church has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by the Trump admin. religionnews.com/2025/05/12/e...

And that's not all: add in the changes Republicans are making to the Affordable Care Act (mostly not extending the premium tax credits), and Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will mean ***13.7 million more Americans will go without health insurance***

I know there's a lot going on, but I would like to highlight that Mike Johnson slipped language into an otherwise routine House procedural vote yesterday that now blocks Democrats from forcing an investigation into Pete Hegseth’s Signal scandal, through October.

My son and I have each been been reading the Murderbot Diaries, too! I’m starting #7 soon.

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

Calling trans folks “infectious”? Criminalizing medical care? Calling medical researchers “politically captured academics”?

This is so disturbing and dangerous.

I appreciate the energy and time you put into educating us about info that’s generally hard to find.

I’ve really liked several threads I’ve read by this author.

If you want to learn more about trans history and reality, this is a good account to follow.

Reposting this for the morning crowd: if you're on androgel, check you lot numbers. There's a carcinogen in it.

"Why not just try to be a feminine man" wow I have never considered that possibility before this exact second, as I emerged from a pod like this with no knowledge of the world just five minutes ago. By the way, what is the purpose of putting your feet in those hard shells? I have never seen those.

trump’s reaction (or lack thereof) to the attempt on the lives of gov. shapiro and his family ON PASSOVER is why it’s journalism malpractice to credulously report ANYTHING he does as being in service of fighting antisemitism.

jews are pawns in his nazi game and don’t ever get it twisted.

this photo of a charred haggadah (the book jews use at the passover seder) from governor shapiro’s house breaks my heart.

With everything going on, I barely even remember half of them by now 🤪

But favorites were:
Julia
History of the World in 6 Glasses
Twelve Angry Men (can’t believe I hadn’t gotten to this sooner)
War of Gifts

And it was fun to revisit Rascal as it was a favorite of mine in elementary school.

I hadn’t gotten to post my March reads yet. 33 this month: 2x as many as February; 2/3 fiction, so more fiction than non-fiction has remained a trend for me so far this year. Lots of middle grade books as I needed easy reads during late nights while grieving and recovering from surgery.

From now on, can we just place fact checkers next to Republicans to say, “Andy, that’s not true,” every time they’re lying or talking about things they don’t know about?

1,100+ anti-trans articles. 4 UK papers. 1 year. That’s nearly 1 attack a day, per outlet. This isn’t free speech, it’s targeted hate. It’s deliberate. It’s dangerous. At Equality Amplified, we stand with our trans siblings, loudly, proudly, unapologetically. Always! 🏳️‍⚧️

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.

The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)
