New book out today! It's free/open access!
It was written during the Biden years but it's a very beautiful and TREMENDOUS collection of ideas that demolish Donald Trump's executive order and the UK's court order.

The rights of all women - trans or not - rise and fall together.

My latest piece for @glamouruk.bsky.social outlines how an attack on trans women harms us all.
MP Nadia Whittome: "The attack on trans women harms all women”
The UK's Supreme Court ruling is a dangerous step in a global campaign to divide marginalised groups and roll back hard-won rights, argues the Labour MP.

Just wait until Trump uses the same mechanism he is using to attempt a national trans ban to do the same with a national abortion ban, mifepristone ban, etc.

ID is supposed to allow officials to quickly and easily identify the person presenting ID, and this will make it harder for officials to do so.

Trump is reportedly going to sign a piece of paper later today declaring that the federal government of the United States defines me as a woman.

If there's a better encapsulation of how stupid the whole "define woman" thing is and has always been I'd love to see it.
Let's close with a picture. This is me, full body, no filters, no tricks.

So Montana’s about to start checking people’s gametes when they go to the bathroom, huh? Too bad they opted for that random definition of sex instead of others they could have picked. And now many trans MEN gotta use the women’s room = backfire. Criminalize behavior not people.

I’d love to connect or hear from folks teaching in red state to learn more about strategies and approaches so amplifying this message below.
Can I hear strategies from red state social justice teachers/profs who are anti-racist and LGBTQIA -affirming teachers even when policies in their school/district/state forbid it? I’m a blue state social justice prof working with other social justice profs who want to remain social justice profs.

A fast-growing petition for U.S. cis women to sign.
okay, we're starting with this

Step 1. call your own rep if you haven't already!

Step 2. sign this (cis women only please! cis guys, you can help by boosting)

Step 3. much depends on the success and reach of step 2; lots of options if this blows up

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.

Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.

This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.
