a sequel:

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

This 100% and that it's clear that cis-normative society's priority is and always has been ensuring that as many people are and remain cis as possible. If any other medical care had the miniscule regret rate that trans care has it would be a no-brainer. Cis people are just so uncomfy with us ...
Almost all of the surgical interventions in gender affirming care are necessary because a trans person was unable to access non-surgical care in adolescence. That’s why banning care for youth is such a particularly cruel punishment - and so counterproductive if you claim to prioritize safety.

do cis people understand why they're fixated on us like this? it's not just because we're easy targets. there are two answers to the deep seated gender anxiety that exists around the world. one is to jump out of the plane: to leave our chains behind and build a world where it means whatever we want.

Especially when cis people spend like no time thinking about trans issues at all. The number of times I've seen the language of "it's a distraction" boils my blood. Cis people look at me like I'm losing my mind when I pivot political talk to focus on trans issues, but the attacks are getting worse
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

This is good messaging and something I needed to hear today
To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

If this were true, they wouldn't be banning the medical care that does this.

1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.

A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.

It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.

Our latest story here:
Nationwide Trans Youth Care Ban Imminent As Trump Admin Announces "Nuclear Option" Federal Rule
The new federal rule formalizes previous threats to hospitals to pull Medicaid funding, and represents a significant legal stretch by this administration.

Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers

The fact of the matter is that bad actors have exploited cis people's disgust and reticence when it comes to viewing trans existence as just as worth of dignity, respect, and support. So even when we're trying to talk about a blatant attack on our rights, people turn up with conspiracy theories.

abstract support is the best description.

“your trans? oh i support you living your truth!”

“oh, you’re transitioning and taking hormones and your body is changing? well now i am going to be quietly uncomfortable.”

“wdym you need my help because our government is trying to erase your existence?”
There's a kind of "support" cis people will give trans people (and queer people more generally) that amounts to: "It's well and good for you people to be the way you are, but not MY kid. My kid is normal and if my kid ever the idea of being anything but normal, it's YOUR fault."

Abstract support.

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

This whole thread is 100% truth. It is also the exact reason some of us fought so hard against the rise of tournament commander.
It is so incredibly frustrating to me that Arena is testing hyper-competitive Brawl instead of introducing a Gladiator queue.

100 card competitive singleton makes more sense WITHOUT a Commander. The format is good. It's even Ranked-friendly and works for Best of Three.

Lol what, throw a house party. Hell, throw a party with an old timey dress code for all I care, that's cool. How are they so dysfunctional that they can't do this?

Is planning a party too gay or something?

The Renee Richards factoid that keeps poking my brain, is that the guy who outed her as trans, who previously outed Elizabeth Carmichael as trans, was Dick Carlson - Tucker's dad.
I guess transphobia runs in the family.

Starting work on the Monday after a holiday and really bothered by this OU transphobic paper thing. I can't stop thinking about it. It highlights the way that trans people in the workplace are vulnerable to client attacks like this in a way no cis person would ever have to fear...

The anti-trans anti-LGBT side of this is really clear. As a kid who didn't know I was trans when I was in the scouts, I remember being so happy in 2017 when I saw them expand their gender inclusivity. I still hadn't accepted I was trans, but knew something was wrong then...

It's much simpler than that. The Boy Scouts aren't maximally cruel to trans kids and so Republicans believe it should be destroyed.
