This petition to stop NZ First's stupid sex definitions bill has been open for nearly a week and has over 2k signatures
The hate group's petition that spawned this bill took four months to get 2.2k signatures
The pro-trans petition had just 1.2k signatures earlier this afternoon, looks like it'll likely overtake the TERF one tonight

βI created a list of 19 ways that the Nazis pushed Jews out of society between 1933 and 1939, paving the way for the βFinal Solution.β They banned Jewish people from schools and universities, from the civil service, and from the media. They made it illegal for them to participate in sports, kicked them out of the military, and denied them state funded health care.β
βBy my count, Republicans today are attempting to achieve all 19 but attacking trans people instead.β

my favourite thing to say instead of "ladies and gentlemen" might just be "enbies et cetera"
Hereβs the one thing doctors genuinely donβt tell you about transition:
Itβs worth it. Itβs so fucking worth it. And statistically if you want to do it, it has the lowest regret rate of almost any medical change.
Yes. Even now. Even when itβs scarier than itβs been in decades.
Itβs still worth it
Everyone assumes they would be the one pulling the lever but in reality that is someone else

Huh. I wonder how sighted people like it.

How come?
I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out.

Let see how that works in here:

You know the worst thing about today's ruling? It doesn't take into account the primal, overwhelming power of - and I'm going to use the old term - gender dysphoria.
Most cis folk haven't experienced it, though many cis queer peeps know what I mean from a different context. The compulsion to live free or die. I wouldn't be alive now if I hadn't transitioned.
The lucky ones transition before they get there but the rest of us hit a point in our lives where it's transition or die and that's not hyperbole. I always wanted to see a world where transition happened for all before that point, because I barely made it through. That hope is pretty much gone.
Call us mentally-ill if you like. I don't care. I live, or I don't. For the sake of preventing some vile people feeling a bit uncomfortable, you've put our lives in real danger, judges of the Supreme Court.
You're disgusting bigots and any remaining respect I once had for the law has gone. We're outlaws again.
Please boost this unless you don't give a shit.
