Anti-Trans Legislation Kills

[Digital illustration of a Black trans women wearing a dress made of words describing anti-trans legislation. Bills included are, “gender-affirming care bans, insurance coverage bans, drag bans, misgendering, uneducated medical professionals, youth sports bans, book bans, dead naming, stigma, and workplace discrimination.’ Text reads, ‘anti-trans legislation kills.’]

This isn’t even a meme, this is just what happened & I’m living for it.

Is it dead-naming to refer to “Lucien Greaves” as “Doug Misicko”?

No, it is not.

No, it's not. He is not calling himself names like "Greaves" or "Doug Mesner" out of a sincere desire to identify differently than his gover

Sometimes well-meaning people ask this question sincerely, but in practice, it usually feels like people raise and deploy the specter of dead-naming as a way to distract from all of the other criticisms of The Satanic Temple and its owners that are completely indefensible.

He is not calling himself names like “Greaves” or “Doug Mesner” out of a sincere desire to identify differently than his government name but because he is attempting to make it more difficult to hold him accountable as the owner of a collection of for-profit and tax-exempt corporations he solely or jointly controls totally.

Moreover, we’re still being sued by The Satanic Temple in ̷f̷e̷d̷e̷r̷a̷l̷ ̷c̷o̷u̷r̷t̷ ̷a̷n̷d̷ ̷n̷o̷w̷ King County Superior Court.

TST is also still suing Newsweek and its reporter (but maybe not her anymore!) for writing about us. In addition, the Temple is now suing a TikToker in Texas for talking about our case. Check the pinned post for more.

I find it really f****** rich that Turkey Of all the countries in the world Has the nerve and audacity to tell people What to call them and expect that to be respected on a global stage When their government has still not acknowledged much less apologized for The Armenian fucking genocide like that alone Means i'm never going to respect their request for a name change

Found some dirt on a certain Gym Leader. Yknow how Bugsy says he invented Fury Cutter? Well, I did some digging… Think there’s something the kid isn’t telling us. This article was retracted a couple weeks after it was published. I couldn’t find a copy without the picture scratched out, so no idea who this kid is.

[attached: A scan of an old Johtonian newspaper. The headline is “New Bug-Type Move Discovered by Schoolgirl”. It credits the discovery of Fury Cutter to a girl named [redacted]. She apparently refused to comment.]
