GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

I keep saying this: if you grew up under an abuser, you know exactly what this is and that no appeasement is possible.
Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts.
There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Nour. Before the war Nour worked in advertising and her husband Mohammed was an optometrist. They have two young children, Julia and Ziad. Both their jobs and homes were destroyed and Ziad suffers from anemia and vitamin deficiencies.

"But how am I supposed to find time for my art when I'm working full time?"
Time theft. You commit time theft. You're already getting screwed by your employers. They're not paying you enough for the time you give them. Do it on the clock. Even if it's just a few words on a scrap of paper.

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."
![The serious concerns over how the Order will detrimentally impact transgender
youth cannot be overstated. One Washingtonian, as her parents describe her, was a bright and
gentle soul who loved playing musical instruments, trying new things, and playing Magic the
Gathering. She was excited to learn Japanese and the impact of gender-affirming care was
immediately clear to her family. Her parents described that “her joy was clear with every new
milestone in her transition. She was so happy to get to the next step, to get closer to presenting
in a way that was true to herself.” But the day before the presidential election, she shared,
“[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.” After the election, she asked her parents if they
could move to Canada because she was fearful of new restrictions on transgender youth and
worried about losing access to gender-affirming care. In January 2025, she took her life. After
the Order issued, her parents expressed that the outlook for transgender futures looks scary and
shared fears of what ending gender-affirming care would have meant for their daughter’s access
to therapy, puberty-delaying medication, hormones, and hope of surgery. Her parents have
expressed fear for the many lives who depend on gender-affirming care and that what happened
to their daughter does not happen to any other children.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlmouohgzbjofidukcp4pxf2/bafkreich7jyv3lnkmd5r234itpdhtvavgblc46ai6d47tb4i7oxgfga2ym@jpeg)

Under heterosexuality the "desire to fuck" and "desire to degrade" are not mutually exclusive or contradictory in the slightest.
That's how patriarchy operates! She who is reduced to the status of sexual commodity is both reviled and consumed.
Transmisogynists wanting to fuck us is unsurprising.

gonna be real i don't think 'right-wingers hate trans women but also want to fuck them' is all that incisive an observation. yeah that's how they feel about cis women too. and implying that attraction to trans women is humiliating or shameful or worthy of mockery is uh not great

When you see these displays in your public library, write a note to the branch manager and director thanking them for supporting queer rights. Speak up at board meetings. I guarantee that library is already getting complaints. Admin/the board will cave to whoever is loudest, even bigots.
While the current administration attempts to eradicate us, remember that the library will continue to be a safe space for Trans and GNC folks. We're not going anywhere 📚

I wince at people calling every single thing a distraction. Even if it is a distraction it’s still
1) a thing that is actually happening
2) a thing that is hurting people
3) a thing that also needs to be fought and illuminated
“It’s just a distraction”feels so dismissive.

Re: "distractions":
Most people I know are capable of paying attention to more than one thing at a time.
You're trying to decide for other people what they should or shouldn't focus on.
One person's distraction may be another person's health or safety.
