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.

Heritage Foundation now targeting women's sports after SCOTUS' anti-trans sports ruling - LGBTQ Nation

Project 2025's architects say that Title IX and women's sports harm men's sports and "feminine graces."

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.

Screenshot of my own post that says: For a long time, I used to say that in transition, I was the same person, just with a different coat of paint.

However, I fundamentally feel and live differently than I was. Yes, my past trauma and experiences colour who I am today. But I do genuinely see my pre-transition self and cannot, for the life of me, recognize that person.
Nor do I remember much of it.
The longer time passes, the less I recognize the person in old photos and handful of memories.

Today, I’m simply Alice.

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.

Screenshot of my own post saying: Hey so, Pete Hegseth wanting to give Testosterone shots (which is gender affirming care in some way) to US troops while simultaneously banning Trans people… it’s peak hypocrisy.
And the point was always cruelty and segregation.

But what do I know. Oh wait, I do know that too much T in your body actually gets converted into estradiol (estrogen) which will then cause low fertility & libido, and breasts growth (gynecomastia) for men.

So yeah, they’ll grow a pair, just not the ones Pete expected.

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.

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. 🧵

Hey there’s a story about Canada fast-tracking citizenship for trans americans going around based on this article, but understand that the fast-tracking only applies to those with Canadian ancestry who submit an explanation letter and all supporting documents.

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.

Laura Loomer tweet trying to blame trans people, Democrats, Groypers or Muslim or Iranian people.

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.

New LGBTQ+ nonprofit director gushes over transphobic author: "I have a huge respect for JK Rowling" - LGBTQ Nation

It could be a sign that the organization will pull away from trans rights advocacy.

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.

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

B.C. faces ‘complete opposition’ after telling First Nations of plan to suspend DRIPA

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

Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban on ‘conversion therapy’ for LGBTQ+ kids

The Supreme Court has ruled against a law banning “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ+ kids in Colorado, one of about two dozen states that banned the discredited practice.
