There's discourse so I'll say this; transmisogyny and transmasculine erasure are the same biases that play out against different groups. They are intrinsically connected.
This means that transmasculine people should care about transmisogyny. This also means that transfeminine people should care about transmasculine erasure.
I've written on this issue before - all too often, transmasculine erasure is practiced in trans spaces. This is especially devastating as it comes from those who we hope would be our allies.

For those of you who are not aware, a piece of extremely transphobic legislation passed the Texas house yesterday, #HB25. Over on @StepUp4Trans I'm going to discuss the exact nature of what happened and its implications, but here I want to get a bit more personal. 🧵
I want to talk about why this happened. Because I listened to 6+ hours of legislative proceedings yesterday of people who hate trans kids, especially trans girls, and I am appalled.
This happened because it was allowed to happen. This happened because there won't be consequences.
The thing that struck me most about the proceedings was that even though there were impassioned speeches by trans kids and their allies, even though there were statistically backed, logical arguments against the bill, it didn't matter. The bill passed.

Happy (early) Halloween! To continue with my series on bats, today we'll be talking about the sociology and biology of the spookiest bat of all - the vampire bat. A Victorian-era illustration of a vampire bat head.
Part of the reason bats are so associated with Halloween is because the Victorian English public became aware of many varieties of bat with nose and ear fringes at the same time as Halloween was gaining popularity. Ernst Haeckel's drawings of many varieties of South American
While we now know that these features are primarily used to channel sound for echolocation, Victorian European naturalists were frightened by these features and believed they indicated bloodsucking tendencies. A photo of the face of an Antillean Ghost-Faced Bat, with ve

Today is #NationalComingOutDay, and I've been waiting all year to discuss some thoughts. I hate National Coming Out Day. 🧵
There are a few reasons why but the biggest is this: coming out day places all the responsibility on the queer person to come out, and none of the responsibility on cishet people to do better.
So if you're queer - I see you and I value you, whether you're out or not. You don't owe anyone information on your gender or sexuality. It's not "lying". Please don't feel pressure to come out until you're ready, really ready. I promise it's okay to wait if you're afraid.

Happy Early Halloween! 👻 Earlier this week, we talked about the diversity, social context, and adaptations of bats! For today's science thread, I'd like to zoom in on one particular species and one particular threat to that species. If you live in North America, listen up! 🧵🦇
Myotis lucifugus is a nondescript little bat. Its common name is even "little brown bat", and it is perhaps a bat that most fits the archetype of what we think of when we hear the word "bat". But these little guys are a lot more impressive than they look! A photo of a little brown b...
These bats were some of the most successful in North America, with a range from coast to coast and from Central Mexico to Alaska! This is a huge range of different biomes they have learned to survive and thrive in! A map showing the massive r...
