Like clockwork: as soon as celebrities start denouncing trans people, they’re found on the Epstein list. Gladwell, Musk, and Trump also come to mind. Funny how powerful people who deny trans bodily autonomy consistently hang out with child traffickers (it’s not funny).

🧵 When was the first queer riot in the US? Historian Denny Nevins argues it was in the Los Guilucos School for Girls in 1953. On March 19th, dozens rioted against the juvenile detention home. Over 1/3 of the girls, aged 11-17, were queer. Many were there *because* they were queer.

If Democrats were actually on our side, they would be fighting to *expand* SNAP right now, not "compromise" with it.

“They’re turning the rats transgender!” Yes, and we have been for nearly a century! The UK paid researchers over $1 million (in today’s value) to produce hormones on a mass scale. These experiments helped trans people, including minors, obtain safe & effective hormones in the 1930s.

Police have been using the Sniffies app to entrap queer men, bringing back Stonewall-era tactics for mass arrests at cruising sites and bars. They also turned in 20 migrants during the entrapment operation, many of whom could be sent to their deaths in their home countries.

Curious what top surgery looked like in the 1930s? Surprisingly similar to today.
I found this photo in medical archives holding the English edition of the Plastic Surgery Atlas, v. 3. It shows an intersex man who underwent a double mastectomy nearly a century ago.

If you or your loved ones are in NYC, don't forget to vote for Zohran Mamdani on the Working Families Party line today! This helps their progressive platform gain traction, and all votes go toward the next mayor.

Anyone can order twice their regular dose of hormones and give the rest out to people in need. It's a fun (alleged) activity for trans events. And you definitely shouldn’t search the DIY HRT site to learn how to obtain and use hormones in states/regions where they’re banned 😉

In zoology, there's a concept called "carcinization," which describes the evolutionary tendency for animals to develop crab-like bodies over time.

When cis men can become pregnant, which will likely become possible in the next few decades, do you think they will take up carrying babies on a large scale?

This is a real DHS statement from earlier this month. Their officials need to read more Arendt (although perhaps that would get them to quit ICE in the first place).

Republicans just removed Miami Beach's famous pride crosswalks. They could have painted them, but instead used bulldozers to destroy the bricks. Pride crosswalks are a tiny, symbolic gesture. But they are still important symbols of the political climate.

Attempts to convert trans women with testosterone and trans men with estrogen supplements go back to at least the mid-1910s! It never worked and never will work.
If this were a 'genuine question,' Lauren could have spent 10 seconds to see that they already tried this and failed.

Weird how all the British anti-trans activists end up also being horrible racists. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they use the same arguments for trans people and migrants (predatory, violent, replacing "worthy" citizens, etc). /s
