am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality? is that allowed?

The history of civilization is apparently the history of alienating/otherizing trans women and refusing to listen to us when we explain how shit's going to go sideways and then hating us because shit goes sideways despite not listening to us trying to warn everyone.

if a cis man comes within 100 meters of an estrogen pill he is liable to get violent for fear of contamination. yet he expects transmascs to be fine with forcible estrogenization, even being forced to carry unwanted pregnancies, to accept it as the default state of their existence. 'not a priority'

you expect us to be fine with having our body autonomy stripped away, being forcibly detransitioned, being shut out of society at every level, being made homeless at astonishingly high rates, being physically and sexually assaulted on the regular. you would never accept these conditions for yourself

the majority of cis people would rather die than be forced to undergo unwanted transition. cis men in particular would go on killing sprees to protest being forcibly injected with estrogen. and yet this is the condition they expect trans people--trans kids especially--to accept as a given

In the case of House races, the difference between a slight Democratic majority and a supermajority is politically negligible when the Senate is almost certainly going to be controlled by a thin margin in either direction. Punishing anti-trans Democrats in the midterms is exactly the time to do it.

No one fantasizes more about murdering LGBTQ people than the right. They try to feign the pretense that it's what Muslims would do but in reality, it's a projection of what the right wishes they could do.

i call this "neoteny of the oppressed" btw. because children are the archetypal objects of legitimate coercion (violence, authority, control, etc) any vulnerable group can have their autonomy stripped by first linking them to children & childlikeness. the comparison legitimizes any act of coercion

The modern conservative project explicitly supports impregnating children. The trans panic, anti-abortion politics, fearmongering about "over-medication" and disability support: it all comes back to a patriarchal freakout about losing control over who they see as their reproductive property.

When you analyze transmisogyny with any degree of rigor, you quickly find that trans women aren't seen or treated as men at all. We're called men to position us as threats, as brutes, as "people who don't experience misogyny" even as people treat us misogynistically, as wretches beneath contempt.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

Ashley Brouillette told the Portland Press Herald in a phone interview Thursday afternoon that her ex-husband called admitting to the shooting and defending his actions. The Press Herald reviewed a screenshot of incoming calls Ashley Brouillette received from her ex-husband’s current wife’s Facebook account on Wednesday.

“He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,” Ashley Brouillette said. “I told him that I was not going to lie for him. And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.”

She said she has seen videos of Brouillette on the scene of the shooting and confirmed that was him on scene, telling him: “nowhere in there does it show that this man charged at you with a car.”

“In his head it’s justified. He’s unusually calm about it,” she said.

Ashley Brouillette told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about his mental health. She said he was abusive in their relationship. She said that she’s been inundated with calls, since reports of Brouillette’s involvement began circulating online, threatening her and her family.

Hence, lawyers trying to draw on Bostock to lend precedential weight to their arguments tried to stretch it to fit onto trans healthcare and sports cases in ways that ceded the underlying point. To do otherwise would have undermined the reasoning in Bostock and rendered its application unpersuasive.

Velma @amlevderit.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

I think cis civil rights lawyers got waaaaaaay too excited by Bostock, thinking that marked some grand victory in LGBT legal equality, failing to recognize that it implicitly baked sex immutability into civil rights law by treating it as the basis against which discrimination could be measured.

One of the more dehumanizing aspects of the BPJ decision is that Kavabaugh avoided using pronouns for Becky for the entirety of the decision and only used her initials. Not a surprise that the credibly accused sexual assaulter doesnt respect a teenage girl.

A screenshot of a legal document discussing West Virginia's "Save Women's Sports Act" and a lawsuit filed by a transgender student, referred to as B. P. J. Several sentences detailing B. P. J.'s gender identity, medical transition, the school's refusal to let her participate on girls' sports teams, and the subsequent lawsuit are highlighted in yellow.

Curious that NYP mentions the hatred toward "Muslims, Jews, and gay people, among others." Given that the Muskite fascists are *yet again* trying to claim the shooters are trans, it might be fitting to specifically mention the manifesto's condemnation of both gay and trans people as race traitors.
