My main worry is for the indigenous people of Greenland who deserve independence and not to be pawns in whatever this is

What if we had a word for the specific form of violence, exclusion, and dehumanisation directed at trans women... hmm... makes you think
"It's not transphobic if we allow trans boys to play on boys' teams but ban trans girls from girls' teams" has the same bouquet as "General Motors can't have discriminated against Black women on the basis of race if they hire Black men, or on the basis of sex if they hire white women."

I don’t think fascists are mentally ill, in fact the psychology of the fascist white man is the only one that never gets pathologized because it is -the- normalized form of human behavior.
KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

2/2 Majority of trans people regret the effects on natal puberty this is not seen as medical regret as this is "natural" despite it being preventable. Natal puberty makes permanent changes. People should be able to have whatever puberty they want. Puberty blockers are a compromise and decision tool

This is why there is no contradiction with being 'pro-life' and 'anti-vaccine'.
In both instances it is about underscoring who owns the bodies in question. The state owns the bodies of women; parents own the bodies of their children.

Giving parents the discretion not to vaccinate their kids is one of the strongest ways the state reinforces the parent-child relationship as one of ownership.
Your parents have the ability to decide whether you will die of preventable disease, because you are their property not a person.

To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.

germany allows for no gender marker or an x as gender marker and I made an active choice to not do this because this effectively creates a list of trans people for the government. no gender marker for anyone please.
This was barely covered, but the US regime made it harder for people with "X" on their passports to fly. Creating a de facto no fly list of nonbinary and trans people.
People who use they/them pronouns face documented employment discrimination. Is that material enough for you?

if you're worried about online sexual exploitation, first of all, same! removing children's right to refuse PII to strangers is not the answer.
but also ask yourself whether that problem is made better or worse by making it easier for anyone even slightly web savvy to find a child's name & location

"the entire internet should be structured to automatically dox specifically children at every opportunity" is a bad idea actually

this tendency within contemporary liberalism is intimately connected with its aversion to acknowledging past or present colonialism
Liberals are unwilling to admit that there is a form of politics that exists in the world that centers around causing harm for pleasure, destroying things, and looting the rubble, and they're unwilling to admit that this politics has a stranglehold on the right

Nazis don't have 'legitimate concerns'.
They have a bunch of claims they use to gain legitimacy, and recruit and identify members.

The result is that people now view transition as entirely cosmetic, as optional, as a matter of "free expression" that is perhaps unfortunate to curb but not ultimately life-threatening.
Even when describing the danger to trans lives, it's always in terms of suicides. They think we're hysterical.

Hello sorry it’s been brought to my attention that the phrase “Me Too” was not appreciated by Cuomo supporters. I’m not sure what about “Andrew Cuomo Me Too” is getting them so antagonistic but I did change it so now it’s perfect.

The belief that trans people should be discriminated against because they are inherently predatory, as opposed to the cis strangers that parents allow their children to share a bathroom with, is in fact a crystal clear example of anti-trans bigotry (and mirrors other forms of bigotry, I might add)
Just because folks don't want people who were not born to the sex they want to be to not be allowed into the bathroom of their choice does not mean they are anti- trans. It means they are just not comfortable with you being in their with their precious children as how do they know what your doing.

I've been reading Leslie Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues this week, and through it all one thought has kept coming to me: A few years ago this would have been a historical novel, the emotion would have been "Thank god we moved past this." Now it feels a chilling vision of the future.

Labour has decided it must be the most transphobic party because Keith cares more about implementing unpopular bullshit than he does about retaining power.
🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space".
In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender.

I'm glad this specifically names and discusses the mechanisms of societal transmisogyny and harsh policing of transfemininity under patriarchy, which results in transfems staying closeted for longer. While the number of trans men and women are roughly equal, trans women tend to come out later.
Critics claim gender clinics are seeing an excess of trans boys. But new data suggest otherwise
Some claim ‘social contagion’ is driving teenagers who were assigned female at birth to identify as transgender and seek medical care.

Every day is simultaneously like "esteemed liberal college doesn't even bother with court battle, agrees to pay trump umpteen billion and hunt trans women with drones" and "locals send ICE agents scurrying away in fear, save 100 people from deportation."

Seeing institution after institution fold to fascism like wet cardboard while communities otg wage serious and meaningful resistance just confirms why I'm an anarchist and always will be.
We need far more of the latter, of course, but what's already happening is cause for hope.

I think it's important to note the audience for this isn't really cisgender LGB people (who polling tells us overwhelmingly favor trans rights) but is meant to serve as a permission structure for a broader audience to abandon trans rights while still claiming they're "liberal"
