"Just fucking transition already" in all its forms is necessary counterculture to the endless fucking eggslop that litters the trans internet. "When you wish you were a–" you are one. Transition about it. Quit romanticising the closet.

If you're in circumstances that make it more difficult, taking steps towards a situation where social/medical transition will be safe counts as part of transition. Finding community with people who'll help you counts as part of transition.

The way shows like Adolescence and attacks on girls and trans kids are being used to isolate marginalized people and justify expanding state & corporate control of the internet needs more scrutiny. The answer isn’t bans but dismantling the systems that profit from stoking fear, anger & division.
Brianna Ghey was targeted by classmates who knew her offline. Online, she made friends and a community, and was making content to help other trans kids like her.
This is a grieving mother pushing for legislation that would have further isolated her trans child, that is supported by transphobes.

"It's not transphobic if we allow trans boys to play on boys' teams but ban trans girls from girls' teams" has the same bouquet as "General Motors can't have discriminated against Black women on the basis of race if they hire Black men, or on the basis of sex if they hire white women."

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.
Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

Today, I would like to present a deep dive into feminist history that got away from me.
Like, really got away from me.
It is about the futility of a politics of appeasement. It is about the unburial of a neglected feminist history. But most of all, it's about lesbian feminism, and sins unforgiven.

“Common sense is common sense,” Schultz said. “I don’t need a report, one way or the other, to tell me that. I just firmly believe that minors should not be transitioning.”
This really gives the game away. As we've said, no amount of evidence would ever satisfy them. It's ideological.

Notably, the New York Times did not cover this at all despite giving glowing coverage to the Cass Review including an interview. This is the bias inherent to their coverage. They only covered the review that aligned with their ideological goals.

This is why the reactionary centrists rely so heavily on these "systematic reviews" to fool gullible liberals into believing that the bigotry is somehow backed by science when it isn't. They ignore or attack the reports that don't align with their ideological beliefs.

and the fact that it wasn’t pulled immediately after the grok CSAM incident says everything you need to know about the way “protecting children” is used as a justification for anything else. it’s never really about that at all. it’s all just power & capital.
Honestly think that if you pulled twitter from the App Store and shut it down it would fuck up the entire right wing ecosystem at that point. Like the entire media apparatus would fall apart.

Conservatives have so throughly dehumanized anyone not like them that they really are just out here cheering on the extrajudicial murder of an American citizen too. She’s just a queer liberal woman, all reasons she’s not really human, so of course she was fine for her to be murdered by the state.
