There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.
Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

progesterone is part of the hormone set of cis women and it probably should be part of yours, too. demand it from your provider. low P levels in cis women can lead to mood issues, anxiety, and depression! sound familiar? you're basically in menopause.

not having prog for a week has reconfirmed me in my belief that every trans woman should at least try it and the way it is withheld from standard care is genuinely malicious negligence on the behalf of healthcare providers

It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.

We didn't make everything about us. They did. Compare the Advocate, the oldest and largest LGBTQ newspaper in the US, to Fox and the NYT. Both have been publishing more about us than our own newspapers for 3+ years.

📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

When people tell you who you are… believe them.
ICE agents are more likely to have a criminal background than the immigrants they’re arresting.
When you give angry, racist, misogynistic men guns and permission to hide their faces… they will abuse that power.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
