Violence against women and trans people is worse than previously thought, according to new research released Wednesday from Tulane University and University of California, San Diego. bit.ly/4cKqLnp
The image is a graphic illustrating statistics about violence. The top text states, "Violence against women and trans people is worse than previously thought." Below are two statistics: "61% of women have experienced abuse from a spouse or romantic partner" and "84% of trans and gender-nonconforming people reported experiencing intimate partner violence in their lifetimes." At the bottom, the sources cited are the Newcomb Institute at Tulane University and University of California, San Diego.

“Trump officials had known I was trans,” Julia Curlee writes of her time as an intelligence official staffed to the White House. “This hadn’t been an issue until it was public—and then nothing else I’d done mattered.”

The Wrong Kind of American
The Trump White House needed me—until the fact that I am trans became public.

...the "this is gender-affirming care" meme started w/trans ppl pointing out a double standard: procedures readily accepted/approved for cis ppl are denied to trans ppl. but cis ppl have turned it into a way to mock MAGAs' gender anxieties. maybe instead of mocking them, ACTIVELY SUPPORT OUR RIGHTS

I commented on OMB-2026-0034. It weaponizes “gender ideology” to ban trans care, puts federal research/ed grants under political control, & cancels funding mid-cycle. Deadline Mon 11:59PM. Submit: www.regulations.gov/commenton/OM... #OMB #transadvocacy #scicomm
A graphic with a dark gradient background featuring a large, iridescent holographic diamond illustration in the center. Above the diamond, text reads "PUBLIC COMMENT • OMB-2026-0034". Below the diamond, large bold cream-colored text reads "SPEAK UP BEFORE JULY 13". Underneath that, smaller text reads "The federal grant rewrite that could defund research, healthcare, and civil rights protections."

Emily is 16. This UK doc follows her last football match before a new ban shuts trans girls out of the women's game. At an age when sport should be a foundation for growth, hers is being taken away. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X03t... #transinsport #transyouth

An ad found me on Instagram. It knew exactly what to say to a neurodivergent brain. Then I read their FAQ. See for yourself. Find them [@]catabsolum on Instagram. #neurodivergent #actuallyautistic #AuDHD #transrights #ADHD #ASD #autism
Dark slide with large serif text reading: This ad found me on Instagram. It knew exactly what to say to a neurodivergent brain. Below, a second slide listing RSD content, imposter syndrome, and come find your people as examples of emotionally targeted ad content aimed at neurodivergent people.Dark slide quoting aliceinadultland.com FAQ: Biological women. That's a deliberate choice. A line we're holding on purpose. Below the quote, a note that biological women has no coherent scientific definition and is a political term, not a scientific one.Dark slide quoting a public Instagram comment from catabsolum: We don't engage with or allow gender ideology here. We're protecting this one for the women who need it. Attribution reads public comment on their own post. Footer reads: The FAQ was buried. This was not.Dark slide with large text reading: The rejection is the product. Body text explains ads target trans neurodivergent women with RSD content then exclude them in a buried FAQ. Below, a second slide headed Don't give them your engagement with three actions: screenshot their FAQ, report catabsolum for hate speech, share this before you swipe away.
