I love when they make up concepts like “straightphobia” or “sciencephobia” when all I have is an aversion to moronic bigotry. But you do you honeybun

I don’t play the fake respectability BS. You’re just not a good person, no matter how you want to spew your bigotry.
We told you so? For years and years, we’ve told you repeatedly that going after Trans people, and more often trans women, in sports would ultimately lead to the destruction of ALL women’s sports. They are moving to now try to strip equal protections for women and girls.

This is my personal experience. Don’t take this as anything universal. There are as many experiences as there are Trans people. But I’ve just come to a point where even trying to remember what was before is difficult. I’ve always just been me, Alice, the woman you see and know here.
And even with screenings for levels, every body is different. Someone could be in the average levels, yet for their particular body, that could be too high and still cause those issues.
I made this yesterday to respond to some rando disrespecting Elliot Page. Feel free to use it when encountering bigots in the wild
Appeasement never has and never will work. Adopting the language of those who want to erase us only serves those trying to eradicate us.
And this includes friends, family, partners, coworkers, and politicians btw.
Trans Wonder Woman is such a badass inclusion and wonderful representation. While this specific instance is Nia Nal in Dream Girls # 1 (which has an explanation that I won’t spoil), I really wish we could have a mainline Wonder Woman series where she is Trans. And not just a special issue.
Good! I don’t have much faith in this broken-by-design system, but at least for now hopefully trans women can be a little safer. Instead of being put in harm’s way (see V coding) by this genocidal government.

According to Wyoming, we don’t even have the right to defend ourselves… She was attacked and injured. All she did was take out her gun with the safety on and the man who assaulted her backed away. Yet SHE faces two felony charges? Not the people who committed an actual crime against her
Do Trans People Have “Stand Your Ground” Rights? Wyoming’s Answer May Be “No.”
Albany County Circuit Court Judge Robert Sanford agreed with the prosecutor that there was probable cause that Kelver committed assault.

It’s Pride month, so I’ll be taking a note from Stormé DeLarverié, Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, and all those who instrumental during the Stonewall Riots and fought for Queer liberation unapologetically. We don’t tolerate “ugliness”, as Stormé would say, against any of our people. 🧵
Barely two weeks after the the EU parliament voted in favour of a ban on conversion “therapy” (aka torture for Queer people), the EU commission decided to simply “urge” countries to outlaw it instead of banning it.
EU says countries, not Brussels, should ban LGBTQ+ conversion therapy
More than 1 million people signed a petition to ban the practice in Europe.

Couldn’t even wait a few minutes to try to blame Trans people or Muslims… Even though we already know it’s some guy from California according to their own side. Absolute monsters. The whole lot of them.
Y’all, your voices were heard. Though to me, this won’t be enough to repair the damage yet, we’ll need to see concrete actions otherwise it’s meaningless. No one praises the bigot JK (the Andrew Tate of rich white women) without knowing exactly what they’re doing.
Kezia Dugdale apologises for JK Rowling praise and insists Stonewall backs trans rights
The controversy came after Dugdale was asked about Rowling during an interview with the Guardian following news of her appointment.

This might be the end of @stonewalluk.bsky.social as any sort of effective 2SLGBTQIA+ nonprofit. When the new chair is so openly hostile to Trans people and willing to give praise to someone who hates Queer people in general and engaged in holocaust denialism.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers
Shame on this government. Cutting funding for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and girls, Two-Spirit and gender diverse people is irresponsible and vile. Funding these organizations is the least this country should be doing given our history and the current treatment of Indigenous Peoples.

@pinknews.bsky.social is publishing propaganda to sanitize the image of a raging transphobe who’s harmed trans youth across the UK. Wes Streeting and this Labour government have been incredibly detrimental to trans people. They’ve banned crucial aspects of care for trans youth 🧵
This is infuriating. First Nations have finally been able to gain back some land in BC after landmark rulings in the province, citing DRIPA. And despite the fact that this mostly means that land goes from being owned by the crown to being under Indigenous control, non-stop fear mongering led to this

I am begging people to stop acting like we have to compromise or right wingers will enact fascism. THEY WILL ENACT THE FASCISM ANYWAY. The conservative justices on SCOTUS are going to rule against trans rights no matter what principle Kagan and Sotomayor try to follow. So why join them?
It’s Trans Day of Visibility. Unfortunately, the corrupt SCOTUS decided it should be allowed to torture Queer kids. UN experts have also deemed it to be torture. The Justices pretended this “violated” free speech. Apparently torture is “freedom of speech” in the backwards states of America
