I love it when the USOPC puts out changes that put trans and non-binary athletes in danger!
The notes reflect that they’re making this change because of the 7/7/25 executive order #usopc #ussafesport #usafencing

Even self-care can turn into another stressful job. This is just a little reminder to take the pressure off when you can. It’s okay to just be sometimes. 🐾

Feeling dysphoric about your height? Change units!

For example: Don’t like being 6’? BOOM! You’re 5’12” now!

Throws some people for a loop, but that’s part of the fun!

Interviewer: “What do you say to trans kids who are starting their transition?”

Zohran Mamdani: "We're gonna make this a city that doesn't just protect trans kids, but also celebrates and cherishes them."

i also think we should shame the not caring voters into caring btw.
I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The FTC is seeking public comment about gender affirming care in order to go after providers and restrict access. Share your stories instead of how this care has helped you and how it is life saving.

We need to counteract their false narratives. Please share!

Breaking: Puerto Rico appears to be about to pass into law a bill that would ban transgender care up to the age of 21, which would be devastating for trans people on the island, given they cannot as easily travel to get care elsewhere.

A 16 year old trans girl attempted suicide on a bridge. Fortunately, concerned friends manage to save her by contacting emergency services who stopped her from jumping.

Users on X spent the following days making memes mocking her and hoping she killed herself.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.
🧵
I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.

Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.
#Trans folks in the US who are reapplying for their passport to be fixed. Don't bother. Just had an emergency appointment today (I travel on the 30th) and they cannot issue me a corrected #passport. All decisions regarding this 'issue' are on hold until they receive guidance from the head office.

Hey, everybody. This might be controversial (but then again it's a response to something equally controversial)

Some of you saw me post earlier with a raised eyebrow about a journalist who apparently took lots of images from protests yesterday and assembled them into a big collection...

also friendly reminder apropros of nothing:

don't say anything online you wouldn't want read back to you in a courtroom.

social media is not for talking about doing illegal things, and i would advise not doing that, especially not posting about it on social media.

"ACAB Includes the Bathroom Police" would be a good shirt.
I've been deleting comments from the bathroom police but I am annoyed that people pretend to care about the safety of women when they literally elected a rapist felon president. No one is falling for your lies. We know you don't care about women. Stop pretending. It's pathetic. You're pathetic.
