Here we go, we went from "Right click save is an abuse of consent", to "Right click save is rape". If the Internet were invented today, everything would be in a DRM'd walled garden. CURL / Internet Archive / programmability would disappear. "Leftists 🤝 Proprietary social media"

even when trannies are the ones being targeted we’re still constantly expected to put others before us

lmao I was wondering "why are they being so kind and sensitive wrt this UI decision? (Let us know if you preferred the old way)" Turns out, the banner was just added by Microsoft (this is edge) to redirect users to pressure google into putting them back, instead of just reverting them themselves

Imagine if 90% of trans women's activism looked like this. Imagine if the top priority of every TW's space was promoting masculinity; AGAB-adherence; and dismissing HRT. The analogue of this is what's ACTUALLY happening in "transmasc" spaces. 12K likes on the original drawing btw.

If you want Bluesky to take down Twitter, you should want Bluesky to become home for a wider variety of content. That doesn't mean they should allow Nazis on here, of course. But keeping this a safe echo chamber is way less valuable than breaking the hold of the Zuccs and Elons of the world.

hey liberal “trans ally”, if conservative EIGHTY YEAR OLDS understand a trans woman better than you do you a) have lost the plot and b) are not an ally

Truly fascinating account takeover scheme on X, which i've just almost experienced (and backtracked before it was too late). 🧵 1. A mutual (whose account is actually compromised) claims she received spam/scam links from me...

One of the most vicious online dogpiles I've ever got on social media was me saying in 2019 that, while I enthusiastically support M4A, we shouldn't ban private care because Republicans would use it to block trans people from getting gender affirming healthcare

a very bad political problem with single payer (which I support) is that the government will effectively be able to make procedures it doesn’t like illegal

Your counterargument is what? Feminist professors, feminist organizations, feminist supreme court justices, and the most popular feminist authors are Not Real Feminists, and smugly ineffectual internet guys are the True Feminists? Give me a fucking break. That means you don't represent the movement.

The idea of “harmful speech” is nothing more than a pretext to government censorship. They started, of course, with pornography, then quickly moved into political dissent. Now they’re casting entire platforms and formats as dangerous — as if ideas were weapons or drugs.

ACLU@aclu.org · last mo.

NEW: We filed a brief supporting a challenge to a Colorado law that would require social media platforms to display the state’s view that speech on social media is harmful. The government cannot decide that speech is harmful and force the rest of us to play along.

“we” have focused so much on who is and isn’t valid in the past ten+ years to the detriment of actual trans politics based on—dare i say—material conditions. healthcare needs to come first, not reassuring non transitioning trans people that they’re valid or whatever

Oh we're doing trans hatered erasure by making it about how it will effect a more protected demographic? It must be a day ending in Y.

There are so many more cis women that people will think are “suspicious” than there are trans women to target it’s inevitable that it will be mostly cue women that suffer.

Maybe I’m a bitter tranny today but miss me with this shit today of all days. This is an attack focused on us to dehumanize us and set further ground in establishing us as second class citizens, I don’t give a shit about cis women today in this issue, they’ll be fine.

Exactly. "Body positivity" is constantly used to vilify transition and HRT/FFS (& more generally, femininity) The extended woke-queer community would love the idea of a "transfem" community that is entirely composed of masculine bearded men ✨but with pronouns✨ (the only thing that matters to them)

If dipshit theyfabs were a psyop to discredit the whole idea of nonbinary gender they would behave no differently.

All of this why cis women who actually enjoy being women, and don’t see trans women as a threat are consistently greater allies towards trans women than pretty much every TME trans person.

transfems are in a fucking torture chamber where they are forced to defer to every marginalized group before they advocate for themselves but these shitstains never have to give us anything. maybe we keep making comparisons to racism because you hold a blatant double standard.

A lot of people seem to think trans HRT is a glorified placebo or just "affirming" or something and not that every sexual secondary characteristic is modulated by hormones Everything outside of reproductive organs we think of as "male" or "female" is hormonally induced

It remains absolutely fucking mindboggling to me how many people will happily and cheerfully advocate for government suppression of speech as long as someone, somewhere, can convince them it will even mildly inconvenience someone they don't like among all the collateral damage

To me gender abolition is just transphobia with a woke coat of paint. It's a lot of people whose obsession with wanting to be "Gender fucky" and different being mad at trans women for wanting to be comfortable in our own skin. It's repackaged misogyny and so-called progressives keep falling for it.

Besides all the other shit, gender abolitionism is just so fucking shallow like “you’ll be able to express yourself however you want when we abolish gender” but ok this isn’t just clothes and “expression” for me it’s something deeper that you can’t understand

Transmedicalism still means “gatekeeping people from trans healthcare if they don’t conform to hyper specific gender norms/jump through hoops” but now it’s mostly used to refer to “trans person talking about how you should try HRT” or “trans woman talking about transmisogyny”

The GOP says you’re valid theneedlenews.com/2026/05/fede...

controversial opinion but I think random trans women should be allowed to have slightly problematic beliefs on the internet without being harassed and dogpiled off the internet

I wonder how many trans women are gender abolitionists because they think that’s what cis women want

gender abolitionism is mostly just misogyny full offense

I haven’t come to the conclusions I have about integration/assimilation because I want to “appease right-wing cis people” it’s because I want to just be a girl and I’m sick of people trying to conscript me into their gender revolution that I want no part it where the end goal is to not be a girl

Someone on shitter literally openly said that “transitioning is about deconstructing gender” what a fucking joke

TERFs have always made space for trans people who are willing to throw trans women to the wolves, and right now we can see this playing out again where they're trying to psyop TME trans people into a framework that permanently associates them with an immutable concept of sex.

My favourite part of being a trans woman is seeing people scold trans women for noticing patterns in how people who are not trans women depict trans women.
