Just a reminder that those denying trans youth human rights are the same people who defend nonconsensual surgeries on intersex kids. This is not about protecting children. It is about defending an archaic gender and sex regime by further scapegoating an already marginalized population.

Trump's Executive Order defines “female” as someone who produces eggs & “male” as someone who produces sperm. "My intersex body, like the bodies of many intersex people, does not produce either gametes, arguably leaving us in legal limbo." @xoxykz.bsky.social www.washingtonblade.com/2025/02/04/m...

My existence as an intersex American was finally acknowledged, then erased four days later

Federal government now defines sex as 'male' and 'female.'

A strong 48 hours: Thursday: United Faculty of ISU rally with a huge turnout. Friday: a tentative agreement is reached, averting a strike. Today the "Hands Off Blo-No" rally with more great turnout!

So, on certain days, Twitch is my favorite Ministry album. Certain their sound really congealed on the next two records, but they were rarely more adventurous or alien sounding than on this album made with the great Adrian Sherwood. #ComparativeListening. youtu.be/n_dwXd0U774?...

There are more serious things to be appalled about about the current horror clowns who are running our country, but perhaps the most annoying is that they remind me of every eugenics-obsessed villain that you couldn't quite take seriously in Resident Evil games. This is determining our future?

So I've been on a deep Roxy Music kick lately, especiallyearly Roxy. I've been listening to the half-speed remasters, and they sound fantastic! I am most obsessed with Stranded, but maybe Countey Life or the first album are my faves. #comparativelistening

Nothing like a picket line to give you political energy and a sense of solidarity! We have been negotiating a contract for a full year. The ISU admin has been dragging its feet. We don't want to strike, but we will if necessary. In solidarity with students and academic workers everywhere

Judge Reyes schools Trump's lawyers on intersex. This makes me happy, not only as an intersex person but as a theorist of gender, sex, and sexuality.

This is happening at Miami University of Ohio--a shift of all faculty to 4/4. I worry it may be the playbook for public universities in the era of Trump. The end if the public research university. www.miamistudent.net/article/2025...

Love seeing the protests at NYU Langone for complying with an illegal executive order from President Trump meant to intimidate hospitals from providing care to trans youth. More to come?
