I have a new essay coming out next week so stay tuned! since one of the ppl I critique in it is a hardcore "gamete truther", I figured I'd re-up this – discusses both the actual biology & the bonkers anti-trans talking point that's grown out of it (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...
Why Are “Gender Critical” Activists So Fond of Gametes?
plus my new video “Trans People and Biological Sex: What the Science Says”

I gave an introductory talk to SF.gov about MCP: what it is, why you should care about it, and how best to implement it. If you're new to MCP or are looking for a quick intro to share, you might also find it useful, so I recorded it:

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.
Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Great to see the NY Roller Derby team won their case!
Each week, we release the Lavender Ledger, covering stories that crossed our desk that other journalists got to before us. These are the biggest stories this week that you did not see at EITM.
This week's LavLedge covers UK trans wait times, a NY roller derby legal victory, and fake SCOTUS cases.

Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies.
Nice work, @msnbc.com — every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.

It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.
This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.
They can’t win fair, so they cheat.
