This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

As a transmasc living in Florida, the recent news has been kinda driving me batty, especially because I’ve had zero sales this month that could help me out in a year where I’ll prolly have to move at some point ;v; #plush #plushies #signalboost

I believe the general internet tradition on these kinds of things is well known.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

It’s starting to become clear to me that a lot of people who said “I wouldn’t have let the Holocaust happen” would have 100% let the Holocaust happen.

I was trying to upload some of my short animations, but the audio is so choppy it's unwatchable. This only happens on bsky. Anyone know why, or how I can fix it?

You don't cozy up to power

You speak prophetic truth to those who have power when you have the mic

You use your voice and position to demand moral reckoning, safety, care, love, protection.

YOU. TAKE. RISKS.

It's your damn job.

I am not a man.
Evan Urquhart is not a woman.
No matter what Trump's government said.

So much of what Trump wants to do targeting trans people will depend on cisgender people to enforce his policies and police our bodies and spaces we exist in.

So much can be stopped by people refusing to do so.
Trump is reportedly going to sign a piece of paper later today declaring that the federal government of the United States defines me as a woman.

If there's a better encapsulation of how stupid the whole "define woman" thing is and has always been I'd love to see it.
Let's close with a picture. This is me, full body, no filters, no tricks.
