‘Hungry for control’: Kansas House advances ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors
TOPEKA —  State employees would no longer be able to so much as call transgender children by their chosen pronouns under a bill blocking transgender minors in the state from receiving gender-affirming care. The legislation is barreling toward the governor’s desk. 

#Trans here, trans there, trans everywhere. From my etic perspective lots of performative fem. #Perfem, one might say.

These transphobic losers are at it again.

Female Athletes File Lawsuit Against the NCAA
In a landmark move, sixteen female athletes have united to file a lawsuit against the NCAA. Contribute to the ICONS Legal Defense Fund that is supporting this case.

From 2015. This was when I wasn’t acknowledging my own repressed trans desires. This was my idea btw.
“Hey, let’s dress up as fictional women for a training video for work, not at all because I’m actually a trans woman and not realising it yet…..”

If gender is a “contested subject that should not be taught” in schools, according to our government, then surely the same applies to religion?

The movies Bicentennial Man and A.I. are two of my favourites growing up.
I realise now why that is. They are stories of individuals, albeit robots, knowing who they truly are and being told by society that they aren’t who they KNOW they are.
These are imperfect allegories, but I still resonate with them.

The full Trans Facts resource is here. It refutes around twenty of the most common specious attack lines used to deny #trans people's human rights and access to healthcare.
The fact I can even write "twenty of the most common specious attack lines" says something grim about the state of the discourse around trans people. There are plenty more where these came from, alas.

Hoje é o dia da visibilidade #trans? Bom, então registro aqui a todos as pessoas trans os meus votos de que o mundo um dia passe a aceitar vocês exatamente do jeito que são. Que todos os preconceitos do passado fiquem no passado. Que nos comportemos como pessoas do século XXI (e não como em uma nova Idade Média, conforme é o desejo de alguns).

It's #TransDayOfVisibility today - which makes this a great day to read and/or listen to #Trans Facts, from Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh.
Cis allies in particular, I beg you to get the hang of gently correcting misinformed friends when they repeat common anti-trans myths!

Conservative Media Elevated and Enabled a Ranting, Rage-Filled Anti-Trans Dad in California — Assigned
Adam Vena swore at and berated the mother of his 5-year-old trans daughter. To the right, his rage filled outbursts, including some in family court, are inconvenient details to be papered over.

One aspect of being trans is I’m trying to focus on the trans joys.
For instance swimming for the first time or realising my boobs are so big now I need to buy new bras soon.

Trans Ally Tip:
Transgenderism is a phrase that makes me immediately suspect you either are against me or don’t know enough about being trans. Usually the former. Remove transgenderism from your vocabulary.

The trans agenda is actually why your socks go missing in the laundry.
We like mismatched socks and all your socks eventually get stolen from your laundry and get mailed randomly to trans people across the world.
Hope no other trans person is upset at me sharing this secret.

I'm glad John Dougall and the Utah State Auditor's Office were publicly embarrassed about the anti-trans snitch page.
I hope he takes his anger over the embarrassment out on the Utah State Legislature and pressures them to repeal this and their other hateful, anti-trans laws.

A shorter explanation is that it's unconstitutional. Anything that targets an easily identifiable group of people (all people who self-identify as #trans, e.g.) and deprives or punishes is a bill of attainder, specifically prohibited by the US Constitution, Article 1, §§ 9/10.

It’s so weird how much I didn’t like not having a top whenever I went swimming growing up. It always felt wrong.

I remember getting my license back in the beginning of March in 2021 when I changed my gender from man to woman. It felt so freeing to see the gender of who I am reflected in an official document.

I pity you. Being so afraid of #trans people that you have to make our lives hell.
I’m sorry that I have so much power to make your life unbearable. I’m sorry that you feel persecuted because I’m living my life as who I am.

Your periodic reminder that *any* statute, law, ordinance, policy or other law or law-derivative that singles out any group of easily identifiable people, like #trans ppl, and subjects them to punishment or deprivation is unconstitutional.
Article I, sections 9/10, forbids 'bills of attainder', the anachronistic term for the use of government power to target and discriminate at the fed…

I try to be strong, but some things take me back and make me have to compose myself. To the two young ladies tonight who laughed at me for my deep voice and being trans, I pity you. I was just working my retail job.
I am proud of my voice and I do not wish to modify it to suit some “gender norms”.
