“For any man who wishes to challenge traditional notions of masculinity or expresses support for women, there’s a chorus of voices ready to label him a “cuck” or a “simp.”

Transgender people experience disproportionately high rates of domestic violence and homicide. When fleeing abuse, shelters are often their only safe option. By excluding trans survivors, SB 8 forces them to make an impossible choice: remain with an abuser or face homelessness #txlege

Every survivor deserves the right to safety. Every survivor deserves access to shelter, free from discrimination. By denying these basic protections to trans folks, SB 8 endangers lives, contradicts federal law, and risks essential funding that supports countless Texans in crisis. #txlege

SB 8 will be heard tomorrow in House State of Affairs.
SB 8 prohibits trans people from accessing essential facilities including in family violence shelters, placing them in even greater danger.

Representative Collier reminds us that fighting for democracy is more than voting, it is standing up to power structures that seek relatirory measures for engaging in freedom and constitutionally protected rights. #txlege

Texas Dems who broke quorom were forced to sign permission to be release into DPS custody after the 2nd special session adjourned. This is a retalitory move to punsish those who exercised their constitutional right. Reperesentative Collier's resistance is justified. #txlege

The Trump administration is set to open the largest immigration detention camp in the country, at the Fort Bliss military base in El Paso, Texas.
Using military resources to detain immigrants harkens back to the darkest chapters of American history, and does nothing to make us safer.

Toxic Masculinity isn't an Attack - It's a Call to Accountability

If we’re constantly sidestepping the issue to avoid making men uncomfortable, we’re doing the exact thing patriarchy conditions us to do—protecting male power at the expense of justice. #masculinity

Gender policing traps men in rigid roles, it oppresses women, and greatly harms trans & gender expansive people. It serves no one in that it stifles autonomy & human freedom. #gender

Congressman Moran & Representative Alders both echoed the sentiment that House Dems "abandoned" their voter base. If I were betting, I'd wager neither one of them spoke directly to any democratic constituents to understand their view. #txlege

Patriarchy shields men from accountability, and this aversion to acknowledging what toxic masculinity is (aspects of masculine socialization that are harfmul to others and men themselves) is, IMO, another way to tip-toe around the problem. #masculinity

Calling attention to toxic masculinity isn't synonmous with saying masculinity is toxic, and I think it is important that we recognize and honor this. 'Cause if not, IMO, it is similar to a "not all men" argument which seeks to divert the attention elsewhere. #masculinity
