Guess I'm not going to the UK now.
The legal definition of a woman in the UK now excludes trans people after a Supreme Court ruling defined sex as 'biological sex'

This is everything you need to know about the ruling 👇

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

My band is considering a European tour next summer. I will likely not go, as I'm not at all sure I won't be detained at the border trying to come back into the country. Fun times for a trans woman.

MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant.

This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech.

When DOGE cuts aviation safety and planes crash, when Medicaid is demolished and your community hospital closes, when trans care is banned through pulling funding, when Musk subverts democracy…

These dems own it.

1. OPINION: Governor Newsom’s Depraved MAGA Betrayal Mandates Mass Resistance From LGBTQ+ Californians.

Newsom's transphobic rhetoric in his interview with Charlie Kirk is an attack on Californian democracy that must be met with resistance from LGBTQ people.

Newsom’s capricious rhetoric attacking LGBTQ+ Californians will be met by massive protest and resistance from within his state, and activists must mobilize to end his political future.

You've read the stories about Gavin Newsom throwing transgender people under the bus in sports, prisons, and gender affirming care for trans youth.

Now watch the video and listen.

It's as bad as it sounds. He betrayed trans people and threw us under a bus driven by Charlie fucking Kirk.

Everywhere I’ve ever been, you could always just walk in whatever bathrooms there were. It’s not like they card at the door. The social stigma against being a creepy pest is all that ever stopped you, and that doesn’t change because trans people exist and need to use the bathroom sometimes.
Ex-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel spouts transphobic talking points to Bill Maher.

"Look, in seventh grade, if I had known that I could have said the word ‘They’ and got in the girls bathroom, I would have done it."
Ex-Chicago mayor rips current city leaders for focus on bathroom and locker room instead of crime, education
During HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel blasted city leadership for failing the city on safety and educational standards.

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was:

* first awarded under Trump
* paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom
* for researching *defenses* against deception
* not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

Record your practice! Listening to playback gives time to rest and an opportunity to give feedback for improvement. Think what you'd tell a student if you had just listened to them play what you've recorded. Be your own teacher first and foremost!

This is part of why I'm so visibly out and proud. I wish I had an example to follow when I was younger, so I'll just be that example now.
lrt one of my main goals in life is to be so loudly transgender that I nudge people into starting hormones
