Liberals, leftists, etc in Florida did better than the similar people in Washington. They went hard against insane odds and barely lost. We as a state voted for "All high school girls must be victimized to play sports because trans people exist". WA is worse than FL in that respect.

Love seeing that fuckass Bugs Bunny FL gif several times tonight, as if we didn't TRY. Better not see people wish harm on FL, as if there weren't a bunch of us queer and minority folks stuck here, unable to go anywhere else.

ALL 790,000 girls in the state will be forced to undergo humiliating and intrusive genital inspections in Washington to ban between 5 and 10 trans girls from participating in sports. This will result in many, many more cis girls self-excluding from sport than the tiny number of trans girls.

You do not need a better illustration that transphobia is just misogyny and patriarchy in disguise. Initially this is about attacking sports and athletics for women and girls, and through that denying women other rights, freedoms and bodily autonomy.

Patrick Stewart's passing feels a whole hell of a lot like Dolly's. It's hard to imagine that singular talents found in people born in the working class or working poor will get fostered the ways theirs were. The things that nurtured those talents have been stripped for profit by assholes.

When we allow the inheritors of the British feminist tradition that gleefully signed up with the British Union of Fascists call their conservatism "feminism", we further the epistemic destruction of feminism as a discipline and movement for the liberation of women.

after a decade of waffling we’ve finally conducted a survey of 1,000 adults to reach a conclusion we could have drawn by listening to 1 trans woman

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Me and Erin got so much shit for calling Dems like Turek out when it was only sports with everyone saying "are you going to vote for the Republican?" But we've seen this for years, it never stops at sports! Turek deserves to lose. We will not vote for someone who will take away our healthcare.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2w ago

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

I'm a trans, University of Iowa alum and lemme just say: Fuck Turek.

"Trans people are a tiny group with no power" This isn't true, and I hope my trans readers can internalize this. You are more powerful than you think. Trans and gender expansive people are 2.34% of the US population in the latest survey. That is more than enough to swing a race.

25.6 million LGBTQ+ adults in US; transgender population twice prior estimates: Study

12.54% of Texas adults are LGBTQ+, according to the Human Rights Campaign.

If you have a rabies vaccine skeptic in your life, you should sit them down and show them videos of rabid animals. Start with wildlife and end with humans dying of rabies. Do it every day until they get a restraining order or vaccinate their pets

“Veterinarians and public health officials have also grown alarmed about an apparent increase in vaccine skepticism among pet owners. Last month, Alabama’s Department of Public Health warned about an increase in rabies cases in domestic animals.”

horseshoe theory isn't real. you just followed a bunch of racist leftists who reached their inevitable conclusion.

The most horrifying part about this to me is that there's ways to do paperwork to prevent this, but poor people are not taught about it, we are not informed that we need to do this, rich people know all the paperwork secrets and they intentionally keep poor people from them
