Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.
I have no words for how incompetent the Kansas government is. Imagine if they'd just had this law go into effect in June like every other law they passed.... or idk just not passed it at all.
I've got the nostalgia factor going for me 😛
You should check out SG: Atlantis, it takes place in the Pegasus galaxy 😁
KC-135 > all
I remember when the KC-10 was supposed to replace them
A ten second roll of thunder followed by pouring rain. Spring is here.
It's great. I highly recommend.
⚡️US joins Russia, China in opposing IAEA resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Cody Khork, a student at Webster University, was a captain in the U.S. Army Reserve and stationed in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. He was killed alongside five other service members in the war with Iran. (@stlpublicradio.bsky.social)
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.

Your smile is the same but everything else has changed!
Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric.
So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.
🤤
The US and Israel launched strikes across Iran this morning. Iran has responded by firing ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, and US bases in the region. Civilians have already been killed or injured in multiple countries, caught in the crossfire.
I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.
Why are instant mashed potatoes so good. Like you come from a bag bub, that's not how that's supposed to work.

Best thread that shows how absolutely rushed this KS bill was. They wanted as little public scrutiny as possible.
So the reason there have been no new features is because I live in Kansas and for the past year have been fighting like hell with my fellow activists to try and stop two bills from passing.
The two bills are SB 63 (kslegislature.gov/li/b2025_26/...) and SB 244 (kslegislature.gov/li/b2025_26/...)
do you care about trans people?
cool!
cancel your new york times subscription!
oh, but you just play the games? thats the worst argument you could've made!
go fuck yourself!
being trans online is like [posts a silly joke] [sees news abt government trying to exterminate us] [like funny post by trans friend] [more news about gov wanting us dead] [repost funny joke] [trans friend shares horrible news about insurance issues/sexual violence/abusive family] [sees funny post]
This is what I need cis folks to understand.
It's been a decade.
Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it
To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.
Erin's reporting is, as always, impeccable.
What many may not know, however, is that once a license is issued, the holder has a property interest in that license that is protected by the 14th Amendment.
This goes back to Bell v Burson (1972).

The same law also allows individuals to sue trans people for using public bathrooms.
can I please piggyback off you as a Bigger Account that responses like "lol it's Kansas what did you expect" or "Kansas deserves to be hit by more tornadoes" are actually not helpful or comforting to the people being harmed most right now? Because no one bothers listening to me
Part of the reason the whole country hasn't been screaming about trans Kansans who drive being made criminals overnight is because there's so much else that's unconstitutional and horrifying.
But part of it is because it's happening to trans people.
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
