A brick went through the front window of a family pharmacy in Woodland, California, on a weekend, because the store hung a sign that read Hate Has No Business Here.
Nobody convened what happened next. Longtime customers, friends and family turned up Sunday morning with plywood and a drill.

                "On Feb. 25, Siobhan Kirchstein received an official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles instructing her to surrender her driver’s license. She was one of hundreds of Kansans who received such letters when Senate Bill 244, a hastily passed piece of legislation, invalidated driver’s licenses on which the gender marker did not match the holder’s sex as assigned at birth.

                “Additionally, please note that the Legislature did not include a grace period for updating credentials,” the letter said. “This means that once the law is officially enacted, your current credential will be invalid immediately.” The law was going into effect the next day.

                Kirchstein, 41, had transitioned in 2023. She had changed her legal name and her gender marker in the Social Security system, on her passport card and on her Kansas driver’s license. It required jumping through a lot of bureaucratic hoops — the name change alone required a court hearing and proof that Kirchstein had notified her bank, credit card company, landlord and others — but it was worth it, to make it official.

                Now she considered disobeying the instruction from the Division of Vehicles. She went down some internet rabbit holes to figure out what the consequences might be. It appeared that if she was caught driving with an invalid license, she would be fined and sent to jail for five days; if caught doing it more than twice, she would face three months in jail. She’d heard that Kansas might be placing transgender women in men’s prisons, and she feared violence, even rape. So, while some friends wondered aloud whether the state was really going to enforce the new law, Kirchstein decided to comply.

                  So it's on record, trans rights are human rights. All humans deserve human rights.

                  There are no qualifications necessary beyond being sentient, genetically homo-sapien, and having a pulse.

                  Human? Okay, you get rights.

                  Everyone experiences loss, gain, expectation, fear, and joy and anyone can experience abuse. There is no separation between you and others besides space and mindset, and no one deserves abuse or misfortune just because someone else can't agree on a gender classification.

                  I'm in the body I agree with, but I couldn't imagine being so bullheaded that I demanded everyone else walk the line they were born with for my sake. Who is anyone to demand their personal preferences on anyone else? Who is anyone to tell anyone else how to live at all? As things go, this is the most anti-me thing there can be! Imagine if everyone was 100% who they are 100% of the time, no closets and no doors. What a colorful and truthful world we'd have.

                  One of the major flaws of humans -to me, is that we hide things as trivial as eating a piece of candy and as major as how we view ourselves. Admitting and owning yourself isn't just right, it's truth, and you should never deny truth.

                        In 1993 Brenda and Wanda Henson bought land outside Ovett, Mississippi, and opened a feminist, lesbian-run retreat and food bank in a county that made its feelings clear immediately. Somebody left a dead dog on their mailbox.

                        They didn't leave. They ran the pantry. They kept the gate open, and over years the temperature around them changed — which is the least dramatic and most difficult kind of victory there is.

                                                    JK Rowling is not a feminist. It's as simple as that. Feminism is trans-inclusive, otherwise it's meaningless.

                                                    JK Rowling spent years telling the world she was standing up for women. Then she turned around and defended posting an up-skirt photo of a trans woman by saying she "chose to dress that way." Women have been fighting that excuse for decades. It has always been victim blaming and it still is. Your principles don't get to change based on who the target is. If this excuse is unacceptable when it's used against one woman, it's unacceptable when it's used against any woman. Where do you draw the line between activism and public humiliation?

                                                      Rainbow flags over a city that went dancing and got a coroner instead.

                                                      A white van cut Berlin's Christopher Street Day short on Saturday night. One woman is gone — a name her family has and the rest of us don't yet. Hold her first. Everything after.

                                                      By first light the Berliners were already lined up in the dark to help the search, the festival's own people holding each other where the confetti was supposed to fall. The dance does not stop because the music was cut. It never has. Not once.

                                                      Who showed up for you when it would have been easier to go home?
