I don't mean sexualizing us or watching trans porn.

I don't mean treating trans mascs like "uwu soft baby boy" and trans femmes as "yass queen girl boss".

I don't mean expecting praise for using the right pronouns and using incorrect ones when "they're a bad trans person".

I mean ACTUAL SUPPORT.

This is incredibly alarming. Even agreeing to be labeled as your birth sex is not sufficient. They want to deny trans people the ability to leave the country. Any possible reason for this is horrifying.

Ryan Castellucci, who is challenging the UK government to follow its own rules and grant them a nonbinary gender recognition certificate, is in court tomorrow morning.

This is a huge case. Ryan has a really good case and good representation, and if Ryan wins then it would be a decisive and dramatic step in the direction of nonbinary rights in the UK.

Ryan is asking for supporters to attend tomorrow (Tuesday 21st Jan), at 9:30am. The location is Court 63 at The Royal Courts of Justice in Central London. (Search for CA-2024-000474 here.) Dress smartly, and behave quietly and respectfully.

Harvard's Secret Court: The Savage 1920 Purge of Campus Homosexuals

William Wright

In 2002, a researcher for The Harvard Crimson came across a restricted archive labeled Secret Court Files, 1920. The mystery he uncovered involved a tragic scandal in which Harvard University secretly put a dozen students on trial for homosexuality and then systematically and persistently tried to ruin their lives. In May of 1920, Cyril Wilcox, a freshman suspended from Harvard, was found sprawled dead on his bed, his room filled with gas--a suicide. The note he left behind revealed his secret life as part of a circle of (cut young) homosexual students. The resulting witch hunt and the lives it cost remains one of the most shameful episodes in the history of America's premiere university. Supported by legendary Harvard President Lawrence Lowell, Harvard conducted its investigation in secrecy. Several students committed suicide; others had their lives destroyed by an ongoing effort on the part of Harvard to destroy their reputations. Harvard's Secret Court is a deeply moving indictment of the human toll of intolerance and the horrors of injustice that can result when a powerful institution loses its balance.

Here's a tumblr post I found with additional information about what's been happening.

Transgender community, please please please do NOT use this product! It will kill you if used, please do not use it whatsoever.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

The House will vote THIS WEEK to determine whether the incoming Trump administration will have the power to shut down non-profit organizations with no due process.

Congress has already tried to fast-track this legislation once and failed because of the onslaught of calls to their offices. We can’t let them do this quietly. Congress giving Trump the power to crush dissent and target organizations fighting for justice is a betrayal. Tell your representatives to vote NO on this dangerous bill!
