The start of a new semester is a great time to remind instructors that u shouldn't use trans people as a debate/discussion topic for ur class. If u don't know why then u REALLY shouldn't. (But don't erase trans people either.)

the middleclass banality of the rise of fascism is so wild to witness in realtime. Here are two street cops discussing how they're gonna win and it means more overtime so one of them can get their backyard remodeled or whatever.

The conservatives are making headway with genocidal tactics, while much of the queer and trans left is still negotiating the basics of respect and teaching entry level allyship to people who claim to be progressive.

The first step to becoming an abolitionist is addressing the cop in your head. The ideals of crime and punishment are so deeply engrained you have to start there first. Abolish your inner cop beloved. 😊

When we ask they ignore us. When we shout they arrest us. When we vote they expel our representatives. When we follow the rules they change them. When we’re nonviolent they re-define violence. When we’re violent they say violence doesn’t get you anything but what does.

This is literally what fascism looks like.
An elected official the government doesn't like is prevented from participating in making the law. And people who show up to demand their representative do her DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED job are removed by riot Police.

When someone refuses to share information about menstrual cycle with a medical provider, y’all r always like “but risk.” But fucking nothing. The fault is with the fascist govt legislating away bodily autonomy, not ur patients. Ur punching in the wrong direction.

Being seen by the healthcare specialists I need (there's quite a few) requires accepting constant misgendering and a fair bit of weird, uncomfortable behavior. It's not just the medical providers, but everyone and everything you interact with in an office.

A doctor called one trans woman “it.” A nonbinary person was grilled about their pronouns during an ultrasound. A trans masculine person fled Tennessee as lawmakers restricted care.
We told the stories of trans people navigating health care. Paywall free wapo.st/3Zcf7bg

You'll want to cry reading this — for the patients having excruciating experiences, the doctors leaving because they can't do their jobs, and the women left behind who are going to die when they can't get any care. An absolute nightmare.

If you read the trans-clinic "whistleblower" story that the trans-hating right wing (and a lot of people who should know better) seized on, you must read this deeply reported, fully sourced story about trans care for kids at that center. Please share it!
