So, all this talk from #Trump about protecting women is BULLSHIT! If they really cared about protecting women, they would allow #ReproductiveRights and #BodilyAutomony! All the hate directed at #TransAthletes is not to make cis women safe, it's to make #TransPeople feel UNSAFE! Don't be fooled by the #Fascist regime!!!

The way I see it, the fascists are attacking 3 groups first, so that's where we build our trenches. Lines in the sand are useless. Build some defenses.

1. #TransRights are #HumanRights

2. No human is illegal

3. A person's value does not rely of their ability to make someone else money.

Why are people trigger warning their trans related posts? Blurred photos and an under construction-like trigger warning box, at the end of text subject, says show anyway.
Is it.... To bypass something? Or are trans posts triggering? Is it etiquette for something I'm missing?
Thank you,

I'm just going to keep posting this...

Hey! You in Washington state? Please oppose this bill (HB1038): https://app.leg.wa.gov/PBC/Bill/1038

OPPOSE
"""
HB 1038: Prohibiting puberty blocking medications, cross-sex hormones, and gender transition surgeries for minors.
"""

Whether you're trans or not, please oppose this bill and leave a comment 🥺

Because gender-affirming care saves lives and *everyone* should be able to make their own choices about their bodies.

People often ask me why I’m outspoken about trans rights. I’m not trans so “why do you care?”

The Ogre nailed it. I care because what the government is doing to trans people is wrong. I care because we are being conditioned to accept atrocities. Conditioned to allow our fellow human being to be treated in discriminatory, dangerous and appalling ways. Conditioned to look away from the suffering of others.

It seems plainly obvious to me. They’re creating a villain where one doesn’t exist. Whipping people into a frenzy over perceived dangers like trans women in bathrooms and sports… instead of dealing with the very real dangers that are facing us (pandemics, climate change, the fall of democracy and capitalism).

They’re starting with trans people because they’re an easy mark. They’re a small percentage of the population, many people don’t think they know any trans people and therefore they don’t see it as a “big issue”.

Stripping people of their dignity and rights will always be a big issue. Just because it’s not happening to a group you care about doesn’t mean you shouldn’t speak out against it.

The trans community need allies. They need people to see how wrong this is and say “enough is enough”. They are not a threat and they don’t deserve to be treated as one.

Lastly… this type of hateful rhetoric doesn’t stop with one group of people.

It doesn’t stop at all.

They will keep coming for your rights. The rights of LGBTQ+ communities. The rights of immigrants and marginalized individuals. The rights of the unhoused. The rights of women.

They will keep coming.

If you wait to speak up, before you know it, it’ll be too late.

Speak up now. Ask the tough questions. Get to know a trans person. Support them. We are stronger together.

Politicians should keep their hands off our bodies

Wes Streeting’s decision to interfere in what doctors think is best for young trans patients poses dangers for everyone

Whether or not you're a member of the Labour party (I'm not), please consider signing this petition. In the light of Wes Streeting's awful decision yesterday on puberty blockers, it's more important than ever to send a message that what the government is doing is not OK.
