Not anything to be bothered by, but knowing he wants to reach out to the community it helps to address these things well.

So the upshot is this: if you want to know that I'm transgender, then the alternative isn't man or woman, it's cisgender. If you want to know my actual gender identity, then you should give me the option to choose woman separate from being trans. Does that make sense?

Just FYI, asking trans people to choose between Woman or man or transgender ain't right. Trans isn't a gender identity, it's the state of having a gender identity that's not your AGAB.

Did you make this form?

Performative resistance is bad, you are correct there. Complicity, however, is much worse.

No egg, please

I was driven out of Panera this morning where I was trying to write because THREE separate people near me were using their speakers at full volume. Please keep in mind that people with sensory sensitivities cannot abide these conflicting of noises, and use your headphones!

You very much look like an arts fund administrator

No pizza???

"'Women' is a banned word": Trump uses trans panic to strip rights from all women Under the guise of "protecting women," the military, schools, and labs are forced to take women's safety away

In response to an executive order titled "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Radicalism," the U.S. military has halted sexual assault prevention programs. Part of the problem is the order uses vague language such as, "Federal funds shall not be used to promote gender ideology." "Gender ideology" is a nonsense term, meant to obscure meaning and frighten people.

"This is being reported as a side effect, but it's likely the goal. Despite a handful of feminists falling down the anti-trans rabbit hole because they once saw the phrase "pregnant people," the vast majority of transphobia is coming from people who hold cis women in contempt, as well."

When you’re doing nothing and now the part of the poem where they came for you starts.

Colin Kaepernick wasn’t disrespecting the flag, he was doing a Roman Kneel.

I'm generally a very peaceful and empathetic person, but I sincerely hope that everyone who creates "concept" movie trailers without saying so in the title gets non-life-threatening food poisoning.

Unarmed black man looked by cops - not the right time for politics (don't say his name)

I've been trying to delete my Instagram account for over half an hour, but they refuse to send me the email to confirm that action. I know this because I checked the server logs.

This is the new way: refuse to honor consent and personal autonomy if you don't like what people are doing.

Congratulations!

While the majority of anti-trans legislation - and anti- LGBTQ legislation more broadly - arises at the state level, David Stacy, the vice president of government affairs for the Human Rights Campaign, told Salon that he anticipates an increasing number of anti-trans bills to originate at the federal level. "We saw them attack trans and LGB rights at unprecedented levels for the last two years in the House, so I fully expect we will see a similar behavior - and they've given every indication - for this two years of Congress," Stacy said in a phone interview.

I'm feeling very unnerved by this phrasing: "trans and LGB rights." Am I overreacting here?

I wish more people understood just how harmful these policies are to cis women.

Post from 'Rev. Benjamin Cremer' states, "If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ."

So many have not learned them at all.

Did anyone know how the executive order will affect existing gender markers on passports, for anyone who updated theirs previously?

No one who has lived in NC is at all surprised.

Reparative Justice might be the exception

Sure... And that's useful in society. But in politics I'm not confident it should be needed in a just government. Like in Skrmetti... The government erred in singling out trans kids while allowing cis kids the same drugs. At first glance to me it seems identity leads to injustice in lawmaking.
