one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere
What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

Honouring Lou Sullivan on this World Aids Day. He was the first known Trans Man to contract HIV & the first Trans Man to publicly live life as an out Gay man. Currently reading his diaries for the 3rd time. What a life he lived & a legacy he left behind. 💟🏳️⚧️

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Cis people, how many times have you been asked to describe how you masturbate, and what you think about when you do, to access healthcare on the NHS?

This article is devastating.
Earlier this month, a 15-year-old died by suicide the day after posting about a substitute teacher insisting on misgendering him.
Suicide can have many contributing factors. His family is speaking out about bullying and misgendering as two.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

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.

"Gender Ideology" is do-I-get-to-exist. "Just asking questions" - yes, the question is, do-I-get-to-exist. "Shoving it down our throats" - Existing. "Debate" - yes, over whether I get to exist. "I was shut down by the far left" - when you said people don't/shouldn't exist.

This is a big deal but most of the coverage is superficial and misinformed. Good thing there is someone who spent a *decade* digging into this (@reveleth.com)! Excellent explainer 👇
I wrote up what the new World Athletics policy actually means, who is exempt, and what might come next, along with a little *hot take* about the financial piece of this. buttondown.com/tested/archi...
World Athletics is indeed going back to mandatory sex testing.
In unsurprising, but still pretty unfortunate news: Yesterday, World Athletics announced that it would indeed be bringing back genetic sex testing for all...

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history.
