Whenever I see people acting like trans men aren't systemically targeted or face systemic oppression I want to shove their faces into articles like this 3 Latino trans men who were detained by ICE forced to do slave labor, and denied PPE because "you want to be a man, I'll treat you like a man"

ICE Warden Put Transgender Detainees into Forced Labor Program: Complaint

A federal complaint accuses the warden of creating an ad hoc work program used to demean trans detainees.

Wow, a new never-seen-before insect species! It perfectly mimics a bunch of stuff I found on the ground. What impressive camouflage! Unfortunately this rare specimen blew away in the breeze. I'm sure scientists will be searching for another one for years to come...

Miscellaneous twigs and plant bits arranged to look like an insect, maybe resembling something between a dragonfly, moth, and owlfly.

Oh my god! Keri Ingle won her state senate seat in Missouri last night. For those who don't know, she was one of the fiercest opponents to trans bans. She unseats the former House Speaker in a senate seat R's have held for decades. She was partly responsible for the MO Ban's sunset clause!

The nearby town just voted in a new Mayor. She's a business owning lesbian that ran on her own party line and fucking WON. Lots of wild stuff happened. Upstate NY has a LOT of old conservatives. This feels like a shift happening

allison montgomery, the trans woman who won in alabama, deployed messaging like this where 1. she directly calls republicans pedophiles and sex pests 2. she directly points out that sex testing kids is pedophilic. compare this to the spineless cis wafflers who face no danger here lol

DeSantis: "Extinction level event for republicans." Perhaps they shouldn't have spent $200M in anti-trans ads. Imagine you're a voter that feels icky about trans people but you cant buy groceries. And you look to your TV to see what your Republican will do... And get those anti-trans ads.

ABDUL EL-SAYED WINS IN MICHIGAN! He FIERCELY defended transgender people in a race where tons of anti-trans ads were spent against him. Centrist Democrats tried to force him out. HE WINS! Defending trans sports and healthcare!

While we celebrate these massive wins remember that liberals are still throwing trans people under the bus across the country. And they're more likely to double down on scapegoating us the more they win these centrist races. You must apply pressure if you believe trans rights are human rights.

I REALLY LOVE how all of my small friends are sharing how HAPPY & SAFE they all feel after BFC! ;u; Having a con end & hearing just a tidal-wave of positive emotions & experiences that played throughout, there could be no better feeling that someone finding their state of comfort and completion! ✨

Folks, if you didn't early vote, you'd best be planning to make sure you do it tomorrow! We have a real chance to reduce the avenues for harm that are available to our fascist president. We MUST make it happen. Nothing changes and shit gets even worse if people stay home and don't vote.

IGNORE EARLY VOTING RESULTS IGNORE THE POLLS We do not have this in the bag! We must ALL VOTE! Hungary ousted Viktor Orban by voting overwhelmingly. We must do the same to oust our own fascist leader, starting with these midterms.
