Gun violence and caps lock 

"I have not been this angry in a long fucking time. They were NINE YEARS OLD AND TEACHERS HAD TO DIE PROTECTING THEIR KIDS. BECAUSE OF REPUBLICAN COWARDS and NRA PUPPETS LIKE SENATOR BLACKBURN.

"If you aren’t livid you aren’t paying attention."

"If a job says they want a degree you don't have BUT you have all of the skills required to do the job...

"APPLY ANYWAY.

"Seriously!

"If you can back up your real world knowledge and prove you know how to do the tasks and can do them well, sometimes that degree won't matter."

Mention of transphobia 

"About to testify in favor of SB188 in Colorado, a safe state bill that will protect trans Coloradans and people who flee to the state.

"These laws represent safety and peace of mind to a community that has been very highly targeted in recent years.

"It must pass."

Gun violence and transphobia 

"10,000 mass shootings in a row all by cis people. Most of them by straights, Christians, conservatives, men: must be nothing to do with who they are or what they believe

"1 mass shooting by a trans person: must be because they're trans 🤡

"It's all so predictable and boring"

Gun violence, transphobia, racism, and misogyny 

"Things that did _not_ kill kids today:

- a renaissance sculpture
- a film about Ruby Bridges
- drag queen story time
- the word ‘tampon’
- critical race theory
- woke banks
- saying that Rosa Parks was Black
- gender-affirming care
- ‘The Bluest Eye’

What did:

-an AR-f––ing-15"

Gun violence 

"If the shooter is trans, I feel exactly the same about them as if they were a cis man: they’re a piece of shit who deserves to rot.

"But unless you’re holding every cis man responsible for all the other school shootings, you don’t get to hold all trans people responsible for this"

"I can’t get over this train derailment in Palestine, Ohio.

"They poisoned the people & when they tried to go get blood work done to prove it - all the local labs said they don’t offer the specific test anymore.

"All those labs are owned by the ppl who own the train company."

"This is one of the very real things we try to make clear to the Adult Autists seeking a DX of ASD. ⬇️"

Gun violence 

"I don't know how else we are supposed to interpret the fact that a school shooting is mundane except to say that the United States sanctions the murders of its own children. It sacrifices children on the altar of a frankly bizarre interpretation of the second amendment."

Privacy and visibility should be about self-determination and agency. Everyone deserves to be able to choose when, and with whom, they share personal information.

Show thread

We'll use today's Transgender Day of Visibility to celebrate the resilience of trans people in the face of an increasing anti-trans political landscape and raise awareness of the fact that not everybody can or wants to be visible.
