Authoritarianism, especially in service of the ultra-wealthy, has no place here. May those who crown themselves kings rot in their own depravity.

Find support, build networks and keep each other motivated.
Collective action is the key to real change.

Also important to note that the estimates that place trans people at 1.3 million are rather old, from the Williams Institute, which did good work at the time mind you.
Latest Gallup poll shows 1.3% of people now identify as trans, which would be over 4 million people!

Still thinking about this quote from a writer at NYT who said she "can't quite say [Trump's attacks on trans people are] exactly consequential, since so few lives are materially affected."
There are an estimated 1.3 million trans adults in the U.S.
That's equal to the population of Dallas, TX.

REMEMBER KIDS
when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query
Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down.
This poisons the entire data pool and makes it useless

The anti-trans movement always pretends its latest demand, its latest moral panic, is the limits of what they want. Just give in to this one "reasonable concern" and they'll be satisfied, promise. It's a lie, they'll never be happy as long as trans people exist.

Headline: trans girl sets triple jump record
Reality: It's a meet record in division 3. It's not even a sports record or a top division record. It's for a single meet, the kind of record that goes down all the time.
So many such cases of disinformation.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."
My kid lives in Siddall Hall and sent me these yesterday. First is what was put up by the school, second is the students’ alteration of the administrations’ cowardice.

This is fucking incredible.
![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreicmr3wybkn6acxmmdf4vuqnzxho2nk7kp3v7tx7vkclg2cjmwvixm@jpeg)
