26K Followers 888 Following Media as diverse as our world. Join our online community: https://t.co/ULQiHpXlKLOK. I'm super tired but I'm in a Mood, so let me just lay out a thread explaining, 101-style, why protecting trans people and drag queens/kings is vital to protecting gay rights, women's rights and the rights of kids to be themselves 🧵
TERF is an acronym for trans exclusionary rad fem. It's not a slur. If you don't want to be called a terf, stop being trans exclusionary. Cis is NOT an acronym. It is just latin for the opposite of trans. It's not a slur. If you don't want to be called cis, then ~transition~ lol
It’s stupid but I loved my job. I loved the people I worked with. But I’m looking for work now. Gita.sonti.jackson at gmail.
Here’s your #IndigenousPeoplesDay reminder that #LandBack means, and has always meant, an actual return of land to Indigenous control for collective ownership.
Indigenous people are leading the way on climate change mitigation and adaptation because we know our way back to a way of life that wasn’t built on constant growth and consumption. #LandBack is good climate policy.
...rooted almost entirely in the opinions of a minority of medical providers who favor gender-disaffirming approaches & anti-trans activists who are portrayed simply as "concerned parents." that interview should be held up as an indictment against the rest of the media...FIN.
...like I said at the start, I'm glad this episode exists & hope it sways audiences. but it's not so much a great episode as it is an indictment against the rest of the media for dropping the ball on this & allowing hacks to publish "just asking questions" piece after piece...
...are based upon peer-reviewed studies. this is basically journalism 101. and while some journalists do forefront this fact, I have not seen a *prominent* mainstream news reporter do this since... well, Jon Stewart, I guess. which I think is why he's receiving so much praise...
...GOP political word salad mirrored my own frustration & hopefully communicated that to audiences. but the thing is, the main thrust of his questioning was simply citing the fact that all the major medical associations support gender affirmative care and that their guidelines...
...far and away, the best part of the episode is the interview with the Arkansas Attorney General (see clip at the top of this thread – it's worth watching). Stewart does a great job of not letting her weasel out of his questions, and his comedic exasperation at her...
...it f-ing sucks that we're having to re-explain gender spectrums & binaries, and detailing the specifics of trans ppl's transitions all over again. I felt like we had already moved passed this by 2014-15, but now we seem to be back at square one...
...having said that, I honestly found the episode quite depressing. most of it is akin to the "transgender 101"-type workshops I used to give in the early '00s, and which aired on mainstream TV throughout the '00s & early '10s. maybe this is what's needed right now, but...
...first, I am very glad that today, in 2022, amidst the most intense anti-trans backlash of my lifetime, that this episode exists. I hope that it sways some ppl who are trans-suspicious or on the fence to realize the harm that's being perpetrated by anti-trans campaigners...
So in a matter of months, we have gone from, "I just am worried about women's sports" to "I would rather a children's hospital get no money than treat trans adolescents with care supported by every major medical association."
In other words - the government is using millions in relief funding to threaten the state's children's hospital if it doesn't stop care to trans adolescents. And still, they want to attack trans youth more.
Oklahoma has managed to use its COVID-relief special session to cut-off health care to trans adolescents at the largest provider in the state. And there are still calls for a second special session just to enact a statewide ban on care. Here is the bill: webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2021-22…
@nytimes Despite a number of risks, I had surgery to remove cancerous lymph nodes from my head and neck when I was a teenager. I did so because it was needed to save my life. I later had trans-related surgery despite the risks because it was needed to save my life. I regret neither
Funny that she is criticzes others for blocking her when she blocked me three years ago because she didn't like what I had to say.
I had top surgery 13 years ago. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about how it was the best thing I have ever done for my survival. I also had orthopedic knee surgery at 14 and often regret it. But no NYTs pieces about orthopedic regret I see.
