So grateful to @apapertrail and @CatapultStory for giving me the chance to share some complicated feels!
There are pieces I edit at turtle speed because I can’t stop lingering on a scene, like I’ve found a very beautiful, loving place that I might never find again. @elanorbroker’s essay on finding the space for boyhood as a trans mother is one of those: catapult.co/stories/son-boy-…

one of the key tacks for successful lawyers, be they trans or not, is keeping your private business private. maintain your professional integrity and stable professional platform with this one weird trick

HUGE NEWS: New reporting shows Haley Stevens’ major donors started supporting Mike Rogers in the general election. These are proud, lifelong Democrats who are crossing the aisle to defeat extremist Abdul El-Sayed! Mike Rogers is going to win in two weeks.

I'm not giving you legal advice, but it's just common sense that getting investigated and disciplined by your state bar for all your unhinged public crashouts is best handled by ... more unhinged public crashouts? that's what we're going with? cool.

Critics have launched a boycott campaign against US cheese giant Tillamook over its new halal labelling. Some have accused the company of making "al-Qaeda cheese" in a viral tirade of abuse against the Oregon dairy co-operative.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this morning. He said a young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, 2009, is this young man's birthday. Though it was thirteen years ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a name!

That's T-Bone. Put some respect on his name

it's true. I was there, I saw the whole thing. A big crew piled out of a bus with "DOWN WITH CIS" written across the side. Then they just started wailing on the guy
We were mobbed and attacked by Trantifa last night in Seattle. I was maced by like 6 different trans identified males, beaten all over, kicked in the face multiple times, and was completely blinded by being maced so many times in a row. Full account from @ApostateAri: “Last night, while peacefully recording video footage in a public space, we were subjected to a vicious, unprovoked physical assault by a group of masked Antifa agitators. The attack was swift and coordinated. One individual delivered a forceful kick directly to Hendrix’s face. Both of us were sprayed in the eyes and respiratory system with chemical irritants (mace/pepper spray), causing intense burning, temporary blindness, and respiratory distress. My hat was forcibly taken, along with portions of my recording equipment. Hendrix’s phone was stolen outright. I was thrown to the ground, slammed onto gravel on my knees, and immediately surrounded by multiple assailants who continued to spray me at close range while I was vulnerable. The assault left me in fear for my life; the cumulative force and tactics employed could easily have resulted in fatal injuries. Law enforcement personnel who responded to the incident informed me that individuals perceived as critical of transgender ideology, often labeled “transphobes” by such groups, are routinely targeted for severe violence in this area, which the attackers evidently consider their controlled territory. Officers expanded by explaining there were cache’s of weapons hidden around the park. Officers explicitly warned that continued presence could lead to lethal retaliation.  One officer expressed concern that they would be called one day to aide in the recovery of a deceased detransitioned gay man’s body from Cal Anderson Park. This incident underscores the documented pattern of intimidation and physical suppression faced by detransitioners and those who challenge prevailing narratives on youth medical transition, particularly in certain urban environments.”

you know it seems like an AI video of a trained fighter beating the shit out of a specific identifiable trans woman should probably be against the TOS

fully convinced there’s some Heritage committee focused on repackaging and pumping out retrograde reactionary tumblr queer/ 2nd wave feminist discourses for the tiktok generation as part of the overall push to drag us all back and erase the last three decades from current memory
