Yasmin is at the forefront of the asexual rights movement (because Black women are always the ones trying the hardest to free everyone) and she is CONSTANTLY getting attacked for it (because society hates Black women and refuse to listen to them)
Go show her some love!! 🖤🩶🤍💜
Asexual people deserve to be protected by the Equality Act. We deserve to be protected by the ban on conversion therapy. We should not be pathologised in the ICD. I'm going to keep campaigning for that and wearing fishnet tights, so prepare to be mad for a while. 💜🖤

DeSantis just signed the most extreme slate of anti-trans laws in modern history.
A bathroom ban will result in many arrests in months to come.
A care ban targets 80% of adult care.
They are getting little coverage.

Most chemical engineering education is designed to prepare students to work at a refinery, which is not only incredibly outdated given the types of careers our students are interested in these days, but it fundamentally reflects capitalist modes of production & colonial ideology
Which of your STEM education related opinions would get you in this position?

It seems Twitter is dying, so here goes nothing:
~Cisgender people groom their kids into being cisgender
~All billionaires are unethical
~Republicans are fascists who want all women to be uneducated, barefoot, pregnant, and dependent on men (and for trans people to die)

To every trans person out there: you can be an engineer too. I'm proof of that!
To every ace person out there: yes your identity is valid, yes you belong in the queer community.

This proposal sounds like a GREAT way to prevent cis gay men, trans women, etc from having kids via surrogate
Or to just straight-up sterilize Black & Indigenous men 🙄
More state control isn’t the answer. Community-based care networks are the answer. ORGANIZE!!

I’m a transgender college lecturer.
I should not have to fear being physically attacked on a day where I happen to connect my course content to themes of social justice.
I will never back down or alter my teaching style due to threats of violence. But damn, this world is WILD.
Police just determined the stabbings in the Waterloo Gender Studies class were targeted. The attack came directly after calls for an assault on Gender Studies from the likes of Jordan Peterson and Matt Walsh. This is exactly what they want.
