For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine. Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)
to restate for the audience in the back: the difference between binary and nonbinary is the difference between soup and stew. either way you call it, it's still not a fucking sandwich.
Once a streamer got paid more than twice what i was paid in a year just to play the game I was working on and I'll never forget it.
frfr I 100% believe this is a retaliatory price hike so y'all should def keep boycotting
Selling this was only ever about limiting the ability to see Palestinians being murdered in real time. This has been laid bare, but it no longer matters, and they China will now transfer ownership to a series of purveyors of the American surveillance state, and war crimes will no longer be visible.
Charlie Kirk never cared about debates.
I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event
Disney+ is still on the BDS list, BTW. Don't restart your subscription just because they brought back Kimmel. They only did that because they lost so much money anyway; they learned nothing. If Disney or ABC wants your money, make them divest from Israel first.
If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖
Can people stop quoting that 60,000 people murdered by Israel number? That same number has been quoted for at least ONE YEAR. We're sadly way past it now. Way past.
just because you can port a game to a system doesn't mean you should @cherrypixelbun.gay
Narcissist does not mean "inherently evil" "Multiple Personalities" (being a system) doesn't mean Jekyll & Hyde Autism doesn't mean "annoying nerd"
my first thought was "why are we like this? lmfao" but then my second thought was whether these were period accurate clothing choices as of 1993 when bubsy first released. I fw it though, even if I never really cared for bubsy back then.
i didn't wanna have to do this but work is dicking me around for week and a half's worth of pay, covid is destroying me and yet im expected to be on call fulltime all of this coming week if anyone has the means to help w/ a few bucks until these assholes pay me what im owed ko-fi.com/plasmasword

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.
Next several weeks' gonna be rough for me, my roommates and a friend. Me and my roommates are likely have to move out to a new apartment and my friend's hit with a nasty rent due bill before moving too + I'm out of meds for HRT and stomach and needing groceries. Please help us. ko-fi.com/arrietty

I get the rapture jokes and I’m enjoying them as much as the next guy and also I hope everyone is keeping in the back of their minds the fact that these folks are literally praying that all the Jews in the entire world drop dead tonight so they can climb over our dead bodies to reach heaven
There are going to be plenty of days where you log-in, assess the ambient topics making the rounds, and conclude that you don't want to talk about any of that. And I promise you, you don't have to.
🚨 ID check laws are exposing people to invasive surveillance and censoring vast swaths of information online. VPN’s help us bypass all that + lawmakers are considering banning them! Join us this Thursday for a day of action and tell them NO: www.defendvpns.com
i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.
that's really fucked up and I'm sorry that was done to you.
And like... we know this. Forced haircuts as a child when wanting long hair are a classic transfem trauma, where pressure to keep it short overrides long-term work to grow it out in MINUTES.
Things are scary right now but when we share bad information or pretend that the state is more powerful or capable of harm than it actually is we do the fascists' work for them (FWIW I think Klippenstein is usually more responsible than that but that headline did a tremendous amount of damage)
The "terrorist reclassification" was an extreme over interpretation by Ken Klippenstein that circulated purely as a headline and is active disinfo, there are a whole gaggle of left/lib journalists right now who have found their niche getting massive engagement by scaring the shit out of trans people
True say some of y'all need to realize watching stuff like this is a form of self-harm
If an announcement gets you scared that’s reasonable but don’t stop there. As a general anxiety sufferer, I really believe it’s better to have an accurate fear than a general one. Dig into claims, Can they do this? How? What do they need? Who specifically is involved? etc.
the reason you don't engage in a data-driven argument with fascists is that it legitimises the idea that if the data went the other way their core argument would be acceptable it is not and should be rejected wholesale from first principles
If I went to a website in 2001 and encountered a cookie-permissions popup, a join-our-newsletter popup, 5 animated ads, and autoplaying videos, I would have panicked thinking the both the site and now my computer was hacked. Now, that's just, like, the Washington Post homepage.
Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.
Every time you repost or quote repost and indie creator's project, you can imagine yourself as a hand in this gif

📣🏳️⚧️ Call for Papers We are inviting papers for our special issue, “Feminist Responses to the Regression of Trans Rights: Strategies, Alliances, Hope.” The issue will be dedicated to trans-inclusive feminist legal analysis that addresses attacks on trans rights & lives. Details below. Please share.
Fuck a bluesky blackout, we need a whiteout. Cum everywhere, a week of moderators being unable to escape The Cum.
for what's happening now I don't mind agreeing. HOWEVER, I also think it wouldn't hurt for those who *need* to do social media for work to diversify their social media strategy so that way if/when you DO want to leave a shitty platform, it's not as big of a deal b/c you've already been building it.
It’s already at almost 80k. Won’t take much to get it over 100k. We can get more specific about our objections later (for example, the issue of gender markers), but might as well have an out and out “NO” as a starting point!
Why is this guy so good at explaining our dystopian timeline? 😭😭😭
This is a BAD idea from a tactical pov all this means is an issue that bsky mods do NOT want controversy around will have NO posting about it for a full week a large number of people who come back from the "blackout" will likely not start up the complaints again it hamstrings the cause
bsky.app/profile/pook... This old thread on it wasn't hit
72 hour suspension for a post about Prescott Bush's 1933 Business Plot and how absolutely none of the people involved were even prosecuted for it, let alone given the maximum sentence for it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines...
hey, there's a thread linked below about why this shutdown matters for trans people specifically & why senate democrats need to hear that, yes, a shutdown is worth it & people only don't hate you when you actually fight for something. read @ericmgarcia.bsky.social; read the thread. make some calls.
I see there's more garbage anti-woke steam curators doing the rounds, so instead of paying them any attention, might I suggest following a curator that'll put neat games on your radar? 'cos I'm always updating mine with more goodies: store.steampowered.com/curator/2834...
Here's the message I sent in You ABSOLUTELY are welcome to copy/paste or use it as a jumping off point Let them know we don't need this kind of "help"! 3/🧵

Reminder that there's more reason to cancel your disney+.
if people can help Kait *please* help her. many have helped both of us for the past year to keep us housed. please help Kait if you can continue. I'm moving as well, to somewhere accessible where I can have support. this apartment is inaccessible and I can't stay. I have help though, so help Kait
exhibit ??? of why you shouldn't argue with weirdos online. bitches might not even real people. a lot of times it's just a program that's shittily made to sound like an asshole that's made of 1s and 0s~
Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X
highlighted section is very relevant. *brought to you by a very moody trans woman who has been made to go off her hrt and is currently fighting with her surgeon hoping he listens cause this sucks ass
btw, i know WPATH sucks but if you’re a trans woman and your surgeon is having you go off HRT for “safety” reasons, point them to the WPATH Standards of Care V.8: wpath.org/publications... specifically, Statement 12.19
#bskycensorship awful to see yet another website cave its back in on censorship because it cannot handle art where characters dont look at the viewer and explicitly say ‘I Consent’ before fuckin
Keep in mind, these are the "official" Western numbers - so they're a low estimate by media and governments that has proven incapable of not being complicit. Even the pro-genocidal Western powers that be now speaks of a literal decimation as best case scenario. It might be as high as 1 in 4.
1 in 10 people in Gaza has now been massacred by Israel.
actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it
No particular reason
frfr it'd make sense if someone expressed a thought about being trans to let them be on a not shitty dose of hrt so they can see how they feel about it. unfortunately doctors would only do this if they weren't trying to prevent ppl from transitioning at all, and ppl couldn't try to discourage you.
One reason Charlie Kirk is annoying is because now you gotta know some of the awful shit he said in case you meet people in the real world and they heard from the news he was a good christian dude so you can set em straight. Easiest political conversation ever but what you gotta remember is gross 😮💨😤
all I'm saying is one of these people would actually benefit from folks crowdfunding her and buying her work, which they have been, and one of these people has a net worth of $50m. but what do I know?~ lmfao
idk maybe I'm just not in the spaces where ppl are going to bat for her which is VERY possible but it's not like they're going to stop streaming kimmel or delete every episode of the show. meanwhile dc is trying to erase this woman's work from ever being seen by trying to buy back the unsold books.
every time I see ppl going to bat for this man, which they should on principal, I think about who I have *not* seen this much action for even though she was also fired for the same reason. and like, I know that comics ain't got the same reach as night time talk show tv stuff, but damn lol.
somebody should stand outside the funeral with a boombox that loudly plays his famous quotes as a tribute to his memory~ we all know this was a way that the westboro baptist church exercised their free speech so I can't think of a better way to bring attention to his life and the words he lived by~
I didn't really read comics for my introduction to comic based media as a kid and instead watched a lot of animated stuff. it's so annoying when I find out about a cool character like 10 years too late b/c someone decided to shelve or kill them off to make room for a *far less* compelling character.
The reason I continue to point out how evil Democrats/liberals are is because they occupy the entire space for opposition...which is why there is no opposition to fascism right now. If we don't dismantle that cult there will be no change, it will only get worse.
I know many of us grew up with these famous characters, and they've been written and illustrated in the past by fantastic creators who really cared about them, *and* their fans, but all it takes is one weirdo with influence to completely change a character, or flat out dismiss them as unimportant.
I gotta pay more attention to people making stuff that's not tied to this foolishness. all fictional characters are *someone's* grimblo, or oc, until they're not anymore. I need to get past going to these big companies that don't care at all begging for stories with characters and "representation."
You don't get to erode trust in science and medicine, refuse to listen to experts in the field and trans people ourselves (which as the sole stakeholders in our own healthcare, you should), and not expect that you've opened the door to the likes of RFK Jr and other cranks and crackpots.
This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....
istg I picked a fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime to become somewhat interested in making nsfw art lmfao.
I will never be ashamed of laughing at my own jokes b/c I think I'm funny as fuck and I live to entertain an audience of one singular bitch: me~
kamala harris embodying the spirit of pissing in your cereal and calling it milk. I know some of y'all would be into this, but what makes this situation Not Good is the deception. it's not the same as someone *lovingly* pissing in your cereal because they wouldn't call it milk unless there's also c
people *mostly* used to love her and look up to her, they liked the grimblos she created, she lives in an *actual* castle, and has more money than her entire family line could ever spend through. she's miserable and hateful b/c she chooses to be and I seriously doubt anything will ever change that.
the worst part about sticking your head in the sand to have a moment of piece and joy is that the world will still be burning when you pull your head back out to see what's going on. tbh I don't know if it's better to power through the bs or have anxiety from *knowing* it's going to still be there.
I refuse to argue about the legitimacy of my existence or my human rights as a trans person. it never should've been an issue but there is TONS of evidence that people *refuse* to read or engage with in good faith so there's no point. ANYONE who tries to get me to do so can just eat a dick instead~
2. The state banning trans people in sports and bathrooms isn't a nuanced issue actually. Segregation is wrong. Stop swallowing fascist propaganda.
1. Telling trans people that even if Democrats won't protect us we should be selfless and vote for them to protect other people is a shitty thing to say. Asking for our rights and calling out Dems when they won't support us doesn't help fascists. Tell Democrats to support and defend us instead.
the biggest threat to modern politics and society advancing a gd smidge is the fucking book publishing industry b/c how many times have we seen this shit? this might be surprising to some but politics is not like fighting games. you do not, in fact, need to save *any* of your shit for nationals.
if I'm elected president I'm making a fucking law that if you're found to be withholding incredibly important information that would either directly or indirectly impact how you are seen politically or what you do politically while either actively in office or running for a position issa wrap lmfao.
if you think we don't matter, first of all fuck you lol, but secondly a LOT of races came down to a few handfuls of votes in the last election. even if you think we don't matter electorally, and again, fuck you~ 😌, do you *REALLY* want to chance Your Future by alienating us and losing those votes?~
cis people, the ball is in your court!~ if you don't want to fragment tf out of the voter base, b/c contrary to popular belief we're ACTUALLY loved and cherished by ppl who prob won't support those who disregard the safety of their loved ones, y'all better fix this shit now while you have a chance.
I'm sick of this shit. I'm not voting blue no matter who. either dems believe trans people deserve human rights, which includes bodily autonomy *and* access to COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE or I'm not voting b/c why the fuck should I bother, real talk. if they want my vote they need to fucking earn it.
since I'm not only a trans woman but also a black woman, and both of those parts of my identity are deeply intertwined and incredibly important to me, imagine how I fucking feel lmfao. I can say this is some bullshit w/o ppl trying to play the WHITE Trans Woman trap card that so many ppl love lmao.
when the party is clearly so transphobic that the trans woman who was elected to be a part of it seems more comfortable capitulating to the transphobia instead of fighting in a way that a LOT OF US just wanted to see at least a handful of dems act like they gave a fuck, why should we vote for them??
ask yourselves this: if I'm losing my rights under republicans already and the cis people who were "supposed" to be fighting for the human rights of trans people were ALSO going to let my human rights as a trans person be taken away, what possible motivation do I have for engaging with that system?
cis people hear me *very* clearly: y'all are going to have ANOTHER four years+ of bullshit like what we're all dealing with if you let these dems continue to openly flirt with transphobia. I REFUSE to vote for anyone who can't guarantee they'll fight for the human rights of trans people full stop.
idk ppl act like there aren't power dynamics, but being in a position where hella marginalized ppl are in a place to "let" your rights be taken and are ABSOLUTELY willing to do so kinda feels like proof of many things smart trans ppl have discussed and skillfully articulated about why it can happen.
her first choice running mate being the gay who *also* had goofy shit to say about trans ppl is just such a chef's kiss of fuckery. imagine loosing your rights while a woman and a gay man are in power lmfao. and the entire time the gop would have been acting like the trannies were eating good too!
I knew dems couldn't be trusted from the top down. imagine having her as the president right now lmfao. trans ppl would still be emigrating b/c they're full of shit. ain't none of us trusted her like that, b/c of her history, and what do you know?! if it looks and smells like shit than it prob is.
definitely don't regret not being on this site all day yesterday. not one fucking bit lol. I shouldn't have to bury my head into the sand to have a *moment* of peace but if that's what's required for me to get through this nightmare then fuck it. so be it I guess, lol.
hopefully one day I'll be proven wrong about the possibility of having good outcomes instead of being proven right about the possibility of bad ones.
