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

I am, contrary to conservative fantasies, living a very uncomplicated lesbian life. I would like to continue doing that without the threat of having my rights revoked by one fascist government or another.

AI is a very useful tool

Blindingly obvious that this is targeted at “degrees we think women get.”

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

how many more times will trans women be targeted and bullied off social media entirely before ppl get the fucking picture

I care about women more than men and I'm not going to apologize for it.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

Insane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks

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

this woman is singlehandedly making her league, its fans, and her fellow players the latest right wing obsession and deserves every one of these boos

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.

So exhausted already by the meme that the "tells" of gen AI writing are when something is structurally aping the way a decent professional writer writes, rather than when it's meaningless word salad. (You will take my em dashes, sets of three, and lack of typos from my cold, dead hands.)

Julia Serano@juliaserano.bsky.social · 3d ago

nothing shouts "I don't read much" more than when you equate em-dashes with AI. as Kat says here: 1) AI uses em-dashes BECAUSE AUTHORS USE THEM & AI IS TRAINED ON OUR WRITINGS! 2) "AI checkers" are complete bunk (just another AI bullshit machine), 3) this is not a "list of three" haha

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

They were also organized. Luigi was armed, successful, and so popular his lawyers are begging people to stop sending him underwear. Yet nothing changed. Arms without organization is the cart before the horse.

abolitionists were armed. The Panthers were armed. You do not need to flatten movement history to make a prudential point and then demonize anyone who criticizes you as a walmart arsonist

AI is robbing you of the opportunity to make this instead

The next time you consider making a flier with AI, please also consider that the most intriguing ad I’ve seen this week is a garage sale sign made of particle board with spray painted writing that reads, “GOOD SHIT —>”

washington dc is short for washington da city

i love when i mention a surgery to a cis person and they talk about how THEY’d love to get that done and im so lucky to have it covered by insurance. it rocks and when it happens im not mentally loading The Gun

am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality? is that allowed?

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️@mady.cat · 6d ago

Sorry i meant to say we need more celebrities to donate $100 million to suicide hotlines so we can call someone who will beg us not to kill ourselves when the state takes away our medication and housing, and then send the cops to our home if we say the wrong series of words. My bad.

In other words, NYT is increasingly becoming a gaming and recipe company, with revenue from that business helping subsidize the higher costs of their journalism (which has been weaponized in favor of trans genocide). They depend on liberals not caring enough to boycott them.

if you're not trans then i really don't know if you can comprehend how much of a *disappointment* literally all of society has proven to be for us just time and again proving that the rest of you will always choose to abdicate your morals over sitting with discomfort for one goddamn second
