So yesterday, our cat Inky had what must have been, for his little cat brain, a genuine horror experience.
(he is fine)
First of all, you need to understand that he hates the broom.
In Montana, They went to the board to determine if they'd allow Rep Zephyr, to speak.
They've blocked her for 5 days, after passing a bill that removes trans people from 40 sections of law.
They silenced her.
So her constituents spoke for her, and she raised her icrophone.
@stormwrlds I own (almost) all of them from the first 4 series! Plus a handful of the standalones and graphic novels. My copy of the 3rd book is waterlogged missing like 20 pages, I didn't notice that I missed an entire scene until my second read through at least lol
Amazing news!
HB7 has just passed the Senate in New Mexico!
This bill will ban discrimination and protect the right to gender affirming care and abortions in the state, making it a safe state to live in in a sea of unfriendly states nearby that target trans people and abortion!
@NiemiSnow I'm a trans man with an identical twin sister! It was definitely interesting trying to navigate how to talk about that at first, but it's such an important part of my identity that I don't try to hide it or make it easier for cis people to understand
I'm not mincing my words anymore.
The legislative assault on transgender people is a genocide against us.
It seeks to remove us from public life, remove all legal protections, remove our trans children from parents, remove their medically necessary care. It will kill people.
@stormwrlds Would it be possible to block him from this account like right away? And maybe remove mention of it from your main (or only let certain people see the tweets that mention it?) Idk if trying to hide it like that would be anxiety-inducing
Lindsey Spero, a young trans masc, used his allotted time to inject his hormone therapy in front of the Florida board of medicine, who was about to ban gender affirming care for trans youth.
Then he raised his fist in the air.
This is trans resistance.

Cis people don't actually know what "trans rights" means.
They think it means "don't be mean" & not all the practical ways in which trans people are marginalised, such as no healthcare, less employment opportunities, less likely to get housing & laws that ban our very existence.
In minutes, Nebraska's Legislature is expected to hear the "Let Them Grow" act, an Orwellian named act that will ban gender affirming care for trans youth, which will result in an increase in suicides.
I will be covering live here. Please stick with me.
