conservatives want to go back to an age where women didn’t have any public restrooms because they were expected to never leave their homes.

cross dressing laws were widely used to arrest & jail women for wearing pants.

married women couldn’t open private bank accounts until the 1970’s.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

Trans people want to have sex and make art and talk about sports and do all the shit everyone likes, and instead we have to think about Nazi freaks all day. This sucks eggs.

Re-upping this because delivery around Portland could be arranged, because people are kind and generous.

So if you're trans and want a "I don't have to think about dinner tonight, phew" dinner, please DM.

I do bulk cooking for distribution regularly!

Trans New Yorkers Deserve Better Than Mamdani's Inaction On Trans Youth Care Closures The mayor has immediate steps he can take to ensure continuity of care for trans youth.

1. Its been a week since NYU Langone ended its trans youth care program.

Then Sinai followed a few days ago.

There are immediate steps Mamdani can take, and he refuses to do so. When asked about those steps, his office has chosen not to comment repeatedly.

4. β€œNo, APA’s position has not changed,” says a representative speaking for the APA, attaching a link to their 2024 policy. β€œAPA continues to support unobstructed access to evidence-based care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals of all ages.”

The appeals to "the science" to support youth gender medicine were thin as hell, which is why the medical societies are backing away, and it was reckless to burn their credibility here when they needed it for things like vaccines that do have strong scientific backing

there's so much elite media denial that it was the exact same group of people promoting vaccine denial as were promoting the trans panic. reading tweets like this or singal's ny times op-ed, you'd think they were two separate and opposed groups.

Intergenerational squabbling, insults and blame are another rhetorical tool of the oppressor intended to split natural opposition allies along any possible fracture lines and any time you play along you're acting as a reactionary against the intersectional omnistruggle

I wonder if Rick James and Dave Mustaine partied together back in the 80s, because Give It To Me Baby and Wake Up Dead are basically the same song. I can imagine those two passing the pipe and worrying about what was about to happen when they went home.

good morning to every trans person & also cis friends willing to raise their voices to speak in support of us.

Jesse Singal is not a journalist, he is a rightwing extremist.

Read this thread if you still don’t understand why so many people object to him being here.

Block Singal & DNI with him.

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminismβ€”because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own handsβ€”and tearing them down.
