I was “in the newspapers as a youth activist” level of O-U-T as a queer student at 16yo in 1991. EVERY SINGLE ONE of the objections we now see about trans youth was made about me, and I am FURIOUS at all the gays and lesbians my age who are falling for this now. To them:

Those who fought "don't say gay," we need you to fight against the anti trans bills just as hard. Transgender youth were just banned from bathrooms in Alabama, and they're about to ban medical care. Alabama Democrats said during debate "don't say gay is too much, but this is ok"

I'm in tears right now over what happened in Alabama. It's a shame that people can't just let us live our lives. Instead, we have to fight for every inch to just live out an otherwise normal life. Fuck transphobic assholes and their abuse of power.

The tech who did my breast ultrasound put gel on the wand and said "Here comes some warm jelly!" and started whoosh-whooshing it toward my boobs like an airplane. Then she stopped dead, mid-whoosh, blinked, and said "I'm sorry, I have twin toddlers, I am... fucking exhausted."

Explain why cancelling $1,900,000,000,000 in student debt is a “handout”, but a $1,900,000,000,000 tax cut for rich people was a “stimulus”.

you ever see a hot person and you're just like.....ok wow congrats

I mean... The meme isn't wrong.

V for vendetta was a fictional movie, but it's starting to feel more like a documentary the more I see what GC folks are doing.

The Texas GOP formally adopted language advocating for the overthrow of democracy and attacking Black Americans’ right to vote and LGBTQ+ Americans’ right to exist. There is no compromising with fascism.

if you ❤️ this, you’re gay if you 🔁 this, you’re doing crimes 😏

One of my millennial friends who taught me all about memes just texted me this… Ha!

Wealth of Jeff Bezos: 2009: $6.8 billion 2022: $135 billion Wealth of America’s billionaires: 2009: $1.3 trillion 2022: $4.7 trillion Minimum wage: 2009: $7.25 2022: $7.25 We need a living wage and a tax on huge wealth.

Anyone got one of them bsky codes?

I see a lot of finger pointing at other trans people on why the GOP is where it is today. But the truth is this was none of our doing. Their transphobia was not organic, it was manufactured by conservative media and super PACs. You must understand this before you can be serious.
