Trans Ally Essentials

The perfect example is transphobic laws. TERFs are miserable because every victory they have doesn't improve their lives in the slightest. So they think the solution is to be even more aggressively transphobic. Repeat ad nauseam.

Queer kids' right to participate in the civil society actually is more important than little Kimberley's parents' right to have another shiny bauble on their trophy case to remind themselves they should love her somewhat.

The silence from politicians is deafening.

It's all about "protecting women's sports" until women's sports are under attack.

It had honestly never occurred to me that you need an iron bladder in order to be trans.

So we can’t use any public bathrooms without fear of harassment.

We can’t play sports.

We can’t serve in the military.

We cant have jobs where we might make someone uncomfortable.

We’re not even allowed to be mentioned by swaths of organizations.

But sure. No discrimination to be seen here.

If your idea of debate is whether trans people should have rights, you’re not debating, you’re dehumanizing.

And you’ve already lost the moral high ground.

One of the first things you learn about trans competent primary care is how many of us routinely develop PVD, UTIs, and kidney stones from avoiding or not having access to bathrooms. As a fun bonus, the disinfo machine then uses this high prevalence to make mendacious claims about HRT.

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...

at the core of all the trans people in public spaces "debate" is this:

I don't care if you don't personally like seeing someone in public

shut up, keep it to yourself, and let them live their fucking lives

Make sure that your employers know that whether or not you're cis or trans is privileged and confidential information that they're not permitted to share, that your colleagues have no right to share, and that even stating that they have trans employees could be sufficient to effectively out you

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.

“I think in order to bring people together on this, we also have to take everyone seriously."

Nope nope and NOPE

I am tired of lending “good faith” to bigots

No more “just asking questions”

Trans rights are human rights and if you can’t say that, FUCK YOU

DOJ Wants to Scare Schools, Businesses and More Into Trans Bathroom Ban A threat like this is a bet, one waged on the expectation that Americans, acting out of fear, will fall in line.

1. The DOJ under Pam Bondi is trying to scare businesses, hospitals, airports, and more which receive federal funds into banning trans people from bathrooms.

We've seen this tool lead to mass compliance on trans healthcare and sports.

Rowling is announcing she is comfortable aligning with the pedophile rapist building concentration camps because the alternative is to not harass trans women.

"This is illegal now so I guess we can't do it anymore" is fucked up when "it" is lifesaving medical care.

"The feds are threatening to make us stop but haven't done anything beyond make threats so I guess we can't do it anymore" is just complying in advance, and that's way, WAY worse.

Trans healthcare trolley problem An unknown number of trans people have been tied to one of the train tracks, while a runaway trolley is set to roll down the empty track, saving the trans people. However, that guy over there might voluntarily walk onto the train track. Do you pull the lever, sacrificing the trans people to protect that one guy from possibly making a mistake?

If you voted for Trump in 2024, you are directly responsible for everything that happens under his administration. Everything. You saw him during COVID and after losing the 2020 election. You knew who he was. This is on you. Shut the fuck up with "I have regrets."

While this's tough for us to talk about, there are many remarkably honest and vulnerable comments within.

in the bin with all of them

because it means you either agree with a bigot who uses her riches to destroy trans rights, or are fine enabling her transphobic violence if you get a paycheck

DO BETTER

the actual solution here would be for people to employ us & not drive us out of our homes, but in the meanwhile a lot of cities will also need this, because EO-14321—“cleaning up america’s streets”—is real fucking vague about who’s “mentally ill” enough for institutionalization.

We're at the 'we're very sorry we hired a trans person' stage in the UK's systematic erasure of trans people.

Even in Trans-Friendlier Michigan, Democratic Allies Are Failing Us It is exhausting trying to keep up with the anti-transgender news, particularly when it's not just coming from the usual suspects. Living in Michigan,

My latest article has been published on the front page of the Pride Source site:

Some people will be pissed by its subject matter, but as a community, we should ALL be pissed by the lack of public support and action from our supposed elected "allies."

We don't have hard numbers on how many trans women died of AIDS in the 1980s because we'd have all been filed as male with doctors either unaware or refusing to recognize us.

Watching us die and refusing us any shred of humanity. Regan's legacy soaked with the blood of our sisters.

Trans people are now banned from UPenn, Harvard, Brown, Cornell, Columbia, intntnl track & field, the Olympics, chess, darts, most federal jobs, the US military & intelligence services, federal facilities, public bathrooms in most states, & many local sports. Seems bad! Let me know what I missed!

National parks like museums, some art galleries, single sex sexual abuse shelters, and some hospitals.

Oh and I'm done states we can be denied life saving emergency medical care if "it goes against their sincerely held beliefs" for us to not die

Also, most gendered sports were originally unisex until men started losing to women and banned them from competing. Because it's all about social belonging until someone winning makes you feel less about yourself.

For the overwhelming majority of people who practice it, sports is not about competition. It's about social belonging. Once you understand that, the reason why transphobes want to ban trans women from it even outside of competition and even in disciplines like darts is pretty obvious.
