It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...

I'm just thinking about how Mamdani talks (and defends) trans people for two minutes more than the democrats did at the last convention. And the video is only two minutes and five seconds long.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

This is the same Netflix that Musk wants to cancel over it being too woke, with too many trans positive depictions.

If, as you get older, you find yourself thinking that "kids today" are lazy or entitled or unwilling to work or just generally deficient in some special way they weren't when you "were that age," congratulations! You're not just an old human being, you're one of the oldest stereotypes in history.

Well, Newsom has a great opportunity to help homeless trans people right now by signing a bill that would help combat anti-LGBTQ discrimination in state homelessness programs that we reported on, AB 678!

And many other bills that help all trans people. Go yell at him!
