It's a banner year for LGBTQ inclusion at the #GoldenGlobes but trans writers say Foreign Language nominee "Girl" is "the most dangerous movie about a trans character in years." Read what trans and queer critics are saying. @TheAcademy @NetflixFilm

🚨 THREAD
“Girl isn't a ‘deeply humane’ or ‘arrestingly empathetic’ drama about the trans experience…It's sadistic exploitation made for uneducated cisgender audiences to feel like they get it…It's the most dangerous movie about a trans character in years.” @THR hollywoodreporter.com/news/belgiums-…
"A sickening sense of alienation swept through me in that screening as I watched cis men distort the intimate facets of my life in order to flex their artistic muscles." @BFI bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/n…

.@AllianceDefends wants to take down conversion therapy bans by arguing "religious freedom" glaad.org/blog/alliance-…
This week, @AllianceDefends attorney Matt Sharp argued that California’s Assembly Bill 2943, which would declare conversion therapy a fraudulent practice, “burdens free speech and the free exercise of religion.”
In their ongoing efforts to further promote their anti-LGBTQ agenda, @AllianceDefends is working to undermine every major medical and mental health organization in the country which have condemned this dangerous practice.

A Night in Helltown Story #Thread
I was a freelance photographer, freelance portrait artist, freelance writer, and a professional gamer. Well, I was actually rolling in money, but still lived a private and secluded life, loved by many, friend to none, and it just had to be that way if I still wanted to cohabit
peacefully with others.
I was born with a curse, one that some call a ‘unique gift’. Where the normal human sense would pick up the strange smell of burning rubber and sulphur in unusual places, I could see the demon itself, yeah! I could see and hear angels, demons, and ghosts

#Thread: Rough translation on Rajini's recent statement on RMM activities.

I'd like to clarify the false rumors stating RMM works are happening without my permission. All activities regarding RMM are happening with my knowledge & permission.

#RajinikanthPoliticalRevolution
Already by last year May month, I said that "I won't allow people near me who have thoughts of getting posts & earning money when I enter politics. So, those people stay away right now."

#RajinikanthPoliticalRevolution #Thread #Rajinikanth
Didn't say it for word-sake. We are entering politics to bring out a new political culture for a good political change. If we've to do politics like others, why should we enter politics?

THREAD: earlier I tweeted about Jesse Singal's long history of writing fearmongering anti-#trans/GNC #children articles (+ also treating me & other trans women shittily): #transgender #LGBTQ #health #psychology
...Here I will "live tweet" Singal's latest Atlantic article, which is in the same vein as the others. If I was teaching a journalism class, I'd use this latest article as an example of how to write a highly biased piece that comes across as "fair & balanced" as possible...
...and since people unfamiliar with this subject will no doubt be unaware of all the misinformation & biases at work here, I'm gonna do math to it! I'm dividing it into 14 sections, each of which begins with its own header (aka, giant capital letter)...

History of Sikhism in Kerala. #Thread

Ezhava Leader KC Kuttan was the first Malayalee to embrace Sikhism on April 1936 in Amritsar.

Why did they convert? The OBC Ezhavas and Dalits were not allowed to enter the Temples in Kerala. Temple entry agitation began in 1890's.
In 1901, the Avarnas (Ezhavas & Dalits) formed 51% of Kerala's population & 54% of Travancore population in 1901, yet they were denied entry into Temples, Schools & Travancore Assembly.
Vaikom Satyagraha of 1924 was aimed at securing freedom of movement for all sections of society through the public roads leading to the Temple.

Ezhavas began flocking towards Christianity after 1924. Even the nephew of Sree Narayana Guru converted to Christianity (Jacobite).

(THREAD) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Mike Flynn will plead guilty to Making False Statements at 10:30 AM EST today (Friday). This is the biggest development in the Russia probe so far. This thread explains what it all means, and will be updated throughout the day. Please read and share.
1/ First, it's important to understand that Mueller has entered into a plea deal with Flynn in which Flynn pleads guilty to far less than the available evidence suggests he could be charged with. This indicates that he has cut a deal with Mueller to cooperate in the Russia probe.
2/ We've already seen Mueller do this once before in the probe, with George Papadopoulos—who was charged with the same crime as Flynn, Making False Statements, to secure his cooperation with the Russia probe. The Papadopoulos plea affidavit emphasized facts were being left out.
