Starting to think accepting trans people and supporting Palestinian rights are the two bars that anyone who claims to want to make the world better needs to clear in order for that claim to be believable.
Call it a "purity test" all you want, but this movement we're building must have standards.

One of the things I hope will be remembered re “gender critical” politics is that they were mostly good at forcing exclusion and basically nothing else. No serious investment into women’s charities or institutes, no desire to really partake in VAWG nor any effort to improve public toilets

Given NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro's announcement that trans women will now be moved into men's prisons it's hard not to see this directive to rape as yet another globally co-ordinated fascist move
BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.
This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.
This is almost everything the government is doing.

God I am deeply ashamed of where I was born and raised
The Oklahoma House of Representatives gave that girl an award for writing a terrible essay? For getting a trans person fired? This whole thing is an op.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.
Idk, just spitballing here.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.

Remaining politically unbiased requires staying neutral on matters like evidence, relevant past behavior, clear patterns, obvious lies, and observable truth, which is worth remembering whenever somebody starts complaining about political bias.

"Respectful and understanding" - perhaps they were. I'm not. I don't think any of us should be. I think orgs that do this need to pay a heavy price for doing it. They're afraid of the power transphobes have: and so we must endeavour to build power of our own and to wield it uncompromisingly.
This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.'
And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.'
Absolutely pathetic.
