Carolina is an incredible advocate for her cousin, but she shouldn't have to be. This young man should have his dad with him right now.

sports bans have always been a gateway to a shift in mindset of who trans people are, as a means of slowly convincing the general public that we are a "problem to be dealt with." they accomplish nothing else.

our job now is to convince the general public to see that we are the stress test.

Katelyn Boo-urns @katelynburns.com · Jul 31

everything you as a democrat hate about what trump is doing has been means tested on trans people. everything. the democracy you want to save, we were the test case for ending it.

and it started with making you angry about trans people in sports.

As ICE threatens to flood New York City with kidnappers, remember, in the face of inhumane conditions:

There is no 'Other.' There is just 'Us.'

The Public Advocate and @nyccomptroller.bsky.social are demanding the city intervene in the emergency that is 26 Federal Plaza's de facto jail.

Join us in taking action! Protecting our community at the state and local level is more important than ever 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Transexual Menace New York City @nyctransmenace.bsky.social · Jul 21

There are three (3) bills on @governor.ny.gov s desk right that would protect Trans people across New York collecting dust right now. This is unacceptable, especially in the current environment, so we're asking everyone to use the following script to let her know she should Sign These Bills!

A script for calling Governor Hochul's office that reads as follows:

NYS Governor's Office: 1-518-474-8390

Hi! My name is ____ and I am a constituent living in ____. I am calling to urge Governor Hochul to sign three bills that will protect the rights of transgender people as well as provide key privacy and healthcare protections for all New Yorkers.

Senate Bill S4914B will protect people accessing gender-affirming care and reproductive healthcare in New York from prosecution by other states.

Senate Bill S3486 will require hospitals to provide patients and their families with much needed transparency. Additionally, this bill will allow lawmakers and researchers to identify health care deserts in our state.

Senate Bill S929 will protect our private health information from misuse by Big Tech.

Our legislators have worked hard to pass these bills, and I believe that signing them into law will be essential for the State of New York to fight back against overreach by the Trump administration and Republican-controlled states.

I am asking Governor Hochul to sign all three bills as soon as possible. Thank you.

If 25% of the population believed that a creature called ‘Glonzo’ caused high power prices by chewing through transmission lines, any competent politician would be negligent in not trying to find a way to exploit this. This doesn’t mean that these people wouldn’t be fucking morons.

A government that cuts funding to suicide hotlines is not a government that wants to keep its citizens alive. This regime will stop at nothing to erase our existence. Fight back!

However, new debate has sprung up regarding whether or not NYT editors should qualify for the gold medal over concerns that their recent transition into state media propagandists gave them an unfair advantage in mental gymnastics.

NEW: NYT Executive Editor Joe Kahn spoke about the Mamdani article at his daily meeting with top editors this morning, praising both the story and the reporting process, a Times source tells me. He also praised Assistant Managing Editor Pat Healy’s explanation of the situation that he posted on X.

Here's a better headline: "Mamdani Faces Racist Smear Over College Application."

1/2 You could write a book about one atrocious headline in print NYT today

(I sort of wrote this book 30 years ago, Breaking the News, but others can take a turn.)

What's wrong this headline? Mamdani "faces scrutiny" **ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY** because NYT decided to make this a "thing."

Really bad.

my only exposure to Ben Ryan is that every time @michaelhobbes.bsky.social does a thread on a trans rights issue, Ben will do a thread purporting to “debunk” it, but every time it’s minor nitpicks and disagreements about framing

Not surprised at all that Benjamin "Just Asking Questions About Trans Healthcare" Ryan has a hand in this.
