Weird threat to make since Hakeem already went after @jabaribrisport.bsky.social and I. How’d that go for him, again?

Who would have expected that the only pushback conservatives would receive against trying to genocide trans people... would come from Qanon???

xAI has disabled Grok, deleted a slew of its antisemitic and neo-Nazi posts, posted a statement, and are evidently rolling back the prompt that made it identify as "MechaHitler," but this new low for Elon Musk's chatbot will live in internet infamy:

Stop referring to people as "gender critical" or "GC", and call them what they are - "anti-trans". It's shorter, clearer, and more accurate.

1. California has rejected the Trump administration's demand to fully ban trans athletes from sports.

This comes after the state floundered on trans sports, including a more limited ban/segregation policy on competition for the same medals recently instituted.

A Virginia law stating that "identifiable reproductive info can't be obtained or disclosed without consent" has led to Walmart telling consumers that searching, viewing, & purchasing items like condoms & period products is giving consent to Walmart to collect, & potentially sell, that info.

Today has been a day. and it's only noon.

Appointment with my GP. my psychiatrist just told her about my dysphoria. and she just kind of ignored it...

My other psychiatrist wants to reduce my mental health meds. Which is scary.

the people with hard drives full of photos of random trans people, and male sex offenders who they falsely claim are trans, and gender affirming surgery scars, and post all day long about how trans people must be destroyed want you to know they harbor no animus towards trans people
OF COURSE the bigots at Sex Matters have their own version of a style guide, and it's just as fucked up as you'd think. It's a PDF and I'm linking it for your research purposes, so click at your own judgement
