If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

It is the exact hill to die on. Even if a person were completely self-absorbed, it would still be the hill to die on. Because civil rights are civil rights and Republicans are trying to use this issue to make Dems look weak and distract from the fact that the Republican Party protects pedophiles.
Sorry but this is just not the hill to die on at the moment. Pro-trans rights here but come on guys…

Dying your hair is inherently cool, and everyone has pronouns, it came with your gendered language, so skill issues on their part. Not our fault when presented the ability to choose how they look and present they stuck with the default option and are angry at everyone who didn't.

ICE tried to arrest a Somali woman in Minnesota and protestors de-arrested her by pelting the agents with snowballs.
This is good. We are fighting back. We are getting closer and closer to doing what we must do. ICE acts tough but they don't actually want smoke. Imagine if they weren't snowballs.

republicans believe children should be forced to carry pregnancies to term and should be allowed to be pushed into coercive marriages by their parents because they see children as fundamentally sexually exploitable and i am tired of pretending their transphobia has some other angle

BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Quick PSA: Republicans made tax breaks for billionaires permanent. Permanent! And they exploded the national debt by Trillions to do it.
But saving healthcare for a few years? Republicans say that's too expensive. Nonsensical. Disgraceful. Contemptible.

If you do not support trans people - by actively dedicating your time and money (if you have it) and voice to their cause - you are a failure of morality and humanity and you are not just a bystander but a culpable participant in one of the most violent attempts at eugenics of our time.

My gramma passed away today. She was 103 years old, so its not super unexpected, but I am surprised that something finally took her. Her funeral is on Monday, but I can't be in that town (the same one my parents live in) for 5 days. And it's going to be so busy with all of the siblings (7) coming in
