In the fediverse since 2017. I mostly talk sports. If something on the internet doesn’t spark joy, mute it.

Do not yell at me simply because I am in front of you and the people responsible for the problems are not. It is extremely unpleasant.

  • Bathroom bills are insane to start, but to be extremely clear, even under a bathroom bill, this couple did nothing wrong: an afab enby used a women’s restroom while their partner waited outside, which is exactly the behavior bathroom bills attempt to enforce. The crime here is “existing while trans” plain and simple

    Near the end of a lakeside barbecue with friends at Cypress Black Bayou Park, Shae Sanders (a nonbinary person assigned female at birth) used the women’s restroom just as they usually do. As their partner, Aurora Rush, waited outside for them, a man approached her, used slurs against her, threatened to beat her up if she entered the women’s restroom, and tried to get her to fight, trans journalist S. Baum reported.

    When Sanders exited the restroom, a crowd of at least 10 men and women had formed around Rush, blocking their exit, calling her a “trny” and a “fgot,” allegedly threatening to murder her, saying they’d stop her from using the restroom by “any means necessary,” and proclaiming that their violence would protect children.









  • I had two aunts who I think of as lesbians: one who was out and in a relationship and had rainbow literally everything and introduced me to Dio, and one who was very religious and (to the best of my knowledge) single her whole life because she “had a problem with men” and introduced me to women’s sports. Both of them are so important to me and I am so grateful for their role in my life, and it has been so formative to my understanding of why it is critical to treat queer people with love and respect when I compare their lives and experiences.
