daughter of a dyke, friend to the queers, trans like nobody's business

I hope the inhumans who caused Eden's death know how many people will not tolerate what they did, I hope they spend every day from the moment they wake up looking over their shoulder in abject fear and knowing there's a good reason they do. Justice for Eden Knight 🔆 www.bbc.com/news/article...

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

More evidence of the hateful fraud driving the Cass report and the broader anti-trans bigotry movement Will the nyt cover this new research? Ofc not bc it does not comport with its political views Note Olson-Kennedy, the lead author. The nyt labored mightily last fall to misrepresent her work

Not so much a nail in the coffin but a stake through the heart of the Cass Review. Olson-Kennedy et al (2025) Emotional Health of Transgender Youth 24 Months After Initiating Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy. Journal of adolescent health. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The results of this analysis demonstrate that over 2 years of GAH treatment for gender dysphoria, participants experienced significant improvement across multiple dimensions of emotional health as measured by NIHTB-EB, a standardized instrument that we extended for use and measurement among TNB youth. Furthermore, we found that those who started with lower AC had a faster rate of improvement in psychological well-being, social satisfaction, and faster decline in negative affect over time. These improvements provide further data that support the potential benefits of the use of exogenous hormones for phenotypic transition. Future research should examine how these associations continue, change or persist in longer follow-up periods. Additional studies should further explore the effects of GAC treatments on the lives of TNB with a specific focus on emotional health and functioning.

We will never have free speech OR safety for marginalized people on platforms owned and controlled by billionaires & monopolists. My cranky ass opinion is we should spend less time worrying about what Zuck says and more time building a movement to dismantle Big Tech & build the Internet we need

It’s not just that transition won’t solve all your problems or answer all your questions, it’s that nothing will. We’re each a lifetime of work and it’s when you stop trying and stop looking, when you put that responsibility on one change or point of joy, that you’re bound to lose yourself.

Trans journalists, particularly ones writing about trans issues, have been pushed out of the industry. It's why I started Assigned Media, and why I'm determined to grow and increase our capabilities. A 🧵 about the "quiet purge" of trans voices, what to expect, and what I intend to do about it.
