This is important! Markey is running for reelection against a “generational change” Democrat whose position on trans rights is cynical wishy-washiness. It matters that his response hasn’t been to “moderate his position.”
Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

CBP changes procedures for airline passengers with “X” passports – Papers, Please!
CBP regulations require would-be airline passengers to identify as “M” or F”. These regulations were never changed, even when CBP was accepting “X” gender markers.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?

RHETORIC [Heroic: Failure] - Alright, here we go. We're devoting all your available brain cells to coming up with a question about communism. Scratch that, to coming up with *the* question about communism, the alpha and omega of communism questions, and that question is:
1. - (Whisper.) "Are women bourgeois?"

this is exactly why the language of exclusion never fucking changes.
look at the way pro-segregationists talked, and you won't be able to tell if they're trying to keep black women or trans women out of bathrooms. it's all the fucking same.

They argue who is and who is not a woman in tune with the nation state's view on which women it wants to be wifed up and impregnated. It's why they degender both Black cis women (and brown cis women in general) and trans women. We are not doing the imperial role, so we can't be women like them.

better yet, consider unsubscribing from HBO/Max the week before her show comes out (& if you rejoin, wait until the HP season is over). it's not enough to *not* watch it – HBO needs to know it will hurt their bottom line if they continue producing it
if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

Androphilic trans women are not gay men, or vice versa. But there's something homoousian about our social locations and oppression.
"Homosexual" is a relatively modern construction. Transmisogyny and anti-effeminacy, though, are very old.

This is also why gay communities and other environments in which there's frequent sexual contact between "males" usually have implicit or explicit systems for working out gender hierarchy and proximity to masculinity. "Which one is the man?"

I promise I'll gussy it up in dense academic writing so you can all cite it without being embarrassed, but "IF YOU TAKE IT UP THE ASS YOU'RE A WOMAN, FAGGOT" has been a pretty core component of patriarchy and (trans)misogyny for a long, long time, in many, many cultures.

I feel like when a fascist government's pushing for reinforcing the nuclear family, tearing down discrimination protections, using abortion restrictions to force women into dependency, etc., it's time to recognize that civil rights don't eliminate that heterosexuality is about structural oppression.
