Maybe if the cookies have THC in them, and "gravy" is code for green chile sauce. I can't think of a way to make grits work for Colorado, but there is probably a place that serves them in Denver.

Jesse Singal: β€œI don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. β€” Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

Many alleged suicides of Black trans women are in fact modern-day lynchings, report finds Jill Collen Jefferson, the founder of JULIAN, explains what happens when a transgender woman’s death is ruled a suicide and a community calls it something else.

This is terrifying

Science of sex and gender being misrepresented by Trump officials, experts warn Scientists say crackdown on gender-affirming care could have impact on healthcare of all Americans

Major thanks to @melodyschreiber.com for interviewing me about what biology actually says about sex & gender

Unscientific attacks on trans rights are fueled by fascism, not science, and harm all of us - cis or trans

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back.

It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.

I understand the instinct to donate to orgs that are helping trans folks flee red states but let's not forget about the orgs that are still fighting for trans folks in red states.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

Using clock it to signal support for the erasure of trans people is the very violence we talk about in the appropriation and erasure of culture. Especially black queer, black trans culture.

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across.

If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.

If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

I know I know I shouldn't be surprised by anything but it's pretty unreal that a bigot this obviously committed to trans destruction gets to do shit like this

Asking "why won't trans people simply disappear" another 10,000 times won't actually make it happen.

House passes bill banning β€˜leftist indoctrination’ and LGBTQ+ teaching in public schools β€’ New Hampshire Bulletin New Hampshire House Republicans are moving forward with a new attempt to regulate teaching on race, history, and LGTBQ+ issues in public schools. On Thursday, the chamber passed a bill that would ban ...

NH state house passes "CHARLIE Act," which bans teaching, I kid you not, "critical consciousness" & "prohibited world-views," such as that queer people exist, or that slavery involved race, or, implicitly, that the Nazis murdered Jews based on identity. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/19/h...

'The MHRA's rigorous trial of the efficacy of condoms - placed on the member post-coitus - concluded that their benefits were overstated. The Secretary of State for Health, Wesley Streeting, heralded the trial as exactly the sort of evidence-led medicine for which he had always advocated.'

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

MAGA like their sex categories neat. Nature doesn’t actually have a line between the sexes. If we want a line, we have to draw it on nature!

There are XY females & XX males from birth. No scientist disagrees with this. XY peeps have given birth.
