Correction to this article: I was never "forced" to show my ID. Several times, it was demanded, and I refused on principle, citing city law. No trans person should feel obligated to comply with unlawful requests, esp. when it puts them in danger.

I worry that a trans person will read this article and feel pressured to go along with incidents of discrimination that can put them at risk of physical violence and/or escalated forms of discrimination (being fired from their job). This should never be the case.
I really appreciate the coverage by @CallumPaton1 and @Newsweek, and I've already emailed them with this correction.

I would like to remind everyone that the only political campaign Aaron Sorkin ever won was a fictional presidential election that he wrote.
And I think there's something deeper here: Sorkin really just wants gravitas, and he's okay if the gravitas in our elected officials comes with troubling compromise.

We like @AOC and @Ilhan and these incoming Members because they prioritize substance over gravitas (appearance).
HEY, quick clarification for some who have asked: this is not at all defending Sorkin. Quite the opposite. I'm saying his obsession with the "gravitas" expressed by older white male politicians is ridiculous, which @AOC explains quite well on her page. Thanks! ❤️

This would make an especially dark episode of “Black Mirror”. A person is downloaded and trapped into a drive-thru voice box. They can only say “thank you” when prompted, and their emotional health is entirely based on the customer saying something back. Which rarely happens.
They spend their days and nights voiceless, alone with their own thoughts. Until one day, a customer comes and says “thank you” back in a really pleasant voice. And this customer starts coming every day at the same time. The voice box waits for this person. Only they matter.
For months, the person comes and says “thank you” back and sometimes, their car is stalled in line waiting to move forward and the voicebox hears little bits of their life. This is a wonderful person. A good, fun person. The voice box waits every day for these tidbits.

This is the most scrutinized political scandal in American history by a mile. If you think the reporters and editors at Buzzfeed didn’t throughly comb through every detail of this scoop numerous times, you are sorely mistaken.

Mueller’s office is nitpicking to calm down Trump.
And wouldn’t this be a clever way for Mueller’s office to wink at Congress that something big is coming by obliquely confirming the nature of Buzzfeed’s scoop via admonishing its “characterization” of smaller bits?
Breathe, y’all. Breathe.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...

"Pierce said her son told her, 'I know you buy me boy stuff because I'm a boy, but I'd rather dress like a girl.'"

Jamel was just 9. We can't know whether they'd eventually identify as #trans, but that quote suggests they might have. #SayTheirName #TDoR

Jamel Pierce died by suicide on 23 Aug 2018 just 4 days after coming out at school. in Denver, Colorado (USA).

They were just 9, and it seems that they may well have been #trans. We have no way of knowing. #SayTheirName #TransLivesMatter #TDoR

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
