My work this week: Inmate at women’s prison files suit over housing of transgender prisoner #mepolitics pressherald.com/2026/04/03/inm…

@sappholives83 Yeah. We can ditch “gender identity” laws that enable this madness

Can we do something about this trend where gay men are going around pretending to be lesbians? Lesbians are female. We neither have nor want anything to do with a penis. This charade is offensive and culturally appropriative. Just fvcking stop already.

@JEFFVARNER @benappel Just because you are gay doesn’t mean you are part of a freak show.

Ben Appel’s WSJ piece “I’m Gay, but That Doesn’t Make Me ‘Queer’” is excellent and necessary. @benappel bravely stating what so many of us feel. Our sexuality doesn’t require rejecting what’s normal and legitimate. It doesn’t force us to embrace “queer” ideology or become an identity insurgent. He nails it. Queer theory isn’t gay rights; it’s a misguided rejection of shared human values and reality itself. It’s rare to see this perspective from a gay male in mainstream media. Well done, Ben.

@fem_mb @KDansky You so rock Jennifer!

My group, New England Women's Solidarity (NEWS), made it into Kara Dansky's weekly TERF Report this week. Thanks, @KDansky! karadansky.substack.com/p/what-on-eart…

@red_violette @fem_mb Send Katie Mountain the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone — direct from Amazon or @jk_rowling 🙂🪄

@fem_mb @dillesquire Is there a way we can support this?

BREAKING: A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Maine inmate Katie Mountain, who was abused by trans-identifying male murderer Andrea Balcer when she was forced to room with him. archive.vn/YCjPc Her lawyer, @dillesquire, is a member of the group I co-direct, New England Women's Solidarity. @reduxx @TheMaineWire @BostonGlobe @WDI_USA @WomensLibFront @KDansky @ichinita310 @ebclaw @nytimes @womaniiwomaninc @bangordailynews

@NewYorker How many states give purveyors of “gender affirming care” I.e., the drugging and butchering of kids, immunity from suit beside Maine? #mepolitics

The abortion provider Marie-Louise Giraud was executed by guillotine in 1943, becoming one of the last women to die by capital punishment in France. Today, in the U.S., lawmakers in at least seven death-penalty states have introduced legislation that would allow women who choose abortion to be tried for homicide. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/SvTPF-

We will explain this again and again and again until all children are protected. There is no good evidence for puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or surgery in children with gender dysphoria.

@benappel @fem_mb Thank you!

I’m in The Wall Street Journal today. I’m Gay, but That Doesn’t Make Me ‘Queer’ “My sexuality doesn’t obligate me to embrace a particular ideology or to reject the moral inheritance of the society that made my life possible.” wsj.com/opinion/im-gay…

@MassGovernor Please. As a fellow Northeaster graduate I’m so disgusted with your position. You’ve thrown women and girls under the bus. What a shame.

To our trans neighbors: you’re seen, you’re safe, and you belong here in Massachusetts. While others attack your health and happiness, we'll protect your freedom to be fully, authentically you. #TDOV

@NYCMayor How about women and girls? Do we exist separate from the men who identify as women? Do our stories as actual females matter? Your mother gave birth to you. No matter how hard you try or how confident you apparently are, you lack the gametes. Right, mayor?

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

@nirav_maine Gender identity laws discriminate against women and harm children. Sex matters. Women are real. It’s offensive you deny the biological reality of women and girls. #mepolitics

@nirav_maine “Trans children?” is that like Pagan children or Christian children or vampire children? Or do you actually believe kids can be born in the wrong body?

Trans people, and especially trans children, are under attack by the current federal administration. Everyday there are new threats to their right to exist. My stance is unequivocal: the Maine Human Rights act as currently written is clear in its protection of trans people’s rights. We need to ensure it is upheld across our state. Trans rights are human rights. Today and every day.

@JebraFaushay I worked on a lawsuit to get men out of women’s prisons

We can thank Rachel Crandall-Crocker for today, the International Transgender Day of Visibility. How did you celebrate?

@JenniferSey Amen!

Did you know "biological sex" was invented by the religious right and not just a thing that exists?

🚨BREAKING: “Today, the United States Department of Justice notified California Gov. @GavinNewsom and Maine @GovJanetMills of the initiation of federal investigations into California’s and Maine’s practice of housing men in women’s prisons.” Men should have NO PLACE in women’s spaces!

@aobrien2010 She signed gender identity into law. That sealed the deal.

Has Mills ever actually expressed support for allowing trans kids to play in sports? All I’ve heard publicly is that she said “it’s worthy of debate.” I’ve also heard she’s more open to banning them than she suggests. wgme.com/news/local/gov…

@Sidewalk_Steve I can’t even

"If you are a woman with a vulva, and you are uncomfortable seeing a woman with a penis, too bad. You have to get over it." NH SB552

@2RawTooReal I don’t want to be in a bathroom with men. Period.

What’s your thoughts on genderless restrooms 🚽 I personally don’t see the problem

@mamboitaliano__ Because she can! Stockings are not comfortable

Ladies, a genuine question out of pure curiosity: Why does First Lady Melania Trump never, ever wear stockings, on any occasion, in any weather, with any outfit? Really, never, never, never Does anyone know the reason? 🇺🇸👠

@naomirwolf It’s so infuriating!

I’m in a restaurant with an hour to kill before heading downtown to (yay) a gala. I spoke in Albany this morning in business attire so am carrying my formal dress in a bag. Ordinarily I would change in the ladies’ room, spacious clean stall then common area for makeup and hair — and ask a strange woman to finish zipping me up. Yes, women do that. But now I can’t because it’s all-gender so there are only little stalls with no room plus, yuck, men’s toilets, or else a common area with puzzled or intoxicated men passing by continually behind me as I right now I just try to wash my hands. More male access to space equals loss of utility for women.
