Transphobic rot has truly spread and taken root in the minds of the media because they're trying to make "social contagion" stick for every issue from menopausal women who want hormone treatments to the right-wing demographic panic. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a tranny.

I just hit six months on hrt a couple weeks ago. Thanks for this, for your writing and sharing--I know my worry is mostly transitioning at this time and place (rural-ish TX), but this helps me (and many others, I am sure) feel less alone in it all. Hugs and appreciation ♥️

Throatsmoker Barney told me to go away and bother my mom. Creepy dino who creepily knew my name and who my mom was-got out there, sang his 50-ish% of the song, danced a little, and said "only you can prevent forest fires" as he left. 0/10. Nightmare fuel.

Friend's dad had him watch the intro. Learn 50-ish percent of the song. But I was five. What i comprehended, what is forever imprinted in my brain, is Barney, putting a lit cigarette deep down his throat in the hallway on my way back from the bathroom. And throatsmoke Barney knew. My. Name.

Anything related to Barney, but for a specific reason. I was 5-ish. At a friend's bday. What i *didn't know* was my friend's dad rented a Barney costume but couldn't fit. So they got some liquor in my dad and talked him into it. He had no idea what barney was about. So. . .

Yep. The goal of anti-porn laws isn't to stop people from seeing pornography. It's to create a class of speech that's legally suppressible, and then apply it to dissent.

The Heritage Foundation laid out how they were going to rescind Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, by first targeting trans people's participation in sport. Capitulating on the human rights of transgender people is catastrophically falling at the first hurdle.

this is something I've been wondering too. while I have no evidence of coordination, it's definitely suspicious that so many Dem candidates not only waited until after the primaries to come out with anti-trans positions, but all did so within a week of each other

With James Talarico's most recent betrayal of trans people- saying he'd vote for a national ban on gender affirming surgeries for minors- it's prudent to remind an idiot electorate that almost all gender affirming surgeries performed on minors go to kids who aren't trans.

I hate that I have to re-up this today. as I detail in this piece, abandoning trans rights is not only immoral, but it's also BAD POLITICS for Dems, as it will turn away their own pro-LGBTQ base without winning over a single new voter: www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

Heat. Kills. AC is not some kind of fancy luxury for rich people, it is a lifesaving health intervention. Heat is an especially big problem in low-quality housing (like...what poor people can afford) and for people who work outside and need to cool down at night to avoid things like kidney injury.

Want to halt aging, stop divorce and increase national security? The Trump administration seems to believe hormones can do all of that.
