Xennial sapphic trans femme/them trying to find community in the digital wasteland.

As someone once pointed out, if non-citizens aren’t afforded due process, _nobody_ gets due process.
All they’ll need to do is claim you aren’t a valid citizen and suddenly you have no due process to argue against that claim.
And they can do it to _anyone_ for any reason.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
I’m going to say this again. Our judicial system relies on the idea that EVERYONE is entitled to due process.
It doesn’t work if we ignore that.

This is possibly the most significant attack on trans rights in this country yet, and I can count the number of posts on my timeline about this on my hands.
If you're trying to dismiss this thinking "It'll die in the senate," DON'T! Sound the alarms now!

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

This should not have even been an option. The six “democrats” who refused to stand against genocide should be held accountable for attempted murder.
There will be no consequences from this.
I know that.
There should be, but there won’t.

17 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- House barely passes M T Greene's anti-trans care ban by 5 votes, 216-211. First national ban to pass either a chamber, it would make care a felony. It is not expected to go anywhere in the Senate, which has shown little interest in passage.
MTG's Felony National Youth Trans Ban Passes House; 3 Dems Vote For It, 4 GOP Vote Against It
The bill is not expected to pass the Senate, but marks the first time a national trans youth care ban has passed a chamber of Congress.

Transphobes also understand that the point is not "fairness in girls' sports" or whatever: the point is to establish that trans women are not *really* women. Once you've conceded that, they've won.

I see why Newsom wants to be identified with Reagan, because just like Reagan, he’s abandoning LGBTQ people. Also he’s a neoliberal enabler of capitalist domination and control.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

In conclusion: gender critical people are basing their arguments on deeply flawed understandings of science. But the ignorance involved runs so deep that even our leading politicians think it's "common sense".
I don't know how we can combat this, other than continuing to defend truth.

Repressing is what led to my divorce. It may well have destroyed the possibility of friendship with my ex as well. Sometimes the “what-if”s hurt more than anything else.
as a former repper (i knew i was trans for sure at age 13 and manually shoved it down until age 27) i can tell you this: NEVER REP. IT WILL KILL YOU. you will either eventually come out and live burdened by the time you wasted or you will die as a shell of a person. TRANSITION NOW.

For anyone not paying attention, this is continued denial of due process. Without due process for everyone, all other assumed “rights”, of citizens and visitors alike, are null and void.

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad

This is because this regime’s concept of “the economy” is corporate profits, not the wellbeing of residents. Unfortunately current corporate profits are being driven by price gouging and underpaid labor.

This is going to be a litmus test for our elected representatives. Pay attention to who is willing to throw us under the bus. Make sure they don’t have a political future. Even if this bill fails (as it is likely to do), it is important to watch the debate and see who’s going to be dangerous.
1. In exchange for her NDAA vote, MTG has announced that her national felony trans youth care ban will go to the floor December 17th.
It is not expected to pass into law due to the U.S. Senate.
Still, it will be a terrible historic moment for anti-trans bills.

I really wish more people would listen to this sentiment and understand.
Trans people did not get the childhood and “socialization” of their AGAB.
We got trauma instead.
It was never a privilege.

There are too many people willing to pull that lever.
Conservatives actively trying to eliminate trans people from society, centrists thinking that agreeing with them to get more power, and everyone else who just doesn’t care.

He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.

I was forced to try to fit in with boys though we all knew I didn't and I was bullied, beat up because I didn't.
I hated it and grew to hate myself.
