It’s my birthday and I took another set of portraits to celebrate. I started taking portraits on my birthday after my egg cracked, and I’m keeping up with the tradition. 1/4

ICE, the overpolicing of black people, the harassment of the unhoused, the permit of violence and sexual assault in prisons, and the implicit or explicit favor of v-coding trans women within prisons all stem from the social permit of carceral force against perceived problem persons. The main difference now is that the scope of who this use of force is acceptable to use against has expanded.

The buried lede in this is that in the last Trump admin, Maduro was indicted for leading Cartel de los Soles, an organization that does not exist and is a turn of phrase in Venezuela that describes corruption. Nevertheless, Trump declared it a terrorist organization back in July. Keep this in mind for the future when it comes to ANTIFA.

Democrats Henry Cuellar, Vicente Gonzalez and Don Davis have voted to make gender affirming care for trans youth a felony. Shame on them for their demonization of trans people and inflicting suffering on those we are meant to protect.

2025-11-16 18:06:56 GMT

People have a hard time quantifying that 1% of a population is still a lot of people. That’s one in a hundred. That’s 3,000 people in my city of 300,000. People just absolutely flabbergasted that statistically they’ve been in spaces with trans people and just never realized it.

Passports didn’t list sex until the 1970s when governments around the world stated freaking out about men with long hair and unisex clothes. Now we pretend like this was some always set, eminently important thing that must carry value. We only got it as enforcement of binary gender.

2025-10-31 20:01:26 GMT

I honestly don’t understand why universal day care is some frought political issue when everyone with a kid will tell you just how much daycare is costing them and how much it factors into the composition of their family. Bitch about the birth rate but do fuck all about it except force births.

But government reflects the ideologies and cultures of the people who enable it. I think there’s this white leftist blind spot of one big idea that covers all issues. That racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia ultimately leads back to classism and by extension capitalism. Defeat that, defeat all.

It’s not really surprising then that a lot of trans people get preoccupied with the form that government takes. I think there’s this idea that a liberal or leftist government of some sort, either a reformation of our current system, or a new one, like communism would solve these issues.

2025-10-25 04:48:10 GMT

Trans life is so precariously tied to government that all it takes is one bad election to make life inhospitable. I’m in NJ, there’s a governor’s race. Depending who wins, I might have to move. It’s a level of stress that other kinds of people don’t experience to the same degree. Not yet anyway.

So no change in system, in of itself, would lead to the eradication of prejudice. It would just change the means of which power is conferred and distributed. And without actual cultural change, there is no guarantee of any directional change in policy. You could get something worse.

But as a black person, I’m not so enamored with this concept since I have to experience how deep, how base something like racism is. Like, babies display outgroup prejudices, kids discriminate on sex and race at three. There’s no Elon Musk that made them that way, they just are.

If you’re reading this on Bluesky or Threads, know that the moderation will be going crazy from here on out. Even if the law cannot compel these companies to filter out speech, they will act to preserve themselves. The future of American social media is information blackouts. By extension the world.

And it also tests the waters of what a “child” is, bumping it up to 19, which opens doors to attempts to include up to under 25s, which has been a pretty common refrain of Republicans in state government.

Concerningly, it calls for the complete elimination of all policies derived from WPATH, and seeks to find “alternative facts” similarly to the Cass Review in the UK, whilst also banning any research into gender affirming care.
It looks to prosecute any doctors performing bottom surgery for trans mascs under female genital mutilation statutes, seemingly regardless of age.

2025-01-28 23:31:16 GMT

Yet another anti trans executive order, this one seeking to forcibly detransition and disallow transition of anyone under 19, and seek the prosecution of anyone who supports them.
This one follows the paternalistic language that’s pretty common with anti-trans policies regarding children. Namely it defines gender affirming care as “genital mutilation”, and uses language talking about how trans men may miss breastfeeding their children
