When I was a teen, I used to drive my 4-wheeler to the local Buc-ees. Going national stripped its novelty, a literal example of "Everything's Bigger in Texas" that served slightly cheaper ice, sodas, and gas and a quirky beaver. Now it's an extra aggressive bougie travel center.

FIRSTLY as the piece alludes: Loren Rex Cameron’s also-trans and arguably more famous older sister, Cameron, was a I believe fully stealth working model and actress (a la plot of Pose) in the 80s and 90s mostly … I rewatched like I dunno, dozens of TNG episodes, where she appeared as Ensign Kellogg:

It has been 118 years since the Supreme Court ruled the federal government owes tribes water, but Native American communities in northern Arizona are still fighting for their rights to the Colorado River. (Published June)
propublica.org
Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

I think every trans person on this website should drop everything and read this immediately. Some of the worst social media backlash I've had lately has come from trans people who are mad at me for telling trans people not to panic over the current political situation.

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

this is not even a bit new, access to bathrooms especially has been a plank of every marginalized group’s fight for & civil liberties in the past 100+ years and if you’re a person falling for/a candidate messaging on “not in our spaces” right now, we know who you would’ve been in those fights, too.
The history of bathroom segregation and politicization can be traced back centuries. Along with the right to vote, the suffrage movement fought for women (well, cis women) to have access to their own public toilets. Bathrooms were also a core feature of Jim Crow bigotry, with facilities divided between men, women, and "colored" people. Here Black men and women were denied gender-specific facilities, simultaneously conflated and ungendered. While the comparison between cis-only bathrooms and whites-only bathrooms doesn't fully cohere, the struggles are certainly interconnected; there's a clear racialization to how sex is constructed in the public eye, as C. Riley Snorton has chronicled in Black on Both Sides, a history that dives into the degendering of Black women. Meanwhile, Black civil rights groups like the NAACP have fought in support of trans rights over the years.
During the 1970s, opponents of the Equal Rights Amendment used fears that it would mandate unisex toilets to aid their successful campaign to tank the law. Bathroom issues continued during the '80s and '90s during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, when some wanted gay men to be banned from public facilities. Queers, like trans people, weren't considered family-friendly. They were seen as potential groomers or vectors of disease.
There were gains interspersed within these cycles of backlash. The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and the Disabilities Act of 1990 mandated that bathrooms be made accessible towards people with disabilities. And by 2016, there seemed to be enough of a consensus around bathroom access that standing up for trans people's right to pee was a mainstream position.
So how did we get to where we are now? Wedge issues, of course.

I would also like for my siblings that live differently, more loudly, more radically than I do to have the same freedoms and rights as I should have. I am not an exception or a model tranny for cohering in the ways I do. There is and should be no “correct” way to “deserve” rights as a trans person

Apparently statewide Republicans in Texas must have had a polling memo drop in the last 72 hours that basically says: 1) They are losing worse now than they have in almost 30 years and 2) Texas voters still really hate trans people, or at least are uncomfortable being reminded we exist.

"Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women.
