"I'm not against trans people in sports I just think trans women have a biological advantage over cis women"
The science says this is obviously wrong, and that trans people are at a biological *disadvantage* to ALL cisgender people, both cis men AND cis women.

I hope everyone has a good day today.
Safe travels.
Keep yourselves safe.
here’s your semi-regular reminder to get your eyes checked if you’re trans and on hormones
why?
hormones impact your muscles. your eyes have muscles that are impacted. your vision can change.
if you haven’t gotten them checked since starting hrt, or within the last 2 years, and you can access it, make sure to take care of yourself and get them eyes checked 👀
I LOVE this patch. I'm 2023, but I would totally rock this if I could.

In the UK, all a predatory man needs to get access to a Ladies loo is overalls, a bucket and mop.
This whole panic is as artificial and cynical as the 'predatory lesbians in changing rooms' scare of the 1980s - which I remember clearly enough to see the hate rhetoric about trans people is often word for word the same.
It's a divisive distraction being whipped up for political gain.

Somehow I manage to overcome the guilt 😁
It’s #STFUfriday! When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU: - I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going. - Am I free to leave? - I am not answering any questions. - If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search." - I want to speak to a lawyer. Be clear. Be firm. Be polite. It feels like you’re doing something wrong. But what you’re doing is protecting yourself.
Elon Musk gets a lot of hate.
But it’s not enough.
We can do better.
It's Trans Day of Remembrance. Like we do every year, we're remembering all the trans people around the world murdered just for being trans. Days like this shouldn't need to exist. We will keep working until all trans people can live happy and fulfilled lives free from transphobia.
To recap: Trump is a rapist found liable for defaming the woman he raped. His pick for attorney general is currently accused of statutory rape at sex parties. His pick for defense secretary is accused of sexual assault.
But Sarah McBride using a restroom is the threat.
Okay.

Oh me too. 100%

OH: "When trans girls take their hormones........
........they become whores who moan............"
So excited, just passed my 3d anniversary of hrt and today my Endo agreed to give progesterone a try. Fingers crossed.
With Musk serving as a de facto cabinet member, it's reasonable to assume that X/Twitter will freely provide federal agencies with the sort of data that would normally require a warrant.
It's equally safe to assume that far right agency heads will use that data to pursue administration goals, like immigrant deportation, abortion prosecution, protest suppression, etc.
If you know anyone who insists on using Twitter, please urge them to be excruciatingly careful about what they post there from now on. Information and data that may have seemed innocuous a year ago are now a threat vector, and the person posting them may not always be the person most at risk.

I am continually astonished by what an incredibly hot collection of friends I have. So many highly sexy trans women. So many super hot trans men. So many nonbinary folk with pulcherissime (my dog-Latin attempt at a nonbinary "most beautiful").
Transness is full of beauty and joy.

I hear that it is quite wet. 🤣
"And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything."
-Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
