Trans folks speaking out against the anti-trans triangulation of certain Dem politicians aren't "helping" the GOP. If those Dems loose it will be no ones fault but their own. You don't get to tell a community that you don't need them, and then blame them for not showing up for you.

one of the most important lessons I learned in my time with the union was that all decisions, and I do mean all, come down to a single calculus: can you make those with power believe it is more expensive to say no to you, than to say yes?

A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost

imagine if cis people treated trans lives with any sense of urgency and compassion

Anyone remembers that time when Brad Lander publicly lost his shit at a Brooklyn bookstore for cancelling an event hosting a zionist propaganda author's pro-Israel book that led to the anti-zionist employee who cancelled the event getting fired by the store-owner?

pat mcafee amplified an unsubstantiated burnerverse rumor about an 19 year old girl, ruining her college life, and i’m supposed to care that people lightly made fun of him for being a one trick loser?

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

And, of course, instead of the original post being deleted, the fucker removes the quote so that the misinformation can continue to spread without pushback.

Something I spoke about before was how transphobia is often an expression of misogyny, it gives people who hate women an outlet and sets trans women up as a class of women it's socially okay to be misogynistic towards, while also providing an ideological justification for that misogyny.

This is why I hate the “it has to be subtle!!!” Critique of queer media. The fact that we can’t just say what we are or what the character is is so reductive and constraining to so many queer writers. Don’t let cis people dictate how you show you identity. They don’t know what they’re saying.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

lol the endorsements page is 404'd now, I wonder how many endorsements he lost in the last 24 hours.

Unpopular opinion: In 2026, the Israeli government and Israeli settlers are advancing into Palestinian land faster than the Russian army is advancing into Ukraine.

This was VERY FUCKING TRUE of what the atmosphere was in 1992. Basically, because it was "the right people" who were getting sick, nobody in the mainstream gave two shits. Better to let them die for their "sin". Don't come at me about how "pro-gay" Clinton was, either.

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

Funny how an American Muslim candidate is often questioned about extremism, linked to radicalism, and called names by Trump and his ilk. I wonder why they don't ask Jewish American candidates about Israel, the genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, or what lies children in Israel are taught about Muslims?

Today I wrote about Abdul El Sayed's encounter with a Christian fascist named "Tommy," and the fine art of digging up the shameful things fascists bury under their accusations, exposing them for what they are, and then burying their lies in the hole left behind. www.the-reframe.com/taking-our-c...

These democrats are literally saying they will vote with the Republicans in favor of banning Trans people's access to healthcare and public sanitation, you dumbfuck!

trans people are already compromising in this election by simply asking that our existing rights not be on the chopping block what dems are doing now is deciding whether they actually need to negotiate with us at all so telling us to vote to keep a spot in the tent is pretty fucking condescending

Here is the Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs, spreading the antisemitic conspiracy theory that the Soros family are the puppet masters behind the election in Brazil yesterday. The Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs seems to see it as his job to make the Diaspora less safe.

The thing about getting people to vote for you is you have to actually offer them something "Im gonna segregate your community you slur, but vote for me cause maybe I wont harm other people as much as the other guy" is about as compelling as suggesting rat poison as a snack.

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

this is a perfectly reasonable list, imo these four are all monumentally awful on trans issues and this is a more than fair place to draw the line, especially given how the elections currently look - three of them are in the house, where dems will romp regardless, and iowa can do better than turek

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

We already had these rights, Mike. Stop acting like we just showed up yesterday. Trans people fighting for LGBTQ rights in the 60s and 70s as well as standing right beside gay people protesting for all of our rights in the 80s. Yeah, you didn't demand 100%, you told trans people to wait our turn.

It's amazing how many of these folk forget that the Democrats demanded gays and lesbians accept "civil unions" as a compromise, "do you really need to call it 'marriage' if it's has all of the same rights?" and the LGBTQ+ community, all of us, refused to accept that.

The insinuation that trans people are privileged because both major parties hate them is....a take

Josh Turek made the calculation that he doesn't need the votes of trans people or our friends and allies, so I say we see if his calculation is right. But no one in their right mind would ever vote for a candidate that would take away their daily medication. You shouldn't expect it of trans people.

i will say it until my lungs run empty 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦

Trans people are fighting to keep rights they had ten years ago—in 2016. It is not the same as fighting for rights in the first instance. So please I beg of you, knock it off with this “purity test” horseshit.

"I'm not asking you to give up anything" Asking trans people to pull the lever for people who explicitly campaign on taking away access to life-saving medication and full participation in society is EXACTLY asking us to give up things! Gods, I'm so tired of this bullshit.

Amy fucking Acton LITERALLY refused to meet with trans Ohioans about her transphobic ads a couple of months ago, and members of the progress caucus resigned because of it. Stop telling me these people are interested in "working with us"
