"In fact, transgender, gender-nonconforming, and gender-fluid people are disproportionately survivors of violence. They deserve to access services consistent with their needs." -- @davidcicilline

"According to the U.S. Transgender Survey--which surveyed nearly 28,000 transgender adults--almost half of transgender individuals have been sexually-assaulted in their lifetime." -- @davidcicilline

"According to the latest FBI statistics, more than 17 percent of all hate crimes reported in 2017 were based on the victim's sexual orientation or gender identity." -- @davidcicilline

"Of 1,300 hate crimes based on sexual orientation, exclusively 118 of those instances were exclusively anti-transgender. And finally, @HRC found that at least 128 transgender individuals have been killed since 2013."

So, today is particularly meaningful for me in light of what I experienced last summer. I was discriminated against for being a proud transgender woman. I was harassed, degraded, and physically assaulted at a restaurant in downtown D.C. (thread)

I was at a bachelorette party with about a dozen girlfriends. We were having a great time, and near the end of the evening, I went to use the restroom and was asked to show ID. When I refused and went inside to one of the stalls, the male employee followed in moments later.
I could hear him searching every stall (in a crowded women's restroom) and then leaving a bit later. When I exited the restroom, he was waiting there with the manager, another man. I was asked to show ID again, and I refused, citing D.C. law. I showed this law to the manager.

Tom Seaver's Hall of Fame ballot story is fascinating. At the time (1992), he had the highest election percentage in history (425 of 430 ballots, or 98.84%). Only Mariano Rivera (425/425, 100%) and Ken Griffey, Jr. (437/440, 99.32%) are higher. Why those five ballots? Read on...
Three of the ballots were left blank by writers in protest of Pete Rose's exclusion. One was filled by a writer recovering from heart surgery who wasn't aware Tom Seaver was eligible. And the last ballot was from a writer who refused to vote for candidates in their 1st year.
So, aside from the asshole who was apparently too good for the five year retirement minimum for candidates, Tom Seaver nearly garnered 429/430 ballots, or 99.77%.

One of the more insightful things I've discovered since coming out is the simple peace of being truly comfortable in my own skin, even when others are not-so-taken with my appearance.
I clearly don't pass, and beyond that, I'm in a rather awkward stage of my transition where I'm not generally physically attractive. But I'm very, very comfortable with how I look. I legitimately feel gorgeous and confident. I like walking outside my door every day.
I compare this to when I was in the closet and while conventionally attractive in a "male" appearance, I felt uncomfortable all the time. I would look pretty great in a suit and still feel really out of my element and consistently unhappy. It didn't feel right on any level.

How Influence Operations Work:
Step 1) Create a False Narrative (lie to your followers)
Step 2) Issue ultimatum to popular MAGA figurehead "Q" and @realDonaldTrump. Muh tweet my video or else you're Fake. I demand it! Muh special, my video was tweeted by POTUS. (((They))) already know this will not happen.

Step 3) When the time is right, label broadcast deceptively to include group pf people you are about alienate, insult, condemn, belittle, call scammers, cult members etc...

and GO LIVE!

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)...

#Fact 1 - The Wage Gap is real. People who says it's not haven't read the data.

However, in places like the USA, the wage gap is *not* mostly due to sexism like many #femnist #WomenInScience are claiming it is today. Disparate outcomes doesn't imply disparate treatment.
Women typically choose fields that are lower paying; even in the #STEM fields. To attribute that to sexism only or even mostly is a very dishonest way of deriving an answer for this complex disparity.

Sources:

cew.georgetown.edu/wp-content/upl…

npr.org/sections/money…
When the US Department of Labor Statistics took into consideration personal choices, non-wage benefits, hours worked, experience, education, and other variables that contributes to the wage gap the percentage of earnings decreases to approximately 3%.
