Outside Portland’s ICE facility, cardboard headstones line the fence, each one honoring a person who died in ICE custody.

I've been saying soemthing similar for years. Why is it fine and dandy for me to get HRT so my menopause doesn't make me miserable, and outrageous for my trans friends to get the exact same HRT so their gender dysphoria doesn't make them miserable?
23 Oct 2025 - Katelyn Burn's on how cis women are turning to same testosterone to improve their sex drive that trans men have to jump through hoops for. And they get the same estrogen for HRT being taken away from trans kids. Why is affirming care only good for cis ppl? @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Gender Affirming Care for me, Not for Thee
The New York Times this week ran a magazine feature about a group of cis women who take testosterone for to get a more active libido. It got me thinking about the double standards we have for trans pe...

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s wrong.

Also, shame on any democrat politician who thought for one moment this was a radicalized progressive. We don’t radicalize toward weaponry and murder. We generally radicalize toward justice, protest, mutual aid, and community action.

When I was working in hospitality, I kept asking to be moved to the kitchen so I wouldn't have to constantly interact with customers.

I'd get interrogated by customers any time I wore nail polish. After starting HRT, I didn't feel safe with that continuing so left the industry.

He's unwell. Which doesn't make it less scary to be targeted by him.
Please please please please PLEASE understand that Linehan is not unique. All transphobes are this divorced from reality. All of them have had their entire brain melted by their hate and disgust.

Yes, including that one. Yes, even that one. That one too.

It is quite literally ALL OF THEM.
Linehan’s court case making it very clear indeed exactly how wacky this stuff always was, and that people like him have always been about incoherent hatred. e.g. the Harry Potter lady and those ex-Guardian colonists aren’t more reasonable than this: they are *more careful about public perception*.

Kicking out trans people was supposed to be about some shit about cohesion and the masculine warrior paradigm. This has no possible reason—even as *cover*—other than pure cruelty
