I see tech men have rebranded part-time working as "fractional" to distinguish it from the kind of thing women do

About trans rights:

They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.

When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.

So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.

Coffee.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility. In a time when more and more trans people are being pushed into invisibility for safety, especially in light of the UK's Supreme Court ruling, as we see more attacks to push us out of fully participating in society, whilst at the same time too few trans voices are actually present in the rooms making those decisions. We need to reclaim our visibility, and the safety to be visible. I'm going to continue to do my part (as deputy leader of the opposition here in Manchester) and resist those who want to see me disappear.
Hey cis people: instead of going "ohhh woooow you people are soooooo braaave" while forgetting to cancel your HBO Max subscription or whatever, why not participate in today's most delicious of festivities?

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!
We're everywhere and we're cool.

Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

Solidarity with the trans community on this International Trans Day of Visibility, and every day, here in the US, and around the world ✊

It's #transdayofvisibility and I would not presume that my opinion *matters* -- but it appears we're in a time where everybody should make this clear: trans rights are human rights, I support my trans friends and fellow creators. Everyone deserves the right to flourish as human beings.
