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)

A cartoon of a trans woman talking over four frames:

HELLO!

MY NAME IS MINA. I'M AN ASEXUAL, AROMANTIC, TRANSGENDER, WOMAN.

MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE/HER!

I'M NOT NONBINARY,

POLY,

INTERSEX,

A FURRY,

I DON'T USE NEO PRONOUNS, PARTICIPATE IN KINK,

OR READ HOMESTUCK.

TO NAME A FEW

SINCE I'M ONLY LOOSELY AFFILIATED WITH ANY OF THOSE THINGS

IF ANY OF THEM WERE UNDER ATTACK

WELL, IT'S NOT *MY* COMMUNITY...

THERE'S A ΤΟΝ OF QUEER AND QUEER ADJACENT THINGS THAT I'M NOT.

IT'S *OUR* COMMUNITY, AND I'LL FIGHT AND MARCH FOR ANY OF THEM.

THERE ARE NO 'ACCEPTABLE' LOSSES IN THE QUEER COMMUNITY.

Anti-trans pundits took all the wrong lessons from Glenn Youngkin.

Luckily, so did the Republicans.

As Trump starves America, destroys the middle class, kills the economy, and makes unemployment skyrocket, the shiny object of anti-trans bigotry becomes so obviously insignificant.

She spent most of her ad budget on anti-trans lies. And it failed miserably. https://plus.flux.community/p/flailing-virginia-governor-candidate

Zack Polanski got under Piers Morgan’s skin by reframing the UK’s gender critics as petty politics and standing firm that trans women are women.

Zohran #Mamdani's support of #TransRights is well known

Here's a bizarre anecdote on that topic:

You may know that Zohran's mother is the director #MiraNair. Mira was offered the chance to direct "#HarryPotter and the Order of the Phoenix"

She turned it down because Zohran said no

A *14 year old* Zohran Mamdani kept his mother away from #JKRowling

(I'm not implying he knew of Rowling's #bigotry in 2006, I just find this trivia extraordinary)

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

So Vivian decided to break the silence on #Threads:

https://www.threads.net/@vivllainous/post/C91xDGJSUX_

#Musk's original crap on #Twitter (warning, #deadnaming):

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1815519696424161361

#transphobia #lgbtqia

"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.

ALT

I did not have a “love of musicals & theatre” when I was four, because y’know… I was fucking four. I did not know what these things were. My earliest real experience with musicals was when my twin brother had a hamilton phase in 8th/9th grade and overplayed it so much in the car to the point where for a long time I swore off the entire genre.

I never picked out jackets for him to wear and I was most certainly not calling them “fabulous” because literally what the fuck. I did not use the word fabulous when I was four because once again I would like to reiterate… I was four. Like this is so obvious I don’t even think it warrants explanation but apparently people believe this nonsense so here I am.

ALT

This entire thing is completely made up and there’s a reason for this. He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness. Obviously he can’t say that, so I’ve been reduced to a happy little stereotype f*g-ing along to use at his discretion. I think that says alot about how he views queer people and children in general.

As for if I’m not a woman… sure, Jan. Whatever you say. I’m legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and I don’t concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me. Obviously Elon can’t say the same because 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✨

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.)

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more
than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story
about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans
women competing at this level)

"screen grab of Sun Sport article about IOC ban for trans women including a picture of Cisgender Boxer Imame Khelife"

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 😭

“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/

#police #Palestine @palestine #queer #news #Texas

On Congress and 4th St in Austin, Texas, multiple police officers pin a shirtless man to the ground (his features have been blurred) as a Pride parade passes in the background. A police officer on a horse, with a rainbow painted on its flank, stands guard.
