Lilly Wachowski. She helped make one of the most profitable film properties of the last 30 years. She cannot get her next one funded, because the cast is heavily trans and the anti-trans fucklords decided that's a risk. She said so publicly instead of letting the industry file it as a scheduling problem. #TransRights #LGBTQ #QueerNews #Heroes #Solidarity #MutualAid #Community #Film #PublicHealth #Gaelic #ScottishGaelic #Pride

He came to make them smaller and alone. They answered by naming themselves plural.
When did a neighborhood last build something in the gap somebody tried to smash open?

A local artist, Elyse Doyle-Martinez, painted the board a rainbow before most people had heard there'd been a crime. Making art in the moment as a response is what she said she always wants to do.
Then the store cut a check to Elevate Queer Yolo and the Davis Phoenix Coalition, and told the vandal the money came as a direct result of his hate.

A brick went through the front window of a family pharmacy in Woodland, California, on a weekend, because the store hung a sign that read Hate Has No Business Here.
Nobody convened what happened next. Longtime customers, friends and family turned up Sunday morning with plywood and a drill. #LGBTQ #QueerNews #MutualAid #Solidarity #TransRights #Pride #StreetArt #California #CommunityCare #Journalism #Art #Woodland

Many years in. A clearance. A chain of command that calls many queer persons existence a readiness problem. Queer Service members know.
We've learned what the Secretary calls us by checking our phones between shifts.

The Secretary of War said a slur about trans troops at the Iowa State Fair, then called his department "gender-neutral" in the same breath.
Twenty-one states are in court on trans healthcare. Winning.

Twenty-one states are already in court on trans healthcare. Winning.
He handed opposing counsel their exhibit and then went and got a corn dog.
She's still at her post. Only one of those two people is defending a damn thing.

Gender-neutral. Out of the mouth that just used a gendered slur about the exact class of persons he fuckin throws out of the building.
Here's the part his press shop can't shovel away. Judges get a great deal less generous about a policy serving some real government interest when the official enforcing it uses slurs against the people it targets. #TransRights #Trans #QueerNews #LGBTQ #Hegseth #IowaStateFair #Iowa #Journalism #uspol #Politics #Veterans #Solidarity

11 years in. A clearance. A signature on a form. And a chain of command that has decided her existence is bullshit.
She is at Bragg or Riley or Carson tonight. She checked her phone between shifts. That is where she learned what the man running her department calls her — said forty feet from a butter cow at the Iowa State Fair, in a speech where he called the place colorblind. #TransRights #Trans #QueerNews #LGBTQ #Hegseth #IowaStateFair #Journalism #uspol #Politics #Veterans

Julia Curlee gave the CIA 20 years. 4 presidents, 3 wars, daily briefings to Mike Pence. Then Laura Loomer posted about a trans "holdover." Her badge got fucked. No reason given. Ended by a post. thistleandmoss.com/p...

Here's what the marker never solves: nothing. They just told nine hundred pages' worth of readers exactly which paragraph was worth having.
The lever: say the page out loud. Name the passage they cut.
Censorship dies of being indexed. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/time-to-nuke-oman-south-korea-because-they-wont-help-orange-shitler#queerisms-where-are-we-today?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica

The Russian edition of Hope: The Autobiography went out with the LGBTQ+ sections cut or blacked through. Published worldwide in 2025; published in Russia only this year, only after the surgery.
Nearly 600 books banned there since 2022 under the "propaganda" regime. Alpina Publishing has said precisely nothing. It took a dead pontiff. WTF.

Some russian asshole read it first. That's the part that won't leave me. Somebody sat with the passage where Francis said gay and trans people are welcomed by the church, understood it and said fuck no, Russians are not reading this.

CW: CW: Anti-trans politics, medical records
Ask why the standard of proof for one man's forearm is a shrug, and the standard for a fifteen-year-old's endocrinology is a grand jury subpoena.
Show me the records, they said. They meant yours.

CW: CW: Anti-trans politics, medical records
Four separate explanations for one bruised arm. Handshakes. Then chronic venous insufficiency. Then a signing table in Switzerland. Then a forearm no handshake in the recorded history of the species has ever reached.
The same government spent a year subpoenaing hospitals for the confidential medical files of transgender children #TransRights #Trans #LGBTQ #QueerNews #News #Journalism #Resist #Solidarity #uspol #MedicalPrivacy #Politics #Accountability

Lilly Wachowski helped build a franchise that printed money for thirty years. She cannot get her next film funded. The cast is heavily trans. Because no movie house will touch it. #TransPanic is real. And its fucking taking a hold.

A count is a thing a person made with a pen. And it isnt even a fucking count. Its ZERO! Who's holding the pen, and when did anybody ask them? When did I ask them? I didn't. And Neither did any of you. Fuck our trans hating overlords.

Not few. Not declining. Zero — zero isn't even a goddamned number.
30 years ago the reference point was a man-in-a-dress joke in Ace Ventura (
I HATE THAT FUCKING MOVIE WITH A PASSION). From that bottom we climbed, up through a decade where trans people just turned up in things, incidental & unremarked. Now, that is all being taken away. I am fucking tired. Ready to give up.#TransRights #LGBTQ #QueerNews #TransVisibility #Representation #Film #Cinema #Hollywood #Journalism #Media #Pride

225 films. 0 trans characters. FUCKING ZERO!!!!
That's GLAAD's count of the ten biggest distributors' 2025 slates — A24, Amazon, Apple, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, Disney, Warner Bros. Forty-six of the 225 had any LGBTQ character at all, down from 23.6% the year before. Total queer characters fell from 181 to 112. And of those 112 no trans

225 films from the ten biggest distributors. GLAAD counted the trans characters and got 0.
Not few. Not down. Zero — and round numbers take effort.
Why the fuck are they trying to erase us again? What the fuck did we do?

The AG said no attorney general should ever pledge independence from the White House. Eight hundred words was not room enough.
Tonight, four times the length and worse language.
