if there’s anything i know at this point in my life it’s that it is a gift to have trans people in your life, and it is a privilege many many cis people do not fucking deserve

JK Rowling directly and personally funded the anti-trans plaintiffs in the recent uk Supreme Court ruling. Those funds, in no small part, came from the royalties from the first game.

It’s never been clearer that supporting this franchise comes at the cost of trans lives and rights.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

You know, I never felt like anyone, I was a paradoxal lie

I didn't think that I was special, but I was too afraid to die

Like the others from my high school, all those sad suburban ghosts

1. Today at the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett emerged as a potential wild card, with at least one attorney in other LGBTQ+ cases expressing her questioning was curious.

In particular, she seemed surprised to learn about the history of anti-crossdressing laws.

1. It was never about sports.

Some have argued that Democrats should give up on trans people in sports.

As a leading transgender journalist covering the issue for years, I can say that this is a strategy doomed to fail.

Here's why.

For those looking for a good blocklist, this seems to be the definitive TERF blocklist out there.

If anyone has any other good blocklists for anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ hate accounts, share them here as well.

Alright. I did it.

I'm leaving twitter and bringing my journalism here.

It's a major step - I got my start on that platform, but I can no longer support it.

Noticing a substantial increase in right wing trolls on the platform. I’m glad the platform is growing and is definitely better than Twitter, but if it doesn’t get control of the hate content, it will be no better.

1. Ohio has become the first state in the aftermath of the election to pass an anti-trans law on the first day of a lame duck session.

It is a transgender bathroom ban that even applies to adults in private universities.
