It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight

Fascism's a fever you break with shit like what happened in New York last night. Create more excuses to feel things like that together.

3 Aug 25 - New study shows vast "over-representation of trans boys" turns out to be vast _under-representation_ of trans girls bec. they: a) come out ~10 years later; b) start puberty later; & c) delay transitioning longer because of deep social animus towards AMAB femininity. tinyurl.com/yrwvmxws

can't believe someone made this lmao

One of the most disheartening things about trans advocacy is how little the people who claim to be on our side actually listen to us. "trans-identifying", "biological sex", and a variety of other GC dogwhistles have become common parlance because people listen to our enemies, but not us.

Whole ass nation states are attempting to confine trans people to the home—preventing us from using the toilet, playing sports or accessing medical care without exposure to violence—on the basis that “changing your sex is impossible” so if you’re saying that to trans people too, meet your allies.

Fellow autistic people I know it's hard but please you have to learn how to have a conversation. You have to ask questions and show interest in others instead of just talking about yourself. Believe me, I know it's tough. It took me years of practice and a lot of awkward encounters but you gotta

wondering aloud: are cis journalists, cis outlets, even covering the migration of trans americans occurring out of red states and into safer ones, right now? are you thinking to cover this? are you all even aware this is *happening*?

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

oh fuck turns out I'm starting HRT tomorrow 😬 new doctor put up way fewer hurdles than I expected and just sent off the prescriptions after talking to me for like 20 minutes

This is such a great thing to tell liberals who really disagree with extrajudicial kidnappings by ICE, but "don't agree with the rioters either." A lot of them are obsessed with being pragmatic so if you give them a material good coming from the protests it can change their calculus.

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

No cop cars were being set on violence until cops spent hours shooting and brutally maiming protestors all of today, as well as pummeling them with blunt force violence with batons and chemical weapons with tear gas. This is the community of LA defending itself from police repression.
