Despite all the laws and rhetoric and violence, the number of people who identify as trans still continues to increase across the country, every year.
Their attacks are escalating precisely because they are afraid and desperate they have failed so far.

Today for World AIDS day, read our latest article about how one of the biggest opponents to AIDS healthcare, the Catholic Church, is back at it again by banning trans healthcare across their hospital systems.
U.S. Catholic bishops recently banned trans care throughout the church's sprawling healthcare systems.
@davidforbes.bsky.social delves into how this fits the institution's long history of hatred and abuse, a direction that has not changed despite its recent p.r. shifts.

why is no one talking about how the Hivemind clearly has CPTSD (deregulation/breakdowns) and issues with people pleasing and anxious attachment?

ICE isn't fundamentally different lol. Every PD defends ICE and uses the same tactics as them. ICE literally is just federal police.
abolition of police violence isn't based on carve outs and exceptions, it's based on principles and recognition of systemic harms of institutions

Always liked Parker, so this nastiness is rather disappointing.
I’ll always defend trans rights as I have all my career. But I also believe in the First Amendment’s protecting people being wrong.
And that’s where my engagement will respectfully end for the day.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.
A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

TP USA is trying to run a harassment campaign to get a trans TA fired for giving a crappy paper from one of their students a bad grade.
Attempts to fire trans people from jobs should be seen for what they are--violent attacks on our ability to feed ourselves and stay housed because of who we are.
