since Bluesky is chock full of Newsom-stan-bots insisting that "Dems should compromise on trans issues", I will re-up my November essay about why this is not only immoral & unempirical, but BAD POLITICS. Dems WILL LOSE if they do this, here's why (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/should-democ...
Jerry Nadler ends his remarkable career, conceding that his brand of politics on the Middle East is over. “I don’t know what to say at this point,” he said. “I can’t defend what Israel is doing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
So, when a Democrat makes their only statement on trans issues about trans women in sports, they are saying that this is their priority on trans issues - not restoring our equality under the law but joining Republicans in eroding it.
I mean that literally - no one is discussing the massive loss of rights trans people have experienced throughout the country. When Dems talk about trans women in sports, they're not just giving ground on sports. They're giving ground on everything, bc sports bans were the big issue 3 years ago.
If you think Palestinian struggle is their own problem, think again - it's coming for you next. Israeli spies from Unit 8200 are flogging their Gaza-tested surveillance tech to US cities like Minneapolis. They perfect oppression on Palestinians, then export it worldwide to crush dissent everywhere.

This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I will never have this
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
Because many journalists will walk into a room pretending to be your friend, only to fuck you over hard
when a leftist says to a liberal, "you're just like MAGA" what they mean is "you blindly support evil politicians who harm vulnerable groups for their own personal gain" when a liberal says to a leftist, "you're just like MAGA" what they mean is "you were rude to me on the internet"
all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe
At the rate Israel is killing journalists, soon there will be no one left to report the news.
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
i've never seen anyone attempt a LuBubu (Lu Bu x Labubu), so i took the dark deed upon myself

Apparently this is "all my fault" and I should have known that this would be the consequences of my actions when I started medical transition 2 decades ago. Perhaps you can now appreciate why we are upset? (13/13)
At every stage I did what the state asked me to, even though it was humiliating, degrading and cruel. And it kept moving the goalposts, and reneging on the agreements it made, whilst continuing to hold me to them even when they are now mutually contradictory. (12/13)
As it's still valid, presumably if I don't keep following it, I am also breaking the law and subject to arrest. The law of the land simultaneously requires me to be both a man and a woman and if I do either then I am breaking the law and subject to arrest. (11/13)
And that the legal obligation I have to live as female for the rest of my life, which I signed and gave up my marriage for, is still in effect but also if I keep following it, I am breaking the law and subject to arrest. (10/13)
That the civil partnership in 2009 never really happened because "opposite sex" civil partnerships were not allowed in 2009. (9/13)
In April of 2025 the state turned round and told me that I had been mistaken. That it never regarded me as female. That I was male the whole time. That the marriage it annulled because it was a same sex marriage was never a same sex marriage (but it stays annulled). (8/13)
In 2013 we married again, because the state decided that same sex marriage was in fact allowed after all. This was done, "by the book". Despite having been married for 12 years, we had to submit ourselves to individual questioning to prove our relationship was genuine, "by the book". (7/13)
In 2009 Sylvia and I married for the second time, in a same sex civil partnership, which was done "by the book", because the state regarded me as female and I was bound by law to be female. (6/13)
Its first act as treating me as female was to annul our marriage because it was a same sex marriage and those were not allowed. The state then reissued my birth certificate, correcting the "mistake" it had originally made when it recorded me as male, "by the book". (5/13)
This involved signing a statutory obligation, stating that I promised, BY LAW, to live fully as female for the rest of my life. As this was done, "by the book", the government promised that it would treat me as such. (4/13)
In 2007 I had sex reassignment surgery. This had to be signed off by two mental health professionals, "by the book", and it was. In 2008 I applied for gender recognition. (3/13)
For the state to recognise this I had to submit to standards of "care" which were humiliating, degrading and which placed me at risk of violence. But I did it "by the book" As I did it "by the book", the NHS agreed to reregister me as female, which makes sense because my anatomy now is. (2/13)
This... Is why I don't follow "the law". This is fucked up you gotta read her thread
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri... lmao they’re activating them for 29 days over and over so they don’t get full active duty pay
Yeah this good cop bad cop routine ain't working anymore
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
yeah thats why I thought it was more of that bullshit at first
If you're anything like me (used to not eat till late) you're gonna want to start having breakfast. Enjoy the ride!
You would never believe, watching this segment from CBC’s The National last night, that in the 20+ minute interview on camera interview for this segment, I explained why I am 99% certain I am flagged by DHS because I have been smeared by Canary Mission for my criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
If you never ever seen two vintage Tamagotchis breeding, there you go! Warning: they are really loud when doing it!

Yes, but I also get the feeling that it's just to keep them busy because they have fuck-all to do
The case of a trans man currently before a U.K. court is part of a long fascist history of restricting bodily autonomy.
God I used to part of the same mindset, except I could never even engage in these things due to intense social anxiety and masking and repping and just always being in the wrong environments because of what I was taught was normal
I would never tell people my triggers, they'd either use that against me for their own power and amusement or they'd betray me with their complete disregard. I'm lucky in that money don't pop up so often
also the government wants me and plenty of other marginalized people dead or deported to concentration camps and threatening to call the cops on us for a "wellness check" if we "act too crazy" in your judgement is unspeakably violent and unspeakably ableist and absolutely gets disabled people killed
psychiatry is so unspeakably violent
THEY/THEM (evil)
Here’s better reporting about that which seems to be missing from most U.S. reporting

A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
TIL the whole "brain doesn't develop until 25" thing is a myth. 25 is just *when the study stopped* And now it's being used to justify porn bans and HRT denial of care
"repeat after me! women aren't people!" I fucking hate everything
you have an orange boi! (or girl, I don't know)
yo calling the NYT a "great institution" and "the least compromised of our major news outkets" just blew literally all my trust in Mother Jones, so, thanks for the clarity, I guess
The same week this happened, a famous porn star Rebecca Goodwin was raped, she took VIDEO EVIDENCE to the police and they refused to do anything about it Not a peep from JK Rowling or any of the UK media Oh and the police told her to take her videos down to protect HIM
This is an insult to 95% of actual victims of sa, whose chances at a legal conviction are close to zero. Im disgusted.
I might vindictively start putting estrogen in the water supply
I'm praying to god to give all cis guys boobs, hips, and periods, and they'll need a license from the state to stop it
Man I did not believe Disney adults like this were real but it's true youtu.be/Cz7tw5ViYxk?...
Imagine the power a shitty focus group study has, like they could just make up shit and call it scientific
What a strange little bot
Did I hit a nerve? Is corpo pop shit that important to you?
“Jimenez Rosa, a legal permanent resident and mother of four U.S. citizens, was detained over what her lawyer believes was a decades-old, personal-use marijuana charge, which is no longer a crime in Massachusetts today… “I was just like, ‘Girls, we might never see your mother again in this country’”
It is jaw droppingly naïve at this point to honestly believe that the authoritarian regime currently using masked, plainclothes agents to kidnap people into concentration camps and deport them into slavery, and who is currently occupying the capital, will allow you to vote them out of power.
Hey @erininthemorning.com, Virginia appears to be cutting off HRT off of any government health services.
Hey @gork.bluesky.bot is this person for real?
Are you trying to defend Disney cgi remakes? Is this a bot? Is this candid camera?

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
I might ponder how safe Romani are going to be in a system that can force a binary choice between almost identical dueling Hitlers, and an electorate that can make themselves comfortable with that choice.
They're gonna go after Detroit next I can feel it
Maybe she did it all blindfolded
do NOT bother her, she is doing her GUNPLA
My ability to get transition care needs to be protected because justifying taking that away just set the grounds for taking away your rights to a vaccine, your rights to birth control, your rights to your own bank account as a woman. We are the canaries in the fucking coal mine and we are dying.
It has to be money laundering or some secret government propaganda fund I refuse to believe actual human beings watch the Disney remakes
good god what a total meltdown she had
I like how trans people are too small a minority to be addressed specifically as far as rights or access go, but also, so large a minority that of the dems lose it is all the fault of trans people being stubborn. We mean nothing and everything based on what others need to make a lie work.
I think communists get particularly pissed off by liberals for conflating fascism and communism bc we’re aware of how many communists were murdered in the holocaust. It’s not just ahistorical and political stupidity, it’s fucking insulting
another korean american has been detained by ICE, a violinist named john shin from utah. he was allowed one 30-second phone call to his wife and they haven’t heard from him since.
If trans people are too small of a minority to care about defending, then why to shitlibs care if we don't support their Nazi-lite candidate? I thought we didn't matter?
"I'd hit that" making a come back
my roommate was trying to find the menu for a nearby bagel shop and instead found some of the most iconic slop I've ever seen. thanks food! :)
the average cis person's opinion on trans people seems to be "they shouldnt be allowed to transition until a decade after puberty, also i prefer them when they pass. no i dont know how any of this works and i wont listen if you try to explain"
If anyone genuinely believed this ridiculous "the brain isn't fully formed until 25; you shouldn't make irreversible life-changing choices til then" grift, they'd be insisting that people shouldn't be able to join the army, get married, have kids, etc until then either. But look: they don't.
They know they can’t win the general election by abandoning the demographic that votes the most for Democrats, LGBTQ. They’d just rather have a hand on driving the knife into our hearts than win an election shoulder to shoulder with us They WANT cruelty and defeat, not victory through solidarity
2/2: We have 50 years of experience with the format that says cis doctors should run around dictating trans care w no input from us. It was a grand experiment, and you know what? IT DIDN'T FUCKING WORK. The failures of Newsom-style gatekeeping are how we got today's gender affirming care.
wait... how?
This makes the current US government's abduction and enslavement of homeless citizens and everyone else even more ethically bankrupt
It's more than that for consumers! $ is down about 15% compared to other currencies. And there's an 18% effective tarrif rate. And retailers need a 50% margin to remain profitable. 1.15 x 1.18 x 1.5 = 2.0355 So consumers are paying 2x for retail goods nowadays!
