I’m beyond furious. I’m glad @motherjones.com framed it like this—it’s getting buried under other ledes bc imo ppl are more bound to ignore trans news. This veto stinks and it’s such a pander my god

Something about an extreme breakup just calls for me to be listening to Tammy Wynette rn. Also her version of “Gentle on My Mind” is completely different than others wtf youtu.be/26VxBd52wyU?...

The harassment from men has been consistently stuff like “that is a big ugly woman” and the lez cruisers are very, very happy to see me

The dichotomy of being both cruised by hot lez ppl and also being harassed by men in this outfit is interesting

Hot dyke, in a black ball cap with a pink triangle with the trans symbol within in black is standing for a selfie holding an Op Ivy tote, wearing a leather vest and black jeans and shoes and a riveted belt. Her hair is long, her skin is white, and she wears red glasses.

Hey #oakland #sfbay and #berkeley — I’m in the East Bay all month and could use to borrow a vehicle while I’m here—I have a ton of running around to do. Does anyone have a car they need babysat or that they’re not using? Lmk? I will pay insurance too!

I talk a lot with my older or similarly aged dyke and trans fam about how we are a living book of memory. I’ve lost a ton of people just in my 12 years of being out and knowing how many of my friends cared for trans ppl dying in the 90s or watching them have to go into hiding is so raw

This was my grandfather’s favorite view and place to sit in New York. I haven’t been here in maybe 15 plus years. Thinking about him today and all the lives he touched as a doctor and how one can find a touch of peace even in the hardest times. His name was Philip Sechzer. Look him up.

1) it's not gender-affirming care when it's being foisted upon ppl w/o their consent. this policy is *invasive* 2) anti-trans GAC legislation is *also invasive* as it's designed to take away control of our own bodies. LET'S CALL IT INVASIVE! LET'S PROMOTE BODILY AUTONOMY RATHER THAN MAKING GAC JOKES

90 years ago congress voted to fund new deal programs for the Dust Bowl on the day a dust storm reached DC & blackened the sky. it turned the tide bc there was skepticism there. much of North America is now experiencing what we have in Cali. maybe something will change. this was preventable.

So as a queer trans elder, what do I do when a trans girl who is utterly gorgeous and beautiful and blooming on HRT tells me she feels like detransition is the better option? (babe if you’re reading this I’m not calling you out I’m just calling in support)

Just a reminder that if you’re a living queer over ~40, you’re a freaking survivor, no matter when you came out. We are now, many of us, well past the ages so many of our fallen ancestors weren’t able to reach. Ageism has no place in queer liberation or feminism. Stamp it out.

First night in LA: watched sunset thru a filthy windshield in echo park; got coffee with a gaggle of sober transes in k-town & discussed queer cinema; ate baller al pastor at a taco stand on Sunset; went up to the top of a hill & made out with a friend in front of the skyline. 10/10.
