Alex walks down the street in summer and thinks to herself "damn, it's so hot. I wanna take my shirt off." She begins lifting her shirt up and thinks "wait... I'm hesitating. I didn't use to do this when I was a guy." She then experiences immediate euphoria and thinks to herself "my Torso is obscene!" She raises her hands toward the sky in victory and thinks again "MY TORSO IS OBSCENE!"

This was always the goal of bathroom bans, to fully push trans people from any semblance of public life, and it won't end there either, the "gender critical" project is currently trying to exert pressure over businesses that hire trans people in the UK, so that trans people are unemployable...

I am so fucking sick of this vile argument that fighting anti-trans hate is making perfect the enemy of good.

Forcing trans people out of society isn’t “good”!! It’s fucking evil!

“Once that is done” means “let a bunch of people that I deem less important die in the meantime”. No! Fuck you!

what i want is 0% segregation against trans people. what percentage of anti-trans policies am i required to accept to keep you happy joni?

We decide what our bodies are for. We decide what they look like faulty and what they look like whole.

our presence may cause "alarm or distress" for bigots so trans people get legislated out of public life.

cool, cool. cis people seem fine.

It is every trans and ally person's duty to from now on stand in front of any public bathroom they see and not let anybody in until they show a birth certificate. Malicious compliance. Oh you need to piss desperately? Oh this is giving you toilet anxiety? Oh this is stupid and unfair? Exactly.

I'm so fucking sick of this argument.

"Wait until you see how Reform treats trans people."

LABOUR ARE KILLING US NOW ROBERT YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER, WHY DO I GIVE A SHIT IF THE NEXT BUNCH DO IT IN A PURPLE TIE?

This phrase keeps running around in my head, how can you say this with a straight face? "It will also make clear that it will not be deemed as discrimination to EXCLUDE trans people" particularly when the guidance has this gem:

This is *Very Literally* the guy who wrote the “first the came for” poem. A self-described antisemite who supported Hitler until the regime took over the church. He got thrown into a camp because he objected. And then he wrote a poem that said “oh shit I never thought the leopards would eat my face”

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

Labour is functionally the Democratic party of the UK. When you seen an American trans person getting mad at Democrats over trans issues, this is what we are trying to prevent.

Labour officials consulted for American Democrats last election.

Just to add to the chorus in my own voice, the banning of @scumbelievable.bsky.social is a travesty. Gretchen Felker-Martin is an acclaimed author and critic whose only seeming violation has been posting fundraisers for people starving to death in Gaza. Return her to the platform now.

"As a shareholder, I am gravely concerned with the financial irresponsibility of cutting off a legal stream of revenue based on the actions of one small group of activists. If action is not taken to remedy this, I may be forced to sell my shares while they still have value."

VISA and MASTERCARD are now refusing all calls related to their policy changes. So call up as a concerned shareholder, prepared to short-sell their shares to reduce financial harm and loss to their portfolios.

They're trying to ignore us. Don't let them.

Evangelical Censorship is death to progress

Israel is just going to keep slow rolling inadequate levels of aid. There's no infrastructure left in Gaza. Each day they slow roll things condemns more to death, because at a certain point starvation requires medical attention not just food. The healthcare infrastructure is gone.

it was not that long ago that a state trying to pass a transphobic law resulted in massive pushback and boycotts from groups like the NBA. now it's laundered by our supposed allies as "legitimate concerns"

Do not accept the question "But how do we pay for it?" about social programs ever again. That talking point is done forever.

“Republicans don’t want trans kids or adults around cis children because there’s a real risk those cis children might not only relate to them as human beings but gain from them the language, understanding, and support to call out their own sexual abuse by their Republican family.”

i kinda hate these “we’re just smol beans leave us alone” arguments because trans people should be allowed to excel but they are helpful as a reality check to people who view trans girls as hulking beasts delighting in breaking the femurs of cis girl athletes

New Death With Indignity Law Lets Terminally Ill Be Crushed By Falling Vending Machines theonion.com/new-dea...

Pointing out its a losing issue doesn't help. Theyd rather support genocide than win. Theyd rather be transphobes than win. They will find the political analysts to confirm that they are winning positions and they will believe that data point. Stop talking to ppl who want you dead.

It's a red text post that says: (transgender woman being denied at basketball tryouts, but it's the same town where Air Bud took place) come on coach you know me, playing nationals is my dream! (coach) sorry kid, "biological advantages" and all that. maybe if you were a dog things could be different, but.. (trans woman, cautiously getting down on all fours and looking up) okay okay so wait. uhhhm, like,.. woof? (coach, visibly excited) SOMEBODY GET THIS BITCH A JERSEY NOW!!

blowing past expectations by miraculously remembering to post here a third time in one week

This is precisely *who they're being made for*

Tapping the sign

there's aspects about this chart that are maybe misleading but to the broader issue of cheating students, i really think schools need to harshly cut down on tolerance for chatgpt if they want their degrees to retain any credibility, let alone educational outcomes (which admin doesn't care about).
