hi, cis folks!

today, congress votes on 2 bills —HR498 & HR3492—one bans medicaid funds for providers of trans youth care; the other criminalizes that care, imposing penalties including jail.

either one passing destroys lives. we need you to call & tell your rep to vote no.

That old stick about the Roman Empire, and how the actual sign of the collapse was a bridge falling down and nobody coming to fix it.

Because nobody likes the Labour Party’s leaders; nobody ever wanted what they were selling, and the national press inflicted them upon the public regardless. And because they have spent the last five years telling their own supporters they are scum while pandering to Reform voters, who hate them.

If you live in Bristol, love horror and want to support local businesses, please consider doing some of your Christmas shopping at The Haunted Bookshop in Stokes Crofts.

You may have seen Monika at some of our events and her shop is a wonderful sanctuary for those looking to find their people.

Transphobia is misogyny is nationalism: a mandated, enforced sorting of the state's 'reproductive assets' from those granted the agency and right to exploit them.

The abuse of trans children is about this compliance, about upholding the patriarchal sorting of humans by reproductive role.

The pervasive patriarchal attitude that queer children must be surveilled, abused, and denied all autonomy in order to "correct" them into conforming with their assigned reproductive role is exactly what the GC movement, in manifestos like Shrier's "Irreversible Damage", is peddling.
An autobiographical essay about anti-trans child conversion therapy and the place of queer children under patriarchy.

Even if you "don't use the skin" or "will kill anyone using the skin on sight", playing the game is allowing kickback to JK Rowling in one way or another

Make this licensing deal wholly not worth it

I know it sucks to give up a game you like to play but if enough ppl do it,

Everybody wants to be a girl.

Some people are just strong enough to resist it. That's what it means to be a man. To be strong enough to not allow yourself to behave like a girl. To be tough enough to not be hurt by the mandatory masculinity.

And i was a failure because I couldn't help it.

It's fucking wild the amount of lying the GC movement does. If they were involved in antifascist stuff, they'd probably leave quickly because trans people are the backbone of it in the UK.

The comorbidity of neo-Nazism and transphobia isn't just a kind of "one bad belief leads to all bad beliefs". At its core, it's the same belief: belief in a rigid societal order where your station at birth determines your future, your role, and how you must labor.

A belief in biodestiny, in short.
Today, I examine how the boundaries of the Nation are co-constituted by race, disability, and sexuality, but also---notably---gender and control over reproduction.

And ask everyone to stop saying transfeminism is 'imperialist'. For fuck's sake.

If you continue to play Fortnite after the Harry Potter collab, that tells me that you are OK with trans genocide. At that point, just get the fuck away from me, I want nothing to do with you. You are either a selfish piece of shit or a Nazi, or maybe even both. Fuck. You.

Actually, the fascists have the right idea about one minority in particular, and it's not like I hate that minority personally or anything, but really we should just let the fascists win this one and then by giving them the win we'll take away their power and can save the other, better minorities.
