New from me: LinkedIn quietly removed references to deadnaming and misgendering from its hateful content policy this week. The company says it's underlying rules have not changed but advocates say it's part of a trend to loosen rules meant to protect vulnerable users.

When I called the police because I thought my ex was going to kill me, I was the one put in the squad car to make my report. This is while the male officer talked to my now ex & said “don’t hit her, just divorce her.”
I'm boosting this again, since:
1. I'm nervous, so hah.
2. I want to make sure that Irvine City Council doesn't try and bury this and file for dismissal.
I'm not the only one who has been impacted by this; far from it. The application of this penal code HAS to change.

Okay, all: an update on this.
We're filing suit against the City of Irvine on Wednesday for what happened to me.

Fun that Wall Street thinks is an intentional shock to global trade, plus massive tax cuts for the rich that will skyrocket the cost of borrowing, and the largest theft of the poor in history, can only work out well.
This accurately describes the process of threat and retreat - but the retreats are partial, leaving US tariffs far higher than a nuisance level

So many ppl don't get this. They think that trans ppl have never done anything for them, but
1) only in the sense that people in Jasper, Wyoming have never done anything for me, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have rights,
and
2) It is the ones with the least to lose that fight the hardest.

The trans community is fighting for your rights as well as our own. We're fighting for the rights of free-association, autonomy, and self-determination. But we're just 1 percent of the population, so you might want to join us in that sooner rather than later.
