If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

After ICE did this in Illinois, the Secretary of State revoked the plates, sent a cease and desist to ICE, threatened to suspend rental car licenses for allowing ICE to swap plates and set up a tip hotline to report plate tampering.

Ah, another vulnerable population sacrificed on the altar of "bipartisanship" by @amyklobuchar.com
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

This is Jacob Frey’s MPD.
Disheartening to see federal agents take two neighbors on 29th & Pillsbury. Chemical irritants were used on observers by them.
MPD showed up on scene, created a pathway for these federal agents to kidnap our neighbors, and assisted with controlling the space. Disappointing and heartbreaking.

Giving Gaston a fleshed out backstory is like trying to humanise the kind of guy who consumes no media except team sports and Andrew Tate videos, and thinks women have gotten above themselves.
Which is probably why Disney are so keen on it right now.

Ahh so he’s just openly admitting his absolutely abysmal and transphobic views on trans people in sports are just fully made without listening to any actual facts on the issues, just shit he’s made up based on fear mongering. Cool cool. But did you know he’s the best on trans? He said so!
