i have wondered how much is boycott and how much is the experience of going to a target in 2025 being only slightly more pleasant than getting dental work done

Hello! I'm looking to speak with people who received passports back after the Supreme Court halted an injunction that prevented the State Department from issuing sex markers based on birth certificates, not the holder's gender identity.

My former officemate @laurelpowell.net had a great conversation with Katelyn and Christine on @cancelmedaddy.bsky.social this week - worth a listen!
I really enjoyed getting into the weeds with Kate and Christine on what this month’s elections means (and doesn’t mean) for the future of transphobic political ads
I hope you all can make it! The episode tomorrow is titled "The Death of the Anti-Trans Ad: Why Democrats’ 2025 Wins Changed Everything" with our guest @laurelpowell.net!

I am releasing you from your obligation to be aware of any specific trans people this week

ideally trans awareness week would be a dedicated 7 day period for us to play nintendo switch while allies do some heavy lifting

This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud
House Dems unite to tell GOP to stop "demonizing" trans people with "dehumanizing" slurs - LGBTQ Nation
Rep. Nancy Mace's "tra**y, tra**y, tra**y!" tirade is just one example.

Had the opportunity today to hold an event with the fantastic Mayor and Council in Salt Lake City - they added the sego lily to the pride and trans flags to get around a state ban, along with a lot of other hard work.

Honestly it looks better with the sego lily tbh

THEN, DURING THE THIRD RECONCILIATION OF THE MCKETRICK SUPPLICANTS, THEY CHOSE A NEW FORM FOR THE $2,000 DIVIDEND: THAT OF A GIANT SLOR! MANY SHUVS AND ZUULS KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO BE REIMBURSED IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SLOR THAT DAY, I CAN TELL YOU!
BESSENT: “THE $2,000 DIVIDEND COULD COME IN LOTS OF FORMS… IT COULD BE JUST THE TAX DECREASES. IT COULD BE NO TAX ON TIPS.”

I hate the legs so I plan on doing something else (at minimum a taper)

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

This Transgender Awareness Week, we celebrate trans young people. Trans & intersex are different - trans people have a gender other than that assumed at birth, & intersex people are born with variations in reproductive anatomy. Some people are both! Regardless, we will find our freedom together.
