@deanspade.bsky.social do you feel any kinda wrong? You’re a millionaire I have reached out to on behalf of black trans women that need help. #peopleoverprofit #change
Excited to share my interview with Holly Whitaker, author of Quit Like a Woman and host of the Co-Regulation podcast. I have been very inspired by Holly’s critical feminist analysis of how the alcohol industry and the ubiquity of 12-step impact how we perceive drinking and sobriety.

🚨 Utah just passed HB 269, banning transgender students from dorms that align with their gender identity. They must live based on their assigned sex at birth or in gender-neutral or single-occupant dorms, options that don’t exist at all public and private universities in Utah.

A decade of harassment followed. In 1876, she was arrested for “being a man dressed in women’s clothing” and died that same year. But she never lost her fight—telling interrogators questioning her gender: “None of your damn business.”

After seeing the consequences of their years of biased coverage about trans people @nytimes.com is trying to erase their role in bringing us to this perilous moment. That’s why I wrote this Letter to the Editor to keep accountability squarely where it belongs and to call for an unvarnished apology
