I made this yesterday to respond to some rando disrespecting Elliot Page. Feel free to use it when encountering bigots in the wild
Appeasement never has and never will work. Adopting the language of those who want to erase us only serves those trying to eradicate us.
And this includes friends, family, partners, coworkers, and politicians btw.
Trans Wonder Woman is such a badass inclusion and wonderful representation. While this specific instance is Nia Nal in Dream Girls # 1 (which has an explanation that I won’t spoil), I really wish we could have a mainline Wonder Woman series where she is Trans. And not just a special issue.
(they were throwing slurs her way and attacked her because she’s trans). There is no equal rights under the law in the US. Not as a Trans person, not as a minority.
It’s Pride month, so I’ll be taking a note from Stormé DeLarverié, Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, and all those who instrumental during the Stonewall Riots and fought for Queer liberation unapologetically. We don’t tolerate “ugliness”, as Stormé would say, against any of our people. 🧵
Couldn’t even wait a few minutes to try to blame Trans people or Muslims… Even though we already know it’s some guy from California according to their own side. Absolute monsters. The whole lot of them.
@pinknews.bsky.social is publishing propaganda to sanitize the image of a raging transphobe who’s harmed trans youth across the UK. Wes Streeting and this Labour government have been incredibly detrimental to trans people. They’ve banned crucial aspects of care for trans youth 🧵
I wish my problems were so easy as to simply not watch a tv show.
As of March 1st, Ireland is collapsing its healthcare for Trans people. Here, they shut down its waiting list despite thousands of people still needing care. Instead of implementing an informed consent model that would relieve this pressure. Congrats on becoming more like the English, Ireland
On that recent European Parliament vote that included recognition of trans women as women. It’s a good step forward and can hopefully lead to meaningful changes. Even if this is non-binding and was to set their priorities as they enter negotiations at the UN Commission on the status of women
And for some, they’re white first and foremost and never bothered to unlearn their racism, homophobia, and all-around bigotry.
NYU Langone is run by cowards. Which is why I’m asking New Yorkers to pressure your representatives to put pressure on NYU. That means contacting governor Kathy Hochul, State AG Leticia James, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Mamdani.
45 mass shootings happened in the US in 2026 alone. 2 of them happened yesterday on the same day, but guess which one you heard about. Countless lives have been lost to this senseless and preventable violence. But vile right-wingers have been using real tragedies, to further hateful agendas
Cenk’s an idiot. No wonder him and Marjorie Green get along so well.
What happened in Tumbler Ridge BC is an absolute tragedy. But that didn’t stop the right wing here from using the same US playbook and using an absence of information during 24 hours to craft a narrative that endangers trans people’s lives.
CW: sui—de in the UK. The Good Law project confirmed that there’s been a surge in trans kids who took their own lives. This was due to violence through policies. Something rarely ackowledged (unless you’re part of a marginalized group), but with very real consequences.
So what’s this all about Epstein, trans people, and this Robert Trivers? Well it’s a whole lot of transphobia. Despite what the right trying to spin this. These communications were about dehumanization and fetishizing of trans people. Nothing about them could be considered in any way “pro” trans.
It is. I mean hell, even Wes Streeting is another example of this
CLARIFICATION AND CORRECTION: While yes Rowling is in the files, there are a lot of assumptions I am making based on circumstantial evidence. And I have to correct that the ex-prince who visited the set of the series did so without a clear indication of an invite.
This also means that a mere mention of someone can spiral into more than what it is. So with some of the files being public, I would say be careful of making definitive statements until it can be vetted in some way.
As well as Jeffrey being apparently known enough to her for people to ask him for an introduction with JK.
JK Rowling is named in the Epstein files. While most of them are just casual mentions, there are two specific relevant ones: Rowling’s team personally invited Epstein after he requested to come see the premiere of the Harry Potter play including a special dinner invitiation in between the two shows.
In some great news, anti-trans hate-group S*xMatters lost twice today in their efforts to exclude and hurt Trans and Queer people. They lost in the UK when the Hight Court blocked their challenge to Hamstead Ponds’ trans inclusion. And the Council of Europe voted to ban “conversion therapy”
The lack of humanity you extend to queer people, is a reflection of your own shortcomings.
Some good news in the US: 12 states led by New York AG Letitia James sue the administration for their anti-trans policies, and DOJ drops demand for medical records of trans youth in LA.
Minnesota is just the start for this tyrannical regime. They will continue and justify anything, including murder, no matter what people do or how peaceful a protest is.
