Well, that's absurd, inane, mendacious, twisted, hateful, discriminatory, ridiculous and a thousand other adjectives humans have created to point at something and say "that's a dumb idea you self serving scum". Information from other trans people IS HOW WE SURVIVE. NOT BY SHOWING OUR EXPOSED BELLIES

JACKSONVILLE — TW ⚠️: Unarmed Black driver has his window smashed + face punched by a sheriff’s deputy after being pulled over for not having his headlights on… during the day. 🤔

HOLY SHIT. The ban on any federal funding gender-affirming care includes stripping ACA plans of covering it as the essential care it is.
I have an ACA plan. I live in a blue state, but I am about to lose access to treatments I need.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.
Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography.
The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards.

Observations from this article on "tech" chat groups: 1) they are 100% male, 2) they are texting all day, 3) they seem to have little other work to do, 4) these are investors, not true 'techies', 4) the author of the article seems not to realize himself how airless and homogeneous these groups are.
