Their transvestigating dolly Parton now. Crazy

JULIE DONUTS EO @1.. 16h Off subiect but I couldn't help closely looking at Dolly. Idc what anyone says, NO ONE has a chest ike that. I'm not talking about her breasts. Her chest. Not a single mark or wrinkle she's 79. Something is not right with her and it goes way beyond looks. I personally think Show more

I dont wan5 to be "that person", but she does fit the mold of a trans person. Never had kids, big hair, big clothes, big jewelry, boob jobs, lots of plastic surgeries. I get RuPaul vibes. I do love her voice and music though

Stephanie MacLean @Dizz.... 48m She has talked about wearing flesh tone gloves and body suits to hide her tattoos. Don't be so judgmental

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

Report Potential Wrongdoing Under the Trump Administration

Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

1. A new journal report in the prestigious Medical Journal of Australia eviscerates the Cass review, saying it is filled with fallacies and launders anti-trans disinformation.

It methodically goes through each problem in the review.

Microsoft, lemme level. I built my computer.

I built my computer, which means it's over-specced for many applications, and definitely compatible with windows 11.

The only reason it's not 'compatible', is that y'all say it isn't.

I know my computer better than y'all do. Guess i'll go install

Per last rt, the world is scary, but what we have is each other, our eyes, ears, minds, and hearts. Minecraft is less scary when you build your house with friends.

The world is less scary around a bonfire.

Use the blocks you gather to build a village, not a castle. Ya get me?

This thread is a call to action for anyone who considers themselves an ally to transgender folk.

Please read it, and please don’t put our futures in the hands of wishy washy politicians.

You have way more collective power than we do, and you can help us directly.

Please listen to trans people. 🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

I’ve fluctuated between living in deeply conservative and fairly progressive areas my entire life, and one thing it’s taught me is that most people don’t know a trans person personally.

Less than 1% of the US population and yet depicted as a nebulous threat. No unicorn, rather a perfect scapegoat.

Call out your shitty uncle, ruin thanksgiving, I don’t fucking care. Tell your shitty coworker to shut the fuck up. You don’t have to debate them, that doesn’t work anyway.

Just tell them to stop running their mouth about people they’ve never met.

This is why there was such a mania to assume the name and identity of the shooter as a member of an out-group that is already targeted for a violence that will never be deemed "political." To supremacists, who claim to be against "identity politics," identity is everything, everything, everything.

Gwien @gwienneth.bsky.social · Sep 11

Yeah, they declared war on 'the left', started screaming about politicizing tragedy, and started to back Alex Jones and his conspiracy about false flags.

Meanwhile, Connecticut bled. We've never recovered, mention of the shooting still hangs for a moment in conversations. Thanks, the right.

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️
