Greg Abbott is in my city tonight for a political rally, but I received a text from @ginafortexas.bsky.social saying she’s a 43%. Abbott is at 46%. Let’s go Texas. Vote. #txlege

In Texas, over 81% of survivors of domestic violence in high-risk situations experienced strangulation. 65% experienced it multiple times. Only 17% of cases were reported to EMS. #texas

When we understand masculinity on a spectrum that honors the dance with femininity and authenticity, it becomes difficult to navigate. Surface level is safe. Complexity requires depth, which produces uncertainty. (2/2) #men

Many young men gravitate towards red-pill ideology & the manosphere, because hyper-masculinity provides certainty and surface level engagement. When we box masculinity in by definining what it's not (feminine, emotional, vulnerable, etc.), the performance is simple. (1/2) #men

What message would it send to survivors if Ghislaine Maxwell receives clemency. Her voice: credible. Surivors voice: unreliable. It would illustrate how the system prioritizes voices of those in power or proximity to it over the voices exposing the harm men cause.

@ginafortexas.bsky.social East Texans want to hear from you. I understand this is a deeply red region & may not seem like an ideal campaign stop, but many people (especially those you provide representation for) would value your presence and voice. Let me know if I can help organize. #txlege

I want to call you in for an opportunity to talk to the girls and women in your life. Ask how they’re feeling right now. Listen without interrupting, debating, or trying to fix it. Believe what they tell you. Let their reality shape how you understand what’s happening and not other men. #men

Silence is not neutral. It is the reason men like Epstein were able to operate openly, and the reason others will continue if nothing changes.

Transgender people experience disproportionately high rates of domestic violence and homicide. When fleeing abuse, shelters are often their only safe option. By excluding trans survivors, SB 8 forces them to make an impossible choice: remain with an abuser or face homelessness #txlege

Every survivor deserves the right to safety. Every survivor deserves access to shelter, free from discrimination. By denying these basic protections to trans folks, SB 8 endangers lives, contradicts federal law, and risks essential funding that supports countless Texans in crisis. #txlege

The Trump administration is set to open the largest immigration detention camp in the country, at the Fort Bliss military base in El Paso, Texas. Using military resources to detain immigrants harkens back to the darkest chapters of American history, and does nothing to make us safer.

Gender policing traps men in rigid roles, it oppresses women, and greatly harms trans & gender expansive people. It serves no one in that it stifles autonomy & human freedom. #gender

Congressman Moran & Representative Alders both echoed the sentiment that House Dems "abandoned" their voter base. If I were betting, I'd wager neither one of them spoke directly to any democratic constituents to understand their view. #txlege

Patriarchy shields men from accountability, and this aversion to acknowledging what toxic masculinity is (aspects of masculine socialization that are harfmul to others and men themselves) is, IMO, another way to tip-toe around the problem. #masculinity

Calling attention to toxic masculinity isn't synonmous with saying masculinity is toxic, and I think it is important that we recognize and honor this. 'Cause if not, IMO, it is similar to a "not all men" argument which seeks to divert the attention elsewhere. #masculinity

HB 229, defining biological sex. 620 people testified the bill, 11 for the bill, 609 were against, and the bill passed. Texas republicans constantly talk about doing things "for Texans" even though they repeatedly deny hearing or illustrate an unwillingness to listen to the voice of Texans. #txlege

If I said, someone was engaging in "toxic behavior" (dishonesty, passive-aggressiveness, etc.) you would understand that I am not insinuating or implying that all behavior is toxic. In the same way, calling attention to toxic masculinity is not saying masculinity is toxic.

"Wilson’s theology is built upon a belief that men are granted dominion over women, a position rooted in his interpretation of biblical patriarchy. Wilson argues ..that a wife's well-being is under his authority. He asserts that women’s role is to submit to the leadership of their husbands."
