@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?

So I saw @sharicedavids being dissed by the Berners--she's a Native American, #lesbian candidate running in KS & supported by @EmilysList--and was, of course. stunned. Then I read this and got outraged.
Emily’s List jumps into 6-way KS House primary race wapo.st/2N7ZoVT?tid=ss…

Weigel quotes the former fundraiser for a candidate who was forced out of the race on Davids: "Sharice is inexperienced--and when you start pulling back the veneer, there’s not a lot there.”
No quote from @sharicedavids. No defense from her team. Just that random slam.

What's the "veneer"? @sharicedavids being Native American? an out #lesbian? a lawyer who graduated from Cornell? progressive? supported by @emilyslist?
Oh did I mention Davids is the only woman and POC in the race?
"Veneer."
Stop your random dog-whistling, please.

Pulp is lowbrow and cheap, which is why it was able to skirt around the censorship laws of the 1950s and cover subjects that 'serious' novels had to hint at. And one taboo topic dominated pulp in the 50s: #lesbian love.
This is the story of the lesbian pulp explosion...
This is the story of the lesbian pulp explosion...
There were a few pre-war novels that treated lesbians as serious characters in relationships with other women, but mostly the topic was handled in circumspect code. However all that changed in 1950...
Women's Barracks by French author Tereska Torrès was published by Fawcett Gold Medal in 1950. Describing the lives of Free French Forces stationed in London in WWll it candidly discussed lesbian relationships and passions, and went on to sell over four million copies worldwide.
Happy #Pride
I was expelled from my all-girls high school for being a #lesbian & put in a mental hospital for #conversiontherapy.
I became an #LGBT activist to prevent that from happening to other girls like I was.
Yet conversion therapy is still legal.

I memorialize every #lesbian who died hidden in the shadows because of #homophobia, who was forced into compulsory heterosexuality, who was made to live a lie. You deserved better. We honor you by making a safer world for lesbians today. Amen.

On #Pride I think of the #lesbian who became my mentor. She propelled me forward into lesbian #feminist writing. #AudreLorde opened a door for me I didn't know existed. I am so grateful she was in my life and left such a legacy for #lesbians.

The Wife's fam are immigrants.
So tonight we were talking about #JohnKelly.
I am imagining #MothersDay with the fam all together & The Wife's mother, whose parents were a carpenter & a lacemaker who didn't speak English. The Wife's mother is a painter & retired art professor.

#JohnKelly's xenophobia & racism are over-the-top, even for someone in the Trump administration. How can someone who lost a child be so cavalier about children being separated from their mothers? How can he claim immigrants can't assimilate? How do Trump's people talk like this?
#HeyJohnKelly
My father's mother was from Sweden, never went to school past 5th grade. Her husband, my grandfather, never went past 8th. She took in washing, he was a photographer. They were both functionally illiterate.
My father won a scholarship to an Ivy League college.

9./ the transfascism agenda is decimating #lesbian women. please stop inexplicably loving pathologically narcissistic violent biological males more than inexplicably hating women-loving lesbian women.
please unroll my 9-tweet thread?
@tealtastic @MikeSegalov @OwenJones84 @goodjobliz jesus christ. 9 long, informative, factual, reasoning, responses as to how transfascism is decimating lesbian existence. all explained with documented evidence. & she just blocks. it's unnerving how much some women hate lesbians. & love malevolent transfascist biological males.
The real, real, story of #Minnesota adoptions, #childtrafficking and #organharvesting. #Lesbian recruits handlers and groomers👊
There was no #LesbianVisibilityDay when I was 16.

One of America's greatest poets was a #lesbian--#AdrienneRich. When she died March 27, 2012, I wrote this tribute to her, illuminating her work and life.

I stand with @JoyAnnReid
I stand with black women.
I stood with black women in 2005.
I've stood with black women since I was a child & my parents were Civil Rights workers.
I will stand with black women till my last breath.
If you do NOT stand with black women, ask yourself why.

As a #lesbian, I hope people will stand with/for me.
They don't always, because being an ally takes work.
But I welcome allies, no matter how long it takes folks to get there.
We must believe in people being able to #change.
None of us has perfect politics nor personal lives.

Every day people change.
People who were racists realize they were wrong.
Men who were misogynists realize women are people.
Homophobes realize they were wrong.
We all have the power to realize we have been wrong and to change.
Embrace change.
It's how we heal the world.
