How are they going to check this?
How many cis women are they going to order to undress so they can make sure they're not trans?
Why do we always have bring harm to cis people in to the reasons this is bad to try and get people to care?
1. The Trump Administration just opened the door for ICE to target anyone suspected of being trans.
Under a new rule, the State Department will be able to declare that trans people “misrepresented” themselves during the visa process and revoke their status.

CJEU press release: Member State legislation which does not permit the amendment of the gender data of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to freedom of movement is contrary to EU law A Bulgarian national was registered at birth as being male, with a name, personal identification number and identity documents corresponding to that sex. She currently lives in Italy, where she has begun hormone therapy, and now presents herself as a woman. She instituted proceedings before the Bulgarian courts seeking a declaration that she is a female person and to have her civil status data amended on her birth certificate. Despite the medical opinions and legal assessments confirming the gender identity claimed, her request was rejected. According to national legislation, as interpreted by the plenary assembly of civil chambers of the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation, the term ‘sex’ must be understood in its biological sense, excluding any amendment of the particulars relating to sex, name and identification number. The public interest, based on the moral and/or religious values of Bulgarian society, thus prevails over the interests of transgender persons. Hearing the dispute, the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation has doubts as to the compatibility of that legislation with EU law and has referred the matter to the Court of Justice. In its judgment, the Court holds that EU law precludes legislation of a Member State which does not permit the amendment of the gender data in the civil status registers of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to move and reside freely in another Member State. The Court emphasises first of all that, while the issue of identity documents falls within the competence of the Member States, they must exercise that competence in compliance with EU law...
Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity
scientific surveys will be like "this is a professional scientific survey by scientific professionals" and then give the worst gender response options ever dreamt up by cis men
Trans healthcare needs to be led by trans people, to be accountable to trans communities and trans youth.
Folks who don't believe in the existence of a trans child cannot continue to hold the reins of healthcare policy and governance.
This is where we start.
We can't combat an exercise in power & domination over trans youth by showing them the errors in their homework.
The errors here are so obvious.
They are intentional.
They are almost showing off - how little pretense at 'evidence' is needed to subjugate trans youth.
Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people.
This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists.
The study underpinning this played one particular trick.
Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

Vor einigen Jahren war es noch kompliziert, über das deutsche Bundesarchiv NSDAP-Mitgliedschaften abzufragen. Nun haben die National Archives in den USA anscheinend die gesamte Zentralkartei ins Netz gestellt. Jedenfalls ein sehr tolles Tool für Mikrogeschichte. catalog.archives.gov/id/12044361

Far-right authoritarian tactics to socially marginalize, intimidate, and disenfranchise a group. The oppression of one group signals to others you could be next. This goes far beyond bigotry. The authoritarian playbook enabled and empowered by anti-trans and anti-woke actors.
Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Chief Miles Edward O'Brien (who can parallel park a train) is sitting on a loveseat in his quarters, in his standard golden uniform. Chief O'Brien (who can gargle sand) is sitting next to a young girl, also on the loveseat. They're separated awkwardly with a space in between. She's wearing normal people clothes not starfleet stuff, and is looking down and sad. He's looking off and away as if slightly uneasy. In frame 2, O'Brien (who doesn't wear a watch because he decides what time it is) is looking over at the girl as if he just had an idea and can't decide whether or not to say it. In frame 3, O'Brien (who can squeeze an oak tree back into an acorn) seems to have decided to say what was on his mind in frame 2. Closed caption reads, "I could use a... cup of coffee."

CN Arofeindlichkeit
In der Aro Week #ASAW muss leider auch über Arofeindlichkeit gesprochen werden.
Das Konzept der Amatonormativität beschreibt die Annahme, dass sich jede*r eine romantischen Beziehung wünscht. Viele Aros fallen aus den sich daraus ergebenden Erwartungen raus.

Der Satz "Mein Opa wurde im KZ vergast, meine Tochter in Hanau erschossen" von Filip Goman, dem Vater von Mercedes Kierpacz, bringt die Kontinuität deutscher Täterschaft auf den Punkt.
Hätte dieses Land IRGENDWAS aus seiner Vergangenheit gelernt, wäre Hanau nicht passiert.
why won’t the left just praise every technology handed down from self-interested billionaires seeking only to enhance their power and profits?! clearly, they’re the ones in the wrong if they can’t get on board 😤
Die Debatte zu Jugendlichen und sozialen Medien passiert fast ausschließlich unter der Annahme, dass junge Menschen zuhause sicher, unterstützt und akzeptiert sind. Die Realität ist natürlich eine andere. Soziale Medien sind eben auch eine Möglichkeit mit dieser Realität umzugehen.
I don't know how you can honestly look at the last 7 years of thousands of anti-trans bills, a billion in anti-trans spending, laser focus by right wing think tanks, and billionaires personally engaged in the effort and think that all of this is a backlash to some trans people being mean online.
Lines of academy cadets, one in command red seated but at attention while in a wheelchair.
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.
...this better be worth being on the Bavarian criminal office pink list
👆 Hello new government name (& bye legal gender entry)! Here's what you need to know:
You called me Gwendolyn? Call me Gwyn.
You called me Gwen? Call me Gwyn.
You called me Gwenny? Great, keep calling me Gwenny :)
One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.
“The suppression of gender studies is not only an attempt to suppress a critical analytical tool, but also knowledge itself.”
but we're not **obsessed**
there's people on the right who can't make any decision, decode any social interaction, think of themselves in any way, save through an essentialist gender lens
their entire project is inseparable from neurotic fears of forced feminisation
now, they will say, its us with our feminism & pronouns who are obsessed
no, we think it matters, we think it's part of people's identities, we think its consequential - clearly gender informs a lot of our language, social conventions, how we process politics even
the modern right is pathologically obsessed with gender in a way that has absolutely no analogue on our side
