“It certainly seems like an issue that could be ripe for litigation because it’s right on its face discriminating against people for sexual orientation or #transgender status.”
Out today, from Kit @oconnell: Emails obtained from the #Texas Department of Agriculture reveal the turmoil caused by Sid Miller's transphobic dress code, which the Observer first revealed last year. https://www.texasobserver.org/sid-miller-transphobic-dress-code-emails/

“The records that we have received demonstrate that senior TDA officials were well aware of the potentially unlawful nature of their policy.”
Last year, I broke the story about the #Texas Department of Agriculture's transphobic dress code for @TexasObserver. Now, I'm back with internal emails showing the turmoil it caused, especially in the nutrition department: https://www.texasobserver.org/sid-miller-transphobic-dress-code-emails/

I love the vibes of these posters for a couple reasons:
1) We should support each other's rights
2) I think it's important to find happiness in other people's happiness. I think it aligns your mental state in a good direction (for yourself and others) and I enjoy people talking about their happiness and excitement so much
Welcome to #TransTuesday!
Let’s dive into a complicated topic that a lot of trans people struggle with, myself included. We’re talking:
SEXUALITY IS NOT GENDER.
Also - bows Bows BOWS! (they’re related, trust me)
PinkNews is refusing to cover trans issues because it thinks trans people aren't advertiser friendly!

A Japanese high court ruled on Wednesday that a transgender woman should be able to change the sex assigned to them at birth in their family registry without having to undergo surgery, as is currently required by law.

Recently #ElonMusk smearmongered his daughter (his daughter is #trans, she disowned him and changed her last name)

#Musk's original crap on #Twitter (warning, #deadnaming):
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1815519696424161361
"in a ketamine-fueled haze, he's desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him. Go touch some fucking grass"
DAMN!😆
![Musk: "[DEADNAME] was born gay and slightly autistic , two attributes that contribute to gender dysphoria.
I knew that from when he was about 4 years old and he would pick out clothes for me to wear like a jacket and tell me it was “fabulous!”, as well as his love of musicals & theatre.
But he was not a girl."
There’s a lot of stuff I need to debunk which I will get to don’t worry, but I want to start with what I find the funniest which is the notorious “slightly autistic” tweet. This is gonna be a bit so just bare with me
This is entirely fake. Like, literally none of this ever happened. Ever. I don’t even know where he got this from. My best guess is that he went to the Milo Yiannopoulis school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random and said “eh- good enough” in a last-ditch attempt to garner sympathy points when he is so obviously in the wrong even in his own fucking story.](/proxy/post_attachment/319285/0f29e0ff3e.webp "Musk: \"[DEADNAME] was born gay and slightly autistic , two attributes that contribute to gender dysphoria.

A Kansas City-area Democrat who backed transgender sports ban loses reelection
A small group has gathered to honor #Palestine at #Austin Pride. They initially planned to protest an apparent ban on symbols of Palestinian liberation at Pride, but are now having a rally after a meeting and Austin Pride apologized to the Palestinian community.
(edit to update: see thread below. Police actually made multiple arrests from this group as they tried to watch the parade.)

Will Ferrell goes on a road trip with long-time friend Harper Steele, former SNL head writer and newly out trans woman.
As a kid, I could never have imagined trans people just being out in movies and TV. What I would give to see all these trans people when I was 10.
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭
"My hidden agenda in the book club is to get people excited about reading stories about members of the #LGBTQ+ community who are different than them."

“I am part of the queer community and the queer rights movement. I am an anti-fascist; I’m not neutral about fascism. I’m not neutral about genocide. I’m not neutral about the environment, and many other topics.”

Out today, a story months in the making...
In August, #Austin Police Department violently arrested two pro-Palestine activists at the city's annual #Pride march, and I investigated why and how it happened.
Even though Pride itself claimed to be welcoming to symbols of Palestinian liberation, police who were deployed to "protect" the #LGBTQIA+ community from violent threats ended up attacking us instead. https://thebarbedwire.com/2024/10/18/you-can-fly-any-flag-at-austin-pride-except-a-palestinian-one/

Maybe in protest of these ludicrous anti-trans bathroom laws we should all just use the men's bathroom, no matter your gender.
1. Cis women going into men's bathrooms normalize fem people there; less attention for trans sisters.
2. they can't check all our birth certificates.
3. If our trans sisters aren't welcome then nobody is welcome.
4. Create longer lines in men's bathrooms, more inconvenient for them.
5. Give men gross looks if they don't wash their hands.
