Thanks for the beautiful shout out for Mark Bingham on today's @PivotPod@profgalloway, even decades later he is still touching people's lives through @binghamcup and @IGRugby!
You ever hear how Lia Thomas "was a 400th rank swimmer and now is #1"?
This is a lie and deception.
Lia Thomas started HRT in May 2019. She competed on the guys team ON HRT, hence her low numbers.
In 2018, she had top 8 finishes in 500, 1000, adn 1650-yard freestyle.
All the anti-trans hate from the right makes a lot more sense when you realize that Americans think that one in five people are trans (trans people are actually 0.6% of the population; the community being targeted by this propaganda is miniscule)
@wildzoeyappears Wow, our timelines and experiences match up scary well! Glad everything was fairly smooth for you too, I sometimes feel guilt over how fortunate I’ve been these last 2 years.
This #InternationalWomensDay we're going to talk about trans women in history. We've turned replies off, because we know some people would prefer these stories to be erased and silenced.
Idaho is close to passing a law that would make providing trans teens with gender affirming care punishable by LIFE in prison!
This is life-saving care that is standard across the world. It is care that every national and pediatric organization supports.
This needs to stop!
@KatyMontgomerie I shouldn’t be, but I’m still amazed how the GC argument pretends to be about biology until pushed even a little bit, then all they are left with is a mystical essence of sex.
The sex categories are obviously constructs, and only the characteristics themselves are biology. ..
Very exciting. This is where our new #battery test chamber is going to go. Right next to our lab and ready for Mixed Battery Array. @DalCleanTech@DalEngineering
Most cis people’s biggest fear is that their child would be like me. If a parent is allowing their child to be like me, the state of Texas has decreed that the child must be taken away from their parents.
I’m going to explain why these laws are mind numbingly terrifying. 1/
This breaks my heart, and after careful reflection on the magnitude of the word I do feel that these are literally genocidal moves from our “freedom loving” neighbours to the south.
(As per the UN’s definition of genocide, article II, statement e.) #ProtectTransKids
“Among the first to be investigated ie a state protective services employee whose transgender child is 16”
They have started the process to try to take transgender kids from their parents in Texas. They are actually doing it.
This is unconscionable.
