So... how does this protect women, exactly? It's always been about being cruel to trans people.

Hey y'all, the fundraiser for our trans, worker-run newsroom is nearing its goal. Please donate to support radical, in-depth, unapologetic trans journalism.

as someone who did not have sex until i transitioned, my advice to all lonely young men is to simply become beautiful women. this is a foolproof strategy

I'm glad Texas Democrats are finally going back to their roots of having a spine. they used to use this tactic much more often years ago but stopped for some reason.

RSE guidance is “patently and cruelly transphobic” - community responds to ‘Section 28 2.0’ curriculum It has taken a "trans exclusionary" approach and received widespread condemnation from the LGBTQIA+ community

‘Section 28 2.0’: New “transphobic” curriculum restricts teachers from encouraging Trans+ pupils to understand their identity 👇

the voting rights act is, in its entirety, obviously constitutional under the 15th amendment, which gives congress broad and proactive authority to stop racial discrimination in voting. and you know it is obviously constitutional because roberts has had to invent entire new doctrines to gut it.

not at all, just Americans TERF

crazy how so many resistlibs on this website have the most Nazi views on trans people imaginable

Family of Virginia Giuffre re: Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer

"It's w/ horror & outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker G. Maxwell has received.. Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children.. she should never be shown any leniency"

Finally my boy and famed NYTimes writer/genocide propagandist Benjamin Ryan is giving me some attention!!

I'm so honored that my sweet sweet two-first names Benny boy is finally noticing me :3

More than a dozen states sue to protect gender-affirming care from federal investigations A new lawsuit argues that the Trump administration is pursuing a backdoor strategy to restrict gender-affirming care nationally, while skirting state laws.

🚨 Breaking: A group of state attorneys general, led by New York, has filed a lawsuit accusing the Trump administration of mounting an unconstitutional pressure campaign against gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

BREAKING on MSNBC:

Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney has confirmed to NBC News that Maxwell has just been moved to a federal prison in Texas.
 
That prison — FPC Bryan in Bryan, TX — is a minimum-security federal prison camp.

People will say this, and then claim she or another person sharing any of those attributes should run in 2028, and then say 'the left' is ruining the Dems because they're not in it to win it.

Dersh is so insufferable he made the police Woke

sorry i didn’t show up to work today boss. but if i did i would have done such a good job 👍

I think it's a bit of both. The other reason Stripe doesn't want adult content is because it is associated with higher rates of chargebacks and fraud, which makes it less profitable

This is a classic abuser tactic that many trans people have personally faced in our personal lives. It's sadly no surprise to see it deployed at such a wide scale.

How do you beat an abuser? You refocus on your allies, call out and name their abuse for what it is, and find people who do support you

If we ignore or accept this false conclusion, as Rep Sarah McBride has repeatedly done (she likely knows this is a false narrative!), then that is admission of guilt.

If we fight back and point out the lies, our defiance to Dems proves that they're right we are costing them elections.

Trans people have been baselessly accused, against literally all available evidence and data, of costing Democrats the election. There are many reasons for this, such as Democrats trying to distract from how Gaza and their abandonment of working people led to their loss.

The extreme right wing fascists running the supposed "moderate" Third Way are explicitly deploying a common tactic of abusers on trans people: The Kafka Trap.

A Kafka trap is when an abuser falsely accuses you. If you don't deny the guilt, you are guilty.

If you deny it, that proves your guilt.

The way it works supposedly is the banking partners set the rules and Stripe enforces them

Where the fuck is JB Pritzker? Stop these lawless hospitals illegally denying trans kids healthcare.

@jbpritzker.bsky.social

UI Health suspends gender-affirming surgeries for patients under 19 UI Health is the fourth major hospital in Chicago to scale back trans health care for young people amid threats to federal funding.

UI Health is suspending gender-affirming surgeries for patients younger than 19 starting on Friday, further shrinking access to trans medical care for young people in Chicago.

Of course we don't actually carry any adult content, as a newsroom. But to the fascists, anything about trans people is considered adult and pornographic, and there's a strong movement to censor any queer art, journalism, etc with that label.

Not yet yeah, but we have to consider the possibility they might try in the future.

@transnews.network uses stripe and I'm planning on reaching out to ensure they won't ever target us for "adult content" given that anything trans is being labeled as adult content by fascists and Project 2025.

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to use alternatives for us, though it's possible.

Stripe is straight up lying here, by the way!

One of their biggest clients is OnlyFans, which they admit on their website is an adult entertainment company.

Yes they don't allow most customers to do the same, but they clearly can make exceptions if they want to!

I grew up going to this pool with friends or at summer camps in Austin. Now I don't even visit home anymore, exactly because this kind of behavior is the norm even in "liberal" parts of Texas, and you can trust the police will do their best to protect the violent men.
