I Had To Fan-Post. So, in MCU continuity, Riri Williams was an MIT student (Course 2/6.3?) in Wakanda Forever (2022) & expelled at the beginning of Ironheart (2025). MJ (Course 7/5?) and Ned (Course 6.3?) attended MIT between No Way Home (2021) and Brand New Day (2026) Do they know each other?

Cis men are not the exact same as trans women, and trans women are not the exact same as cis women. If people want to have discussions about who can play at what level under what conditions, they should do that. But this isn't about sports, it's about pushing anti-trans sentiment broadly.

And he's using a comparison between cis men and cis women to make an argument against trans women. One of the goals of these types of stunts is to get people to broadly accept the idea that cis men and trans women are the exact same. And you can't have a conversation that starts there.

I'd love to book a new client today :) Let me show you THE WAY well, *a* way. My clients have all been thrilled with the service and I'm excited to help you make your work the best it can be.

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

New profile of Anscombe Bioethics Centre, listed in Amnesty UK's retracted anti-rights reports. Another project of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. Did some anti-trans activism starting in late 2010s. Odd inclusion: it closed in 2025. www.transgendermap.com/issues/group...

A new study out of Canada looked at four youth gender clinics. Out of 445 patients only four who started gender affirming hormone therapy ceased taking it, and only one did so due to a re-identification with their birth sex. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

Tip of the hat to mainstream media, who credulously gave us those "Musk is getting out of politics" headlines last year and those "Musk has regrets" headlines last week, and will give us those "regretful Musk is getting out of politics" headlines next spring.

Lots of (trans) folks know about the Nazi's raid on Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in 1933 and the preceding relatively trans positive era in Weimar Berlin. But in the U.S. there was a parallel rise and fall of "The Pansy Craze" peabodyballroom.library.jhu.edu/home/ballroo...

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jul Up to 9% of trans ppl have moved out of hostile states since 2024. and well over half (55%) report talking steps to be less visible. Liberal Currents runs this down as a form of unacknowledged ethnic cleansing. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-american...

If this were occurring abroad, to an ethnic minority, we would call it ethnic cleansing.

"I explored the Underworld so extensively, &... took as my bosom friends prostitutes, "fairies", [criminals]... not because I was morally depraved... [but] solely that I was born bisexual. The Overworld makes of the bisexual a pariah. The Underworld gives the bisexual a hearty welcome." -Jennie June

D candidates going anti-trans should also reconsider from a purely mercenary point of view: many of THE MOST active D volunteers I know are LGBQT+ folks or relatives/friends of trans people who simply WILL NOT volunteer for you if you support anti-trans hate. They'll find other people to help.

Katelyn Burns@katelynburns.com · last wk.

polling shows trans athletes are possibly the lowest salience issue amongst most voter groups and those that want to vote for the most anti-trans candidate aren't persuadable by democrats.

A Finnish psychiatrist holds increasing influence over youth gender care worldwide. At home, the inpatient mental health facility she oversees has been repeatedly cited for excessive restraints, invading patient privacy, and other acts of neglect and mistreatment of (cis) adolescents).

If you are in any way making an effort to fight back against the heightened lack of kindness and empathy we are experiencing, no matter how small, I love you and you are my hero. Kindness fills chasms.

I'm reading a bunch of Marvel back issues and found this wholesome, trans positive page from Matt Fraction, Joe Quinones, Laura Allread, and Clayton Cowles. The image description will be lengthy, so I'll need to spread it over a couple copies w/ alt text

...the "this is gender-affirming care" meme started w/trans ppl pointing out a double standard: procedures readily accepted/approved for cis ppl are denied to trans ppl. but cis ppl have turned it into a way to mock MAGAs' gender anxieties. maybe instead of mocking them, ACTIVELY SUPPORT OUR RIGHTS

1) it's not gender-affirming care when it's being foisted upon ppl w/o their consent. this policy is *invasive* 2) anti-trans GAC legislation is *also invasive* as it's designed to take away control of our own bodies. LET'S CALL IT INVASIVE! LET'S PROMOTE BODILY AUTONOMY RATHER THAN MAKING GAC JOKES

What if I told you one woman, with little accountability, is wearing the name of the United Nations to launder false anti-trans forum posts into global legal fights, including the US Supreme Court? Our reporter S. Baum investigates Reem Alsalem in our collaboration piece with The Nation.

How One Woman Is Using the UN to Attack Trans Rights Worldwide

It’s no coincidence that the Supreme Court’s decision allowing trans sports bans echoes the work of Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls.
