It's amazing to see this asshole cynically walk the tightrope between openly adopting transphobic policies and showing contrition for publicly expressing support for those exact same policies & fascist arguments.

The only way they allow it, is if they benefit. It's about power and control, of mind & body. Predators have patterns, spot the pattern.
So I guess sex work is only ok if just tech oligarchs are profiting off it and not marginalized women or minorities who depend on it to survive?

So many prohibitions on stuff like sex work boil down to "we decided that you have to live in poverty at the edge of death and you're not allowed to find a way out of it"

Medical racism is a big reason why Black folks avoid the doctor. There are too many bad experiences with racist doctors & it develops distrust. Most of us have tales of medical racism. Then you get into community knowledge of all the times we were medical test subjects historically.

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.
Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

54 years and counting of avoiding public toilets.
Then add in issues from early intersex surgeries that make it excruciatingly painful and almost impossible to pee.
Meanwhile guess what those in power are NOT banning?
That’s right, early intersex genital surgeries…
