we made a critical error allowing reactionaries to make-up concepts like “biological sex” and frame them as non-ideological when it’s the exact opposite: people who undergo HRT *are literally changing their biological sex.* this is not some philosophical distinction, it is actual biological reality.
Tired: Sex is biological, gender is social.
Wired: Sex and gender are different but related, both are spectrums, both have biological and social components, medical transition is literally a sex change, and transmedicalism is shit because everyone’s own experience of gender is valid.

🥽so, do cis people care enough about child rape to revolt, or do they only pretend to care in order to shame queer people for doing consensual sex with other adults?

Why do you want to pretend like sex and gender are separate, cissexist genital cops?
Could it be that “gender is an opinion, sex is a biological fact” is, in fact, a transphobic position!?
Are trans sexes inferior because they are “socially constructed” and “just people acting on opinions” /s

Major news.
Police Scotland’s newly announced “sex at birth” recording policy represents a deeply regressive and discriminatory shift in policing practice. It raises profound concerns for the dignity, safety and human rights of transgender people across Scotland.

Do you not think it's bizarre to have strangers on the internet decide they know better than Brianna's own loved ones on what is or isn't insulting to her memory?
I've got no time for Rosie Duffield, but she turned up at a drop-in event in Parliament and that's been the limit of her involvement.

As many of you know, a handful of Dem Sens have voted on a CR that keeps the government funded until Jan 30, which would end the shutdown. For those watching for anti-trans provisions, there are none in the CR.

abundantly clear that the six monsters currently running the Supreme Court do not think trans people are real and want them to go away
they know what will happen to someone presenting as the other sex when their passport doesn’t match and they want it to happen
their power must be broken

Honestly one of the worst, most disturbing paragraphs — on the basis of process, substance, and effect — I’ve read in a Supreme Court order or opinion in a very long time.

When centrist Dems talk about “not focusing on transgender issues”, what they mean, practically, is allowing shit like this to stand. The Supreme Court is rolling back decades of policy as it relates to trans people, which will radically impact our lives.

1. In a major shadow docket ruling from the Supreme Court, the court has ruled against trans people's passports, giving a stay to the Trump administration.
The admin has previously indicated it intend to revoke some passports if it got this ruling.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
