the “who goes Nazi” metric that has not failed me yet in the 21st century is: were they obsessive assholes to sex workers and/or trans women like ten years ago? yesterday?

Trump's promised executive order against "gender ideology" is ugly and dangerous, and also, like everything with Trump, contains few specifics and is meant to terrify people into self-repression. Here's my attempt to refocus on the fight ahead:

Trump’s Assault on Trans Rights Has Begun. Here’s What to Watch For.

An early executive order shows the White House wants to get into the business of defining sex and gender. That could play out in a few ways.

This is in the same vein of what a lot of sex worker rights activists have been talking about while touching down on the question of formally anonymizing versus full deletion of content. Sex workers are early adopters who drive significant traffic to emerging sites then get uniformly booted later.

We are the labor, the producers, of the internet's social platforms. Our only value to them is what they can monitize and the minute we are too controversial for advertisers those platform will remove us. They will complete the digestion of our identities and spit us back out as generic 'content'

if you are in Las Vegas some photos of my photography project Archivo Puta is being exhibited here with more amazing sex workers colleagues and their art and much more ❤️📸✨

“…No wonder feminist work is often about timing: sometimes we are too fragile to do this work; we cannot risk being shattered because we are not ready to put ourselves back together again.
