5/6/1933, exactly 90 years ago today the Nazis sacked Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology, destroying countless scientific research into queer Healthcare including transition procedures for trans people. The most famous pictures of a Nazi book-burning are from this event.
One of my coworkers last year, who talked a big game of supporting GNC people, would always "mistakenly" misgender NB people and then apologize with the excuse "sorry, I'm old and this stuff is hard for me." But 1/2
I've been fired from my job with the Forest Service because of the lies published by the Daily Mail, Newsweek, and other right-wing tabloids. But more poignantly: I was fired by the Biden administration for being a trans woman that owns a gun.
This, btw, is an everyday experience for trans people, especially those of us who don't pass. Cis people throw all the "it's rude to stare" stuff they were taught as children out the window, openly staring, often outright glaring and mocking us, right there to our faces.
@ZoAndBehold
works from the lunch counter outside the House of Representatives chamber today because a group of women have been occupying the bench she used last week.

Don't take your dysphoria and regret out on other trans people, especially trans people who are celebrating themselves and being happy in their bodies. *Especially* young trans people.
when I came out to him and told him my pronouns are she/her, he never missed a beat in refering to me as they/them, ever. Those are the only pronouns he used to refer to me the rest of the season. 2/2
She, of course, isn't the only one at fault. My boss could have ignored her, he could have done the right thing and defended my rights by simply doing nothing and letting me continue doing my job. He is by far the most at fault here.
No wait, I take that back. I recall overhearing him calling me she once near the end of the season and it sounded like he was about to have an embolism. He paused for almost a whole 2 seconds before he finally said "she", and even then he basically spat the word out.
And when I say the Biden administration I mean literally that. My boss just called me, crying, to tell me that he did everything he could to stop this outcome but the call to fire me came directly from Washington. So someone fairly high in the Department of Agriculture fired me.
I will say that I do often stumble and accidently misgender NB actors with some frequency, like Ezra Miller and Emma D'arcy. Because I don't know them in real life, I only know the characters they play which are all cisgender.
I will say that I worked for Forest Service on the Pike-San Isabelle National Forest, whose headquarters is in Pueblo Colorado, and let yall do with that what you will.

As someone from the area let me correct a few things:
Kelly Bowen is the man in that photo, the woman is his wife, Carrie.
Kelly is so far right that most of his friends won’t talk to him anymore and he’s bragged about committing domestic arms trafficking recently.
@saintneighbor
Lots of them have done it, including one of Colorados very own 3rd district representative in the House, Lauren Boebert. She does it all the time, it's like her whole thing.
@Mumu95640884
So you're saying people don't actually deserve 1st or 2nd amendment rights. If your employer can fire you for having a gun and posting about it, especially a federal employer, that is absolutely a violation of those rights.
The institute pioneered research into gender studies and Healthcare. It is the hospital where the very first successful "sex reasignment" surgeries were performed on a trans people, including Lili Elbe.
However, the knowledge of how many of these procedures were accomplished was lost when it was destroyed by the Nazis. Most of the trans healthcare we have now had to be reinvented after World War Two.
For what it's worth, every tabliod that has written an article about me has published complete lies. The only truth in any of them is that the photos they use are from a video I published. As you can see I posted it on March 5th, almost a month BEFORE the Nashville shooting.
@PicatinnyRailed
Unfortunately I do. My situation has not improved. Unemployment only authorized me for $89 a week, and a maximum of $1288, and I'm having trouble getting on Medicare. I am honestly not doing well mentally right now.
I experience this every single time I go out in public. When they're confronted about it they blame me, openly admitting that they believe being trans in public is an invitation for people to treat us this way.
Literally the exact same thing they did to me: publish outright libelous articles twisting the truth to make it sound like she did something that she did not do in order to make her the target of international conservative hatred in the hope that it destroys her life.
@LookN2MyEyeZZ
Yes. I posted it on March 5th. It was in mainly in response to Micheal Knowels calling for our eradication at CPAC the night before, but also in response to numerous death threats I had been recieving for a while.
My life would have been immeasurably better if I had been able to just get puberty blockers at about 12 so I could have avoided androgenic puberty. That's not an exaggeration, I literally cannot fully quantify all the ways in which my life would have been improved by that.
Got gendered correctly by several different strangers today without my mask on (outside) and after having conversations with each of them. It didn't seem like they were just being polite either, they genuinely just saw a woman. I could get used to that.
I guess I have to stop every day now to remind people that the Nazis absolutely genocided more than just Jewish people. Most especially gay men, trans women, and Roma people. They sent gay men and trans women to the death camps wearing the pink triangle and Roma wearing the black
You demanding that they restrain their happiness so you don't have to see it cause it makes you upset is not effectively different than the transphobes trying to force them back into the closet. Your misery is not their responsibility.
@BananaChiqa
I never lied, it says it right there at the bottom. And I never hid what this was over, it's thr fucking pinned tweet on my fucking profile you pompous dirtbrain.
Hey, don't do this. While I was mistaken about the gender of the person that got me fired (he's actually a man), the sentiment behind this statement is not good. It does nothing to help trans women nor women in general.
Here's the "protect the children" conservatives stalking and posting photos of a literal child and then fantasizing about that child being raped in prison.
If you insist in any manner that trans people aren't facing discrimination I'm going to immediately block you. I don't care how long we've known each other or how well we've interacted in the past. I'm not tolerating that shit.
Like, I get it. I *deeply* regret not transitioning as soon as I turned 18 as well. It bothers me every single day. But that is a *me problem*. I do everything I can to keep it from effecting other people, as should you. Don't drag your clouds over their parade.
Transphobes got this note added to this tweet citing incorrect information from biased sources. Please rate it unhelpful so it gets taken down. It's not only untrue but dangerous.
Good morning! A reminder that healthcare for transgender people is settled science. Every major medical association supports this critical life-saving care.
I use the block feature very liberally. I am not here to debate anyone. This is not 2015, I do not care about avoiding an "echo chamber". If you annoy me I will block you.
You know what's not cool? Mysoginy. You're not an ally when you use mysoginistic slurs, not even when your target is a woman that's a horrible bigot. You're not helping women by spreading the very hate that we're fighting against.
I also did not threaten anyone. Self defense is a right guaranteed in the US, and I merely expressed that I would defend myself *if I am attacked.* You can see that right there in the post's caption.
I'm about to do my first ever job interview presenting as a woman, wearing makeup and a dress. A pretty huge milestone for me. I didn't have the confidence to do this the last time I did job interviews a year ago, I stayed in the closet for them then.
@wallet_haver
Cool, but NATO has done absolutely nothing to oppose the creation of these Zone, like it does absolutely nothing to defend queer people in any member nation, like here in the US or in Türkiye. It's words of "support" are completely hollow.
Cool, good. I'm glad I get to live in a time where medical science has ensured that getting an HIV diagnosis is almost no big deal. Where kids like this get to eagerly vlog about it in informative and entertaining videos instead of plan their funeral like it was just 30 y/a.
I can offer some insight that I have learned from this: people oftsn point out that most people aren't transphobic, and that is true. But most people are, at best, indifferent to our plight. And those people instantly become opposed to any of us that doesn't behave "correctly".
After every single time there is a genocide all the people who sat around and let it happen say "Never again", and then they proceed to let it happen again.
REMOVAL OF CHILDREN FROM FAMILIES IS LITERALLY IN THE UN DEFINITION OF GENOCIDE
They did this to:
Indigenous people
POC
Jews
And many more
Did we learn nothing from the Holocaust... from the genocide of indigenous peoples?
Guess we didn't😥
I am not nor have I ever been affiliated with any groups planning or conducting a "trans day of vengeance". Ask the tabloids for their sources on that, they'll tell you that it comes from right-wing twitter accounts posting about me, like the one above. They made it up.
Here's a fun one.
These pictures are just 11 months apart. I've only been on HRT for 16 months. So if you think I still "look like a man", just look at the difference between these pictures and imagine how I'll look by April 2024...
@IPizza666
If someone thinks like that they're already a Fascist before knowing about it. Teaching people about our history is not going to make them fascists out of the blue.
Honestly, this is probably the best evidence against claims that Musk is autistic or has ADHD. One of the most consistent aspects of those conditions is that certain chemicals, like aderal and Ritalin, and caffeine, effect our brains differently.
In addition, I condemn the Nashville shooter for the monster they were. There is never an excuse to murder children. Ever. I have never said anything in support of them, or any other mass shooter, ever. Nor would I. I have never voiced support for any kind violence such as that.
Another day I get to wake up free from the tyranny of facial hair.
14 laser sessions and 4 electrolysis sessions, over the course of a year and 3 months, is what it took to get from this.......................................to this.
"Do you want the movies and shows you love to be ruined by bad writing?"
No, but if studios are dumb and greedy enough to do that instead of pay writers properly, then so be it. The point of a strike is that it causes problems, that's how it works.
As I've said before: the only thing I've ever owned firearms for, and support their use for, is recreation and self defense. And twisting that phrase to claim I "meant that I would attack people that I think are threatening me" is a gross hypocritical lie.
The usual - in my opinion - hyped-up, mis-information, sensationalised, lie-of-a-heading utilised here by the right-wing Daily Mail to promote "outrage" and transphoic propoganda
As usual it won't get challenged of checked by so the so called "independant"

People adopting symbols to more specifically represent themselves is not a sign of division. That's an outright absurd concept. People can use both a broad symbol for the larger group they are a part of alongside a more specific symbol for their smaller group within the larger.
And that is not only a right guaranteed in the US, but it is a right that the conservatives that are slandering and harassing me love to tout. They are showing that they only support "rights for me but not for thee".
Self defense means, as I said in the original post, that I would use force to defend myself from people that "come for me". As in you come to me in my home or my work or while Im in public and attack me physically.
Her missing the first few shots isn't even the best part. The last few aren't hers. You can clearly tell at the end that she's just pointing an empty rifle at those cans and someone off screen is shooting them for her.
Yep. One of the worst lies of the 90s was that they went on their shooting spree as retaliation for being bullied. In truth everyone hated them because they were the racist bullies, not victims of it.
One of the biggest eye openers for me was finding out that the Columbine shooters were ostracized by their classmates because they were waaay into the Nazis things just...clicked together.
The reason I posted the video is because I had been getting death threats for months, as most trans people do. In addition, the day before Michael Knowles had called for "the eradication of transgenderism" at the CPAC conference.
@HarberJennie
@BananaChiqa
I said the Biden administration. And you seriously telling me you'd expect them to be 100% honest and put "we fired you cause we don't like trans people having guns and posting about it" on there? That would be torpedoing their own case.
In addition, when the camps were liberated every other group was allowed to leave except those wearing a pink triangle. They were kept in the camps until they were transfered to regular prisons because the Nazi laws against queerness were upheld.
