It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

This is also what transformed the US from a state willing to found and fund programs to aid its citizens to one trying to convince the populace that they should ask for and expect nothing from government.

Land giveaways, grants, etc. Can no longer legally be White Only, so now no one gets anything.
What we are living through is the PEAK of "drained pool politics"

Drained pool politics is the termination or defunding of public resources due to the will of one group, whether they also use the resource or not.

Think the end of public pools nationwide b/c white people refused to integrate

Authoritarianism, especially in service of the ultra-wealthy, has no place here. May those who crown themselves kings rot in their own depravity.

Community is everything.

You’re not in this alone.

Find support, build networks and keep each other motivated.

Collective action is the key to real change.

Also important to note that the estimates that place trans people at 1.3 million are rather old, from the Williams Institute, which did good work at the time mind you.

Latest Gallup poll shows 1.3% of people now identify as trans, which would be over 4 million people!
Still thinking about this quote from a writer at NYT who said she "can't quite say [Trump's attacks on trans people are] exactly consequential, since so few lives are materially affected."

There are an estimated 1.3 million trans adults in the U.S.

That's equal to the population of Dallas, TX.

Using references is not cheating. Period.
Who was the fucker who told beginner artists that references are cheating?

I can’t believe this ever became an issue

REMEMBER KIDS
when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query
Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down.
This poisons the entire data pool and makes it useless

The anti-trans movement always pretends its latest demand, its latest moral panic, is the limits of what they want. Just give in to this one "reasonable concern" and they'll be satisfied, promise. It's a lie, they'll never be happy as long as trans people exist.

Headline: trans girl sets triple jump record

Reality: It's a meet record in division 3. It's not even a sports record or a top division record. It's for a single meet, the kind of record that goes down all the time.

So many such cases of disinformation.

If you are a parent looking for illustrations for a kids book you want to make for your kid, I assure you the crudest looking doodle you draw will be a million times better and more memorable than trying to get chat gpt to make you some soulless pixar-lite slurry

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."
My kid lives in Siddall Hall and sent me these yesterday. First is what was put up by the school, second is the students’ alteration of the administrations’ cowardice.
