boosting the Cisgender Women Against Bathroom Bans petition again, please sign and share if you missed it the first time around! It’s at a little under 8,500 signatures now and we would love to try to get it to 10,000 by the weekend! actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...
On November 20th, Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a federal trans bathroom ban
under the title of the "Protecting Women's Private Spaces Act." While this began as an attempt to bar newly-elected Representative Sarah McBride of Delaware from using the women's restroom in her own place of work as a legislator - which is unacceptable on its own merits - it will not end there. Speaker Johnson's decree in support of Mace's proposal reiterated the same argument: that this is an act designed to protect women, to keep us safe, because "women deserve women's only spaces." To introduce this legislation on the International Transgender Day of Remembrance - a day
commemorating trans people worldwide who have died due to hate and violence - is
appalling. To pretend Mike Johnson and the House GOP care about the safety of women, given the candidate they just elected and the Cabinet nominations he continues to make, is beyond naive.Over the past several years, as trans bathroom bans have been enacted in communities across the country, we have seen firsthand the cascading negative effects. No one is made safer by this. Certainly trans youth are not, as we saw firsthand from the shocking, violent death of Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old nonbinary youth in Oklahoma who complied with exactly such a bathroom restriction and was brutally beaten by classmates in February of this year. But even the women and girls these bills purport to protect are at increased risk; this legislation empowers individuals with narrow definitions of gender presentation to appoint themselves bathroom cops, and harass anyone they do not believe is publicly performing the role of womanhood correctly.Lesbians and butch women, women who are unusually tall, women who have short hair, women who wear baggy or "masculine" clothes, women of color in professional sports whose bodies are critiqued for their strength, even simply women who wear baseballs caps: all of this is sufficient evidence for increased harassment. This is not even a new phenomenon; there are news stories of exactly these cases going back to the bathroom bans of 2016. It will not just be Rep. McBride who suffers for this; it will be your own congressional staff - anyone who is queer, trans, nonbinary, gender-nonconforming, or simply does not fit the stereotype of female physical appearance - whose workplace harassment you would be enabling if Mace's proposal is allowed to pass.The people who make women's restrooms unsafe are people like Nancy Mace, who are banking on the silent complicity of other cisgender women to support the lie that the majority of us feel safer and more comfortable with trans people pushed out of our spaces. The end goal of trans bathroom bans is not limited to who uses which bathroom; it is a way to test the public's compliance with eradicating trans and nonbinary people from public spaces altogether. In the wake of the recent presidential election loss, it seems clear that it is also a test of the moral backbone of the Democratic Party, and whether we will choose to abandon our progressive values for the sake of expedience and permit more Nex Benedicts to suffer.

I expected to wake up exhausted, despondent. but I looked up and for the first time in my life I thought, "there's no one left to look to. it's just us." so I am shocked at how I feel: furious, clear-eyed, galvanized. we who saw this from the beginning, for better or worse, it's our time to lead.

Dear NPR, your headline is an off-color joke. And if something is “at times racist and misogynistic,” you can just remove the “at times.”

this is a cat. glorious, yes? most people have never seen one. that's because no cat has ever been captured in a photo before today. a lot of folks think they know what cats look like, but actually they've only seen a mountain, or a book. common mistakes.
an orange and white cat is lounging on a white comforter. he looks unimpressed but also a little surprised. an interesting combination. like getting a gift certificate to red robin. you're not displeased, but it's kind of weird, right?
