@Category_Fury In undergrad I thought about the implications of time travel being possible AND the many worlds interpretation (MWI) being true.
Imagine an optics experiment where a photon hits a 50/50 beam splitter, recording a "1" or a "0" depending on which detector it hits.
Reading about this parents group in Michigan that had a collective fit over the fact a substitute teacher was trans and it really breaks my heart to know how much paranoia is being intentionally stoked across the country
The thing that breaks my heart the most about trans youth sports bans is that almost all of them target one or two kids who have been participating in sports. It's bad enough being an adult who's targeted by specific and deliberate hate. Imagine being those children. Being so 1/3
The thing about abject hate is that those who cast it often think it belittles the target of their contempt.
But throughout history, there have been pics like these.
We don't look back on them kindly. They become immortalized as examples of a past we no longer will return to.
Some folks showed up early this morning and sat on the public benches near the entrance to the House, so Seat 31 has moved.
I'm up and ready to work. Plus, I hear stand desks are all the rage these days.
This week broke me. I’m too sad to protest. I’m struggling to keep going. I hate what the world does to us because we’re trans. It feels like it’ll never stop. I’ve lost so much and will lose more. I’m so tired of begging for compassion. I wish I could have peace.
I'm suing.
The recent actions violate my 1st amendment rights, as well as the rights of my 11,000 constituents to representation.
Montana's State House is the people’s House, not Speaker Regier’s, and I’m determined to defend the right of the people to have their voices heard.
If there is a trend of children being transgender, it’s been going on for pretty long as this article from 1999 shows. Peggy Cohen says about puberty blockers for trans children: “why all the commotion about something that has been going on for more than ten years?”
A quick thread for any English speakers about something I've been afraid of ever since the publication of a Dutch article about the Dutch Approach that was heavily biased. It's been used as more evidence of this "increasing" concern in an Atlantic piece https://t.co/5FY48YMsst
I need you all to understand that every single Trans person you know is dealing with constant, societal level trauma. None of us are okay. We're watching as the cries to simply eradicate us are getting louder and louder. This isn't just scary. It's *traumatic.*
Just realized they're going for this weird workaround expulsion for her because if they actually just expel her (like Jones/Pearson in TN) it allows her district to reinstate her. Keep her in limbo and her voters are permanently disenfranchised.
@elonmusk@krassenstein@ZubyMusic The Swedish study's lead author debunked that misinfo because it's regurgitated by so many credulous edgelords.
All major US medical orgs support gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth.
Stop spreading blatant and harmful lies. Support your daughter.

@CWDandAJD@_oatc_@equitynurse @AGAndrewBailey The lead author of that study, Dr. Cecilia Dhejne, has already addressed this misinformation.
"Medical transition alone won’t resolve the effects of crushing social oppression: social anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress."

Throughout my first term, I have worked tirelessly to defend our health care, our housing, our human rights, and democracy itself.
And I'm ready to get back to the Montana State House of Representatives in 2025.

tragedy to be the daughter of such a person--what psychic damage, equivalent to physical abuse. the cruelty dealt to transgender persons is the more astonishing in that it can come not only from the outside but the inside of a household--unlike other forms of savage bigotry.
From a powerful open letter authored by two pediatricians in Idaho: "Unlike the sponsors of the bill, we did not have to fly providers in from out of state or rely on doctors who have never met you or cared for you to testify."

Read about the "omissions" and "missteps" of the FBI's investigation into sexual assault allegations against a Supreme Court nominee then ask yourself how your local police department handles it when the person being accused is just Some Guy https://t.co/KsWxl3CY9g
Amazing. The Clerk of the House Judiciary Committee just quit her job to join Rep. Zephyr's staff.
Here they are seated at the esteemed seat 31.
They're building a movement.
Republicans used a series of procedures to remove every bill from my committees, silencing my constituents beyond what they already voted to do.
My constituents elected me to speak on their behalf—in committee & on the floor—and stopping me from doing so is anti-democratic.
