Today the UK is putting into practice aggressive restrictions on trans people using toilets and changing rooms. This follows a complex legal/political mess over two years. The UK was among the best countries in Europe on LGBTQ rights; now it's among the worst. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t...

The End of Trans Rights in the UK Is the Start of Democratic Collapse

It's never just one minority.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

My blazing hot centrist take on this is; most things are better than they were 40 years ago but many things are clearly worse than they were 10 years ago". hashtag bothsides...tho I am kinda serious, albeit not super dug in on this.

I find the transphobia labelers to be useful and generally very reliable.

So are people made about labelers now or something? I have been occupied with the first day at my new job so I am a bit out of the loop.

This site needs a primary topic other than Will Stancil.

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

Republicans won’t stop a corrupt tyrant from unnecessarily shaking down American taxpayers, but they *will* stop women from getting necessary healthcare. What amoral jackholes.

it is possible to be an asshole and still on the left to be sure to be sure but if you disavow LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THE IDEOLOGY then you kinda have to ask yourself a question about what actually makes you think you are on the left in any way

if you find yourself saying something along the lines of "i'm a socialist, but i hate trans people, net zero, workers' rights, workers' control of the economy, public healthcare, cash transfers to the poor, and high levels of income tax on the middle class" then you are not a socialist happy to help

New sketch! Winged dark fantasy bronze age trans femme. This started with a retro-game driven mental prompt: "what if I made Pit from Kid Icarus a trans girl". then it became something much stranger. The armor is "dendra panoply equivalent to chain mail bikini".
