I need someone to hold me.
Oh great. This was retweeted by a Trump supporter with a million followers. I just blocked 150+ people mocking me for being a trans woman, posting photoshopped horrible pictures, calling me slurs, etc.

It's gonna be a long night.
200+ & 3 threats of violence now.

I appreciate your kind words everyone. Y'all are amazing.

One way to get back at them is to support my work. I'm a full-time civil rights activist—my @Patreon makes that possible. Please consider a small monthly pledge: patreon.com/daniellemuscato

I've come to a realization. It took me a really long time to admit this, because for me, politics is so personal…#trans rights, feminism, racism, anti-capitalism. I wanted to believe that the right—in their own way—had authentic values-based reasons for being politically active
The more I interact with Trump supporters, the more I watch video after video of Trump rallies, the more time I spent in Trump forums trying to "figure it out," the more I realize, this is not about ANY political platform or policy at all.

To them, this is entertainment.
They go to rallies to have fun. They create groups to have fun. They exploit our anxiety & fear of being killed or legally "erased" as queer people or dying of poverty because it's FUNNY to them.

@AdamSerwer nailed it when he said, "The cruelty is the point."

They are SADISTIC.

It's the first ever International #PronounsDay! I'm so excited and I want you to be excited, too.

Here are a few things to know about pronouns:

1. Many #trans people, myself included, HAVE to out ourselves & tell people our pronouns, if we want others to gender us correctly.
YOU CAN HELP normalize this by doing a couple of REALLY simple things:

- Edit your Twitter & FB bio, email sig, etc to include your pronouns, whether you're #trans or not.

- ALWAYS introduce yourself with your name AND pronouns, eg: "I'm Danielle & my pronouns are she/her."
2. Understand that correct pronouns are NOT optional, nor a preference. In some jurisdictions, it's even against sex-based discrimination laws to misgender someone.

- NEVER say "preferred pronouns." It's not a preference. My pronouns are she/her; anything else is inaccurate.

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

I haven't read this yet, but not a big fan of being described as "natal male" – it's f-ing 2018, people know what "trans woman" means! and why is my baby status even relevant to something I wrote as an adult? STOP TALKING IN BABY TALK PEOPLE!!!
from the replies I'm seeing, I probably shouldn't even bother looking at it, huh? and yes, I was already aware of The Economist's history of publishing trans-skeptical/problematic pieces over the last year or two...
here is @ZackFord with a THREAD breaking down of the many problems with this piece... #trans #transgender #LGBTQ

Probably the most infuriating aspect of debating anything relating #trans issues is not actually the virulent, anti-trans people -- it's the people who are under the delusion that 'both sides' are somehow right and aren't listening to each other.
Like legitimately, I would much rather face someone telling me I'm a secret rapist than someone telling me that my biggest problem in life is that I'm not genuinely listening to the arguments of the person saying I'm a secret rapist.
And I saw *exactly* the same types of arguments when I was campaigning for marriage equality in the States. Nice, smiley 'liberal' people in the middle who thought I just wasn't listening well enough to the people screaming, "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MARRIAGE" in my face.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
