"And though in your winter you deny your spring, yet spring, reposing within you, smiles in her drowsiness and is not offended."
-Kahlil Gibran
A reminder to all the hangers on still using the wretched bird site: Twitter was never a public square. It was the private property of a for-profit business that was beholden to no one other than its shareholders. Now it has been taken over by a sociopath. Get over it. Move on!

"How did you find out you were trans?"

"The usual way. When I was still an egg I told a fae my deadname and they got really mad when it had no power over me."

we did it guys, we created a new gilded age

"By 2021, the top 1% income share has reached an all-time high of 27.4% much higher than the previous record of 23.9% in 1928"

Bad People are going after trans healthcare for all ages in Tennessee, Texas, and Florida now. Each of the three bills uses a different method, but the effect of each is to try to ban trans healthcare.

But they're just... so, so fucking stupid. These bills *will not work*.

TN and FL are trying to make it too expensive for insurers to continue to cover trans healthcare, in an attempt to get them to remove coverage.

But insurers can't. They're compelled by the ACA.

As others have said many times already, if you ever wondered what you would have done in early 1930s Germany, you're doing it right now.

yesterday was the 8 year anniversary of when "transgender social contagion" was first proposed. to mark the occasion, I've written two essays! here's the 1st one, compiling all the evidence against the theory in one place. it summarizes points I've made in past "social contagion" pieces, plus adding new ones.

no-paywall link, pls share & give it lots of "claps" (up to 50) so others see it!

@steeznson @arossp This is the dominant view of NYT opinion pieces. Stop acting like anti-trans views aren't constantly being printed and shoved into everyone's face. The Times goes out of its way to exclude trans people and pro-trans voices. Even when they do, they bury it. Example https://www.readtpa.com/p/why-i-signed-the-nyt-letter-and-you
Why I Signed the NYT Letter (And You Should, Too)

If you care about journalism, if you care about fairness, and you care about the truth, it should matter to you that "the paper of record" is constantly lying about trans people.

One weird trick

Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban “gender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.

Just for trans kids.

You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to “protect the children” like they claim.

Give me a break.
