i was researching the history of trans people in the us armed services and noticed that the @veteransaffairs is celebrating trans soldiers loud and proud. amazing to see this act of dignity and honor in the middle of such disgrace.

Letter from a Birmingham Jail [King, Jr.]

depressing re: liberals and trans rights that it’s so absolutely basic to be on the right side. if you know literally anything about the civil rights movement you know the “well i support rights but THAT group is too xyz” people are exactly who MLK called out.

ok, create a new league. it will have a grand total of 12 athletes across all sports. and this somehow will solve the real equity issues in women sports, like massive pay inequalities vs men. meanwhile a tiny number of people are thrown under the bus and hated for a non-existent issue.

How Trump Uses Language to Attack the Idea of Transgender Identity Using words like “maiming” and “junk science,” the directives try to portray trans people as lacking honesty and integrity, and thus unworthy of legal rights.

don’t forget that the @nytimes.com completely enabled and promoted these violent, anti-scientific views as if they were reasonable perspectives in a debate.

we told you this would happen. an architect marvels at the haunted house they built.

and trans people will be labeled disabled next. i’m assuming that rhetoric has started- the closest i’ve seen so far is the military order say trans people are unfit to serve because they’re “dishonest”.

In my dream hackers took over the CDC website for the launch of “Come Darling Come” a sex-positive lgbtqia affirming wellness database created by non-binary youth and elders as an outflow of their divine pleasure practices.💜

Erin Reed Getting word that we will have another EO targeting transgender people tonight, this time targeting teachers. From a far right source: The order, according to the White House memo, also directs Trump's attorney general to work with state AGs and local district attorneys "to file actions against teachers and school officials who sexually exploit minors or practice medicine without a license through 'social transition' practices." This could have tremendously negative impacts against school systems, and could see attempts to put teachers in jail by claiming using kids pronouns is "sexual exploitation" or "practicing medicine without a license." Stay tuned, I'll

Hey guys, deep breaths but @erininthemorning.com is reporting that there’s gonna be another anti-trans EO tonight, this time against teachers.

It’s gonna be bad, but I’m glad we have advanced warning. My recommendation would be to take some deep breaths and emotionally prepare yourself now 🖤
