Every single Republican and gender critical person, including JK Rowling, supports this happening to you. They brag about building a future in which this type of humilating incident is common.

Minnesota teen says server forced her to prove her gender in restaurant bathroom The 18-year-old high school student alleged the server would not let her exit the Buffalo Wild Wings restroom until she unzipped her hoodie and showed she had breasts. For @nbcnews.com: www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...

I keep criticising the nyt’s leaders bc their unprofessional and unprincipled coverage of trans ppl has directly led discrimination so sweeping that it has in turn given license to the violence we just saw in Louisiana. It nyt’s years-long record of anti-trans bias is despicable. The lowlights 🧵

This is the transphobic hatred that the nyt’s Sulzberger, Kahn, Carolyn Ryan and Patrick Healy legitimized. They knew exactly where there campaign of anti-trans propaganda would lead.

Let's talk about JK Rowling's 'bearded men'... I want to vent something that's been on my mind: The way transphobic groups and individuals are also actively homophobic. I've experienced it first hand, and know many others have too. 1/

There are no trans women in the WNBA. There are no trans women NCAA basketball players. Hell, who knows if there are even any trans girls playing HS basketball.

Did we ever find out if the A is for Asshole?

Well, it appears that, sometime in the last 17 hours, Gwen Pepperoni was suspended for the crime of pointing out Ken Jennings' transphobia.

FIXED UPLOAD! As midterms draw near, we will see more stories like this of rich assholes trying to buy the system to suit their ends. And hurt your kids. My latest: youtu.be/6_FxNULDg5M?...

The nyt hyped a *retracted* study on detransition in a 4500w story in ‘24, and never acknowledged its dishonesty It will ignore this study, just as it has ignored a long line of recent research proving the benefits of GAC. Sulzberger’s nyt is in the business of bias-driven propaganda. Not news

...this is the future that anti-trans activists want. seems like it would be *really easy* for the WNBA to publicly and explicitly state this, rather than capitulating to them bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Imagine being a 12 year-old girl, forced to allow a male sports doctor to "examine" your genitals to determine whether you can play softball. Horrifying.

Yesterday, my cat Onion got outside while a junk hauler was taking a couple of large items. Not items with an opening he could have been in. He had to have darted. He's never been outside. Movers come tomorrow. We leave Monday. I've done all things (will list in a reply). #nolasky sad #caturday

PRIDE reminder that if you've got some coin, toss some into the plate of trans journalists telling trans stories from trans perspectives, because the transphobic corporate media sure as fuck isn't going to do it.

the feds are coming in hard in Minneapolis today it looks like, targeting legal observers. I heard this from a friend there: "An alert was just posted to lock your doors and don’t open them for ICE/officials without a signed warrant. Twin Cities Legal observers’ homes are being raided... [cont'd]

NEW: Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill. “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

He Profits Off Raw Milk That's Making People Sick. The Government Isn't Stopping Him.

With Raw Farm, the largest raw-milk dairy in the country, Mark McAfee has capitalized on a once-fringe product that's been thrust into the mainstream in recent years and backed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Another "study" on trans people is currently recruiting via reddit ads. It's led by two of the most hated men in the community, Kenneth Zucker and J. Michael Bailey. Some of you may not know them, so I made a quick video showing why I don't trust them. Stay safe, friends. youtu.be/IpitYvyjqqs

I don't trust this trans "study". You shouldn't either

The worst anti-trans AG ever was just fired, Pam Bondi. But you just know they’re going to replace her with like Ken Paxton or something.

In 2018, Nicole Maines became the first trans person to play an explicitly transgender superhero on television. Fifty years prior, another trans femme quietly took on a role on the opposite side of the coin. Read this month's Clippings by @piperbomb.bsky.social here!

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks. Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.

I'm so grateful to all who have supported our fundraising efforts for our local trans community. 💙🙏 We still have some trans pride mugs available. You can see them here. Approximately 30% of the proceeds will be donated to our local gender affirming closet. rakupottery.ca/mugs/

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.
