Twitter has been unsafe for trans people for a while. Elon Musk recently chose to unban misgendering and deadnaming of us on his platform. I have not been using Twitter for a while and I see no reason to continue using Twitter, so this will be my final tweet.

@lux_banana @forestvanslyke Agreed. I wrote about the ableism and other stuff years ago, link: https://t.co/wYK6ri9jhA

So, my thoughts on sapiosexuality, inspired by posts and such that I've been seeing on Facebook. [Thread]

YES to free assistive devices! Please retweet. Donate if you can.

All assistive devices should be covered.

@Sakeozo Agreed!

It is horrifying that someone can make those kinds of suggestions. I might not have been here today with that kind of mentality.

[Sarah Jama @SarahJama_]

This is a *wild* suggestion to make especially from someone from the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Quebec to make. We can't just decide that disabled infants should be put down. Doctors aren't omniscient & this is eugenics. Dr. Roy is suggesting the right to murder infants.

@kavehbt Hey, just saw this. How can I support this cause? Seems very fucked up that this happened.

In this conversation about Queen Elizabeth II, note how people have never called her King just because we don't like who she was.

Have the same energy for us trans people. Correct gendering is not conditional on whether you like the person or not.

[Kylie/Alex Brooks - Black trans stud, she/her @queerstudbroalx]

Plenty of Info about the colonialism that Queen Elizabeth II has silently supported or explicitly assented to.

[Kylie/Alex Brooks - Black trans stud, she/her @queerstudbroalx]

This!

One of the noun definitions of English from Oxford Languages in Oxford, England is (emphasis mine):

"***the language of England***, widely used in many varieties throughout the world."

We should all be entitled to decide around protecting ourselves from COVID-19. This would help a bit in reminding everyone that COVID-19 is still real and exists.

[Kylie/Alex Brooks - Black trans stud, she/her @queerstudbroalx]

An example of the harm that Queen Elizabeth II has visited on Africans:

[Global Folder @Global_Folder]

Queen Elizabeth II owns the largest clear cut diamond in the world Known as 'The Great Star of Africa' the 530 carats gem was mined in South Africa back in 1905. It was stolen from South Africa. It has an estimated worth of $400 million.

[Kylie/Alex Brooks - Black trans stud, she/her @queerstudbroalx]

Queen Elizabeth II deserves no honor nor respect. Africans have been harmed by the UK's actions that she endorsed. Also Indigenous people here in the northern part of Turtle Island as well.

If your pedestal of the UK Royalty has been shattered by these convos, good.

@mchua Some of the responses, wowzers, people not examining stuff. And being disabled and trans myself, I doubly appreciate gender neutral toilets esp accessible washrooms. I have been reported for being in a woman's multi stall washroom before once!

[Kylie/Alex Brooks - Black trans stud, she/her @queerstudbroalx]

@mchua @jen_on_wheels Thanks Jen! DMing now.

@MinnieCRiley From reading what others on ODSP have said online, sometimes this is impacted by workers' individual decisions. Not always consistent.

[Kylie/Alex Brooks - Black trans stud, she/her @queerstudbroalx]

@MinnieCRiley Yes I agree.

[Kylie/Alex Brooks - Black trans stud, she/her @queerstudbroalx]

@MinnieCRiley Yes I agrere!

[Kylie/Alex Brooks - Black trans stud, she/her @queerstudbroalx]

@MinnieCRiley Just to clarify, I wasn't recommending anything just sharing what I did at the time.
