“MrMenno” is a transphobic gay man who loves to pretend that a majority of LGB folks agree with him. Unfortunately for him, that is rarely the case as he found out at a trans-inclusive gay men’s camping weekend. What follows is lots of complaining and a conclusion that he’s “more…
Yeah it’s kind of insane the way lesbians, literally the most trans-positive demographic (even more than literal trans people!) have been cynically weaponized by TERFs as a rhetorical bludgeon—silenced and spoken-for by these overwhelmingly straight crusaders.
There is no conflict between trans people and lesbians. There is a conflict between trans people and a few loud campaigners using lesbians as props for their reactionary agenda. 96% of non-trans lesbians self-describe as supportive of trans people, according to a recent survey.
transphobes scream “let kids be kids” and then force strict gender roles and stereotypes onto them and shame them for doing something that makes them happy but doesn’t fit into societies strict idea of gender.
Pedro Rodríguez had to disable comments on Instagram after facing criticism for sharing photos from his son Marc’s birthday. 😢 Marc chose to celebrate wearing a dress and a tiara, inspired by a Lilo & Stitch theme.
I am fascinated by the way gender coding in clothes only really applies to boys/men these days. If a wee girl dressed up as Bob the Builder for her birthday party folk would just think it was cute. But if a boy wears a dress all hell breaks loose.

Kudos to this mom & dad for letting their son dress up as one of his favorite Disney characters for his birthday, with a dress and a tiara. And shame on all the people in the comments howling about it and throwing slurs and insults at his dad and the kid himself. 😢 You know,…

Says a lot about what’s wrong with the country doesn’t it?
An 82 year old man named Luis Leon came to the US in 1987. He sought asylum from political persecution in Chile. He’s been in the US ever since & was granted a green card. He lost his wallet (and green card) in June & when he went to replace it he was disappeared by ICE 🧵
A Letter to Donald Trump — from a bathtub in Kharkiv Dear Donald My name is Anna. I’m writing this from Ukraine — from Kharkiv — from the bathroom where I’m hiding with my dog from russian rockets and drones. There’s already been nine explosions in the city, by my count. 1/n
The Estonian logic -- that every Russian tank destroyed with a Javelin in Ukraine is a Russian tank that cannot invade Estonia -- should be universal throughout the EU/NATO zone now. Give all your best kit to Ukraine now, get newer kit from the U.S. later.
Gross.
There it is. Republicans just BLOCKED the release of the Epstein Files.
"There’s a reason why we have over 60 F-18s. We just bought 64 F-35s. There’s a reason why we have long-range missiles, air, land and sea. And there’s a reason why we have the biggest artillery in Europe, with Poland. And the reason is not Sweden." — Alexander Stubb, President…
Sadly, they all believed that surely it wasn’t going to be *their* hard-working-but-illegal cousin/aunt/uncle/parent/spouse… Meanwhile, anyone paying attention knew exactly what the real plans were. Stephen Miller and co weren’t coy about it.
Trump basically got elected by running historically well among Hispanic voters for a Republican. Then he entered office and immediately allowed Stephen Miller to implement a white supremacist hate campaign against Latinos in the guise of immigration policy. Guess what…
A reminder that Jeffrey Epstein died under Donald Trump. In a federal facility overseen by his Attorney General, Bill Barr. The same Bill Barr whose father first gave Epstein access to kids and a job at the Dalton School when he had zero qualifications to teach there. The Bill…
We can probably all use this right now.
