I wrote a thread earlier today (before even reading this story, actually) about how commonly the “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story are actually procedural distortions made by people in positions of power who are invested in disbelieving her:

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

The Salem Witch Trials are a pretty compelling example of why we shouldn’t let religious superstition override evidence and reason. So perhaps we can understand why a pastor might not want students learning about them.

A woman was drugged, raped, and sexually trafficked to members of a fraternity. Two of the men involved were expelled. Five were given the opportunity to mitigate suspension by *writing an essay.* The dozens of other men who knew this was happening and said nothing? You already know the answer.

It’s so triggering (and I don’t use that word lightly) to be repeatedly ignored, dismissed, patronised and lied to by politicians and policy makers because it reflects how Alice and I were treated when she needed help and answers whilst she was alive. Trans people are enduring state sanctioned abuse

“this government wants trans people and their families to feel safe and accepted in our society.” I think I can speak for most trans people and their families when I say, they don’t and increasingly they aren’t, precisely because of Labour’s decisions. How can they believe this stuff they type?

These prevention campaigns can have a really negative impact on those left behind. And they detract from the real systemic issues that need addressing that we know protect against suicide: equal access to healthcare, housing, employment, food, warmth and justice for all of us.

I’ve been very quiet during #suicidepreventionawarenessweek because it’s shit being constantly reminded of all the things I might have done to save Alice. The “check-in” narrative is particularly distressing. I get that its’s appealing, plenty of people have an anecdote that it saved their life…

Cis people see trans people upset about their rights being stripped as “performative outrage” because they often can’t understand what it’s like to genuinely give a fuck about trans people. Their allyship is performative and therefore so must be our anger over attacks against us.

Fellow cis folks, do not, under any circumstances, vote for anyone like Kaptur either. If you want people to believe that voting has a role to play in defeating fascism then Dems need to find out that going fascist makes elections unwinnable for them.

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

Ratings and ad revenue are no longer the model. Billionaires have won the game of monopoly. Elon Musk can pay twice what twitter was worth and then collapse its business model and ad revenue but it doesn't matter if it's a propaganda tool to make people vote in more pro-corporate fascist regimes

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

One of the venues that refused to allow Macklemore to perform is Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, which is run by Hillsborough county. They did allow Kanye to perform even after he released a song called "Heil Hitler" and sold swastika merch. In case you thought this was about antisemitism.

It really hasn't dawned on liberals that for trans people in some races, there is no meaningful difference between who wins. Kansas and North Carolina have Dem governors and they're some of the worst for trans people in the country. So why bother to vote for a transphobic Dem?

Seems like a good time to re-up this post. It is a list of 26 Dems at the statewide/national level that have made anti-trans statements or voted anti-trans policies. I do not advocate for abstaining from all of the ones on this list, but if the worst offenders who call us “biological men,” I do.
