The time to push candidates toward more progressive policies is NOT after they get in office. It’s before. We have to look out for everybody. That may include a type of person that is not in your life!

Florida was as safe when I started transitioning in September 2020 but within 9 months it was the worst, tied with Texas. This isn't about fighting for more trans rights, it's about fighting for rights we had for YEARS that were such a non-issue Cis people don't know we had them.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

everyone talks about the gen z stare but no one mentions how you can politely greet a boomer and ask them questions and address them directly whilst looking in their eyes and they will literally ignore you as if you are not in the room

the trans community’s demand is eminently reasonable: “democrats need to treat trans people as equal partners in their political coalition or trans people will not be partners at all.” so, democrats: do you want to win or not?

The vitriol directed at me and other members of the trans community for having the audacity to declare our votes are not to be taken for granted. By cisgender people who otherwise have called themselves allies. I wish it weren’t so utterly predictable.

Devastating reporting. "The common factor is that constraints on targeting were minimised in the interests of an open-ended mission. Since the start of the war in 2023, no Israeli soldier has been convicted of wrongful death or war crimes in Gaza operations." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...
