I recommend all trans people to carry some sort of weapon on them I personally carry a knife and pepper spray We are not safe in public and it’s only going to get worse so we need to take our safety into our own hands

A trans couple has been brutalized by a mob, and then the trans woman ended up being arrested afterwards, at a public bathroom in Louisiana. EITM writer S Baum investigates this horrible act of violence in our latest piece. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

Wendy Carlos is genuinely one of the most brilliant musicians and her work is so influential

IMHO Respect is earned not given

We should normalize not respecting elders unless they actually did something worth respecting. I have no reason to respect you if you're being a psychotic asshole. Age isn't an excuse.

Days after a WNBA team co-ownwer was suspended for confronting anti-trans activists courtside, Cheryl Reeve of the Minnesota Lynx wore a "Trans Kids Belong" shirt while facing down Sophie Cunningham's team, the Fever. The Lynx won 108-100. Subscribe to support our journalism.

WNBA Coach Cheryl Reeve Wore “Trans Kids Belong” While Beating Sophie Cunningham’s Team

The crowd was equally indignant, reportedly booing whenever Cunningham touched the ball.

if this isn’t enough to convince people that the NYT is a racket idk what is this is literally an oligarch coming out and saying “trust me bro I’m not an oligarch I pinky promise”

“the issue is whether I can be trusted as a steward of CNN” no that was easy, what’s next

Something that sucks about be on dating apps as a trans woman is that it feels like the other trans girls just want a friend and the cis girls make u feel like ur not good enough for them

Sophie Cunningham is getting booed every time she touches the ball here in Minneapolis

TERF just liked me on a dating app but I was told they can “always tell”

I have seen the Odyssey and my main takeaway is that it’s time to give John Leguizamo an award for not only being great but singlehandedly improving EVERY FILM HE IS IN.

I love Chiitan so much

Chiitan🌈ちぃたん☆@chiitan.love · 3d ago

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

the anti-horny brigade will not stop at proper "sex" btw they are out to eliminate sensuality and bodily autonomy on a conceptual level

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

Someone needs to make a YouTube alternative it’s such a dogshit website with horrible moderation and unwatchable amounts of constant ads

No soft fingernail touches allowed, meanwhile Crowder is having the time of his life joking about people being thrown from helicopters

*mouth full of blood* hey guys

Playing Undertale for the first time and I’m enjoying it for the most part, and I think it’s funny but like I don’t see the “masterpiece” of it it’s good but like a solid 7.5/10 I think mechanically it’s interesting but the whole “don’t kill anyone monsters thing” feels more preachy than anything

Can’t pick between these two

Name a videogame that deserves a comeback.

@amnestyuk.bsky.social shame on you for immediately and unconditionally folding to Rowling. Pathetic failure of leadership and of the mission you claim. Human rights only matter if they’re cis humans, I guess. Eat my shit and hair.

Oh look, JK Rowling's chequebook-waving has emboldened the ADF, a Christofascist hate group that has been pouring millions into the UK to fund court cases and lobbying against abortion rights, equal marriage rights, Pride events etc., to go on the attack as well. Top standing up for women, Joanne!

Christian charities challenge Amnesty report labelling them ‘anti-rights’

A letter led by ADF International UK urges the Charity Commission to affirm that charities may engage in public debate without being labelled a threat to human rights

I dream of a world where I can treat cis people the way they treat us, make them second class citizens who are abandoned by every organization or so called ally, even for a day and maybe just maybe it will teach them some fucking empathy

If an organization won’t fight for a targeted minority because of a mediocre children’s author, they don’t deserve your money

Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 5d ago

Amnesty have issued an apology to JK Rowling and the rest. Adjust your expectations, and donations, accordingly www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...

This is really bleak.

cis person: i’m just concerned about women’s sports other cis people: reasonable! trans person: i’m just concerned about restrictions on passports and id, job discrimination, movement being restricted due to bathroom issues, being harassed or worse, etc cis people: you’re being hysterical

nobody says trans people have good faith concerns when we talk about how transphobic policies impact us. we are “pushing an agenda.” total reversal of what’s actually happening

I have lots of opinions of Halo Campaign Evolved, most of them positive -I think the art direction while still not perfect is better than previous efforts, and looks leagues better than the awful anniversary version -no original Xbox controls is baffling -sprinting is weird but kinda welcome
