Responding to a trans woman saying 'put trans women in your fiction, cowards' with 'no, I'm putting a transmasc character and their cis woman spouse and that's final' seems very very weird. You can just not respond lol.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Also, to those 26 Senate Dems? Yeah, enough of your bullshit is enough. We're coming for your jobs and your seats. You are, every single one of you, toothless, feckless, cowards and we will never forget this.

1. Last night, 26 Senate Dems helped pass a NDAA containing a military trans sports and surgery ban and dropped demands for protections against US troop deployments in the bill.

It is the latest in the national fight over must-pass bills during the shutdown.

Good news for transgender people at MIT.

Unlike some prestigious universities, MIT has defied the Trump administration and refused its attempt to pressure the university into banning transgender people from bathrooms.
