    If you happen to renew your passport successfully and manage to change your gender marker, please for the love of god don't post about it online.

    So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

    A screenshot of a tweet from Ludwig saying: a couple weeks ago I found out one of my oldest viewers passed away she started following when i had 100 viewers she was super active in chat, funny, and helped turn my goofy dream of being a streamer into a full fledged career she was also trans, and my community was one of the few places she felt comfortable expressing that in so today in her memory im doing a charity stream for the Trevor project ty to anyone who tunes in or donates rip kanabana

    i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

    Go fuck yourself

    Post Brianna Wu O Subscribe Trans sisters. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. I an somy. I genuinely thought that as a trans woman, if ceded some points with the gender critical crowd we could have a healthier conversation and arrive at better public policy. The problem is, they are getting crazier and more extreme. If you admit "trans women don't belong in women's sports" they agree, but call you a man the whole time. If you admit, "I understand I am a biological man, but this is how I want to live my life and talking about me like this is degrading" they scream about free speech. If you admit that hurtful language is part of free speech but you don't have to associate with people that degrade you, they act like the victim and call you a man and then say you should be thrown in an insane asylum. It's like this on everything. They are incapable of looking for a middle ground on bathrooms. They want maximalist policies on everything. They'd throw a fully transitioned, fully passing trans woman in male prison genpop and laugh as she got aids from being raped. I want a middle ground on so many of these polices. BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS THEY DO NOT. They enjoy degrading us, it's fun for them. So, sisters. I genuinely don't know what to do. I think many of our most extreme ideas are bad. But theirs are worse. So if I have to pick, I choose us. I wish there were a political vehicle for compromise and medical safeguarding. But that just simply does not exist. Post Brianna Wu Subscribe @BriannaWu 2/ I consider my business settled with all trans sisters. If anyone wants to reset things, unblock and move forward, I am happy to do that. 7:16 • 01 Nov 25 • 5,969 Views

    centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

    I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

    I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

    I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

    police dressed as military in front of a police tank police dressed in camo like soldiers like total knobs cops dressed head to toe in camo like full kit wankers

    Reporters talking with everyone who has ever met the shooter asking if the shooter knew any trans people. Healthy society we have here for sure.

    Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

    All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

    It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

    Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.

    This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

    The Economist @economist.com
    A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause
    How stable are the gender identities of younger children?
    A study finds that one in five who switch gender change their mind

    Dems already did this on immigration and got painted as open border communist globalists anyway. This simply does not work. Dems need to have a back bone and actually argue from their differences with conservatives rather than bending over and adopting conservative lite positions because of polls.

    growing chorus of “throw trans people to the wolves” from high profile libs is not shocking but it is certainly nerve-wracking lol
    one of the podjons (i think the straight one) in reference to that NYT piece about how “special interests” like trans people and immigrants lost the dems the election: “Dems should resist any group or special interest that pressures them to take positions opposed by the electoral majority essential to win, whether that's big corporations, rich donors, nonprofits, whoever. This isn't about blaming specific groups for defeat - it's about what's required to win.”

    It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

    If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.

    Everyone give this a share after.

    “a large group of funny, talented trans posters were the earliest adopters of Bluesky and were able to forge the platform into what it is today: funny, frequently horny, and with very strong moderation tools. If you like Bluesky’s vibe right now, thank a trans person,” journalist Katelyn Burns said

    Oh neat! @adamclarkestes.com and I just landed in a very similar place also! www.vox.com/technology/3...
    Bluesky feels more like old Twitter than X does
    As more users flee X, a clearer, sunnier social media age is dawning.

    the parent of a trans kid in missouri begged the new york times not to use an audio clip in The Protocol podcast of a verbal confrontation with professional transphobe Jamie Reed out of fear of safety for her kid and NYT management refused her request.

    Always curious to see who gets to be an anonymous source!
    While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X and who is an academic and an opponent of affirmative action. The Times agreed to withhold his real name.

    The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

    When they go round the moon, the Artemis astronauts will be completely out of contact for 40 minutes. What's the single funniest (yet feasible) thing they could do when they get back in touch?

    There are multiple national political commentators who earnestly predicted that Eric Adams would be a legitimate presidential candidate and a national figurehead of the Democratic party by now and those commentators still have careers somehow.
