Bank of America decided to randomly change my name on a bunch of accounts to my deadname, even though those accounts were opened as Raye months AFTER I changed it and have never been associated with my deadname...

I'm glad that I am continuously able to fill these classes full of LGBTQ people learning how to stay safe and protect themselves, but it also gives me serious pause that the state of the world is such that a bunch of us suddenly feel the need to arm ourselves... ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

9 rainbows colored like various pride flags with labels. A heading that reads "the genders". The labels are:

Pride: Carbine
Pansexual: Pump-action
Non-Binary: Semi-auto
Lesbian: Lever-action
Genderqueer: Bullpup
Genderfluid: Select Fire
Bisexual: Sub-compact
Asexual: Antique
Transgender: Bolt-action

I went back and forth with Hyundai for a few months. Eventually I tried the CEO email and got an executive case manager to get a Field Engineer to come out and look at the car. They drove it around the west burbs for like 4 hours with a bunch of wires connected to it, so maybe a fix is incoming!

Army document outlines plans for expelling transgender troops from military Army guidelines instruct commanders and soldiers on interacting with and identifying service members with gender dysphoria as they leave the military.

"JDK separation code is a red flag ... that the service members were separated for 'national security interests'"

Not a good sign of how they plan on handling the transgender service ban. I wonder if they will seek dishonorable discharges in some cases, making them ineligible to possess firearms.

USB passkey was the only remaining option, so I had to go in the closet and search for a USB-C to USB-A OTG adapter. Luckily, I had one. Once I got it plugged in it asks for a PIN while simultaneously disabling the keyboard because the Yubikey is plugged in...

It couldn't log in to my account via my old phone for some unknown reason, and logging in via passkey is basically impossible. QR code login did nothing. NFC passkey didn't work.

Woman says security guard at Liberty Hotel in Boston confronted her in bathroom, asked to prove gender A couple said a security guard at the Liberty Hotel in Boston challenged their use of a bathroom and kicked them out.

Okay, so apparently we've reached the "only way to stop a bad guy in the women's room is a good guy in the women's room" stage of this absurdity. I'm sure all the women felt much safer when a male security guard barged into the bathroom to check for penises... ๐Ÿ˜’

Fact Check: Trump's HHS Review On Trans Care Filled With Pseudoscience, Pushes Conversion Therapy The review, which was made possible by an executive order calling transgender healthcare "mutilation," reached its predetermined conclusion on its May 1st publication date.

Every media outlet, including trans ones, are missing the big picture about the bogus, Chat GPT, anonymous (SEGM) report on health care for trans people. Here's the parts that matter MOST:

1. It includes social transition as medical intervention. 1/n
