This is the last I’ll say of it for a while: disabled people are constantly expected to tolerate people who claim to be on our side using language that suggests they believe one of the worst things you can be is us.

Well well well, someone said the quiet part out loud
60 Minutes (@60Minutes) on X:

“This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me,” says Dave Lowe, a lifelong conservative Republican who lives near a proposed data center in Texas.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Why did you transition? Right answers only I felt like I grew smaller every day, hiding myself until I'd completely lost sight of who I was. I felt like I was dying, unable to see a future for myself other than non existence, winking out of life Also the mushrooms said "transition or die"

Alt-text: Screenshot of a Bluesky post thread by Pavel (@spavel.bsky.social) doing a cybersecurity-style pronoun joke. The main post says: “Make sure to rotate your pronouns periodically, so that if your gender becomes compromised, attackers can only access it for a short period of time.” It shows 155 reposts, 9 quotes, 631 likes, and 7 saves. Replies continue the bit: one says you should not reuse any of your last 7 pronouns because that is “more secure”; another jokes that replacing a pronoun field with an emailed magic link is not user-friendly for most “gender users”; and a final post says pronouns are written like “he/him” for this reason, quoting someone who adds, “Two factor gender is more secure.” Overall tone is dry nerd humor, mixing trans/pronoun discourse with password-security language.
