Dear trans people who found out about Judaism’s positing of eight genders,
If you think Judaism sounds like a thing that might work for you, that’s cool, you are welcome to inquire, but Jews have a VERY DIFFERENT perspective on applicants than Christianity.

Zionism and Judaism are not one and the same, but that doesn’t mean the Protocols of the Elders of Zion isn’t antisemitic since it uses the word “Zion” in the name.
Just doing a Jew -> Zionist find-and-replace is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for Judenhaß

Then we'll blame the zionists.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

This is how transphobia's right wing fuckery blew open basic respect in the UK, there is absolutely no reason to expect now that being "women critical" is not also a protected belief, if you truly do not believe that women should just be reproductive slaves for cis men.
This will be used to abuse.

There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

I was so incompetent at expressing masculinity that I got constant derision, shinning, and abuse. And now transphobes act like they lost someone who conformed when I transitioned. Like they lost something.
It’s such an egregious phantasm. It makes them feel good, but it’s based on a lie.

There are a lot of trans and enby and LGBTQ people where I work.
There are not a lot of trans/enby people who are customers where I work. Some of them are LGB, to be fair.
(I live in a major urban area which has plenty of queer and trans people.)

The Supreme Court just temporarily greenlit Trump’s discriminatory passport policy that endangers transgender, non-binary, & intersex individuals.
Earlier this year, I led 67 representatives and senators in demanding the State Department reverse this unlawful policy.
