UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

rewatching NETWORK for a project 👀 and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. it’s like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s

Remember, they hate trans joy, they hate gay joy, they hate Black joy, they hate Native joy, etc. they hate when we can laugh and love and live our lives in our own skin. They hate that we can find our way without their rigid rules. To find joy and thrive is a great act of resistance too.

The contradiction at the heart of transmisogyny has always been that people will insist they don't see us as women while treating us exactly like women, and specifically as women they are entitled to sexually exploit or brutalize.
it's funny fascists think trans women are insecure about whether we are really women, when the world treats us like women
being harassed by the bouncer at the local bar and then saying "maybe I'm lesbian too" after my friend said I'm lesbian is a very degrading experience specific to women

Without exaggeration, the last 50+ years of biological research completely discredits every race science claim. It is the single biggest indicator of being a malicious dullard and a reactionary ideologue. The fact I’ve had to dedicate a single minute of my career to addressing it is absurd
talking a lot about race-science shit, like IQ or “human biodiversity” or how bad affirmative action is, *should* be totally discrediting, a sign of lazy and shallow thinking that undermines anything else someone says
but there’s so much internalized racism among American elites that it’s not

The transgender rights movement did not "bet on SCOTUS."
Transgender people are just people who are trying to live their lives in peace and happiness and the structures of power, including the legal system up to SCOTUS and media up to the NY Times, have chosen to abuse them for their own ends.

It’d be funny, if the effects weren’t so cruel. “Biological sex” means whatever you need it to mean when it comes to controlling other’s bodies. What it ain’t is some immutable construct delivered from on high, as evidenced by every time they pass one of these www.advocate.com/politics/gen...

My column from Monday. The Alabama Department of Corrections has failed in its basic mission. It cannot keep inmates or staff safe, and in the process threatens public safety. It needs to be replaced with a new agency with a zero-tolerance attitude prison violence, wherever it comes from.

Newsletter: I am sick and god damn tired of everybody pretending that generative AI is the next big thing. The media is complicit in accepting fantastical nonsense - both in the numbers put out by OpenAI and the silly jobs created by Anthropic - and it has to stop.

When the US began to strip trans people of rights, revert documentation, move trans women to men's prisons, censor research, and move towards healthcare bans, most cis people posted things like "the government can't tell you who you are!"
They think our biggest issue is validation, not actual harm.

The difference between cis HRT and trans HRT reminds of the difference between getting an elective vasectomy vs. an elective hysterectomy. The former is met with little resistance, offered on informed consent; the latter is a last resort, met with a thousand are-you-sures or refused outright
It's amazing how quick a doc will give you the option of gender-affirming care if you're cis.
