extraordinary night for state progressives in North Carolina

via boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

Looks like NC's 99th took a moral issue with that and had to lean on their values when they voted today.

There are so many talented trans journalists who struggle to get published because their being trans is seen as something that makes them inherently biased.

And then there's guys like this.

To be clear, the people who pressured me were largely homophobic on top of being transphobic. It's just that me being a gay man would have required less personal investment from them than accepting me as a bi woman. The price of their attachment was playing a role they could more easily digest.

I was pressured to be an effeminate gay man every step of the way, and when they saw I wasn't going to be, they wrote me off as a total loss.

Against all that, I was taking a bus 6 hours round trip and paying out of pocket to access HRT, because my state didn't have an informed consent clinic.

It was a unified front trying to talk me out of saying I'm trans, then talk me out of going out dressed that way, then talk me out of starting hormones. By the time I got my ID changed I was dead to them.

None of them ever tried to talk me out of having sex with men. It was expected of me.

I came out in 2010. Despite not even dating men up to that point, I was constantly asked "why can't you just be a gay man."

Not a single person who used to ask me that, including family, has anything to do with me since I transitioned.

Yup. This is just him having a little fun.

Pretty disgusting that you get paid to shovel out this slop, but way more disgusting that you make time to harass the people you're writing about for the pure love of the game.

perfect representation of the vicious asininity of our persecution and the banal mechanisms of its implementation: these regular-ass people, the staff at the dmv, dutifully inflicting whatever absurd degradation they're told, no matter how blatantly, cruelly pointless. would you do that? will you?

In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.

I wish people would come to understand transphobia as systemic, structural, and pervasive so we could stop treating transphobia as explicitly limited to people saying "I hate trans people" and accept the way our society conditions us all to dismiss, diminish, and dehumanize trans people.

a trans friend of mine from kansas moved to amsterdam and got a letter over there telling her that her ks license is invalid and she made a post about the parallels to the nazis and immediately she was hounded by cis ppl yelling at her for falsely framing herself as a victim of fascist persecution

for cis society, transition is considered a failure state, an unfortunate, terrible, worst outcome, which is why they try so hard to prevent anyone from transitioning

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

No one before Ben has ever considered that trans women might actually be effeminate gay boys. No one has ever suggested such a thing to us, repeatedly, in a bid to prevent us from transitioning, or developed entire typologies around the idea, or reinforced it in multiple academic fields!

Honestly pretty much always lol
I hate real golf, but I've always been such a sucker for the top down stop the gauge on 2 lines brand of old golf games.

Texas A&M helped me thrive as a transgender person. Now, it's complicated. A mostly good college experience is hard to square with the school that exists now.

back from my socials sabbatical because for the past few weeks i've been trying to put down words about how it feels to be trans and see what's been happening at my alma mater, texas a&m university.

Also pretty sure when Noah Smith says "this shitty culture that destroyed a generation of progressive intellectuals," he's not talking about Alf hog or how they're called skeets or whatever.

I don't think Jesse Singal is screenshotting a trans woman to post LOTT style on the Nazi site because he "dislikes Bluesky."

N.Y. Attorney General Orders Hospital to Resume Youth Transgender Care

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Mar 2 NYT
NY Atty Genl Leticia James orders NYU Langone Hospital to continue offering GAC to minors just 2 wks after it stopped, pointing out that it may be violating state anti-discrimination laws which bar treating a single class of patients differently.

I dunno, I'd probably feel pretty evil if I was threatening to train men how to single out women for abuse based on the shape of their vulva, but then again I'm not a demented terf who fingerblasts my dad's corpses.

What's crazy to me is that calls to criminalize and round up trans people have gotten so common that it doesn't even register anymore. It's just sort of accepted that's the way the right talks, and that even acknowledging it would give them ammo in the next election.

But a SEGM affiliated activist gets quoted as a "pediatrician from Indiana."

@MattWalshBlog It wasn't all that long ago that anyone who identified as the opposite sex would be involuntarily committed to an insane asylum. Does anyone at this point seriously think that our current approach is an improvement?

@MattWalshBlog Everything I've said about transgenderism for the past 10 years has been absolutely correct and totally vindicated. Now I'm telling you that the trans violence we've seen so far is nothing compared to what's coming if we don't treat trans ideology as a severe public safety hazard and crack down it immediately and aggressively.

Calls to criminalize and institutionalize trans people have gotten so common that it's just background noise at this point. It's not a fringe view, it's a mainstream Republican position.

I mean...
