    Sometimes the hardest person to convince that you belong is yourself. A personal reflection on missed girlhood, femininity, gender expression and learning that womanhood does not require proof.

  4. regardless of characteristics including race, ethnicity, caste, color, age, physical characteristics #neurodiversity, disability, sex or gender, #GenderIdentity or expression, #SexualOrientation, language, #PhilosophyOrReligion, national or #SocialOrigin, #SocioEconomic position, level of education

  5. The #transphobe defence of #EnochBurke says he is a "#Christian" who opposes "fantasy" about #genderIdentity.

    Reality: the #BurkeFamily's religion is based on a claimed #virginbirth, and the #Trinity: god is a father and his son and a ghost. These core beliefs of #Christians have zero scientific evidence.

    Yet overwhelming scientific evidence shows that for #trans people, gender transition leads to improved wellbeing. E.g. whatweknow.inequality.cornell.

    Time to be harsh with Christian fantasists.

  8. Texas A&M is banning #Plato, citing his “#GenderIdeology.”

    Brittany Allen January 12, 2026

    "Today, Texas A&M resumes classes for the spring semester—but a number of canonized texts will not be welcomed back to school. The public research university has lately been caught in the crossfire between state and stupid.

    As The Texas Tribune has reported, faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences were informed just last week that 'a new system policy restricting classroom discussions of race and gender' is set to take effect today.

    The policy, engineered and approved by the Texas A&M University Regents last November, requires that the school’s president sign off on every syllabus with an eye to scrubbing 'problematic' content. But the foes were loosely framed.

    Under the new restrictions, gender ideology is defined as 'a concept of self-assessed #GenderIdentity replacing, and disconnected from, the biological category of sex.' Race ideology entails 'attempts to shame a particular race or ethnicity' or anything that 'promotes activism on issues related to race or ethnicity rather than academic instruction.'

    As a European history professor pointed out at the time, this wording could effectively prohibit a professor from teaching about the Holocaust.

    The regents used AI analysis software to audit syllabi for unapproved content. Thanks to this rude mech, 200 courses have been cancelled, stripped of core curricular credit value, or forced into revision.

    The hammer came down over the weekend for assorted religion, film, ethnic studies, sociology, communications, and literature classes. And in a truly-beyond-parody move, a philosophy professor, Martin Peterson, was told to 'either remove ‘modules on race and gender ideology' ' from his course, or be reassigned to teach a different class entirely.

    Most philosophy nerds will recognize the 'gender ideology' readings in question, which are lifted from the Symposium. The university apparently quibbled with Plato’s reference the the 'Myth of #Androgyne,' in which #Aristophanes describes three genders.

    Most musical theatre nerds will also catch the reference—the same myth was called up in #JohnCameronMitchell and #StephenTrask’s epic ballad, 'The Origin of Love,”'from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

    Even as we note the rise of smoothbrain rhetoric sea to sea, the fact that Plato has been deemed inappropriate for an Introduction to Philosophy course is a surreal escalation of terms.

    Meanwhile, A&M students are set to be deprived of so much recent world. Including but not limited to 'literature with major plot lines that concern #gay, #lesbian or #transgender identities,' #feminist and #queer film, or #race and #ethnicity as a subject…fullstop.

    As Abby Monteil at them reports, these curricular restrictions have all trickled down from the Trump administration, which continues to dangle federal funding as a carrot for universities compliant with its agenda. We simply hate to see it.

    As you go about your reading today, pour one out for the Aggies."

  9. Sometimes trying not to make a big deal about your not quite so binary gender identity (because you feel too old for that and also can't seem to find the right words) leads to you standing in front of your bathroom mirror for about twenty minutes, feeling like an imposter and a traitor and generally wrong and very sorry for yourself, because a friend who doesn't know said something kind about you - but in relation to your perceived gender.

  10. Today, I took an important step forward—I submitted the form to update my gender marker. Soon, I’ll finally have a government ID that reflects my true self. It feels incredible to align this piece of my identity with who I really am.

    I think the post stamp is really fitting.

  11. The policy reads: “#USAFencing will not #discriminate on the basis of #genderidentity, regardless of #sexassignedatbirth, or any other form of #gender #expression for #participation in any division. As such, #athletes will be permitted to participate in USA-#Fencing-sanctioned #events in a manner consistent with their #genderidentity/ #expression, regardless of the #gender associated with the #sex they were assigned at #birth.”
