#VivianJennaWilson on Being #ElonMusk’s Estranged Daughter, Protecting #TransYouth and Taking on the #Right Online

In Teen Vogue’s special issue cover story, the estranged 20-year-old daughter of Elon #Musk talks about the 'cartoonishly evil' #Trump administration and being a young #TransWoman today.

Excerpt:

"Wilson’s vibrant life, full of possibility, underscores the lifesaving power of #GenderAffirming care for young people. As a child, Wilson struggled through #GenderDysphoria and the attendant mental health issues it often causes. She’s horrified by the wave of #AntiTrans legislation targeting young people like her. In the US, her peers are being demonized by the right, and are left undefended by Democrats. One of Trump’s first executive orders upon retaking office attempted to bar federal funding for health care providers that perform gender-affirming care for young people under 19; multiple federal judges have blocked the order from taking effect for now."

You've got 'til 9PM CASCADIAN/PACIFIC or Midnight EASTERN time to sign public comments against Musk and Trump's anti-trans passport rules.

There are THREE open comments sections. If you use the ACLU's site, it'll cover all three. But if you want to do it directly, you can. just do it all three places.

action.aclu.orgHands Off Our Passports: Stop Attacking Transgender AmericansThe Trump administration is denying accurate passports to trans, intersex, and nonbinary people – so I’m joining the ACLU to fight back. Urge the State Department to reject this dangerous attack on our rights.

#Arizona #TwoSpirit #Powwow empowers community amid growing #AntiTrans legislation

Tuesday, March 4, 2025
By Brandelyn Clark

"The Arizona Two Spirit Powwow returned to #PhoenixArizona on Saturday, February 22, to spotlight Indigenous #LGBTQ+ and two-spirit people for a day of cultural celebration and community.

"Hosted at South Mountain Community College, the event welcomed dancers, drum groups and attendees from across the region. More than just a traditional gathering, the powwow allowed two-spirit individuals to celebrate their identities and honor their place in Indigenous culture.

“'This (powwow) is a perfect example of a #SafeSpace for people to come and dance in whatever category they want to dance in, dress the way that they feel good about themselves, love who they want to love, and they are safe here. This tells the community we are here, we are here for you,' Sheila Lopez said.

"Lopez is the founder of Arizona’s first Two Spirit Powwow and the first Native chapter of #PFLAG, which bills itself as the country’s largest advocacy organization that supports LGBTQ+ individuals and their families.

"President Donald Trump’s recent executive actions have left #transgender and two-spirit communities uncertain about their rights and recognition going forward.

"'It is super important right now with the administration, what they’re doing to pretty much wipe away trans people. It’s super critical right now for us to continue to show up in the community, to say we’re here, we’re not going anywhere and you can’t erase us, period,' Lopez said."

Anti trans hate drove me off all other social media, ignorance runs rampant through my country like a virus, I fear anti-trans legislation will take away my right to live...

But despite it all, since transitioning, I've been happier, more confident, more comfortable in who I am, than I ever was before. They call it "living your truth": it's an accurate description, and my truth is worth facing all that's arrayed against me.

@tillybridges stay strong! Transpeople will always have my support!

As for all the #antitrans people stop harassing people for wanting to be happy! I've seen one of my oldest and closest friends transition and he has never seemed more happy and confident as he does now! He is real and his happiness is real, period.

Reviews of the browser plugin "Shinigami Eyes," which is supposed to highlight LGBTQ allies and people hostile to that community, is being brigaded by people who are subverting its original intent.

The plugin works by flagging posts and comments across a wide swath of social media and online comment sections in colors to indicate whether the person/account posting is someone supportive of LGBTQ people (in green) or who behave with sociopathy or negativity towards that community (in red).

Comments from the Mozilla add-on directory (addons.mozilla.org/en-US/andro) seem to be in wide agreement that, over the past year, as the plugin gained wider use, something happened that resulted in LGBTQ "friendlies" being marked in red, while people who actively encourage harm to that community become highlighted in green. The end result is that people cannot trust what the color code means - the entire purpose of the plugin.

I don't really have any skin in this game, since I don't use the plugin, but it has been my experience that community-driven blocklists often get polluted (usually through deliberate mal-action) with false or misleading reporting of specific accounts by people who are hostile to the blocklist - usually because they or people they support appear on the blocklist.

I also don't have any good suggestions for the developers. I just wanted to post this to call attention to this (possibly) under-the-radar subversion of a tool that many in a marginalized community may have found useful at one point.

Maybe someone who reads this will have a better suggestion for how to accomplish the same goals in a way that is more resiliant against hostile action by those who routinely dehumanize and degrade marginalized communities.

And maybe someone who is kinder than me could help the people who are subverting this tool find some therapy and some love in their own lives, so they don't feel the need to put in the effort to harm so many others.

On a #Reddit news article discussing how American men have been turning to religion in growing numbers while women have been turning away from it, I made the comment:

"Men want to control women, and are adopting an ideology that morally justifies them doing just that."

And the amount of responses shouting some form of #NotAllMen and openly bigoted anti-trans nonsense has been really amazing. Men are not alright.
