The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.
Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"
The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.
Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitation—hospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."
so funny how the older u get ur like how the fuck on gods green earth did people used to manage all th- ahhh.. i need one of these wives everybody keeps talking about..
"how was X so successful and productive and achieving?" wife feeding and clothing and cleaning and shopping and parenting for them and also probably booking appointments and personal receptionist work. AND stimulant abuse. and shes supposed to suck you off whenever. id kill him too #feminists
[tumblr] seems to be a great place for seeing more discourse about discourse than the actual, first-layer discourse itself
“i’m so mad, everybody’s saying xyz”
ok sure homie that’s valid and all but you’re the 8th blogpost this scroll i’ve seen making this exact point and i’ve yet to actually hear any xyz.
is everyone saying xyz? or did they themselves see a blogpost about it and we’re all going oneguy’ed? or is this about twitter? or am i worse at realizing bot activity than i thought
the thing is like men and men really cant be friends because the sex part does always get in the way like thats true. and i mean that like im actually dead serious about that
like have you ever seen two straight men attempt to be friends with each other but the gay sex they arent having is literally preventing them from the transformative healing power of friendship. this is real
i dont even mean this in a "they want to fuck each other" way (although many of them do and will never know it) i mean that like the fact that gay sex is even hypothetically possible between them makes it loom over their friendship like it genuinely haunts them that they could be having it. gay sex is the elephant in the room every time they attempt to be emotionally vulnerable with one another, every time they let a hug linger too long. they cannot address its existence and so there is always something in their way, preventing true connection. and that something is the gay sex. that they are not having. the elephant of gay sex
im great at beginning. im beginning new shit all the time!! but my follow through is Ass…
sometimes that makes me worry that i won’t have anything to show for my years of time. so many others are honed in their crafts, or even at least spent mucho time being obsessed with something, or learning lots. Im like kinda average at a lot of things and move from thing to thing very quickly…
but im at least happy i’m pretty sure
i like trying new things
im hopeful
i don’t have a lot of time to sit down an practice shit any way
What’s the preferred term for ur brain friends? (are they all friends or are some unpleasant to u?)
Do u have alt accounts for afformentioned?
Do u identify with the term DID ?
I saw u used different pronouns for a couple in an previous ask, do u each have seperate gender identities, and/or do u have an overall gender/sexuality consensus that u align with?
do u each have different tastes in music/art? (and can u speak to that, or is it more of a ask during player 2 or 3’s turn kinda thing?)
what are all of y’alls names?
do you prefer you (plural) or you and them?
I probably have more but that’s all I got for now, and I gotta head to sleep. Feel free to answer as many or as little as you like!! I wholly intend no malice in any of these questions, I’m just uneducated and I’d like to get to know about you and systems in general. Much love and happy pride 🏳️🌈💝😊
HI!! back from my break so I can answer these [:
What’s the preferred term for ur brain friends? (are they all friends or are some unpleasant to u?)
I've been moving away from clinical terms over the years! I have a bunch of nicknames for everyone. they're my crew, my bunch of idiots, my lot, my flatmates, the others, etc. if you're just talking about One person though, headmate works fine. names are great too if you're talking about someone specific! I have nothing against the term "alter" but it feels a little impersonal and vague to me. [: AND YES! they are all pleasant to me. it was extremely rocky the first few years after we all figured stuff out. me and phoebe butted heads for a LONG time. martin and I also didn't get along well. but our communication and relationships are pretty good these days! phoebe and I are best friends forever now and we kill each other with hammers for fun
Do u have alt accounts for afformentioned?
yuppp! most of my crew don't like using my account, because it can feel a little weird to borrow it from me. we all have very separate identities, so if someone feels like blogging, they'll use their own blog. that doesn't stop some of the others from reblogging to my main for notes though. greedy... I don't usually share everyones' urls because ill intentioned people tend to target them despite not targeting me. kind of shit! BUT sunny is @silly-solar-robot, francis is @chocolate-fish, and alistair is @astronomy-addiction. there's more, but that's not my place to share!
Do u identify with the term DID ?
eeehh. complicated! this is the term that's most well known when it comes to systems, and it's MUCH easier to say "I have DID" than it is to say "I'm a system but I don't experience complete amnesia between switches and I'm currently so far along with my mental health journey that we're barely disordered anymore and this is just how we live". if you're being technical, what I have is most likely OSDD-1B [: but again, I'm moving away from clinical terms for myself whenever I can! this is just my life. it's unusual, but it's normal.
I saw u used different pronouns for a couple in an previous ask, do u each have seperate gender identities, and/or do u have an overall gender/sexuality consensus that u align with?
YUPPPP to a ridiculous degree. like francis (she/they) gets gender dysphoria from my (trans man, pre-everything) body. no overall gender/sexuality consensus at all either. some of us are aroace, some of us only like men, some of us have no clue.... everyone having different gender situations makes transition choices tricky, but we manage [: some of the others are even "technically" trans, e.g. sunny, who spent the first few years of her existence as a man but came to the realisation a few years later that she's a girl. that being said, it's important to be aware that this doesn't translate to bodily experiences and oppression! nobody in my crew would be affected by transmisogyny in the outside world. sunny has faced some pretty shit transphobic remarks online, but that's about it.
do u each have different tastes in music/art? (and can u speak to that, or is it more of a ask during player 2 or 3’s turn kinda thing?)
VERY MUCH SO. but we also share some similarities!!! think of it like growing up in the same household. because we all did! if you have siblings (though my bunch aren't like siblings, relationship wise) you might share some interests with them. I really like shoegaze, 80s/90s kiwi rock, and folk rock (e.g. andrew bird I think ?) while sunny is a BIG fan of kpop, 60s american pop, and 2020s EDM. also the despicable me 3 soundtrack specifically? okay crazy ❤️ love you girl. phoebe meanwhile is on a mission to permanently damage her hearing by 25
what are all of y’alls names?
oh my god okay hang on. can I even remember off the top of my head. YOU'D THINK THIS WOULD BE EASY BUT IT'S LIKE TRYING TO REMEMBER ALL YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY'S NAMES OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. in no particular order: robin, sunny, francis, phoebe, jasper, alistair, beatrice, selene, moon, jon, zoe, julian, circe, katie, claire, silas, sylvie, martin, betty, and nat. SO MANY. RIDICULOUS. SCARES ME A LITTLE. though out of everyone, me, sunny, francis, phoebe, alistair, jasper, jon and julian are the most talkative and are out and about the most.
do you prefer you (plural) or you and them?
me and them!!! we're very very separate. it genuinely doesn't make sense to refer to us collectively when you're just talking to one of us at any given time. it'd be like asking one member of a flatting situation "do you like cycling?" while meaning The Entire Flat. we're just a bunch of people sharing one noggin! it's nicer to talk to each of us as individuals. we don't have a collective name (beyond just "menagerie system" for whenever that's useful) or pronouns. [:
(a guide I FINALLY made like last year after SEVEN YEARS OF PROCRASTINATION. it's a little inaccurate! jasper now uses they/she, and sunny exclusively uses she/her. I think everything else is up to date though. NO clue if betty is actually still here or if she even looks like that anymore. she was very new when I made this, and sometimes people show up and disappear very soon after. the rest of my crew have all been around for over half a decade at LEAST, if not most of my life.)
GET A DASHCAM. YOU SHARE THE ROAD WITH PEOPLE WHO WILL DRIVE OVER 6 CITY BLOCKS UP A LIGHT RAIL TRACK RAMP TO A STATION 4 STORIES IN THE AIR AND THEN BLAME IT ON "THE GPS TOLD ME TO". IF YOU DRIVE GET A DASHCAM
So apparently the Mac and cheese you can manufacture in your settlements in fallout 4 has no radiation and heals just as much as purified water for a fifth of the carry weight so anyways I’ve set up a pasta farm so I can run through the wasteland crunching down on uncooked Mac and cheese so fast that nothing can kill me
Here’s the secret behind mass manufacturing Mac and cheese. You need razorgrain, carrots, purified water, and plastic.
Your settlers will eat all of their food in reverse alphabetical order. So if you don’t fill your settlements with tatos you will never have any razorgrain left over.
You’ve gotta set up a purified water farm and make sure that your settlers exclusively live off of tatos if you want to set up your Mac and cheese operation. Carrots will never be an issue and you can just buy plastic once you have enough purified water.
Why would you go through all of this though when you can just drink the purified water? I mean sure it’s heavier but it takes less time to make it. Why bother?
For the sheer joy of mass manufacturing Mac and cheese during the apocalypse of course.
i will never understand not liking an entire medium of art. like a genre? i get it. a specifc author? totally. but you just. don't like.. reading? you don't like tv? animation? movies? music? no offense but. how do you exist ? maybe the number one thing that gives my life meaning is my ability to engage with art and if there was a full medium of art that i could nit engage with i would be really upset. like even if i didnt like it i think id make a concerted effort to explore that until i found something within it i did. like. art is everything. is it not?
and yes this extends to "lesser mediums" like video games and anime and especially Porn as well. art is everywhere and can exist in any form. appreciating it is what makes life so fun and interesting, art is a lens that allows us to view life in different ways, art is meaning, art is Fun, art is heartbreak and regret and anger and all of that is Worth It. art is, above all else, Worth It
