Whatever is said at SCOTUS today, I firmly believe that women's sports are queer spaces, and that in order for women's sports to flourish, trans girls and trans women must be safe, welcome, and celebrated.
I would like to direct all speeders to this chart

So much hinges on whether we treat children as people with their own inalienable rights—to dignity, to education, to their own bodies—or as objects on which adults are free to enact their own desires.
One thing that I finally internalized when I was working as the head researcher for the Harvard and Slavery Project was how mainstream liberal institutions use investigations to claim credit for action without actually doing a goddamn thing to fix anything. Sometimes you do have enough information!
RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission.
Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

@fetterman.senate.gov your phones aren’t working, probably because everyone’s calling you to say vote NO on cloture and the CR. Stand up and fight, or get out of the way, you dickhead
If you think anti-trans bigotry is a magic spell we can cast to fix things you are just dumb as dogshit. First of all you're doing something evil. Second of all you will get zero credit from the right. Making our positions suck ass doesn't help, don't overthink it
ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.
S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.*

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—"
NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC
i see people comparing this to the way trans youth healthcare was the canary in the coal mine for attacking all trans people, and i talk about this in the piece 🩷
This post from last week has stuck with me in a way I can't even describe. I feel such a level of rage about everyone who voted for and supports attacks on trans kids and people everywhere. If you can't get behind allowing kids to be happy and be who they are, I have nothing good to say about that.
Cis people: the more of you that speak out, the better I feel that we can survive this. Please familiarize yourself with why transition related care for trans teens is so important and how it is safe, effective, and literally life saving: https://transequality.org/news/get-facts-truth-about-transiti
it’s been so hard to find the words. here they are
To my nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, and otherwise off the binary friends & siblings: You are loved, you are valued, you are important to our community, you've been here longer than the tyrants, and you will still be here when their bones are dust and the names of their false gods are forgotten.
This is true everywhere you have access to AI to improve "productivity." Do less and make it more meaningful. Don't turn off your brain.
