Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

IMHO transmisogyny is real & a vital concept. we would never purge the terms transphobia/cissexism simply because cis ppl sometimes experience it on occasion, or because some ppl misuse these words. so why do this for transmisogyny?

What Is Transmisogyny?
My 2007 book Whipping Girl is probably best known for two things: It popularized “cis” terminology (which I did not coin) and introduced…

talia, as usual, doesn't miss. anyone interested in modern transfeminism should read this immediately.
Today, I finally commit to paper a concept that has become increasingly central to how I conceive of and discuss radical feminism, so as to better facilitate the comprehensiveness of future pieces (like 'Epistemic Vandalism', still in the works).
So let's talk about penetrability.

I thought it was weird that my trans blog from 2014 evolved into a civil liberties and Social Security and data privacy blog this year, but it turns out the situation is compelling every one of us to necessarily pivot to addressing the fundamental and overarching threat to our basic way of life!

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.
