Here comes the part where Tate Reeves invokes transgender *children* to attack Dem opponent Jim Hood, accusing him of supporting him. For the record, I reported on Hood's response when he was asked about transgender children earlier this year... ⅟ #MSelex #MSGov
Reeves' claim that Hood has been at the forefront of trans rights is silly. Hood, asked if he supports trans kids going to bathrooms that correspond w their identity:

"I think it's up to school boards and universities as to who goes where." 2/ #MSelex

jacksonfreepress.com/news/2019/apr/…
Tate Reeves' campaign, though, seems on the verge of telling Mississippians that Hood is just a few steps away from turning your kids transgender and making them worship AOC and Nancy Pelosi.

Can we stop using transgender children for cheap political points? Please? 3/x

White supremacists gathered around civil rights martyr Emmett Till's memorial today with a Mississippi Flag & a League of the South flag to film a racist propaganda video. The Emmett Till Interpretive Center's security cams at the now-bulletproof monument caught them. 1/
Shortly after, members of the white supremacist org disperse & scurry to their cars after apparently setting off a security alarm at the newly-replaced Emmett Till memorial, now bulletproof, after being shot up repeatedly. (Warning: loud video). Story + more footage coming. 2/

Mississippi will have an election under a Jim Crow-era electoral college-style law requiring the victor to not only win the popular vote, but a majority of House districts.

Some say Democrats will now need to win 55% of the vote to win the Nov. 5 election. #MSelex 1/
"The process was written when white politicians across the South were enacting Jim Crow laws to erase black political power...and the separate House vote was promoted as a way for the white ruling class have the final say in who holds office." 2/ #MSelex

"Mississippi’s constitutional convention was held for no other purpose than to eliminate the n**** from politics; not the ignorant—but the n***,” James K. Vardaman, one of the 1890 constitution's framers, said at the time, @wspittman writes. 3/ #MSelex

Gov. Bryant gave credit for the Medgar Evers bill that black Mississippi Congressman @BennieGThompson had worked on for over a decade to Donald Trump & white GOP senators Cindy Hyde-Smith & Roger Wicker. Now he complains Jim Hood isn't giving him proper credit for BP settlement.
This is what Bryant said when Bennie Thompson asked for proper credit:

"It's sad that Congressman Thompson so desires personal acclaim that he shatters what should be a time of celebration for all Mississippians with this designation. ..."

"His anger and hatred are the very characteristics that separated our people in the civil-rights era," Bryant said. jacksonfreepress.com/news/2019/mar/…

Taekook Au (Suggestive or innocent)

Taehyung is straight. Jeongguk might be whipped for him, but he knows too. Then-
"I was just so surprised about how big his package was. I mean how would it fit?"
Why does it seem like everything Tae says lately are gay, sexual and suggestive?
-Jeon Jeongguk
-Crackhead
-Bi as fuck
-Has been into his best friend ever since they entered high school
-He grew up with Tae so he knows he's actually straight
-The first person who realized how suggestive some of the things Tae says are
-BUT NO ONE BELIEVED HIM
-Kim Taehyung
-One of those people who makes you believe you know everything about them but then you realize you know absolutely nothing about him
-Dated girls on and off and no one has ever seen him attracted to any guys
- There are debates over who is really his best friend

brand new piece! it's more of a massive timeline than an essay: Origins of "Social Contagion" and "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria"... juliaserano.blogspot.com/2019/02/origin… #trans #transgender #LGBTQ #health #healthcare #children #psychology
...for those who'd prefer a TL;DR (it is very long), here is the summary of the piece... #trans #transgender #LGBTQ #health #healthcare #children #psychology
...I will share more excerpts from the piece tomorrow. But in the meantime, feel free to share it with others. And if you appreciate this work, and the fact that I make pieces like this for FREE, please consider supporting me on Patreon! patreon.com/juliaserano/ov…

As usual, there are assumptions being made and posted.
1/ Toys - I never said they were wrong. I said they were more stereotypically female. And that I had no problem with any of my kids toy choices. All 4 played with anything they wanted to. It was other people that shamed her.
2/ The friend of my dad who told her that she needed to stop being a poofter when at a family party, 7 years old she wore one of her cousins dresses. I told him to mind his own business in slightly stronger terms.
3/ The guard on the train who saw her playing with her dolls, still dressed as a boy with short hair, and he told me that I needed to stop that or ‘he would turn out funny’

brand new Medium piece, but of an older spoken word piece (from 2012) about the rather old superstition that #LGBTQ people are somehow "contagious" - that's right, the #ROGD crowd didn't invent that! medium.com/@juliaserano/t… #queer #trans #transgender #children #health #psychology
please give it lots of "claps" so that others see it! also, it is not monetized, as I wanted it to be as accessible as possible. if you appreciate that I make essays like this for free, please consider supporting me on Patreon! patreon.com/juliaserano/ov…
also, if you'd rather not sign up for Patreon, you can also support me by buying my book Outspoken - the Medium piece is an excerpt from one of the chapters of that book (called "Contagious"): juliaserano.com/outspoken.html #trans #transgender #queer #LGBTQ #feminism
