Would be a shame if someone posted an unprotected link to watch my Quantum Leap episode about trans kids in sports.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.
Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

I want a currency that’s only available for exchange between transsexuals. I want to spend all my money at businesses owned by people with surgically transfigured sex organs. I want to be paid by and invest in an economy so exclusive you have to sever an erogenous piece of your flesh to participate.

If you’re a leftist commie antifascist SJW who still likes to pull a tarot card, consult the stars, and put faith in indigenous wisdom teachings, go ahead and give me a follow! 👋🏻

Hot take. Gay marriage is an LGB issue and they didn’t come for it because keeping y’all posting “Love Wins” lets them keep targeting the T.

I’m not a single issue voter, but there is nothing more important than healthcare. You can live through canceled flights, you can live through food bank lines. You will die if you can’t afford medical treatment.

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before.
They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job.

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Very exited to enter the post-boogeytran era 🤞🏻✌🏻
The transphobic messaging completely failed to help Republicans tonight. The anti-trans propaganda was a losing strategy which the GOP pushed all their chips in on, and it failed miserably. They lost every major race tonight.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

The GOP vile anti-trans campaign failed miserably. Earle-Sears made it her dominant issue - and lost hugely
Should be duly noted by the punditry (but don't count on that)

The last great bastion of credible journalism has fallen. Who could have predicted that @teenvogue.com would arise as a leading voice of critique, education, and resistance? And as quickly as it came, it’s gone.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Does anyone else pause shows or movies when a queer character is introduced and immediately start internet sleuthing to find out if the actor is queer irl? It can be make or break for me.

I miss my friends in NYC terribly. I miss the Broadway community and the indie musical theatre scene, my Trans baddies and even the trains. But nothing makes me miss NY harder than wishing I could cast my vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! At least in Cali we have #yeson50🙏🏻🙌🏻

If you call yourself a Christian there is some level of expectation that you should at least be *familiar* with the main teachings of Christ. I don’t think the blame here falls squarely on rich men. Self-proclaimed Christians have historically been capable of hatred and ignorance all on their own.
The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Remarkable how little effect trans people have on the actual lives of those who are trying to eradicate us.

At this point I think it’s fair to say that most of the criticisms being lobbed at Mamdani are not out of genuine anger or surprise at any new revelations about him but are rather a transparently bad faith smear campaign to punish him for being a successful politician while Muslim

Transitions never end. I came out in 2020 and started my medical transition in 2013. I jumped in püssy first and am just getting my trachea shave today! Everyone follows their own process at their own time. It’s not a race, it’s a dance. Enjoy it! 💃🏼
