Which Witch R U 🏳️‍🌈 @which-witch-ru.bsky.social · Feb 28
Pride and awareness days are important because that’s often the only place we learn LGBTQ history. We must learn it so we don’t repeat it. Notice anything familiar?
1933 - in Berlin, Nazis destroy over 20,000 books/papers/medical records of the world's first LGBTQ medical research institute (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, 1919-33), to pretend LGBTQ people never existed and weren't researched and are instead, a new social construct targeting kids - they also introduce the false "groomer" trope 1946 - The word "homosexuality" is added to the Revised Standard Version of the Bible to substitute the Greek words "malakoi" and "arsenokoitai" which actually described the sin of rape/pedophilia and not homosexuality/consensual sex (it was changed to "sexual perverts" in 1971, but conservative Christians still weaponized sexual perversion as homosexuality rather than rape and pedophilia) 1947 - 1975 The Lavender Scare (which actually continued into the 1990s) - during The Red Scare, LGBTQ people were purged from government positions as their "immorality" was considered a blackmail risk to national security that could be weaponized by communists 1948 - Truman signed Public Law 615 categorizing homosexuality as a mental illness, and therefore "sexual psychopaths" who should be arrested/institutionalized 1953 - Eisenhower signed EO 10450 banning all LGBTQ people from federal employment (reversed by the Civil Service Commission in 1975, but discrimination continued until anti-discrimination laws were passed in 1998 for federal employees - Obama fully repealed this EO in 2017) 1969 - Stonewall riot in NYC 1970 - first Pride March 1987 - sexual orientation finally removed from DSM as a mental illness (APA voted for the removal in 1973, but it took 14 years to fully remove) 2003 - Lawrence v Texas - SCOTUS strikes down sodomy laws and rules homosexuality is fully decriminalized in all US states 2009 - Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr Hate Crimes Prevention Act - expands 1968 federal hate crime law to include crimes motivated by sexual orientation, gender identity or disability 2011 - Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal Act passed - homosexuals can now serve openly in the military 2011 - students have a right to an LGBTQ alliance club 2013 - gender dysphoria replaces gender identity disorder in the DSM because of stigma associating it with mental illness and not a biological disorder 2014 - DOE issues official discrimination protection for trans students under Title IX 2015 - ban on transgender military members lifted by Sec of Defense (Trump banned them again in 2019, which was reversed by Biden in 2021 and then Trump banned them again in 2025) 2015 - Obergefell v Hodges - SCOTUS legalizes same-sex marriage 2020 - Bostock v Clayton County - SCOTUS rules employment discrimination laws (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) apply to all LGBTQ people (Title VII initially included transgender discrimination protection in 2012 and sexual orientation protection in 2015)

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Kamala Harris was dragged for being endorsed by and campaigning with Liz Cheney by the same progressives swooning over Mandani kikiing with Trump in the White House.

And when y’all ask why I say they got it…shit like that is why.

Last night, regarding my POTS, a woman with “endo” in her bio said “try fainting from actual pain,” & then she called my years long battle with vertigo “a little dizziness.” That’s like saying endo is “just cramps.” The disability community is just as toxic as everything else 😩

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait.

It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on.

Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
On October 1, 2025, after successfully completing 16 weeks of the FBI Academy's 19-week training program, Maltinsky was handed a letter terminating his employment with the FBI. The letter was signed by Defendant Patel ("Patel"). In the letter, Patel wrote that he had "determined that [Maltinsky] exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in [his] work area during [his] previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office." In short, Patel fired Maltinsky for displaying a pride flag at his workstation that had been flown by the FBI at the LAFO and then given by the FBI to Maltinsky. The Defendants' discrimination against Maltinsky for engaging in protected speech was a clear and brazen violation of federal law and the Constitution.

Took a criminology class a few years back and learned trans people did not have their own hate crime statistic until around 10 years ago, they would be considered gay/lesbian hate crime and added to that statistic. So many more trans people could have been hurt and killed than we will ever know.

5/ Our take @jamiewareham.co.uk

"The report relies largely on media coverage. Not every murder is reported, and in many countries trans identities are not even recorded in official reporting, making these figures an even clearer call to action."
A QueerAF graphic featuring a Forbes article titled “375 Transgender People Murdered In 2021: ‘Deadliest Year’ Since Records Began,” and a previous QueerAF post reading “350 transgender people were murdered this year in a ‘significantly’ increasing cycle of violence.” Below text from Jamie Wareham reads: As a journalist, I've been reporting on this list for several years. So I know all too well despite the incredible dedication of the team at Transgender Europe to catalogue these murders across the world, they represent only a fraction of those that take place. The report relies mainly on media reporting on deaths. When you zoom out and consider that not every murder is covered in the press, and in many countries, transgender identities are not even recorded in official reporting, the figures available are an even clearer call to action. Look at an even bigger picture, and the reality is many families will live in fear of violence coming to their door, meaning many transgender people are not honoured in death, and justice is not saught.

He was mad she was half his age and a better welder than him. She took all the right actions reporting him and was failed. We’re not even safe with our own male colleagues much less on the site of the job, esp in home repair - men will call tradeswomen simply to get them into their home to assault.

Last week, 20-year-old Amber Czech was murdered by a coworker who told law enforcement he simply did not like her.

This happened during a year where the Trump administration cancelled grants to address gender-based violence in the workplace.

19thnews.org/2025/11/ambe...
Amber Czech was murdered at work. Tradeswomen say it could have happened to any of them.
The 20-year-old welder’s killing by her coworker has prompted women in trades across the country to speak out about the harassment they face and the protections they need.

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.
Chart showing detention population, among those arrested in the interior, by criminal record, May 2019 through present. There are three lines shown. (1) Prior conviction (which rises from around 9,000 in January 2025 to just over 16,000 in November 2025), (2) Pending criminal charges (which rises from around 5,000 to 15,000), and (3) No criminal record (which rises from around 1,000 to 21,000).

Remember the blackout from Wednesday, November 26th thru Cyber Monday, December 1st. I mean, we might not be able to take them down like we're doing with Target, but even impacting their bottom line for a couple of days is noticeable to them.

Did you know that trans people are more likely to report having Long COVID than cis people are?

On this annual Transgender Day of Resilience (TDOR), we’re sharing our resource on Long COVID in trans people.

Created with @longcovidjustice.org

longcovidjustice.org/lc-in-trans-people
A purple and teal ombre background has large blue title text that says: “Long COVID Trans People: Navigating Across Gender Clinics and Long COVID Care.” Below this is an illustration of a trans person with brown chair and short pink hair and pink high heels, sitting in a purple wheelchair with a big glowing pink heart in their arms. The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE. A series by The Sick Times x Long COVID Justice." Aqua and purple gradient background with white text boxes and black text that says: “Trans people are more likely to report having Long COVID than cis people are. According to one survey, over 27% of trans adults reported ever experiencing Long COVID as of September 2024, compared to 14% of cis men and 22% of cis women.” There is a graphic showing bars of various lengths to represent these percentages. Additional text says: “More research is needed. Some advocates suggest lower income and less access to healthcare among trans people could contribute to this pattern.” The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE.“ Aqua and purple gradient background is titled, “Options for talking to providers, continued.” Below this, a white text box has black text that says: “You can also request a referral to a Long COVID clinic, or another specialist who understands and sees people with Long COVID and related diseases. If possible, ask people in your community about recommendations for these providers. Note that not all Long COVID clinics are familiar with treating trans people.” Below this a green organic shape has black text that says: “Directories of Long COVID clinics, COVID-informed doctors, and more: Additional text includes the link to the webpage: “longcovidjustice.org/connect” The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE." Aqua and purple gradient background is titled, “Look out for more research.” Below this, a white text box has black text that says: “Some research suggests that sex hormones could influence the body’s immune response, which might affect the severity or symptoms of Long COVID. For example, one preprint (not yet peer reviewed) found that people with lower levels of testosterone were more likely to have worse Long COVID symptoms. This article includes more info about sex hormones and the immune system. More research is needed to better understand why trans people may be more at risk for Long COVID and to develop treatments.” The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE."
