A lot of journalists are writing stories about DIY now and I don't trust any of them not to scaremonger about it to build support for crackdowns. I've refused requests for interviews on this. Do not talk to the media about DIY.
Trans people need to be careful about talking about DIY. Yes talk about it in the general sense, quote the facts and figures but be careful. Don't give away sources to cis folks. Don't talk to journalists about the details. They're coming for it.

how it feels being the only trans woman in a group of cis women

Ahhh hachyderm appears to be down and I feel so disconnected from my community! Guess I should probably both support them monetarily and also spin up a second account with similar follows and stuff on another server...

if youre more terminally altruistically minded i suppose you could also imagine the trans community as a piece of chainmail which you, as a link, strengthen by your very presence. the more of us there are, the less pressure on all of us. so really you have an altruistic duty to continue existing

if youre trans and youre struggling to justify why you as a person should be allowed to take up space in the universe just consider that by your sheer existence you make a lot of the worst people on earth mad enough that they will die early deaths from stress. so thats a p good reason

Cool, so they're just going full "Ana Valens is inherently pornographic"
My new Buy Me a Coffee account was suspended before my first payout was received, the site stating it is “required to deactivate accounts that contain or use adult content to generate revenue through Buy Me a Coffee”

Adult content was never referenced on my page nor used as a motivator to tip

"They" say "transgender for everyone" like it's a bad thing, but everybody deserves to be able to trans their gender. And trans it back if it's not for them.

Cadê seu Deus agora, binarista de gênero do caralho?
Another way biology is just frickin berko:

Two zygotes formed from two separate fertilisation events - would have been fraternal twins.

They merged into a single chimera embryo.

Which experienced a twinning event to make (genetically) identical chimera twins

One boy and one girl.
A case of true hermaphroditism reveals an unusual mechanism of twinning - PubMed
Traditionally twins are classified as dizygous or fraternal and monozygous or identical (Hall Twinning, 362, 2003 and 735-743). We report a rare case of 46,XX/46,XY twins: Twin A presented with ambigu...

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

so I've never talked about this before, but the whole "autogynephilia" thing basically delayed my transition by a full decade and a half

to me, it's a deeply dangerous concept, not because anti-trans activists use to delegitimize transness (they do), but because it's a comfortable placebo (🧵)

I told my friend’s teenage son this joke yesterday and he got up without a word and went upstairs to his room.

Just realized I've been mentally conflating Palantir and Anduril. Both shitty defense contractors, but in fact distinct from one another I guess.

Okay it’s true that any attack on porn is an attack on LGBTQ+ people and sex ed but also porn is good and should not be attacked.

I heard Stephen A. Smith tell CNN yesterday that "people are afraid they're going to lose their job for messing up a pronoun" and it really amazes me how many people don't realize they are awash in intentional propaganda designed to make them afraid of the wrong things and angry at the wrong people
Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.
I have two sons, and I don't think I've ever seen messaging going "Don't be a boy" or "YOU'RE BAD."

Sure looks like that's in "I heard someone say that they heard..." territory, rather than actual direct experience.

Also worth noting, the main message from manosphere influencers is "YOU'RE BAD."

that sort of "guidance" is made to be disobeyed and not just by trans folk. Cis allies can genderbend as a treat

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.
