A cis guy I know invited me to his Discord server recently, where I was greeted with a transphobic meme and made to join the “boys only” voice chat
I left that server pretty fast lol

I did spend the 25th with a friend and it was nice
I’m always very depressed this time of year and this year isn’t really an exception (and as we all know this year has been horrific), but my 25th was a lot nicer than it usually is

The holidays are hard when you're estranged from your family, but it gets easier, and you are not alone.

I put the game dev label on my account since I’ve worked on several completed games. I’m not sure if that’s a weird thing to do since I’ve made it a little difficult to link myself to those games, lol
Snailiad has a nice community on Discord though! They made a server and invited me there years ago

I don't really celebrate Christmas myself, but this is always a particularly difficult time of year for me.
This year I'm going to be spending a lot of time with a close friend, so I think that despite everything going on, it'll be a much nicer day than I'm used to.
It will be a day of many meows

a lot of powerful forces are coming after life-saving healthcare for trans kids in america. if you don’t realize how enthusiastic an enabler of that part of trump’s project 2025 the new york times was, this is an excellent thread.

How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US:
Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

Do we poll people without diabetes about whether people with diabetes deserve care? Do we poll people without cancer whether people with cancer deserve cancer care? What is the purpose of polling about trans peoples' healthcare other than to imply our own healthcare is somehow frivolous?

12 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Erin Reed notes Greene's anti-GAC bill is unlikely to pass: in March 0 Senate Dems supported a sports ban. But it marks 1st national trans youth care ban vote. Public support for care is around 50/50 with somewhat fewer generally supporting a legal ban.

It’s disturbing and discomforting to examine but there are several anti-phone and anti-social media initiatives weaponizing murders and suicides of teens, leveraging grieving parents, and exaggerating or inventing causation to try and limit speech online and restrict tech freedoms
