trans people have been yelling about this for years

*I* have been yelling about this FOR YEARS

and still the general cis response has been 🤷‍♂️

this will kill trans kids

and it’s the next step to making all trans existence impossible and illegal

do you understand the magnitude of what’s going on?

Have they said why they’re reluctant? I just had my upper lip zapped today. It’s more painful than other areas, but they should be able to do it.

Me wondering what i did to get a post liked by THE @ripperoni.com

mere hours after chatting about how i wasn’t into that

Is that okra?

Congrats! 😻

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Best team.

TMBG John Henry HyperCard Sampler They Might Be Giants has just completed a new album, John Henry, which will be in the stores this August, but you don't have to wait until then to experience the twenty new songs (interpretive snippet...

The John Henry hypercard stack is back. Enjoy. jonuleis.com/jh/ (big big h/t to our hero Jon Uleis)

wow I wonder why my entire body was in the air in the first place

The "AI" responses that Google gives about me and my work are consistently error-prone, which I know because I am me. If I know Google's "AI" responses give incorrect answers about things I know about, I can't trust it to give correct answers about things I don't know. So, no, I don't use it.

1) this is amazing news! 2) conspicuous by its absence is California, likely because our governor is too busy shitting on trans ppl while interviewing his far-right podcasting pals

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night.

All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

The wealth disparity between gay men and trans women (and more broadly all LBT) is stark.

If you look at UK census data, trans and lgb populations are correlated

Exception: the city of London.
ie one of the most expensive square miles in the world.
Highest LGB outside of Brighton, v low trans

TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE TO PROSPER
TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE TO LOVE
TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE TO MAKE MISTAKES AND BE FORGIVEN
TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE EQUALITY

JUST SAYING THEY SHOULD EXIST IS WEAK IN 2025. THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THE FULL SPECTRUM THAT LIFE OFFERS

PASS IT THE HECK ON!!!

Every season of Taskmaster I think “I’m never gonna like this group of contestants as much as last seasons.” And then three episodes in I adore them all. Is this what Stockholm syndrome is?

I'm all in on the Ms.

It’s such a good movie, one of my favorites!

because none of us can do this alone.

Wrote this pre-caffeinated and fighting brainworms, but I still got their backs. #Letters4TransKids

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.

This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Trans rights are human rights.

We have the opportunity to create housing security immediately for 5 people. Once we have done the work of renovating, with one of our community members taking the lead with their extensive knowledge and experience as a master carpenter, we will have the ability to house up to 9 people in the house and possibly have a space for a rv or a tiny home in the backyard. We all will be taking part in the work to make this house livable and this dream come into fruition. For me personally, I spent 10 years homeless starting as a young teenager, I now work in homeless services and have seen the need for safe transitional spots for trans woman specifically to land in the Portland area. This does not exist yet and we hope to bring not only housing security for 5 of us immediately but to open this space to our homeless community members to have better access to services and the ability to get back on their feet. This will include -A free and safe space for homeless trans woman to stay among their peers while searching for housing. -A community garden built truly for the community, in memory of my late partner Neta, homeless neighbors in the area given access to fresh fruits, veggies, herbs and medicine 24/7. -Home cooked community meals that will feed homeless neighbors.

Tacoma children’s hospital stops offering gender-affirming care to new patients The only place youth can receive gender-affirming health care in Pierce County has stopped accepting new patients, The News Tribune confirmed.

More gender affirming care clinics for trans youth close in Washington State - for those who were confused as to why I upped the risk to moderate in that state for youth.
