This particular RHPS crowd was way queer and way lit, with folks in drag posing down the aisles and doing Rockettes kick lines in the balcony. Plus there was the added fun of freaking the mundanes waiting to get into the TGIFriday's next door. And presiding over it all was Tim Curry's masterful smirk as he sashayed into genderfunk history. :heart_transgender: (2/2)

Today's stop on my Pride Month musical memory tour: when I was in college in Boston in the late 1970s, I got indoctrinated into the wonders of the Rocky Horror Picture Show via its long-running Saturday midnight showing - with excellent live Cast - at the then-beloved Exeter Street Theater in the Back Bay. Ahhh, the memories! (1/2)

"Hundreds of anti-transgender bills proposed in state legislatures are sold as measures to protect minors—such as Idaho’s Vulnerable Child Protection Act and Montana’s Youth Health Protection Act—but advocacy groups and doctors warn that the effect is exactly the opposite. So far this year, legislators in nearly every state have introduced over 550 anti-transgender bills—more than in the past eight years combined. ..."

"A federal judge in Florida told politicians and backers of a new law rolling back gender-affirming care in the state to “put up” facts or “shut up.”

In a preliminary injunction filed from Tallahassee on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle blocked a state law that would that prohibit the prescription of puberty-blocking and other hormone-related therapies for minors from applying to three of seven minors included in the filed case."

Seriously though, why don't more therapists and psychiatrists that work with trans patients not start with a trauma-informed approach or refer their trans clients to trauma therapy?

I know @siege has discussed gender dysphoria as a PTSD response specifically, but the whole experience, from egg-cracking to living as yourself is shaped by the complex trauma most of us experience growing up in a world hostile to trans existence.

Why is it every time I hear a professional describe trauma (e.g. symptoms, experiences, care) that I realize they are literally just describing what every trans person I know lives with? 😅​

Like, I was just listening to a webinar where they describe how trauma makes it hard to remember things in a linear fashion and we might make connections between things that happened at different moments and times because it all happens at once for us...wait, isn't that just Queer Temporality? 😅​

Federal court judge rules:

"Dissuading a person from conforming to the person’s gender identity rather than to the person’s natal sex is not a legitimate state interest. The medical defendants have acknowledged this."

The ruling is 44 pages, but is worth the read. There are a lot of talking points.

"Nikki Haley held a 90-minute town hall on CNN that the New York Times described as 'mild,' apparently because she was willing to say that Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine or praising North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-Un are actually bad things.

"There’s a lot of words I could use for ratcheting up hatred toward our #LGBTQ youth, but 'mild' is not one of them."

It's hard to be happy about this ruling because it's far too narrow, temporary, and likely to get overturned by an activist judge. It is a minor step in the right direction for #trans rights in FL, and a rebuke of the fascist governor, DeSatan.

Need some assistance from other trans femmes or knowledgeable parties about breast feeding. Am not able to take domperidone because of an interaction with my psych meds. So I’ve been told grab a pump, and take 3000-4000mg of fenugreek a day.

For the record I’m taking 6mg oral estrogen and 300mg micronized progesterone daily. The drug that has the interaction is my seroquel which I use to manage anxiety.

Any babes been through this and have suggestions, tips, guides, supplies, or anything else that might help? Really appreciate it. Thanks.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! It’s Pride month, so that means we’re gonna talk about Target, and Dylan Mulvaney/Bud Light, and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and: RAINBOW CAPITALISM.

Me with long curly bangs and long curly hair (I know I always describe it the same but it’s my hair what do you want from me), in blue-framed glasses, in blue eyeshadow and dark eyeliner and red lipstick and red nail polish, in a blue tank top with a white cat head on the front. The cat wears sunglasses and the lenses show the pride flag, which is super weird and is thus great.

Jargon alert: When a judge "enjoins" a law, that "injunction" prevents the state from enforcing while the case is underway.

This means that the judge has found that the claimants are likely to ultimately succeed on the merits of their case and should be protected from further harm.

This is a very good sign. Medical care can continue for #trans youth in #Florida. Coupled with the judge's very strong statement on injunction, it signals a positive final decision.

BIG WIN for #trans youth! U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle has enjoined Florida's ban on youth affirming care. A choice quote from his decision:

"The statute and the rules were an exercise in politics, not good medicine."

"But in response to the threats to your stores, you did something that we in the community cannot do. You see, we can’t simply pull our identities and our lives off the shelves. We can’t just take the rainbow flags down, hoping these monsters leave us alone.

In fact, we know they won’t….

You cannot give them what they want, because they will only come back, demanding more."

Nonbinary pride flag handwarmer, basically a knitted ribbed tube with a hole for the thumb - black, purple, white, yellow.

It is sometimes really interesting to observe how long a thread goes on and what impact it has.

The thread about Quantum Electron Dynamics (QED) / Quantum Physics seems not to ready to die ... or sleep.

But then again, I am happy I got a chance to refresh a lot of the stuff that I read/did over the years in order try to explain some of the beauty of the quantum realm.

But, it sometimes creates weird thoughts and sentences what with chatting in another thread about trans issues, coming out of a lovely person, German politics, ... Having to correct "... you know the trans realm is fascinating. It is so far away from our macro Universe. What is most important is really to understand that words can mean something different for the quantum trans realm than for the cis macro universe... Look at this photon: always transitioning through spacetime at the same pace..." ... Wowowowowow... waitaminit - waitaminit...

Hey there, we are an #LGBTQ couple who have just fled a red state, and we are currently fundraising to survive! We need ~$2500 to pay the movers to drop off the majority of our stuff. It's #urgent because we are at $7553 currently, and we really need to hit $12k by July 1st to stay okay financially, especially since Kat has to find a new job. Even if you can't donate, please #boost!

same goes with misgendering lol, you misgender me once ever and the relationship is like never the same. I don't really get misgendered offline unless I'm out (people usually assume she/her): and when I do it's very rarely deliberately or when friends have just not seen me as a full woman so it accidentally slips out, and I just can't accept even the latter, even if it's accompanied by "trying". Sorry, but no

Maybe you think I have high standards, but I'm not sorry about it

Tbh, I used to waste my time doing this! And you know what I thought back when I did that? That nobody was out there who was better, and so I had to be patient like that and always do that! It wasn't until I said fuck it that I actually had room in my life to meet people who were better. Took a bit but, so worth it

There are plenty of people who know enough about trans people where I'm just not going to waste my time walking someone through the basics in friendship after friendship, or much less even an acquaintance or something. People can either be with the program or they're not ready to be in my life and they need to do their own research on how to interact with trans people
