do you really expect the loving parents of a trans kid to vote for a politician who promises to take their child's healthcare away? you'd be absurd to say yes we have friends, family spouses. when you come for us they aren't going to throw us away, that's what they'll do to you

I dont want to hear shit about how trans people need to accept "reasonable compromises" puberty blockers instead of hrt for minors *was* the compromise 2 years hrt and hormone testing requirements for trans women athletes *was* the compromise taking more of our rights away is not "reasonable"

“we can fantasize about raping people on livestream but if anyone thinks anything bad should happen to us as a result we will try to get them fired” sums up the state of right wing “intellectualism” pretty well

so the official bluesky policy position is that you can't tell someone to kill themselves but you can tell a protected minority category that you hope that state kills them. Am i getting that right.

"challenging democratic norms" is a crazy way to say "installing a fascist regime" but go off tote bag guys

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

there's clearly no point in scolding most people for their indifference to anti-trans bigotry. the refusal to leave Harry Potter behind, the hemming and hawing about the NYT's puzzles. people won't even put down their toys for us. I cannot express the white-hot frustration boiling in my stomach.

I'm not saying she's necessarily the stupidest person of all time, but she's definitely the person with the biggest ever gap between how clever they think they are, and how stupid they actually are.

You stupid motherfuckers

FUCK

love that they keep openly saying what they're doing and we still get argued with and interrogated when we say hey stop eliminating us

thank god we give these guys eleventy kabillion dollars a year instead of public schools and healthcare

TRANS WOMAN: i'm in distress CIS LIBERAL: no you aren't :) if you look here you actually aren't

Found this post on reddit and the last bit nails it: “Please don't remember her for the horrific end to her life. Remember her for who she was, a true blessing. To everyone around her.”

Black cemetery in Florida vandalized, 'Trump' spray-painted on graves reut.rs/495gOz8

Slain Trans UW Student Identified as Juniper Blessing: “The Most Amazing Human Being”

US internal trans refugee crisis cons: rapidly increasing threat of mass persecution, erosion or outright stripping of personhood, disruption of life, poverty from moving costs, displacement of families, endless communal trauma, decreasing number of safe areas, etc pros: yay my friends live closer

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

Not enough people are talking about this.     The Trump Administration is moving to cut benefits for up to 400,000 disabled Americans — people with Down syndrome, severe autism, dementia — for no other reason than that they live at home with their families instead of in an institution.

you just can't be the party of Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Pete Hegseth and get away with this weepy nonsense. first cast out the beam out of thine own eye bitch

I want cis Americans to sit uncomfortably with the fact that most of these restrictions were ushered in through the liberal act of "just asking questions" about trans people.

the party of "a whole civilization will die tonight" fake-rending their garments over violent rhetoric is funnier than the entire history of saturday night live

but me taking T as a trans dude is disgusting and controversial and a sin. i think media actually hates us ya figure?

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

ipad baby president

im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality

It's crucial for cis people to understand that every procedure and medication they are banning for trans kids/adults are still going to be available for cis people, who were always the majority of patients receiving those meds/procedures. It's only "dangerous and experimental" for trans ppl.

a new war in the Middle East, run from the criminal president’s Florida resort, sponsored by Polymarket and brought to you by the thoughtfulness and maturity of r/pol

this is horrifying. this is why they say death to america. because all we bring is death to their children and people

only way to describe what this is as intentional and targeted evil. they want to make it impossible for trans people to live. this is genocidal

I gotta say, being like "I support trans rights, BUT" while the government is making it impossible for trans people to *survive* is actively helping the government get what they want. And I don't think I've ever seen a legitimate critique follow, it's just repeating more anti-trans propaganda

I keep thinking that someday I will become used to the hideousness of cybertrucks and they will finally blend into the background and every time I see one I am struck anew by how awful they are

this quoted post is uninformed nonsense. policy changes towards trans people have been profound at both the state and federal level. the EEOC won’t even process charges of trans discrimination right now for fucks sake.
