Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
Switch from The Matrix says "Not like this."
*Just in the LAST WEEK*:
- Prisons are experimenting on trans prisoners to "cure" them
- Kansas revoked every trans Kansan's driver's license
- Scouts agreed to ban trans kids
- Texas declared all health services stop helping trans kids
- SCOTUS declared it legal to out trans kids to abusive parents
This kinda throws a wrench in the whole thing. If you are going after trans people because they’re changing their documents, you can’t include the ones who haven’t. This just shows it isn’t about accuracy in IDs, it’s about discrimination.
Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker.
It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.
I’ve been really enjoying the Pittsburgh version of the WTYP podcast. It’s become one of my top 3 podcasts to listen to each week. You’ve got me kinda wishing I hadn’t ditched film and gone digital a decade and a half ago.
to reiterate: it is not up to trans ppl to "vote blue no matter who"
it is up to *cisgender Dems* to decide whether you want us in your coalition or not (see 🧵 below for why the latter would be bad for *all of us*)
If you don't do anything else, survive today, survive tomorrow, survive the next week, survive the next year, survive the next decade.
Do it out of spite if you need to, but you also need to do it out of love.
Love towards the community, love towards yourself.
Just outlive the CHUDs.
This basically
CW: transphobia.
See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤
This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did.
But it's not just similar. It's *identical*.
In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938.
Paragraph 175 and 183.
This is what I need cis folks to understand.
It's been a decade.
Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it
it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.
Tonight my co-worker asked if I was doing ok, it took everything I had not to reply with:
“I’ve spent the last year-and-a-half living in a near constant state of existential dread only alleviated through dissociation… I’m tired. “
Instead I simply sighed and said, “I’m ok.”
I am so tired.
the best time to stand up for us was years ago when we told you where this was all heading
until cis people decide to stop this,
it’s gonna continue
you see where this is heading
the second best time to stand up for us is NOW
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
yeah a lot of cis people don't realize trans women do in fact still get the shit bullied out of them before they even remotely *know* what their own deal is
It is 1933, gender-affirming care is criticised as “experimental”
Over a century of modern medicine’s practice at gender-affirming care and knowledge about its benefits, but they want us to think it’s “new & experimental”.
Something important to note is that Jim Henson’s Creature Shop is adamant about human actors being able to physically interact with the puppets. It helps the realism. It’s something that not all puppeteering shops do. Frequently they don’t want physical contact because the puppets are too fragile.
This is what Harris was acquiescing to with: "I'll follow the law.".
And I won't be at all surprised if Newsom tells some fascist dipshit on a podcast that he totally agrees this is reasonable and not at all torture.

For me, connecting the dots about being trans was less about a sudden flash of insight and more about finally accepting the evidence that had been piling up for years.
But I couldn't have accepted that evidence without seeing others living their lives & showing it was actually possible.
Thank you.
oh
oh oh oh 🥹
cis friends this is the energy we need you to bring
I will forever believe that the reason we have records of trans people being considered oracles and seers in virtually every culture is because we've always been handed the shit end of the stick and as a result we've always seen the tyranny rising ahead of the average person.

For those keeping track, this is what hatred looks like. This is three years of our government systematically attacking a minority community.

“Kids. Little kids.
They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different.
And I’m the monster?
I don't know what's scarier.
The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart...
or that sometimes, I just wanna let 'em.”
As someone who grew up watching the gay rights movement and AIDS protests of the 80s and whose parents lived through (and taught about) the civil rights movement of the 50s and 60s, this feels very familiar.
Given that history, I have hope for the future, but I know it will be a hard fight.
The issue is that if they’re already malicious enough to refuse to mask, they’re going to be less inclined to cover for a cough or sneeze. 😢
Along with what @progesteronipizza.bsky.social said, several states have already passed and adopted legislation that does this at a state level. Most notably Florida, Georgia, and New Hampshire.
