I think when it's all told, self-hatred is probably the biggest thing fueling any fascist movement, past, present, future.

As a therapist, I've spent so much of my life witnessing firsthand what unchecked self-hatred does to the psyche. It's not pretty.
If having a trans partner is supposedly radicalizing people into leftists, why are a huge portion of DC Republicans having sex with trans women?

They demonize trans people on socials, podcasts, and the floor of the House by day then proceed to solicit sex with them at night.
The Democrats never seem to understand that when they have power they need to completely use it to fend off the right wing authoritarian element that continually seeks to control this country.

They're too busy blaming trans people for everything.

I donate to this project monthly. If you are in a position to do so, please monetarily support trans lives.
Louisiana’s Medicaid program stopped covering trans care. So Trans Income Project stepped in to become the defacto “payer” for that care at one key clinic in the state. Today we hear how and why the project came to be:
In our latest, we speak with the director of Trans Income Project about their work providing material support to trans people in Louisiana and how they’re trying to fill the gaps created by the federal government’s attacks on trans coverage under Medicaid

As someone who's actually spent a lot of time working clinically with the survivors of teenage grooming and sexual assault, I can say that Megyn is an absolute monster for saying this.
Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Let's just name that FIRE is transphobic.

Maybe not in the sense of wishing harm on trans people (also possibly . . .) but at least in the sense of being criminally negligent when it comes to understanding us and our right and needs for safety and dignity.
Here's FIRE bragging about how the court adopted their arguments on how bullies have a constitutional right to bully trans children.

It is beyond irresponsible to give children the ability to make porn of each other, and AI companies should be sued into oblivion and held criminally liable for doing so
A middle school boy created deepfake AI CSAM of his fellow classmate, a 13 year old girl. The girl pleaded with the school but they did nothing and instead put her on a bus with the perpetrator. She ended up hitting him and was expelled but nothing happened to the boy.

Whatever sexual predators are in the Democratic party, they're probably mostly spineless centrists that we should dump anyway
"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Yet another person who loves to say that trans women going to the bathroom is an assault on girls and women
We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA.

Wow, this would be such big news if DNA tests like this actually existed
Exclusive: Adolf Hitler’s DNA has been sequenced by scientists

It has:
- shown he had a disorder which impacted his sexual development
- debunked rumours about his ancestry
- shown a high likelihood that he had a neurodivergent condition and/or bipolar disorder

But of course this rapist has the nerve to act like I'm a danger to women
Damning new emails released by House Dems indicate that Trump "spent hours" with an alleged victim at Epstein's house and he was "the dog that didn't bark."

Seriously, fuck these people.

I'm so tired of being treated like a plague.

Just fuck these people.
1. Going to the Library in Smyrna or Murfreesboro, TN?

You might be greeted by an EMERGENCY CLOSURE sign.

Apparently they have detected the presence of "transgender books" and are quarantining them as if they were a dangerous plague.

These people can't even tell a trans woman from a cis woman, but they're qualified to opine about all aspects of trans women's lives.

To be trans is to have your life so deeply harmed by people who are completely ignorant about you.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

They were never going to stop at trans women.

It's all about hateful people who don't like themselves trying to make others as miserable as they are instead of working on why they aren't happy with their lives.
Women born with vaginas, raised as girls are suddenly not sufficiently womanly enough. They're branded as "men" and humiliated. They are stripped of everything they have worked to achieve and called cheats. It only serves to police womanhood based on the ability to be a breeding vessel.

Just more of the hypocrisy from cis providers on gender-affirming care
One on side, the Trump administration is arguing that hormones are "mutilating" when used by trans people. When used by cis people, they are removing all the warning labels and increasing access.

Funny how that works.

Voters just gave Democrats huge wins because they finally were fighting back a bit, and the first thing they do is to stop fighting and promise to fight later on much less favorable terrain
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Transphobia leads people to make such a mess of things that were going perfectly fine
The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

Maybe it didn't work in 2025 because it didn't work either in 2024, or any year prior, and all the "experts" blaming trans people for the Democrats' failures need to rethink their simplistic conclusions
NEW: Republicans went all in on anti-trans messaging for the 2025 election, inspired by Trump’s “Kamala is for they/them” ad

It didn’t work — and now Republicans are trying to figure out why

Democrats, meanwhile, learned how to respond to this messaging

This is very weird to me, because I only found my voice and began to become a leader *after* I transitioned to female.
I keep seeing these videos by trans guys about how trans women are dominating trans advocacy because of socialisation and honestly it's a discredit to the numerous trans men who are involved daily in pragmatic community rooted activism every day without getting involved in promoting transmisogyny.

If we're all about putting "historical facts" on our passports, then why don't we have our baby photos on them?

People change over the lifespan, and passports stay up-to-date with those changes.

The Court is forcing us to forever be tied to an incorrect sex assignment that they know will harm us.
The Supreme Court’s ruling on Trump’s passport sex markers policy conveys as much casual transphobia as a two-page judicial opinion ever could without actually including slurs. Absolutely vile stuff. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/the-suprem...
